Note: This is the last time I'm doing that.
Landlubbers, always getting in the way.
Alice marveled at many things. She marveled at the wooden galleon, The
Lost. She marveled at the endless pit of the abyss. She marveled at much
more than that but If I were to mention them all you and I would be here
all day. Servan was commanding seagull officers and troll cabinboys. He
stood at the bow, staring out over the huge abyss.
"Its a dangerous place out there" He remarked to Alice " Storms powerful
enough to tear a ship in two, serpents of the likes you never seen, pirate
vessels who will plunder and kill mercilessly. It isn't for landlubbers,
even the most determined." Servan gave Alice a long stare. She stared straight
back, her green eyes harbouring fire.
"We'll see about that" She smiled. Servan chuckled.
"Aye, we will" Then the bird became serious "But it is a dangerous
place in here too, watch your back." Servan heartily laughed and strolled
off.
An hour or so later (It was impossible to tell since all the clocks
ran in incomprehensibly random ways) Alice and her freinds stood at the
pier with Servan. The pier spread out from the dock and wound itself round
the Lost's docking clamps with curling snakes.
"Is everyone bally well on board yet?" Knight inquired impatiently
of Servan. It was obvious the bird didn't approve of the Chess peice's
impatiencem but he was beaten to his reprimand by Cheshire.
"Patience is a virtue, Knight" The cat purred. Servan ruffled his feathers
indignantly but said nothing. They all looked down at the snakes as they
started to hiss. Bursts of sparks flew from their mouths and they unlatched
in the smoke. Immediatly the ship began to float down slowly. Servan, absolutely
calm called out to his crewmen.
"LAUNCH THE SAILS!!!!" He roared and the crew obeyed instantly, canvas
sails flew up the masts and unfolded. Blue and pink specks of willpower
light spread along it, the ship stabilised and floated.
"Lets get going" Servan commanded, walking briskly to the bow of the
ship. The ship shook and moved away from the mainland quickly. Before long
it was just a speck on the horizon.
In the busy engine rooms, some officers had hatched a neat little plan.
"Right, so we will wait until the cardguards attack, and then send
a few snapdragonflys to attack her. The guards will take advantage of her
distraction and-" The officer snapped his hand down on a buzzing gnat,
when he removed his hand the gnat was crushed. It spoke for himself.
Meanwhile, Gryphon had been looking around, scouting the area if you
will. He had seen a white speck on the horizon, he flew in and flew for
hours until he could make out a monstrous boat with a much feared sign
on it. The heart. He immediatly began flying back but, the inhabitants
of the boats had notice him. A red diamond wizzed passed him and he yelled
out to the nearby lost.
"HELP, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!!!!"
So, I will be doing the next chapter soon.
