Airship Adventure Part Two

Airship Adventure Part Two

 

Lorna looked around as she woke up from her deep sleep. Tom was already up and about. Great mounds of mud were surrounding them making up towers as tall broken-down factories. Beneath her feet were piles of musty leaf litter and rotting twigs.

In the distance, Tom could make out the faint sound of a rushing waterfall like waves crashing furiously against the sand back at home. Every now and then they would hear strange noises like wild animals emerging from their burrows or creepy crawlies climbing silently up Lorna’s sleeve.

The wind pierced their ears as it howled like a pack of hungry wolves.

The children’s pale faces soon grew scratched and wounded from the irritating and harmful bramble bushes. The sun was just rising when they heard something… like a king cobra approaching them….

Topthorn part 2

Amilia peered over the railings cautiously, Sam by her side. What they saw was heavenly, it was like a painting. They had landed on a tropical island! Lizards grey like the storm clouds above scuttled around on the deck knowing it was away from home.

Glittering sand had been thrown onto the ship when it crashed, shining white shells were scattered everywhere. They heard screeching parrots flocking in the sky, crabs made snipping noises on the side of the boat, slowly nibbling making a hole, narwhals were calling for their mates.

Captain Alice was in the jungle looking for supplies and the rest of the crew were with her; the children had volunteered to stay on the sky ship. But something spoiled the view. In front of them was…..  a great lumbering black rock! “D ddddd emon rock!” stuttered Amelia. They heard the cry of gunpowder dragons coming nearer and nearer! “Run!” cried Sam they ran along the beach through the bushes Amilia tripped, Sam tripped, a rope fastened around their ankles-they were hoisted up in the air! Everything went black….

 

Skyship Adventure Part 2

 

The ship plunged into the depths of the trees. It smashed through branch after branch, vine after vine, until finally it bombed into the ground, sending bamboo flying in every direction!  

  Pan plummeted to the ground, and landed jam-splat in the middle of the scene! But that didn’t stop her from rising to her feet shakily and hobbling off into the rainforest. ‘OZZY?’ she howled into the forest. ‘OZZY?’ After a few seconds, a muffled cry sounded from the bushes: ‘PAN? Is that you?’  

‘Yes!’ 

‘Where are you?’  

‘I’m over here, in this bamboo clump!’ Pan called into the forest. There was a rustle, then the sound of leaves crunching underfoot, then, Ozzy hopped into the bamboo. ‘OZZY! You’re alive!’ wailed Pan happily. 

‘Of course I am! You didn’t really think I was dead did you?’ said Ozzy. 

‘Yes! I did!’ exclaimed Pan! 

‘Well, have you seen the crew?’ asked Ozzy, looking around. But there was no sign of the crew. All Pan could see was the rainforest. ‘Let’s go and look, come on!’ squealed Ozzy excitedly, and began ploughing through the thick green hair of the jungle. Pan trotted obediently after her. As she walked, she began to appreciate the scene around her. This was a rainforest, and because she had been so busy and panicked when she had landed, she had not really noticed. All around, the beauty of nature was bringing the forest alive. To the left of her, two margay cubs were crouched in a massive tree together, one of them was plump, the other one skinny, they appeared to be siblings. To the right, a tiny rainbow spider, the size of Pan’s fingernail was doing what seemed to be a dance along a branch, it was very cute. She was amazed at the height of the trees that towered high above her head; they were far taller than the trees in the forest. She shuddered to imagine her two kittens trying to climb them after all, they loved climbing trees, especially Pixie. ‘AH! Quiet down will you?’ yelled Ozzy into the trees as a golden fluffy monkey swung through the trees, howling loudly! ‘I don’t think it will,’ began Pan, ‘after all, it’s a howler monkey, what do you expect?’ Ozzy shrugged, a defeated look creeping slowly across her face. Suddenly, Pan spun around, a glimmer of hope flickering inside her, as she heard the gentle: Splash, splish, splosh of…’THE SEA!’ wailed Ozzy in delight, flinging herself at the golden sand in front of the vast ocean. ‘My baby!’ she howled, scooping up a handful of water.  

   ‘I wouldn’t be delighted if I were you.’ came a voice from behind them. Pan and Ozzy leapt around, to see… nothing. All they could see was the trees, swaying gently in the breeze, and the golden monkey sitting in the tree calmly, his long silky tail dangling pathetically off the branch, his blue eyes wide. Ozzy looked at Pan, ‘Who said that?’ she demanded into the trees, ‘I am armed with a shell!’ she yelled, wielding a stripy shell above her head. Pan, however, had drawn her attention to the howler monkey, who was now hanging upside down from the branch, one curious sea-blue eyes staring right at her. Pan nudged Ozzy in the ribs, and gestured towards the monkey. ‘What?’ questioned Ozzy. But her question was answered when the monkey leapt round from the tree, opened his mouth, and said: ‘Hello!’ 

 

Ben and Dotty’s Skyship Adventure Part 2

Dotty strolled down to the water, noticing the sea – formed white horses galloping towards her, hurdling the waves. Dotty only had one wish: that this moment could last forever. Dotty glanced back at the sky ship, she was getting worried that the captain would be cross with them for leaving a huge hole in his deck, though Dotty was mostly happy, as the waves were crashing with the rocks, making a soothing sound. This was her place. Ben was still asleep in the ship, but Dotty didn’t care, as she was having peace and quite for once.

Dotty gazed up at the stars, it was sunset, the most peaceful setting you could ask for, well, the most peaceful setting Dotty could ask for. She gazed out across the ocean, noticing that the sea was glinting up at her, the moon was slipping tiredly down the sky. In the distance was a buoy, floating on the surface of the water, no boat was attached to it though; it was lonely, homeless, and friendless. She could smell the algae, forming over the pebbles on the beach. To one side, the swans were paddling their way across the a nearby lake. Dotty lay down, and pulled out her book, I have said this before, but this was Dotty’s place. Dotty then heard a noise, a shouting from the ship, it was Ben! She grabbed her book and sprinted as fast as she could to the sky ship, and when she got there, Ben exclaimed, “There is something other there, in that corner!”

Captain Benji and the Airship Part Two

The ship looped around in circles and began nosediving towards the dense thicket of tree roots, but Captain Benji dived at his leavers, squinting against the storm, and he landed on a leaver! There was a creaking sound, and the ship spun around, dragging itself back into the sky! It plummeted again, this time heading for a robust mountain, looming, ominously, over the forest.

The ship skidded to a stop, dilapidated, though not old. Felicity hopped, excitedly to the edge to peek out. She immediately slunk back into the shelter of the balloon, shaking. They were balanced precariously on a cliff edge! Felicity spread word about where they were, and the whole crew was struggling over the side like a bunch of old ladies to escape. Once they had all got out of the ship, Felicity took in the view.

The mountain was entirely coated in snow, like icing on a cake. High above the clouds, was the very point of the mountain.

The crew stepped out onto a mountain, surrounded by endless fog. High above the dark halo of mist, the very point of the mountain peered, cautiously above the clouds. As they stood in the fading twilight, the glittering snowdrops pranced and shimmered as the breeze rounded them into large heaps, like small silver fireflies. It felt mysterious as the grey moon gazed down at them, like a supernatural face, the glimmering flecks of snow pranced around the edges of the robust mountain, and the sturdy pine trees swayed, ominously in the subtle breeze, wafting gusts of wind at them. The wind sang, eerily to the mountain, and the silence grew closer. The remaining crew froze, as the wind sang, this time much louder. The children huddled together, as the wind swirled around them. They were the only survivors of the dragon attack, and they felt that the dragons’ dark magic still lingered on the skyship.

There was a small snap from the shadows, and they felt the hot breath of the animal, from all directions. . . .

Airship Adventure Part Two

 

Once the battle was over everyone gathered round to fix all the broken items.

As Alice and Freya sat down they got a waft of candy floss blowing right into their nostrils, and the shining moon was like a crystal, clear diamond. The taste of gloopy chocolate dived into their mouths like a rocket. As they walked off into their beds they dozed off into nap that looked like they were never going to wake up from. Captain Cordie heard a creak on board and looked round and saw…………

Part Two-The Desert

I could see a big moon looking at me in the shimmering sky light and like 20 cactuses. I couldn’t believe my EYES it was like I was in a different land. In the distance I could hear the sound of rattle snakes hissing around me.

I could smell the dust, it smelt like a shiver of darkness swoop in my face in a wink of a eye! Beside me I saw spots like chicken pox but it was not! Dear me no it was a spell! Just like that I was a sleep. In a deep sleep.

 

An Adventure

An Adventure

EPISODE 1

“Ok then Marley, let’s go and restore this crystal to the other end of the rainbow!” said Joe bravely. Then they set off. ”All engine fuel to the boosters!” With the steering and cooking skill which came from Marley, the engineering and building skill from Joe they were surely going to be fine in terms of food, technical problems and steering the ship. Or were they…

 

That’s where the real adventure begins. Soon they had been traveling for over five hours which meant they were nearly there! They only had five more hours to go. Marley called for Joe from the front deck where the steering wheel was. Joe wasn’t paying any attention because he was too busy double checking all of the gears and the engine. Soon the dark island emerged from below… But as soon as they entered the dark forest, the engine shut down, the power went out and they went crashing down, bits of the ship chipping away!

 

A few hours later Marley and Joe woke up from the painful descent to the ground. Marley picked up a piece of the ship and sighed. How would they get out of this situation?

EPISODE 2 AIRSHIP

That night, Joe and Marley collected all the materials so they could to set up camp, they went to sleep. The next morning they saw something that would change everything… for they had woken up to see a danger so terrifying it could change their entire future, for they saw in front of them, a gargantuan wall of darkness with tentacles leaking out of each corner appeared in front of Marley and Joe…

 

Over the lightning and thunder, Joe and Marley panicked. They sprinted into the deep, dark, dank forest… After a long, long time of running, Marley and Joe had finally out run the cursed darkness.  Joe thought and thought, their camp was lost they had no food and they had nowhere to sleep.  They will have to scavenge for berries and get water from the lakes, maybe even find a big tree for shelter and they will rest under there but they shall not sleep because, if evil doesn’t sleep neither should they “I guess you’re right, if this is what it takes to get to the end of the rainbow, then so be it.”

They heard a twig snap. They ran…

An Unknown Adventure (the whole story)

An Unknown Adventure

‘Are you sure we should be doing this’ asked Laya as she stroked her gingery cat Fiddles. Laya was an extremely kind and gullible girl who had dark blue eyes and short wavy black hair and she wasn’t too tall either, although she had an unusual gift for understanding animals. On the other hand, Zia was a brave and mischievous girl who didn’t like bugs or being told what to do, she was about just an inch taller than Laya and she had a black belt in karate. ‘I mean, we snuck out of school so you could put a bucket full of slime on Aunt Rosa’s door.’

 

‘We’ll be fine as long as we don’t get caught.’ replied Zia.

‘But what if we do get caught!

‘Look raining meatballs!’

‘Where?’

‘You’re so gullible.’ Said Zia in a highly amused tone.

‘I am-’

‘Oh no they’re coming after us we better run.’

Laya and Zia hurried into the nearest shop which was filled with strange and weird balloons. ‘Oo can we go in this one it has a door and windows and everything, it even looks like space!’ asked Laya excitedly.

‘Sure why not.’ Replied Zia. As they clambered into the hole that was supposedly the door.

‘Gjjsadwerukkudopavvsifell’ exclaimed the balloon.

All of a sudden there was a loud BANG and the balloon started to lift into the air and Fiddles gave a loud shriek but soon enough they were looking down onto the city and they could see everything.

The sisters could see their school the carnival games and their friends flat from here, they were even higher than some of the lower clouds from here.

 

A door in the compartment of the balloon-ship opened, in came a scruffy blonde woman, her eyes bulging with anger, surprise, and a kind of fiery mist. ‘Who are you and what are you doing here.’ Said the woman, her voice was cold and commanding.  ‘Oh well we um were hiding and this balloon seemed like a good spot and we um are now in this balloon-ship and we’re in the air now.’ Laya finished.

‘Well, you are now on this ship and there is no turning back now, my name is captain Mariana, and this ship is the Skyhope. Oh, so sorry I almost forgot, and what are your names?’

‘I’m Zia and this is Laya.’ Answered Zia before laya nudged her hard in the arm and added ‘And this is Fiddles.’

‘Well, I am-’ BANG! They were toppling downwards and hit the ground, bounced a bit and then all was still.  ‘What happened?! Asked laya as she picked up fiddles and getting to her feet.

‘Dragons.’ Replied captain Mariana simply. ‘They try to attack the ship but never really succeed to rip it since it’s coated with olive oil and their claws slip off so now, they just lean on the ship until we hit land or come near to water, and we always rise again.’ This was definitely true as they were slowly floating up and soon back in their previous position up in the sky. ‘You will not be trusted with a duty but will follow every command I tell you.’ Laya and zia were pleased to stay on the ship and not been thrown off, but no one knows what the future holds so they would have to wait and see.

Part Two

 

Creeeak! BOOM!

Zia rushed to the window and found herself looking out onto a haunted forest, leaking with ghosts when laya joined zia to escort her outside.

Outside they could hear terrified shrieks from the distance, tasting the bitter air, dry, cold and small, far far away there was a gleam of a chestnut tree the tiny etching of lavender strewn in the murky air.

At that moment, a plat of enchanted brambles grasped their legs, twirling past their ankles to their knees, like a snake, but then, most peculiarly, a blood coloured blackberry came from the bush of brambles and started to wrestle the brambles and very unusually the red blackberry was winning. Laya and Zia slowly backed away, minds set on getting to the great chestnut tree… the leaves of all the trees but the ones on the chestnut fell, laya jumped, fiddles also jumped, they were now racing to the chestnut tree, the only one with leaves, the wind was howling and everything went dark. Someone was coming…

All of a sudden the wind stopped and the leaves jumped back onto the trees, a light shone from the distance, as it got closer zia could make out that it was a torch light retained by captain Mariana. ‘The ship crashed into a tree but don’t worry, it will be fixed in the morning. Also you need to make dinner come on this way.’

‘Captain,’ ‘why did the storm stop when you came?’ asked Laya thoughtfully.

‘As you probably won’t know this is the forest of ember, and its only fear is light. Now, please come, there is a long night ahead.’

And with that fiddles leapt out of the tree she was hiding in and they followed Captain Mariana to the campsite, but halfway there fiddles heard a rustling in the bushes, there it was again. This time all three of them heard it. They were not alone…

The Twins Adventure

Amelia looked down at the Earth below her, just reminded that she has her brother Alex by her side. “Um Alex do you know where we are right now?” questioned Amelia while petting Lilly their pet boa. “I think we’re on the coast of California,”

answered Alex.

 

Amelia walked like a black bear with a sigh. Suddenly a meteor came tumbling down from the sky onto the ‘Celestial Sphere’. The twins came running down the sky ship with a horrified look on their faces.

 

Everyone got off Celestial Sphere, while waiting to get commands for what to do. They were scared that with Celestial Sphere crushed by a meteor they were stuck in some unknown place on Earth.

 

Part 2

 

“Alex you just said we are on the coast of California, just fifteen minutes ago…” sighed Amelia while kneeling on the sandy ground.

“Sir it looks like we have landed in a desert area,”

Amelia said while staring in mid-air. “We should get working on building a hut so we can stay warm for the night,” commanded the Captain while he sorted out the bits and pieces to fix the skyship.

 

The twins and one adult ran off to find slick pieces of wood for the huts while the Captain and two stayed behind to repair ‘Celestial. In the middle of the desert the twins found a Titanoboa (an extinct 40-foot long snake) the twins ran as quick as a hedgehog. Until rustle was heard in a distance…
