Don't know how long this ship has been at the back of the island, but it looks pretty old. And I'm not good with ships. Mari hopped onto the ship and started examining it. I hope this won't take long.
"This is a pretty old ship!", Mari shouted, "how well does it fair in battle!?"
"It's more for travel than for battling, but the wood and its equipments should protect you both"
"That explains it", Mari said from the edge of the ship, "Okay Tara, it's alright to board", she said waving her hand and then walked away.
"Be safe out there hornless child", the leader said.
"Thank you, oh and my name is Tara"
"The meaning of star, it's a good name"
"Heheh, thank you", I said blushing a little, "Goodbye", I said walking away smiling.
50 minutes later…
It didn't take Mari and I long to get to Cooper's Roost, but I diiid take sometime to get dress I wanted. The right size and the colors I wanted too. Now we just need to see Mr. Sanders.
"Tara did you get white for your dress?", Mari asked, "You know it's going to get dirty easily"
"*Knock knock* I know, but this and gold are my favorite colors", I said knocking on the door.
"Okkkaay, if you say-"
"Oh hello there young lady", said the chicken doctor, "Have you come to check on Mr. Sanders"
"Mmhm, how'd you know?"
"Just had a feeling ma'am, come on in, the chicken doctor said walking, "Mr. Sanders, you have some visitors", he said stopping by Mr. Sanders' bed.
"Oh, we meet again young one", Mr. Sanders said with a smile, "This time you brought a new friend"
Mari just smiled and waved lightly.
"How are you feeling sir?", I asked standing next to Mr. Sanders bed.
"Feeling better, but not good enough to leave just yet", Mr. Sanders said, "It's going to take a while before I head back to the Haunted Skyways"
"…!"
"Wait, you can go to the Haunted Skyways?!", Mari shouted, "How?!"
"Ma'am, voices down please", said a chicken nurse.
"Oh, sorry"
"With my badge, what you guys need one?"
"Yes", Mari and I both said.
"You can't get one of you aren't apart of the army", Mr. Sanders said, "However, I can let you borrow mine"
"Really, are you sure?", I asked.
"It's the least I can do for the one who helped save my life, but if you don't mind me asking, why do you want to go to those crazy skies?"
"Wwwweeee'rrreee….-
"Looking for someone", I quickly said, "Someone who has something they stole and we need it back"
"And you believe they might be hiding in that place?", Mr. Sanders asked.
"Yea, something right?", Mari said.
"Right then, seems reasonable"
Phew, that was a little too close. Before we left, Mari mentioned at the Haunted Skyways couldn't be too far. However, Mr. Sanders said it would take-
3 hours and 27 minutes later…
That…was a very long ride. Before we got here Mari was getting so bored of standing, she paused the ship and got a chair to sit in while she steered. As for me, I played and pet barracuda then took in the view of this place. Which was very, very big. Now that we're in the Haunted Skyways, I became worried. There was no sun in sight, the winds were filled was whispers and screams, and the air had a terrible and powerful energy that feels like it would last for an eternity. I did not like it.
"You alright Tara?", Mari asked walking down the stairs.
"Yea, it's just this place"
"I don't blame you, I feel nauseous just looking it", Mari said next to me, "So, how we gonna find Captain Blood in this mess of a place?"
"Hmmmm…I, may have a plan"
I pulled my sleeves open, showing the necklace on my arm and summoned Wind Speaker.
"Ah, hornless ones. We meet again", Wind Speaker said, "What is your command this time?"
"I need you to speak to the spirits here and see if they know where someone named Captain Blood is, please"
"Hmmmm, I'll see what I can do", Wind Speaker said looking to the sky.
The spirit summoned a staff and gripped both hands on it, now he's humming a song I think? Suddenly, some small lights show up in front of Wind Speaker. They were spirits. He asked asked them the whereabouts of our enemy, one by one they pointed towards something in the distance. Squinting my eyes, I think I see…an island.
"Mari-
"Alright on it, girl", Mari said walking up the stairs.
Mari began sailing to where the spirits pointed to. As she sailed, I saw a ship near by that was in the middle battle.
"Hey, isn't that our ship?!", I asked.
"Looks like it, but it's best that we don't engage in battle!", Mari suggested while sailing in skyway lane, "Remember what the village leader said about this ship!"
Right. As much as I hate to do nothing, I much have faith in all of them and their abilities. Just like Kobe said. I turned away and looks toward the island, which looks like a…big house? Wait…no, iiit's a church. An old and broken down one at that.
"A church? Why would he be here?", Mari asked after stopping the ship by the island.
"I don't know, but we better be careful here"
"Agreed", Wind Speaker said, "I sense a lot of undead in that building"
"Okay, but don't leave just yet", I said, "We're going to need you if we're outnumbered"
"I would be honored"
