Chapter 4-The End Is Here

“Pump the BALLOON!”yelled Captain pepperman in fury.Men swarmed the inflatable like moth to a flame.Above, crew members tended to knots,oiled the wheel.Below,mechanics repaired engines,axels and much more while Huckleberry recovered in the ship’s ward.They were off.

Slowly, a hoard of phantom menaces eerily floated through the night like a sad ballon being abandoned.Thick robes woven with age plagued the area surrounding the Cornelius skyship.A raincloud of soul-stealers ascended towards Jason and the crew.This wasn’t going to be an easy fight.

They barraged the night sky;sucking happiness from everywhere they went.The monstrous figures flooded the deck.Cody threw a book,Jason swung a pole,Captain Pepperman even shot one,but their attacks passed through like air.can they kill them?Where they immortal?Every muscle in Jason’s body wondered this.Every muscle in Jason’s body wondered if he would survive.

Suddenly, a beam of blinding light emitting from a far below lighthouse caught a soul-stealer in its glare.Hideous screeching could be heard as the stalker smokes like a bonfire.It was burning alive like a witch on a burning stake.This was it.This was the weakness.As the idea clicked in Jason’s mind he grabbed every flashlight in sight to bring to the crows nest.FLASH!An artificial sun roasted the hoard like turkey on a thanksgiving feast;in a puff of smog the nightmare is over.

Clouds cleared,a bright,beautiful Sun climbs the sky and all that is left to wonder is whats next?

Chapter 2-A Threat is Near

All men were on deck,failing to succeed in any attempt to negate the winds wrath.The lightning struck like a whip as the thunder clapped.Jason tried to help his best but was to no avail.Rain and sleet pelted the propeller seeping into the wires ;crackles and pops ignited the axel.”I call for an emergency deflation,NOW!”screeched Captain pepperman.Men swarmed to the balloon like bees to honey.

 Suddenly,through the titanium sky,Jason saw a shadowy sihlouette of an exotic island onward.Trees danced for the storm,waves exploded like dynamite and boats drowned under the water.”Captain,theres an island ahead!”yelled Jason,Captain Pepperman magnified his attention to the land mass as did everyone else(except Cody who was cowering in his room).But to the unholy sight of a crashed ship everyone shuddered.

After what seemed ages-eventually the ship landed dropping like a feather.Everyone scattered leaping from the skyship incase of an implosion.Immediately,Jason raced towards the crash site searching every nook and cranny for evidence of the explorer.A note book,perfect!”Jason!Come back its not safe.” called the captain.He tripped and stumbled to give the diary to captain.

Now because of this vital evidence we can have a clue of the whereabouts of James.They will travel through the uncharted depths of the jungle to find the lost explorer.The best way to search is to split up into groups:North,South,East and West.

Every bone in Jason’s bod hurt,his muscles ached and he was littered with bruises.All of a sudden a twig snapped,birds flew and heavy footsteps surrounded them.Something was following them…

Prologue

Have you ever had family holidays on skyships?In the spring you might have flown over Lontown,soaring high above the pine forests and salty seas.When you flew,there would be pasty clouds,a beaming sun and the beautiful touch of freedom?When you flew,there would be islands and sail boats covered in vibrant paints, maybe even a school of tuna.You probably got taken to a nearby isle for a picnic.

But,travelling on expeditions to unknown islands is a whole new story.You should try a skyship adventure when the wind blows a gale,the clouds polluted with rain and the sky is fractured by jagged lightning.You should try being there when thunder dragons attack,booming roars and deadly fire read to burn the hull to a crisp,claws sinking into your skin or worse-tears the balloon to shreds.You should try being there when the rations deplete and not even a drop of water is left in the barrel.Even experienced flyers think twice before entering the tropics.No one knows what abominable creatures lurk in those jungles,rumour has it of Lizalfos,soul-stealers and titan-snakes.But worst of all the terra golem…most rumours are for good reason.

Chapter 1-The Quest Begins

A mix of gasps and cheers roared at the skyship Cornelius as she set off into the blue sky where the sun shone soft and gentle breezes like a warm blanket.The propeller buzzed like a fly as Captain Peppermen proudly gazed ahead,determined and fearless.They were off!

Cody and Jason stared down at the people below now the size of a grain of sand.Cody gripped the deck.The Cornellius flew onward through the clouds;crew member paced back and forth readjusting the ropes,measuring the rations,glancing at maps and blueprints.”We’re sure high up,pretty vulnerable to storms,”quivered Cody looking down at the trees that now look like grass,”I hope we find that lost explorer soon,I heard the news saying something about bad weather.”They advanced through the city reaching the the deep,dark ocean.

Jason grinned at the sight of the ocean finally meaning they made progress after months of preparing.He loves adventures but can’t seem to wait(he can’t seem to wait for anything) but now that they’ve reached the water they’re journey has officialy ‘began’.The clouds were as white as snow,the ocean like liquid crystals and the wind whistled through the air.”This search for James Huckleberry better be worth it,many explorers every year are lost because there too stupid to bring anyone else.”

Dear Captain Pepperman,

I am writing to apply for a place in your department on the skyship Cornelius for your latest adventure through the clouds.I am eager to bring new strengths to your reputation with my many skills.

Firstly,I have previous experience working on a skyship which includes:cook,minor mechanic and deckhand.My experience might also  give me a familiarity with the ship,s surroundings  allowing quick and easy manoeuvring throughout the ship.

Furthermore,I have completed my A levels (Airship levels) and GCSEs in mechanical engineering.I fell these qualifications will come of great use when I arrive on the Cornelius.

Finally, I can resolve any conflicts the crew might have making me a perfect arbitrator.This will boost the mood of your workers therefore making them more productive.

Please consider me for your crew and I hope to see you soon.

Yours sincerely Swayze.

The Explore’s Handbook

This handbook-which is in alphabetical order-is for all explores on magical quests in need of advice with equipment you should bring,dangers you should avoid and creatures you need to know.

A-D

Arcane lightning is the most awful spell yet the hardest to perform,if available use it to strike down mighty foes.Beware of bottomless pits  as they are commonly found in elite quests and oppose the challenger with a never ending torture.Centaurs are half-man half-horse;aid on the most strenuous journeys when help is needed.Dragons are most famous for their scorching,firey breath,BEWARE:dragons are very territorial and will always kill if you enter their lair.

E-H

Elves are two separate species (North Pole and forest) but share a lot in common especially

Kindness though if aggressive forest elves may attack with strong bows.Fairies are found near flower groves and have the amazing ability to heal wounds in a matter of seconds.Heart’s fire is a passion all warriors have and is essential for any explorer.

I-L

Ichor is rarely obtained as it is the blood of the gods and can be used as a symbol of power because only a god-killer could own such liquid.Jelly brains are telekinetic monsters that can fore-see the future and even predict others demise including its own.Knights are often found

On daring quests alongside their squires.Levitation spells can be used in many ways like:lifting a lever,floating platforms,etc.

M-P

Giant Mushrooms can potentially be very dangerous due to it being poisonous or fungal spore clouds.Nymphs are from Ancient Greece and are normally very playful but don’t get attached as they can die from broken hearts.Ogres giant brutes who live in swamps and use ear bursting roars to scare trespassers.Pixie dust is favoured by many for flight(including Santa)because of how easy it is to harvest from pixies.

Q-T

Qatupalk are found near oceans of frozen tundras and pull their prey into the icy depths.

 Rainbow fish look like glitter with their shiny,multi coloured scales but are the size of whales.

Shields are a key element of defence with their simple charm.Trolls are similar to trolls but are smaller and more advanced developing voodoo dolls.

U-X

Unicorn horns are widely used by wizards and witches for potions and brews because of their magical power.Voodoo dolls were originally used for healing but fell into the wrong hands.Wands are for those who don’t like staffs and instead like Harry Potter.

X Ray spells are often used by thieves to solve locks and see what they can steal.

Y-Z

Yetis are found on mountain peaks and are usually friendly.Zombies are infected by another zombie,spores or toxic chemicals that pollute the Earth,hopefully that won’t happen in the next 500 years.

Search for a sugary rainbow and climb atop,

walk along the dancing colours until you reach a pot of gold.

Give the leprechaun guarding the treasure all of the coins,

eat his four leaf clover absorbing its luck.

Loiter along the island until you find The Fields of Bliss.

Find the pink fox of hallow and pocket the knowledge it posseses,

ask for directions to the Wild Wood.

Once you find the emerald forest follow the dark whispers into the 

Sun’s shadow towards the shrivelled statue of lies.

Solve its crooked puzzle in return for phoenixs’ feathers.

Find the hole in the earth,free fall with wings of flame and land

in the god’s liquid gold,harvest the stardust of space.

Burn the celestial powder in the heat of the a thousand nebulas,

the explorer should materialise.

On the Island of Polar,

I witnessed seal-hunters gliding 

Through oceans of moonlight 

as still as writers’ block.

On the Island of Geo,

I saw frenzied fields of envious emeralds,

forcing light to dance like a ballerina.

On the Island of Tuhtan,

I heard weeds cry manically

Drowning in the dessert’s scorching heat. 

On the Island of Celeste,

I felt the Sun and Moon clash

endlessly on a sea of stardust 

as Chronos viewed from above.

On the Island of Apriprana,

I hear rampaging rivers roaring throughout 

The jagged jungle of the wild as leaves 

Whisper to lost explores.

What to do if you meet an alien

If you are encountering one of the green-beings then listen closely to these instructions.Now remember aliens can be very dangerous so don’t throw this guide book away because it might as well save your life one day from these mysterious creatures.

What you need to need to to do

First,identify it just to make sure its not a human or anything else.Doing this may involve looking for:

A)Advanced technology beyond our understanding.

B)Arthropod-like appearance,abundance of body parts and no resemblance to Earth’s species.

C)Communicating in clicks, strange languages,telepathy or doesn’t speak at all.

Next,do not ever use hand gestures;movements as the extraterrestrial may take it as an offence and harm you because might be very tense about whether this planet is safe or not.The best way to express your kindness is by:

• Use a peace offering as a gesture of harmony.
• Ask questions like ‘Are you meaning harm?’

Conclusion

The conclusion is that if you ever run into an alien follow this guide(don’t worry we’re experts)

How to know if you have been abducted

• Stitches on chest
• Memory gap
• Suction marks

Dear Mr Peculiar,

I am writing to persuade you to quit your duty as a superhero.

My first point is that you are preventing younger generations from taking responsibility for keeping the city safe from harm;even some heroes are letting you fight all the crime! I would also like to argue that due to these actions you are putting of heroes from battling evil and children are uninspired to try to become heroes.Plus,superheroes like Spiderman are not having the chance to do their duty so they return to common jobs such as retail because they are not being paid.Are you sure you can defeat all these villains?

Furthermore,since you were supposed to stop your career as a superhero when you became a pensioner(someone who is 67 years old or above), we are worried about your health as today you are 218 years of age and very brittle making it likely for you to bruise when receiving impact.To build this concern,because of how old you are we are anxious that you coil forget you time travel ability;this could lead to some unfortunate events such as:sending a red-haired girl to the dark times or transport people to America before it was colonised.

I would also like to mention that many of the villans today are younger and more spry than you making it easy for them to defeat you.Do you not think it is about time to retire.

Although some suggest you should keep going for a couple more years we believe you should retire not only for our health but for yours.

From the government.
