After a couple of hours , the workers had re-appeared and sewn the skyship’s humongous balloon. They hovered in the sparkly night sky, with only the night as a map. Mia,who  had found a mini compartment for the baby goblin to lay in,was thinking about how the baby had been left in this deserted town. It had eaten loads and drifted into a deep sleep almost instantly.

 Dom stared into space on the deck,alone, wondering whether he would arrive home again. The stars cast a shimmer onto the ship and the moon was barely shining through. Mia finally came up to be with him. She thought that she would never get tired of the wind blowing on her and the massive skyship moving swiftly just below the silver-lined clouds.

 Within a nanosecond, they heard a screech. Something or someone was climbing up the skyship’s hull.Mia grabbed Dom’s hand and threw him on the floor.By themselves, they halted in their tracks. What could it be?  Dom,who held his breath, hoped it wasn’t the goblin’s mother- scorched with anger!

Glancing over the edge, Dom could make out a peculiar shape that appeared to be grabbing the wooden hull. Dom,who trembled ,  whispered to his sibling “I cannot see what it is… but it looks a little larger than normal. Come here and look- is that an eye?”

Captain R Pearce,who emerged behind them ,looked over the rails and laughed,

“That’s the landing ship’s light. It’s a tiny flying craft that sometimes we use if we don’t want to crash the whole ship. You two need to get in your beds before you start imagining other crazy stuff.”

 Half an hour later, they  both dreamt of goblins, skyships and crazy adventures. The Cloud-mist drove on swiftly through the night sky, towards the morning adventures.

Chapter 2

Dom stared in terror as the ground came closer and closer towards them. They were plummeting down to what looked like an abandoned, demolished town. Captain R Pearce fought with the steering wheel,trying his best to take back control from the Cloud-mist so that he could land safely at the town hall. By Dom’s side, Mia ran across the ship holding a silver hammer, trying to fend off a weird, maroon creature from the top of the balloon. Its gigantic emerald rings glistened through the fabric making an irreversible tear, like a bloody wound out of which spilled the grey air that had kept them in the sky. 

With a loud groan, the skyship jolted down, landing in a place called Treacherous town. Mia had finally been able to fend off the maroon Bigfoot and it had flown all the way back to the stormy clouds. Dom glanced over the side at the dark town that coated  the broken skyship. He saw three scary things: the wind blowing down the trees, howling in their ears, a mysterious shadow that was as dark as the midnight sky and a skeleton staring at them,with empty eyes.

Mia too gazed at the demolished town. Behind her were broken,marble buildings which were  probably magnificent once upon a time but now, they stood in sadness. In a dark courtyard, countless pillars appeared, wooden doorways stood half open and gigantic, sad windows looked down. In an empty hallway stood a decaying statue of some Greek forgotten god. On a field, there were multiple non-functioning water fountains. The whole place was frightfully silent and mostly empty as the sky storm drifted to the south. The night sun had already begun to cast awkward shadows and a freezing wind blew objects across the town.

Half an hour later, the siblings found themselves sitting in boredom by themselves as the others had already left in search of materials to mend the balloon, giving instructions that the children should NOT leave the ship. Dom and Mia sat on the deck, staring into the pitch black. A few glistening stars had appeared and the plain white moon shone brightly above them. Suddenly they heard a thud.

Chapter 3

Something was climbing up the side of the skyship’s wooden hull! Dom, whose face was as white as a ghost, crawled backwards and slipped into an empty compartment but Mia dashed to the edge and glanced into the darkness below. She could just make out a silhouette of something -or someone- crawling up the hull. It was quite miniature and had smoke-grey eyes. It halted and looked up at her. “It’s a baby goblin,” she called, “but it is  hurt.” 

Mia, whose brow frowned with focus, reached down to grab its spread hand and pulled it onto the deck. “It must’ve been hurt in the storm.”

The baby goblin was trembling with coldness and whimpering. Dom rushed to get the ship’s blanket, wondering if the goblin’s mother would be happy to know that they saved her child. Mia spoke calmly and softly to the baby hoping that Captain R Pearce would not shout at them for what they had done!

Come and journey to a location you have never been, where you can float swiftly through electric blue clouds. Remember how it feels to escape from all tricky responsibilities and boring, non-adventurous life. Embrace your inner child by looking down at all the tiny dots, who are walking in boredom.

I bet you have been on an exciting sky ship before across the world,adventures to see your homeland, knowing that once you have landed you will be able to relax from all the homework, normal day jobs and  mundane routines.

However, you should try a day trip where the freezing wind stabs your cheek as sharp and as cold as an icicle. When storms swarm like a flock of humming-birds around your transportation and a colourless cloud strikes their plan to tip the ship over, when the lightning gets brighter  by the second and the storm gets louder by the minute, that is when a sky ship adventure isn’t so fun…

And some say, they have seen a sky Bigfoot, hiding in plain sight waiting to ambush the sky ship. Also rumour has it that there are sky phoenixes that have crests as sharp as a shard of glass which can cut through a metal block. 

Chapter 1: The Torettoes

Dom Toretto clasped onto the steering wheel, his heart beating as fast as a train on a track. He gulped as hard as the stormy clouds swallowing the skyship. Opposite him, Mia Toretto (his younger sister)appeared composed,even though the skyship vibrated in the air. They had departed from Los Angeles and should’ve been over London by now but a storm shrieked and ruined their plans.

At that exact moment, a dishonourable sky bigfoot called Dante Reyes sneakily jumped on board. Rapidly, Mia and Dom turned around to see a maroon bigfoot with two emerald rings, three ruby red necklaces and a silk imported from Syria that wraps around his hairy body. Captain Roman Pearce jumped on the action and turned the ship around until Dante fell off.

Then the bigfoot fell out of sight. The storm grew larger by the minutes. As soon as Captain R Pearce saw it he shrieked, “GET READY FOR CRASH! TOO DANGEROUS!” 

Seconds later, the Cloud-mist descended beneath the slate grey clouds, the air spluttering out of the humongous balloon and the engine Seconds later, the Cloud-mist descended beneath the slate grey clouds, the air spluttering out of the humongous balloon and the engine jittering until it was silent. They went further down,getting pushed by the storm’s power. Mia and Dom strained their eyes in confusion, scanning the clouds for any signs of the gigantic, evil Bigfoot. Had they been able to avoid that wicked creature?
