Chapter 3
As Penny stretched out of bed she realised the ship was empty. There was a letter on the dining room table that read, “Dear Penny, myself and Jake have gone hunting for food and water. Also, can you go searching for firewood? It is freezing. Yours Dearest Captain.”
Quickly she jumped in the shower and got dressed and set off to the nearest forest and started to chop up small logs.

As she was awkwardly trying to figure out how to grip the axe, she heard the stomp and growls of a massive creature. Penny looked up to massive, yellow and disgusting teeth on a black fury face. In that moment she realised it was the creature from last night.
“Wait, I want to help you, you are in terrible danger.” The monster spoke in a deep voice.
“Y…You can talk, h…how,” Penny said, shivering in fear.
“It doesn’t matter, you must follow me,” the creature said a bit softer.

Penny decided to follow it since she was bored and was still trying to make out what it was. Finally, they reached a sort of cave looking thing, they stepped inside but the first thing that caught her eye was Jake and the Captain sitting in a corner. She sprinted towards them smiling with relief. As she ran over Jake shouted “they gave me this ice crystal and told us this was the only way we could defeat the half fire half man dragon that is going to attack,” he finished gasping for air.

They got up and sprinted back to the ship but as they ran Jake slipped and dislocated his ankle. Fortunately, the captain went to med school for a year and quickly snapped his ankle back into place.The captain and Penny had to carry him all the way back the the ship.

As they ran through the ships’ door the captain screamed at the top of his lungs “Start the ship there’s danger coming and we need medical attention immediately. The engines roared as they lifted into the sky.

But it was too late!

Chapter 2 

Over the next couple of days, the Kraken drifted along the hailing sky. It had started to ruin the view from the window. One week later, they woke up to find the sunshine had taken over. Jake, Penny and the Captain scurried over to the window to find a cloud of fog but as they got closer, the fog revealed Dinohill island. They noticed a hill full of dinosaurs and dragons.

“That’s how it got its name,” Jake said while eating a croissant. 

As they were gliding in the cool air, they noticed something. They grabbed their binoculars to try and see what it was. “It looks like it’s in a ditch,” Captain Krakray said, not sure if it was true.

“I know why don’t we go on an adventure to get a closer look,” suggested Jake.

“Agreed,” everyone said at the same time.

Without thinking they started to bring the ship to the ground.

They landed with a SMACK! Penny said with lots of relief, “We are finally here.”

“Yes let’s go and find the reckage i’m well excited.” Jake said, jumping up and down in excitement.

They stepped off the ship without checking for danger -which is the number 1 rule when on an adventure- curiosity had taken over.

As they were journeying towards to reckage, they could feel the: soggy sand in between their toes; they could feel the freezing sea brushing up against their feet; the sea crushing up against the rocks; and they could hear thunder as a storm came chasing them as if they were playing tag. They could just about see the reckage in the distance.

Finally, they made it to the reckage after about an hour of walking. “Isn’t that professor JD’s ship?” Penny said curiously 

“He’s Been missing for months, it can’t be,” Captain Krakray said as he was opening the door to the ship. They walked in to find dead bodies scattered like a chess board. Captain Krakray walked up to one wearing JD’s jacket. It was JD! In one of his hands he was clutching the map. Krakray reached to grab it. He told the crew that he had found it and they set off.

Since it  was pitch black they set up a camp. As the fire was burning Jake and Penny noticed a dark figure with glowing red eyes reflecting the fire. Because everyone was asleep they couldn’t get help. They signalled to each other to go and search and see what it was. As they crept closer they saw it. It was…

Prologue

You’ve probably had an amazing adventure on a skyship. In summer, you would have flown over the town, airborne above the clouds, which are as squishy as a marshmallow, and high above the highway smiling because you’re not in traffic. When you flew, there would have been road rage down below, children playing in the park and children screaming in excitement as they leave school. You probably got taken to one of the rivers or stopped at a nearby 

Mcdonalds.

But travelling on expeditions to undisclosed land can be very dangerous. You should try an adventure as the wind blows at a cool breeze, the thunder rumbles warning you for a strike of lighting, shattering the sky into two. You should try being there when the wifi goes out, or sky bragongs nest on the ship ( be quiet if you turn them the’ll rip your head off ). Few people would wish this on anyone even experienced dragon slays and flyers think twice about this adventure. I don’t blame them. No one knows what creature habit this island. Rumours have it dinosaurs still exist on this island.

Chapter 1

The crowd gasped in excitement  as skyship Kraken arose into the air, floating as still as the sun in the sky. The engine roared! Captain Krakray spoke to the speaker, “ Attempt 1 on take off with skyship Kraken.”  The engine roared as loud as a tiger. Everyone screamed in  joy. They were off! 

Jake and Penny glanced down as the skyship was ascending and from far up. Far down, the top of trees looked like green skittles and the crowd cheering looked like fuzzy dots from a malfunctioning tv. They flew over fields and forests, houses and factories. They only knew because the factory’s machines were  moving. 

Regretting their whole lifes decisions penny graded onto railing overthink everything. Jake walked up smiling with joy and said Penny, “ Are you ok Penny you look scared,” asked jake.

Penny replied with “ no im not ok what if the engine fails mid air, or we crash, or we get sucked into a black hole!”

“ You’re overthinking everything again just like you always do,” Jake announced.

“You’re right,” Penny said, starting to calm down.

Within about half an hour, the Kraken was hovering above the forest. Jake looked down and could see grey dots which looked like birds, poachers looking around for any exotic animals and trees which were as small as cut up broccoli on a plate. Penny laughed, “It’s Nearly smaller than you Jake,” she said while smiling.

“You’re shorter than me,” Jake replied, clenching his fists.

That evening, the sun got replaced with hail crashing down causing the birds to fall to the ground in a cluster. The moon like a spotlight shone down at the skyship allowing them to see the monkeys swing from tree to tree. Also, revealing grass as green as a lime.

Dear Captain Culpepper,

                                                I am writing to you today to request your permission to join the Skyship Aurora. I hope you have an open position for a young but an experienced, well mannered and talented boy such as myself. I will help improve the Skyship in multiple ways.

Firstly, I would like to explain how very skilled I am as a chef. I have been marked as MCOY ( Master Chef of the Year ), 10 years in a row. As a result, I can take over if the original chef is sick. Also, after you have fought the evil in space, I can make meals so you can get your energy back.

Secondly, I am a highly accomplished martial artist. I have passed my SFT’s ( Safety Fighting Test’s ). Only one in a Billion have passed these tests ; this means I can help protect us from danger.

Furthermore, I would also like to note I am highly skilled at engineering ; as a result of this I can help repair the ship if it gets damaged. Also, I can build robots, which I can program to help in battle. This would be useful by allowing the crew to have extra help in battle.

I appreciate that you have taken time out of your day to read this letter. Please consider hiring me on your skyship. I am a fantastic chef, who is an amazing fighter and a highly skilled engineer.

Yours Sincerely,

Warren Arnold.

Advice for an Explorer

Have you ever desired a journey around the world and more? If so, read on to collect more advice. It is important to know what dangers you may come across on your quest.

As you are travelling through the majestic mythical forest, never pick up a lonely axe. It is not what you think it is spiders sleeping, waiting to be found. Binoculars, which are an essential on a journey, are great for spotting danger miles away. Make sure when the sun goes to sleep, you have a crossbow as they are the only weapon that scares away predators.

When you are walking through hell gate watch out for deadly monsters : death-bringer- which can kill you in under a second- hiding on the fire; fiery dragon, which can give you an early cremation, ; and horned-horses (that are as red as a tomato) will impale you with their horns. Never, go searching in hell gate without protection.

When entering the iceylands make sure you worship the sun; as it will instantly give you no heat and leave you to freeze.

If you get lost try and find a leaf-maker and chop a hole in it  and there should be a flare gun; someone should send help.

Therefore, now you know how to be safe when exploring. So if you would like to go on an adventure; good luck and be careful. Again make sure you are carrying your essentials like your axe; healing potion; and ext
