The Star-Catcher Part 2

As they looked around, Scarlett and Robbie could see that they were on a deserted island with nothing but trees around them and an active volcano towering over their heads. The jungle smelt of mud, bog water, damp and disgusting mould. The two children could also smell rotten eggs and molten lava.

In the distance there were birds of paradise zig zagging in and out of the trees chirping as they go. The crew decided to follow the birds in hope of collecting wood to repair the skyship. Suddenly, Scarlett and Robbie noticed they were alone. They took this as a chance to explore together.

They found a clearing in the jungle and Scarlett and Robbie decided to make a fire to wait for the rest of the crew to come back. About twenty minutes later, they were both really tired after the day so they laid down to wait.

At that moment, something jolted them from their sleep. 

The Star-Catcher

Scarlet was sitting on the deck watching the storm get closer and closer through her binoscope. Robbie was quite calm about the storm because he thought they would be able to pass through it. But he knew had the most important job of all, making sure all of the gears were turning smoothly. 

By now the wind was howling, the clouds were blackening and rain was pouring down, like arrows shooting from the sky. Thunder boomed from above. Scarlet couldn’t see anything through her binoscope because there was a lot of dense fog. She was starting to get really worried because it was her job to make sure they were heading in the right direction.

Suddenly Sky Goblins flew out of the clouds, wielding bows, arrows and swords. They zoomed around the Star-Catcher, poking the balloon with their weapons, causing it to deflate. Captain Merry yelled into the mega-speaker, ”Get into your cabins, prepare to crash land!” with panic in her voice.

Abruptly the skyship jolted to a halt, everything rolled onto one side. Carefully, the crew members crawled out of the cabins and onto the sand. They looked around outside and saw that the skyship had shattered into pieces, except the cabins below. Had they managed to avoid the storm and the goblins?

The dragon

The eyes of amber 

Shattering rock at a glance

 

The star-like tail 

Swinging menacingly towards me

 

The four claws on each paw

Scratching the ground 

 

The black leather wings

Flapping and stretching

Feeling the need to fly

 

The spikes on its back

Tips dipped in blood

 

The cracked red throat skin

Worn and rough

Aged by its fights
