[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5019348, member: 60965"] Session 27, Part 4 <Note: Tough week - hanging drywall is harder than it looks. Hence the late, short post. On the plus side, I'll be posting again tomorrow, so posts two days in a row> Harold approached the fallen Skyland warily, expecting attack at any moment. Somehow, it seemed much larger for some reason lying in the sand than it did floating in the sky. “Looks bigger when you have something to compare it to, doesn't it?” Velea said, as if reading his mind. “It still seems half-a-dream that that is actually Felskein on the horizon back there.” “A year ago, I wouldn't have believed that islands can fly,” Harold said. She smiled and they continued their circuit around Skyland, circling to the side towards which the top had fallen. “The Sands bother me,” Velea said, glancing down at the lightly-snow-dusted sand. “Every once in a while, I feel the sand stir, like something is moving just beneath my feet.” Harold nodded. “I feel it too. Like the vision in the pool...” “Yes,” Velea said. “The Grimwythe. It lays trapped just beneath the Endless Sands. They say if you stand in one place too long, they can reach closer and closer to the surface, until finally they can reach you and pull you under.” Harold grunted and quickened his pace a bit. “There! We're in luck, looks like that's part of the Henge sticking out there,” Velea said, pointing to a dull blue gleam in the sand where the Skyland lay half-buried. “I'll go get the others, we can dig it out and be back on our way to the mainland within the hour!” *** They sat among the ruins of the monastery, everyone but Bail huddled deep into their cloaks against the cold. The speed of the Skyland only made the cutting wind worse. “I think I'm about to freeze to this rock I'm sitting on,” Kormak said, teeth chattering. “I came prepared for a fight, not a freezing cold night-long flight through the dark. I feel like we're flying through an empty void.” Only the faint purplish glow in the clouds over the Crystal Towers and the lights that Suniel had summoned provided any light at all. “Is it just me or is it moving faster than it did before?” Suniel said, glancing at Velea. The seeress nodded. “Aside from all the buildings being gone, some pieces broke off when it hit the Sands. They weren't large and if you hadn't lived pretty much your whole life on this Skyland, you probably wouldn't even notice. We also have a bit of a tailwind.” “Nice of that thing to give our Skyland back anyway,” Kormak said. “It already has flight innately, seems a bit unfair that it tried to take ours away.” “I have the feeling that it's not gone,” Harold said, staring up at the black sky. “Indeed,” Keeper said, walking away from the group and pointing to the sky. A blast of cold so intense it had to be magical shattered the construct, the swirling cold enveloping everyone else as they reached for their weapons. [/QUOTE]
