Into the storm

[As soon as the sun did not rise on the 1st, like others had suggested it would, Gan Ning wanted off Isla Empieza. He put out the call to his crew - get on the ship, leave no man behind. Or woman, Cynthia.

The storm hit while they were two days out from the island. It would take all hands on deck to keep the Nightfury from capsizing, good thing they have a couple of solid dragons to keep things in check. Just watch out for Gaius and his fiery pendant! By the time the storm blows out in the wee hours on the 4th, the charts put them drifting near to Eternal Bliss. Are the residents still pissed at pirates for what Kodachi did? Who cares, they need to land to make repairs. And maybe score some treasure, if anyone wants to go through the marriage requirement.

...A seagull. [Well then.] That's—interesting.

[Maybe it's like Potter and snakes. Perhaps there's a seagull language. Hm. ...Moving on!]

Constellations are patterns the stars make. They're supposed to look roughly like...whatever they're named. Draco looks like a dragon, for instance. Although...that's in my world. I forgot there are different stars here.

[He slows to a stop, letting the broom hover in midair and looking over his shoulder at Ariel. Who is very close. Her face is just right there, and Draco flushes again, before clearing his throat and slapping on a smirk.]

How fast? Hang on—

[And once again, he makes sure her grip is good and tight before leaning forward again and taking off. They shoot across the sky, the wind rushing past them, and Draco throws them into a couple barrel rolls, as well, just because they're fun.

After he levels off again, without slowing down, he shouts back at her:]

Still okay??

[Scuttle was for another time, as was Dragon Stars, though THAT was pretty cool. Draco means Dragon? But as he said to hang on she grinned at him, both arms holding on again she she let out a small Meep! As they moved, but again, once she relaxed into the speed she let her hold lighten a bit. Still holding on well enough for barrel rolls]

[Rolls that made yer actually whoop and laugh loudly through the sky. Without slowing he asked if it was okay? Okay!? Okay?]

It’s AMAZINGGGG!!! [She called back, giggling] Better than walking! Better than swimming!

[Lets out a laugh at that as he zooms along. Ohhh yeeeah, he knows, flying is one of the best things in the world.]

Glad to hear it!

[He does a big loop through the air and then throws them into a spiraling nosedive, heading straight for the water, only to pull up at the last second and jet through the spray again. Then he slows down again, just letting them skim gently across the water.]

One of the greatest sports in the world is played on broomstick. It's a shame we can't play it here.

[she couldn’t stop grinning, holding on and peeking out at the world, swirling around and fast. It had a different feel than swimming. Where on ground you can’t go up or down, in water you can float anywhere you want to. In the air there was the feeling that one could fly... or fall fall fall to the ground or water.]

[her feet pulled up a bit as he got close to the water, not wanting to get wet and slipping off because of a sudden fin.] Having a broom must be so very handy. You can go anywhere on this, couldn’t you! And games too? How do you play games in the sky?

[dragonbadfaith]

It's not the most convenient form of travel when you're going very far, we have other methods to get places faster, but technically you could go most anywhere.

[He pulls the broom back up but slows down a little, just gliding gently through the air now.]

Yes, games! The best is called Quidditch, you play mainly by passing a ball around and shooting it through hoops. But my position is known as a Seeker, and we have a different ball that we're to catch. It's worth many more points.
