Chapter 4

A fierce flock of Fire Vultures beat their hell-ish wings in the fresh, crisp air as if drums being beet methodically.

“I suggest we’ll need to ready our weapons cap’n!”one of the crew members suggested in a firm gruff voice. The captain nodded staring back at the unpromising group of fiendish raptors.

Feathery, worn, wings beat with a staggering rhythm descending down towards the skyship, whilst its dark, tar black, void-like eyes staring them down filling them with doubt of winning the fight. Their rock-solid breaks squawking as if the souls from hell, and talons as sharp as an experienced archer’s accuracy but in definite need of cutting.

“So this is what he warned us about…”Captain Culair mumbled under his breath, everybody swiftly received various weapons:harpoons;shields etc and soon began to shoot at the doves from hell in an aimless hastened manner. The skyship Kotkase suddenly hit something in the air.

Something clawed at the skyship(ruining the paint job)half of the flock pounded on the deck of the skyship causing a mini-earthquake. The crew shake in cause of the vultures but then soon resume war with the vultures. Sudden realisation just hit Captain Culair and orders to James

“Use the gem!” Arthur quickly rummages through his pockets and fishes out the gem.

Confused he stares hard at it hoping his best for something to happen when a Fire Vulture swoops down for the phoenix gem soon the whole flock starts coming after him, in a panic James starts waving it about but it was until it shone in the sun a large beam of energy burst out of it. As the beam shot out it had startled all of the Fire Vultures and paralysed them in fear as they fleed in a flock.

Soon they landed the ship on a nearby island. As they landed they swiftly darted off-board the ship and repaired the broken ship and then everyone got back on board. As the captain readied the engine they set off with new islands to explore and a beautiful horizon ahead of them.
