The Griffin

 

They had heard a loud thud from the other side of the ship. Ava rushed over to discover what happened, but could not see anything but the lush emerald grass below. So where had that noise come from? She thought. THUMP! A creature had landed before, half lion half eagle, at first sight she knew what it was; a legendary griffin. But this one looked smaller than normal ones, maybe a baby? She twisted her body to call Finn but when she turned back it was gone.

Meanwhile, Finn had wandered into what used to be the captain`s cabin, abruptly he sensed he was not alone. Behind him stood the creature. He turned around shaking, “W-w-what do y-you want?” he asked anxiously, the animal squawked and started scuttling towards him. He tried to backed away but the wall of the cabin was behind him.

After spending five minutes frozen in terror, he realised that if it meant harm it would have done so ages ago. So, he took a deep breath in and crouched down. “Well your quite lovely aren`t you?” he stated imagining this was Apple their old dog they owned before Dad disappeared.” I`ll call you Gloria,” he announced. As this bond was forming, he found himself happily rubbing the griffin as his own pet.

“Finn!” Ava called as she burst the door open to find him and Gloria together.

“Ava!” He yelped happily, “Meet Gloria!”

“You named the griffin!? She asked. “I don`t think Captain Rusty would be happy with this,” Ava issued as she glared at the griffin with disgust.

The Black Pearl

Prologue

People say that a skyship is the best way to travel: clear skies, amazing view, and dazzling sunsets. That’s what the people of Berry Bay say it`s like at least. But most people forget about what happens when on a real adventure; when you must battle against the Great Griffins or the dangerous Sky Dragons that’s when you know it`s not just a tour, just like what happened on the way to The Indoor Isles.

 

Chapter 1

Lightning flashed, thunder boomed, and sky dragons swooped around The Black Pearl as it wondered through the air. Every minute or so lightning bounced off the balloon. “Hold on tight!” Captain Rusty yelled over the commotion to Ava. Ava is a 14-year-old whose parents recently disappeared and she is now on a great mission to find them. Her ginger hair was blowing about madly as she tumbled down to lower deck. Meanwhile, in his cabin her brainy brother Finn was rummaging through the library. “Get up here and help Finn,” Ava roared.

“I`ve got it,” he yelped excitedly, “The key for calming sky dragons is to play this sheet of music on a harp.”

“A harp? Where are we meant to get a harp from?” questioned Ava.

“I’ll check the cupboard,” Finn declared as he scuttled off. He was only 12 and didn`t take losing their parents easy. He also wasn`t a major fan of change, particularly the momentous change from having an ordinary routine like going to school to now living and working on a skyship.

Suddenly the ship jolted forwards, “The engines,” muttered the captain under his breath. As Finn came back empty-handed Ava sighed and shook her head. BANG! A lightning bolt had hit one of the main ropes, detaching it from the other ship, this was not good. They were now falling to the sea, only another 200m and SMACK! Each sibling looked at the other one. They knew what each other was thinking. After a small nod, they swung on the parachutes, Finn grabbed Dad`s old emergency bag and they jumped…

9 Things To Take On a Skship Adventure

 

I would take an everlasting banquet to feed hungry crewmates,

 

The skin of an acid dragon to camouflage me from dangerous predators,

 

I would take a magical scroll that can answer any question,

 

A size changing tarantula (as a companion) to scare unwelcome visitors away,

 

I would take a phoenix feather to heal any damage or wounds,

 

My trusty axe, as sharp as glass, to cut fire wood and to protect,

 

I would take glasses, which are made from eagle bone, that can see through solid objects,

 

A compass that not only shows north but reveals the location of a long-lost treasure map,

 

I would take a shield (made of a white elephants’ tusk) for protection.

The Poison Dragon

The poison dragon wakes,

After a long winters nap,

 

Beady black eyes flashed open like a searchlight of the police helicopter chasing a criminal,

 

Scales are a metallic purple like the velvet on St Edward’s Crown, but shimmering with gold and turquoise,

 

Her skin sweats highly poisonous acid oozing between scales like icing out of a piping bag,

 

Her teeth are all perfectly aligned with two daggers like fangs at the front injecting, oodles of venom with one single bite,

 

She is the in-between of

night and day or war and peace,

 

Her tail is like a whip,

with a dangerous arrowhead at the end,

 

 

She has a forked tongue,

Like a grass snake that hisses when threatened.

 

When fully stretched her long leathery wings let her glide through the wind,

 

A deafening noise is made as she sharpens her claws,

Like cutlery against china,

 

The Poison Dragon is now sleeping,

Peaceful as can be,

 

Let’s keep it that way now,

Untroubled and hushed….

You Are Cornwall

You are whooshing waves crashing against the rocky cliffs of Cornwall,

 

You are a miner, feeling the horrible, hot, humid, bad-tempered environment,

 

You are as recognisable as the bluebell; humility, constancy, gratitude and everlasting love,

 

You are the ongoing breeze blowing shivers around the hills,

 

You are December, as cold as the Northern Sea, with the constellation Orion shimmering on the silent waters,

 

You are the 422 miles of Cornish coastline overlooking the British Channel,

 

You are the memory of Bodmin Moor`s sunset dazzling the sky like a flaming fire in the west,

 

You are the liquid melting out of the inky black tin bearing ore,

 

You are Cornwall.

Chapter 4

As Captain Cullpepper barked her orders, the engines roared. Pier pulls in the anchor and Paige watches the steam rise.

 

Suddenly, one of the whales fluke hooked onto the anchor. This wasn’t noticed till it was on the ship. While the Captain tried to get that one space whale off,more tore through the clouds and fell down to the ship’s sole. Pier shouted” Captain, more of them are coming.” Slowly, ten more fell down to the floor.Their fins hit the side of the rose and made dents in the metal and wood.Paige felt the space whale’s smooth,slimy skin brush her shoulder.

As Paige wipes the green goop off her shoulder the captain and two other crew members get surrounded by five of the space whales. Terrified, Pier ran to the captain trying to lift one of them away from the circle.He saw one of the crew members’ trousers were covered in slime from the space whale. Paige heard a scream as another whale fell down.

 

It was Pier, one of their flukes, which is as sharp as broken glass, hit his right cheek. The scarlet jewel falls out of his pocket and into the sun. He tried to grab it again but it was already collecting heat and was too hot to hold. All of a sudden, it makes a wave of energy and the whales fall into the ocean.Quickly, the captain ran to the edge of the rose and watched them fall back down.

 

The sole had been ripped up and several people had been taken to hospital to bandage their arms or legs. Pier and Paige sat on their balcony watching the cyan sea and reading a book. Paige found a page that described the seven jewels when she noticed that the scarlet jewel was on there. 

“Pier look at this!”Paige told him. 

The seven jewels :the scarlet jewel (that is the least powerful), the pumpkin jewel, the dandelion jewel, jade jewel, arctic jewel, the lavender jewel and last but not least the lilac jewel -which is the most powerful jewel to exsit.Pier replied to Paige “That would be a fun adventure.”

Where will they go next?

Chapter 3

As Pier walked through the doors, Captain Culpepper was already barking her commands,” You there go collect clean water. And you find some actual food.”

She turned to Pier (who was still rubbing his eyes)and said “Boy stop standing around and go collect firewood”

 

Embarrassed, Pier stumbles out to the forest. His heart settled and he began scanning the floor for dry logs. Evanthough, he didn’t like going into the forest, he enjoyed being alone. Pier started to think about last night. Could Mr wigglesmith still be alive?

 

As he picked up the last piece of firewood, a thought bee, which was a blue and brown bee, landed on Piers’ shoulder. Pier heard a whisper, “Come with me- it is safe.”  Slowly, he followed the bee to a cave but it looked like a bee hive. 

 

Scared, Pier walked into the cave. Inside he found Paige sitting in a corner calmly eating. Paige slowly walked over.Quietly, the bee told them the space whales were coming. After that, they followed the bee to a scarlett jewel. Carefully, they took the jewel to the edge of the island to warn the others. 

 

“Captain we can not stay here any longer the space whales are coming!”Paige screamed. Quickly, they packed up and the engine roared to life.

 

But it was too late…
