5 Pirates
Dragon
Quickly now into the shadows,
We should not make a sound
The village swarms with people
Who guard their desert town
I know there hides a vessel
That can fly above the ground
They soon came upon mountains and abandoned the desert car to travel the rest of the way on foot. Dragon knew of ships that could fly through the sky and Dark Sarah agreed to stealing one but they had to get pass the guards first.
A village of tents greeted them along with fire pits and guards roaming about. Dark Sarah and Dragon snuck into a empty tent; inside were clothes worn by the pirates and they wasted no time in changing their clothes.
Dark Sarah
You think they saw us?
Dragon
No, but they will hear us if you keep on talking
A guard was passing by when Dark Sarah felt Dragon tackle her to the ground, covering her mouth to stifle her shout of shock. The guard was walking really close when he stopped and took a step into the tent; his gaze filtered over the clothes piled everywhere and cocked his head as if to hear anything.
Dark Sarah held her breath as Dragon pressed them into the shadows as the guard's boots came into view. A shiver of fear trickled through her body causing Dark Sarah to shiver until a shout was heard and the guard ran from the tent.
Dark Sarah
It is you who keeps on talking here...
Dragon
Grr...you can be so annoying...
A moment later it was clear as Dragon and Dark Sarah grabbed and put hooded long coats on, and pulled the hoods on as they slipped from the tent. The clothes helped them blend into the shadows as they snuck around.
"Do you think they've saw us?" Dark Sarah asked as they hid behind some crates.
"No;" answered Dragon as he looked around carefully and he added with a hiss between his teeth: "But they will hear us if you keep on talking!"
"It's you who keeps on talking;" sassed Dark Sarah as she stuck her tongue out in a silent raspberry.
"By the Gods;" said Dragon with a growl as he grabbed Dark Sarah and his face was a mere inch from hers, "you are so annoying!"
That shut up Dark Sarah and her blushing made Dragon smile as he distanced him-self from her.
Dark Sarah
Wait a while,
Someone's coming,
You think they've seen
Us here?
We're thieves in the desert of gods,
They're everywhere
Let's board the ship in darkness and hope that no one
Hears
Dark Sarah and Dragon snuck through the village; they found places to hide and avoid the patrolling guards. They also stole food and drink when they had the chance, and always kept watch for each other.
They managed to hide in another tent as another guard made his rounds; the tent held barrels of fresh water. The guard grabbed a ladle and got him-self a drink of water, he also used the ladle to pour water over his head with a sigh before continuing his patrol.
Dark Sarah
Towards the sky!
We're passing by!
This is not real,
This is surreal!
"Maybe we should find a place to hide and wait for night;" said Dark Sarah once they were clear, "we can steal a ship undercover of night and the servants of the Gods wouldn't notice until it was too late!"
"They'll be more alert by then;" said Dragon a bit annoyed. "Now come on, Sarah, while we still have the time!"
Dragon
Towards the sky this ship can fly
Dark Sarah
I did not believe
With Dragon leading they ran across the camp, keeping to the shadows, Dragon knew the way and uncovered a door on the ground between the tents. Dragon opened the door and jumped in; Dark Sarah followed but forgot to close the door behind her.
Five minutes later and three guards came upon the open door; one of them ran to alert their commanders and the other two jumped in.
Both
Sail ahead,
The winds are mild,
Oh fly oh fly the ark
Just might
Take us right to where there is light, take us, the stars
Our guide!
Dragon caught Dark Sarah and placed her on the landing; they took a set of stairs down that led to a tunnel lit by lanterns. The tunnel led deeper until it ended in a big hall filled with dozen of wooden airships in rows and tied with ropes.
Dark Sarah stood there amazed as Dragon left her side and began untying one of the ships. Dragon was feeling dark; his key was calling to him day by day, he knew that he will have to take it from Dark Sarah soon.
But are you willing to betray your Elinikä and lose the chance at true happiness; Dragon heard a mysterious voice whisper to him and caused him to hiss in frustration.
Dragon
This time it is not our fight...
Dark Sarah
...But no longer we can hide
But when, when is the right time to reveal his true intention?
Are you willing to turn your back on your Elinikä and lose your chance of being happy? Came the mysterious voice whispering again to Dragon.
Both
My mind's now playing tricks on me, I think we're
Not alone
There's an army of dead men near, their hearts are still
As stone
They're searching for something to release them from
Their loan
The silver key was apart of his talisman, the Timer Turner Watch, Dragon needed the key to turn back time to when he had his wings and he could only do it once.
But what is the point of having wings and being a God when you will commit the same sins; whispered the annoying voice once more, only this time there will be no geaes and no banishment!
"Shut up;" hissed Dragon quietly.
Dragon
It's the key...It's the key...it waits for me...
Sarah is the key; whispered the mysterious voice once more before falling silent.
Dark Sarah was coming to help and Dragon pushed his dark thoughts away; both boarded the ship without a word and prepared to sail.
Both
Sail ahead,
The winds are mild,
Oh fly oh fly the ark
Just might
Take us right to where there is light, take us, the stars
Our guide!
But their luck took a flip as the ghost guards appeared and they took a flying leap onto the airship with weapons drawn. Luckily the airship had weapons stocked on board; Dark Sarah and Dragon grabbed two swords each as the guards came at them.
They fought back to back; more guards entered the hall with war cries, trying to grab the rope and a few more boarded with weapons drawn. Dragon and Dark Sarah fought always keeping their backs together; Dragon tossed a few guards off and the others he killed, Dark Sarah managed to toss most of her opponents overboard but the rest kept coming and fell under her blades.
Dark Sarah
We're here to fight for our way!
Both
For our way through the Gates!
Ghosts
Death to the mortal!
Death to the mortal!!
Dragon
For all this time,
I will fight,
I will fight,
I will
Fight!
There was shouting from below: "A Mortal! A mortal in the Realm of the Gods!"
Dark Sarah knew she had been spotted and she prepared to fight; Dragon also prepared to fight more and smoke curled from his mouth as he was ready to burn his opponents. But luckily the ship began to lift and move; any guards hanging on the ropes soon fell.
Dark Sarah
For all these times we all should fight
We all should fight against the lie!
Both
For you I'll fight,
You saved my life!
Ghosts
We will Fight,
We will Fight!
Both
We'll make it right what changed our lives!
Ghosts
We will fight for what is right!
Once the airship had left the hall and flew from the mountain; Dragon and Dark Sarah watched the bodies of the guards turn into golden moths of light that flew away, and they knew that they were victorious. They had stolen an airship and were close to their goals; Dark Sarah tackled Dragon with a hug.
Dragon was surprised by the hug and was even more surprised by the kiss that followed. Dark Sarah was still smiling when she broke the kiss and left Dragon standing stunned.
Both
Sail ahead,
The winds are mild,
Oh fly oh fly the ark
Just might
Take us right to where there is light, take us, the stars
Our guide!
You say you want your wings and your place among the Gods back; the mysterious voice whispered to Dragon, But your body and heart say differently!
Dragon shook his head and cleared his throat as he went to steer the ship; but he could not shake the longing to hold Dark Sarah.
Both
For you I'll fight,
You saved my life!
Ghosts
"We will Fight,
We will Fight!"
Both
We'll make it right what changed our lives!
Ghosts
"We will fight for what is right!"
Dark Sarah stood at the bow of the ship with a smile on her lips and a blush on her cheeks; she was in love with Dragon. A part of her denies the feeling but it's there in her heart; Dragon was everything that Sarah's ex will never be.
Mysterious...
Dangerous...
Suave...
Dark...
Beautiful...
Dark Sarah giggled as she gazed at the sky as the airship sailed; Dragon was the man for her but confessing was another matter.

Sail ahead,
The winds are mild,
Oh fly oh fly the ark
