Prologue:

Have you ever had any family day trips on a skyship? In

summer, you might have flown over rapid waterfalls, soaring

high above the sand and across the wavy seas. When you flew, there 

would have been light blue skies, a quick, cold breeze and that amazing sense of freedom. When you flew there would have been

the forest far below, narwhals jumping higher than a frog from out the sea with their shiny tusk and even a school of swimming turtles. You probably got taken to one of the nearby islands and landed the ship so you could have a bonfire and enjoy the glowing stars. Travelling by skyship in the summer is just like that.

But travelling on an expedition to unknown lands is another matter. You should try a skyship adventure when the thunder rumbles in the storm, the hail throwing itself to the ground and the sky is split apart by lightning. You should try being there when the Ruined dragons attack or worse- make you pass out from fear. You should try being there when the food runs out and there isn’t even a trickle of water in the taps. Few people would wish that on anyone. Even experienced flyers think many times about travelling west through the trees. No one knows what things might hibernate there. Rumour has it that there are snow-owls, uproots and komodo-dragons. Few would wish for an encounter with the broodals… and most say that the rumours are real no matter what and beware.

Chapter 1:

                     The crowd applauded as the skyship Tenshi set off into the

                             clouds and floated there for a few seconds as the Tenshi

                             flew above the crowd. Captain Violeta faced north and gripped

                             the old, wooden wheel, her look was surprising and was beaming

                             with glee. They were up in the air!!

                             Izumi and Natsu glimpsed over the skyship as the Tenshi gently                            

                             rose up. Beneath them, they could see crowds of screaming people

                            cheering for them until they look like a mass of tiny dots. The Tenshi

                            travelled beyond the sea, passing over billions of narwhals and a 

                            swirling circle of fish that moved like a tornado.

                            They could hear the gust of wind that blew right past them. While 

                            waving goodbye, they both turned to each other with Izumi smiling                             

                            with joy. Natsu smiling back until his stomach felt like he had 

                            butterflies fluttering around in there and his face turned completely

                            white as if this adventure would be safe enough for him to be on this

                            journey. 

 After a couple of minutes admiring the gleaming sun, the Tenshi was soon to be somewhere. Izumi glazed underneath her and watched the ocean waves slowly overlapping onto the sand. Natsu groaned, “I wonder if we’ll see any snow-owls or even komodo-dragons.” he murmured, while playing with the tip of his hair.

Izumi clutched onto the pole beside her and replied “I’m really hoping we could find the broodals on the way, I heard they’re rare bunnies.”

That very night, the ship started falling in twists and turns. What might have caused this tragic mess? The engine was making sounds like a car had just broken down from a lorry. They were tumbling down from the sky!!
