Saffi's healing found little significant damage, aside from a bruise that was slowly forming on his back from the fall. Such injuries were quickly washed away as her healing magic washed over him.

"W-whoa-" Siglos said in surprise, a light blush appearing on his face as Saffi helped him get the dust off. Gently, he took a step back, bowing deeply.

T-thank you, Saffi! I-I didn't mean to worry you." Siglos said softly.

"You flew across the sky, did you not expect me to be at least somewhat anxious?" She responded, turning to Sylvia. "You couldn't wait one more minute? I mean, we're fighting against mystic armies, it's not like Alice would consider you a lost cause if you were to stop for breakfast. I doubt you had to throw two people across a city just to make it here in enough time." Unlike normally, Saffi seemed somewhat frustrated.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia shrugged, "If Siglos didn't want to be thrown he could've told me he didn't wanna be thrown! Besides, Cain enjoys being thrown, right?" Sylvia signed.

"Cain does not particularly enjoy or not enjoy being thrown." Cain signed, indifferent.

(Sorry, I have a life, unlike Azontr who transcended the concept of job and sleep).

(It's called summer break, bozo, get on your Louisiana grindset.)

an amorphous form of smoke and mist floated across the sky until it reached the group

Noah reformed from that cloud of mist and then stretched a bit.

"ahhh, I feel like I haven't slept like this in years, I'll have to thank Alice for that gift" Said Noah who had more energy than ever

"Hello, Noah. How was your night?" Jeanne asked.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos quickly shook his head.

"I-it's fine, really. I-I'm not that fragile..." Siglos said. He let out an embarrassed chuckle.

"I-I remember falling into a ravine once when my horse tripped on a tree branch. I'm....good at falling, I suppose." Siglos said.

 

[azontr]

"See? He's fine! Tough as nails!" Sylvia signed before moving to give Siglos a hardy pat on the back.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(It's called summer break, bozo, get on your Louisiana grindset.)

(i not have that concept now, I have transcended the concept, unfortunately)

"Hello, Noah. How was your night?" Jeanne asked

"Very well, I feel that I am ready for battle and much more" She said with a bright smile

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"See? He's fine! Tough as nails!" Sylvia signed before moving to give Siglos a hardy pat on the back.

Siglos stumbled forward, nearly falling over as Slyvia patted him.

"Y-yeah! I-I'm alright, really..." Siglos said. He flashed Saffi a small smile.

 

[KingEzran]

Siglos stumbled forward, nearly falling over as Slyvia patted him.

"Y-yeah! I-I'm alright, really..." Siglos said. He flashed Saffi a small smile.

"If you say so." Saffi responded.

 

[azontr]

From above the group, they could feel a torrent of wind begin to blow over them, as if something was descending, but it was still to far away in the sky to see...

 

[DaReaperMan]

"I'd say that's probably our ride." Khadgar said as Kargath raised his Bladefist as if on edge

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos grasped his hat, stopping it from being blown away as he glanced up into the sky.

"...Wind magic...?" Siglos murmured in confusion, unsure what would cause such a gale.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Siglos grasped his hat, stopping it from being blown away as he glanced up into the sky.

"...Wind magic...?" Siglos murmured in confusion, unsure what would cause such a gale.

"not exactly" said Noah with a smile

 

[KingEzran]

"I'd say that's probably our ride." Khadgar said as Kargath raised his Bladefist as if on edge

"But it's fair to say we should be ready if it's not." She noted, prepared to use her Mana if necessary.

 

[azontr]

From the air dropped what seemed to be a hanging ladder, from which Alice slid down, landing in front of the group.

"Don't worry, this is completely safe. I'm aware some of you can fly and some of you can't, so I've prepared air travel in case." Alice said.

"O-Oh..." Jeanne breathed out, relieved it wasn't an enemy.

 

[KingEzran]

She waited, giving others a chance to get on before she did. After all, in case there wasn't space or time, she was one of the ones capable of flight.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos took a step back, glancing at the ladder, before turning back to Alice.

"O-oh! T-thank you, Sir Alice. B-but you...didn't need to go through such...great expense for us..." Siglos said. He flashed her a soft smile, before bowing. He had been expecting horses, maybe a wagon or two...but not this.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"As a dragon, I usually fly by myself, but I'm curious to see the inside of this Air travel" Noah said

 

[azontr]

"You all have the choice to take the airship or not, but it'll most likely be going faster than you can individually fly regardless, and it'll be more comfortable than simply flying on your own." Alice said, "But, again, it is all up to your discretion. And I have no problem with providing transport." Alice said to Siglos.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"I see no reason not to accept." Khadgar said as he teleported on-board in a flash of light

"I'll just grab on. I won't fit very well." Kargath said, caring a little about the discomfort of others while Wrathion began going uo the ladder

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Noah teleported a few seconds after Khadgar to the top of the Airship, wanting to see a spectacular view

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"A-alright. T-thank you, Sir." Siglos said. Slowly, he walked towards the ladder, gripping it tightly.

"...I haven't traveled in one of these in more than a decade..." Siglos thought. He shivered, his body tensing slightly as he recalled the airships his family used to ride. In truth...he'd rather not touch another one of them. Memories of being thrown against the rails echoed in his mind from one...particularly nasty fight with his father. The blood slowly trailing down his head as he collapsed against the metal walls.

"...Just...keep going..." Siglos murmured to himself. Shaking his head, he began to scale the ladder, ignoring the slow panic that consumed his body with every step.

 

[azontr]

Cain just hopped on Sylvia's shoulders and the woman's wings began to flap as she floated into the air with Cain while Jeanne just climbed up the ladder.

"Oh, don't worry, you'll fit just fine." Alice said to Kargath as she began hopping up the ladder at alarming speeds.

(Full view of the ship for anybody who wants to see.)

 

[DaReaperMan]

Kargath grunted as he went all the way up the ladder in two bounds while the rest of my characters got up

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

(how is the interior?, to make an answer)

 

[azontr]

(how is the interior?, to make an answer)

(I'm waiting for everyone to actually get on before I start talking about the inside.)

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos reached the bottom floor of the airship, breathing heavily. Crawling onto the landing, he rolled onto his back, trying to catch his breath.

"....Breathe..." Siglos murmured. Slowly, he reached into his pouch, grabbing a small ring, a small diamond at its center. Riasing it to his mouth, he bit the gem, gripping the small jewel between his teeth. For a moment nothing happened, until air slowly began to pump from the enchanted gemstone, a soothing mix of oxygen and lavender scent filling his mouth and nose.

 

[azontr]

Sylvia and Cain got onto the ship as well, her wings ceasing their flapping as Jeanne arrived a few moments later.

"What's wrong?" Sylvia signed to Siglos, turning to him as she noticed his stress.

 

[DaReaperMan]

"Yes, what's wrong?" Khadgar asked

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"Can't your lungs handle this amount of air?" Noah said

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Sylvia and Cain got onto the ship as well, her wings ceasing their flapping as Jeanne arrived a few moments later.

"What's wrong?" Sylvia signed to Siglos, turning to him as she noticed his stress.

Siglos breathed out, putting the ring away from his face. Slowly, he stood up, flashing Slyvia a soft, yet weary, smile. He was tempted to feign being alright, but knew already that Slyvia wouldn't fall for it.

"...I-I've...just had some...bad experiences...with airships. I'll be fine..." Siglos said softly.

"Can't your lungs handle this amount of air?" Noah said

"...N-not used to...being so high up either...especially not...after climbing...so much" Siglos said tiredly, glancing at Noah. he brought the ring to his mouth again, gently inhaling the air it provided.

 

[azontr]

"Kay." Sylvia signed, "If you didn't want to climb I could've just flown you up, though."

Jeanne didn't seem much used to being this high up either, feeling immense pressure in her ears for a bit before just slouching against the wall of the ship.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

"oh, but calm down we're fine, I'm sure this baby is very good, also how likely is it to happen again?, If something happen, me or Sylvia can save you" Noah said to Siglos

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Kay." Sylvia signed, "If you didn't want to climb I could've just flown you up, though."

Jeanne didn't seem much used to being this high up either, feeling immense pressure in her ears for a bit before just slouching against the wall of the ship.

Siglos flashed her a weary smile, the ring still lingering near his mouth for air.

"I...I'll keep that in mind..." Siglos said softly.

"...A-as long as you don't throw me up next time..." Siglos said, letting out a soft chuckle.

"oh, but calm down we're fine, I'm sure this baby is very good, also how likely is it to happen again?, If something happen, me or Sylvia can save you" Noah said to Siglos

"....I...." Siglos stared at Noah for a few moments, before shaking his head.

"It's...it's not important. T-thanks, Noah. I...I appreciate you...looking out for me." Siglos said quietly.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Noah smiled before turning to look the inside of the ship.

 

[azontr]

Jeanne was slowly getting used to the air pressure on her ears, though the popping sound and the tension wasn't something she much enjoyed... She wondered when Saffi was going to come up, but for now, she was just glad someone was looking out for Siglos.

Siglos flashed her a weary smile, the ring still lingering near his mouth for air.

"I...I'll keep that in mind..." Siglos said softly.

"...A-as long as you don't throw me up next time..." Siglos said, letting out a soft chuckle.

"Oh, don't be silly! If I threw you your head would've hit the hull and I would've crushed your skull!" Sylvia signed, giving him a pat on the back once more with a smile as Cain just leaned back into Sylvia's tummy.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

"Oh, don't be silly! If I threw you your head would've hit the hull and I would've crushed your skull!" Sylvia signed, giving him a pat on the back once more with a smile as Cain just leaned back into Sylvia's tummy.

Siglos flinched, before slowly beginning to chuckle.

"Heh...I-I suppose so." Siglos murmured. He glanced up at Sylvia, returning her smile, before slowly standing to his feet, leaning against the wall for support.

 

[KingEzran]

Saffi eventually started coming up the ladder, and it wasn't long before she made it. She didn't want to bother Siglos, but kept an eye on him in case he got more anxious.

 

[azontr]

(Alright, now for description.)

The inside of the ship was rather large, with the height of the room the group was in itself being around 30-35 meters to accommodate for Orc or Rakshashin passengers, though it was more common for the Orcs to be the ones actually riding in an airship. The main room that the group was in had a multitude of windows that could be open and closed as to look at the view from the ship. The inside was mostly birch wood painted brown, but it seemed to be laced with some sort of magic, so it'd be harder to break than normal wood. If one wanted to explore, the ship had many facilities, which included bedrooms/bathrooms, kitchens, entertainment areas(basically places where people can play medieval air hockey lmao), and even miniature libraries and such, showing that the ship was indeed enormous. These various areas could only be accessed through various visible doorways, and as such, anybody who wasn't actively expanding some form of Extrasensory Perception or Enhanced Senses to see into the other rooms from the main room wouldn't know about the various facilities yet.

 

[KingEzran]

"Jeanne, may I speak to you?" Saffi asked, still looking around at the inside of the ship with divided attention.

 

[azontr]

"We'll be moving, now. Please enjoy your stay in our ship." Alice said, walking through one of the hallways, seemingly so she could go pilot the ship personally.

"Jeanne, may I speak to you?" Saffi asked, still looking around at the inside of the ship with divided attention.

"Of course, Saffi..." Jeanne said, able to now stand up, though the feeling of her ears popping due to the air pressure of the now moving airship was still making her visibly uncomfortable.

 

[The_man_with_the_Midas_touch]

Siglos breathed out, gingerly looking around the massive ship. He raised his ring to his mouth, inhaling slowly, before breathing out again.

"...I....I'm going to take a bath. S-see you guys later." Siglos murmured. Slowly, he moved off the wall, moving towards one of the bedrooms.
