Prologue and Chapter 1

Prologue:

You’ve probably heard of the Sky-ship Y.M.K. In the summertime, you can be greeted with the fully equipped lobby, meanwhile, when you are taking to the air, you get to be loaded with breathtaking views of the aesthetic rivers. When you fly, there would have been a towering arched doorway leading to the sweet fresh air on a fresh balcony. You probably got taken to Mount Averoni, with its flat edges, facing onto the crystal clear, tropical Filipino seafront. Voyaging in the heat is like this.

 

But travelling on an expedition, that is a whole other story. You get sent out to the Easternmost point of the globe, many myths surround this area. So they say, a lung-gripper physically rips your lungs out. If you do, you should try a Sky-ship voyage at the crack of dawn to be particularly safe. You should also try to assist your crew-members, if any attacks arise from the 45-legged Octo army. Few people ever get out of there alive. Rumour has it the Xroma lives in this region, under the ships of its prey.

 

Chapter 1:

The crowd of onlookers were stunned by the Sky-ship Y.M.K as it departed from The Capital Bay. Captain Emrow perched on the edge of the grand balcony, waving to the crowd beneath him. The mechanisms roared into action. Lift-off was ago. The captain was thrilled with his creation.

 

Glancing downwards, Kyran and Jalene took one look at the city of Veserma: all the homes looked like pocket sized bricks; cars looked like beetles, speeding down the roads; and Kashrema River looked like a worm, rolling through the city. In the distance, the sweet smell of bark covered the environment like a sheet around it, when they passed, the emerald green leaves snapped off the branches, while the Sky-ship grazed the tree.

 

Anxiously, Jalene peered over the side of the ship, finding a large piece of tree on the ship, this was concerning to Jalen. Will the ship be safe in this condition?

 

After the stew dinner, the Y.M.K was back to coasting along the sheet of trees, new and exciting insects brushed along the crew members faces, fishers looked up in astonishment, while their boats jerked in the cloudy lake. 

“I don’t think that the ship will make it to the isle of Anaghoma” Jalene stated.

Kyran glared down at the side of the ship “I think you might be right, should we tell the Captain?” Kyran queried.

They both nodded.

 

Later that night, fog painted the atmosphere and storms intimidated the surroundings. None of the Sky-ships inhabitants got any rest: their faces were shook and pale; their usually joyful eyes were bloodshot; and their muscles were painful and weak.

Just as they thought nothing could go wrong, they were in for a surprise, ear piercing alarms went off. The balloon of the sky-ship was torn. With all of this going on, Kyran, Jalene and the Captain powered through the pain, just to reach to control. The Captain set out the wings. That instant, the Sky-ship glided down the steep mountain. Just poking out of the distance, glittery sand blinded the eyes of the trio, leaving them to crash land underneath a forest canopy.
