The Golden Stargazer 

Chapter 1 

“Hold on tight!” Sam screamed as the Golden Stargrazer tilted to one side. The airship jolted as Violet help on for dear life! They had left the country side about a week ago to discover a magical, mythical land called ‘ Pixie Lowlands’, that was only mentioned in fairy tales. Violet believed in magic while Sam didn’t, so she was determined to convince her brother that magic was real. At last, the Stargrazer soared gently as Violet gazed into the telesopian for anything unusual. 

A moment later, there was peace. Sam controlled the Stargrazer like a pro. Suddenly, a storm cloud, that was bigger than the airship, swallowed the Golden Stargazer as if it were a meal. “ Sam” Violet yelled. Her face turned paler than a ghost as she spotted a DRAGON! It’s metallic scales glistened, as the wings elongated like the sails of the Titanic, and it was flying their way! “Watch out!” Sam shrieked. “We are doomed Sam!” Violet cried as lightning crackled like electricity. Without saying a word, Sam steered the airship faster and faster as the dragon, which was quicker than tornado , clawed the balloon. Suddenly, the demonic beast disappeared leaving behind two petrified people who seemed to be relieved, that the beast had left the Stargazer in one piece. 

Chapter 2 

A minute later, a ‘psssh’ sound surrounded the sky ship; Violet noticed it first. “ S… S-am..?” Violet stuttered. “ Violet , is everything okay ?” Sam asked as he steered the wooden tiller. “ There is a tear in the balloon!” yelled Violet. Suddenly, the sky ship began to rock violently as it got harder and harder to control. Sam stared in horror as Violet valiantly grabbed a rope ready to climb. “ No don’t, you can’t fix it!” Sam cried as wrestling with the tiller in a vain attempt to bring the craft under control. The air seeped out, as Sam battled to steer the Stargazer towards an island, which looked like a destroyed City.  

In an instant, the Golden Stargrazer buffeted and bounced making it harder to control. Sam gawped in horror as the sky ship rushed closer to the dust, sandy Island. BOOM! The Stargazer stabbed the ground with a massive THUD! A while later, Sam and Violet got themselves together.  

They stared through the railings of the destroyed sky ship. “ Looks like its not just sand!” exclaimed Violet as she gazed in awe. All around, coconut trees danced, against the rubble of stone buildings. Status of sliver stood strong as the bitter wind blew gently towards them. At the far end of the island, a wooden structure was there, a house of some sorts but everything around it was crooked, misshapen and broken. As the sun got sleepy, stars shone like diamonds in the black velvet sky as the iridescent moon, which was like a giant pearl, bathed the land in a milky glow, It cast a different light over the island, whilst on the surface it was beautiful, and unfamiliar. 

Sam and Violet huddled together, still trembling . The impending darkness filled them with dread and fear. Just then , a swift movement caught their attention… 

I would take a jam jar containing a moonstone to control the moon’s silver glare.
I would take a cobalt quill, lined with pixie dust to summon ruins that grant knowledge when used.
I would take a cloak of silky satin, that let’s you soar unnoticed.
I would take a mesmerising shell, provided from Atlantis that full-fills watery wishes.
I would take a magical stick, that would lead me to the safest routes.
I would take an enchanted compass, that will keep me away from danger.
I would take a golden bead, which when thrown flames will sprout from the ground.
I would take a book filled with prophecies mad myths.
I would take a shiny cloth, cast in diamonds that will protect me at night.
I would take a pearly white bowl, to shower me with goods till my heart content.

Peering out of the rusted lair, the demonic dragon sneered into the great abyss.

Its eyes were like a black pearl revealing the beast’s merciless glare.

His serrated claws screeched and squealed against the rocks and pebbles like nails on a chalk board.

He opened his menacing jaw, revealing his teeth like daggers congealed with blood.

The nostrils were consumed with fire like the depths of hell.

The dragon’s metallic scales glistened in the sliver beams as he looked for his unfortunate victim.

Wings elongated like the sails of The Titanic rippling in the wind.

Suddenly, the beast took flight leaving behind a lifeless prey lying in a puddle of blood.

You are the happiness of a Saturday’s expectation, swirling around in my mind on a Monday morning.

You are the sunset, shinning over the horizon as the lake transform into a pure gold.

You are August, lying in the crispy autumn leaves watching the waves crashing against the towering rocks.

You are a dancing poppy, twirling in the summer’s breeze as the wind claps in applause.

You are winter, banishing the autumn breeze and throttling the barren trees.

You are a dinosaurs’ skeleton , exhumed from extinction.

You are a strawberry tart, hugged by a ring of pastry.

You are an earthquake, consuming the life of others.

You are the victim of a bully’s evil menacing sneer.

You are a tsunami, washing the sins of the world.

You are the wonderful end.
