As he darted towards me he stuck out his lance. I swung my sword and hit up but he hit the back of my legs with the other side. I fell and rolled over. I jumped and threw two shurikens on missed and flew off the ship while the other scratched the side of his armor. He looked and jumped into the air. It was hard to see as the sun was shining in my eyes. To counter this I cast smoke but the movement of the ship blew it off course. In a panic I cast image. Then he hit the ground where I was. As he looked at me the quickly swung his lance round and lunged at me. I hit the lance and swung and hit his hand, forcing him to drop his lance. He jumped again but I wasn't worried because he didn't have his lance, but when he hit me I hit the ground hard. He put the lance to my neck when a cannonball hit the side.

"GIVE BACK MY AIRSHIP!!" shouted the old man.

In the distraction I hit the dragoon on the head knocking him out.

"COME GET IT" I shouted back.

I ran to the front of the ship and gave it all it had. but his ship was much more improved. Nothing was working so just off a castle I ran to the edge and was about to jump into a lake between the mountains when I looked at the knocked out dragoon. I hesitated but then ran and picked him up. He weighed a ton but I managed to get to the side and jumped off with him.

We hit the water hard I dragged him to the surface and looked at the airship crash into the mountains. Then we where caught in a current dragging us towards a waterfall. I couldn't swim fast enough with the dragoon on my back. We fell down the waterfall and hit the water hard again. My arm and ribs where killing me. We where pushed down the river and we hit the forest. I pulled myself and the dragoon out and dragged him toward the town. As we where just inside the town's border I collapsed.

I woke up without a scratch I was in a daze though. I looked over at the dragoon and he was sat on a wooden stool in the corner.

"Awake are you?" he asked

"Yea I got a killer headache though" I replied.

"You didn't have to save me back there you know." He said

"… my names Avion."

"I don't know mine." I said kind of down.

"why"

"I don't know, I can't remember what happened." I replied.

"poor soul right lets see where we are." He proposed.

"right".



As we exited the inn we found that we where in a castle. The candle lights where flickering against the walls. When my sword felt heavy then they where forced out of my hands onto the floor. I couldn't pick them up. I looked at Avion and he was stuck to the floor.

"My … my armor it's stuck" he whispered.

"Right ill get some cloth armor for you." I chuckled.

I ran back into the inn and grabbed some cloth armor. I threw it on top his hand. He managed to get out of his armor and put the cloth ones on. We ran down a corridor to speak to the king but there was just a crystal room. Then a creature entered. It was elf shaped and grey it had white hair and long arms.

"Get out of my way" the creature said

"Who are you" yelled Avion

"it's no concern for you as you'll be dead soon."
