6 Sky Sailing

Dark Sarah 

The pale ghosts as our hosts are gone

And the journey's begun

To the sun!

We keep our thoughts in the clouds and fly

We made this right!

Dark Sarah skipped over the deck of the airship, humming a happy tune and a smile graced her face. The view of the land below was beautiful and the colors of the sky as the Sun began to set, and night began to fall was breathtaking.

Some exploring later and Dark Sarah found the sleeping quarters with workable baths; she wasted no time in undressing and washing the desert from her body. The water of the bath was hot enough to relax in a soak and the muscles of her body became unknotted, and for a moment; Dark Sarah just let her-self feel like a woman for once and not worry about the next day or facing Dragon.

Dragon

You will find it's a new day!

And You, you

Will find it's a new day!

Dragon kept the airship on course as he gazed upon the open sky in longing; the images of him-self flying in his true form and human form brought the ache on his back where his wings use to be. He misses his wings terribly, he misses the feel of the wind in flight and he misses his Godly Powers even more.

He anchored the wheel to keep the course; Dragon removed his top and sighed as the wind caressed his torso. He unconsciously licked his lips as he still felt Dark Sarah's lips on his; Dragon knew the kiss was done in spur of the moment after their escape with the ship.

And yet it made Dragon split in two; one half still wanted to go ahead with the plan and the other reminded that he was still under the geas. He took the Time Turner Watch out and gazed at his talisman with a sigh.

Both

The clouds move fast

We are sky sailing-

Our ship is flying like a storm!

Gods, look at our cast-

We are sky sailing-

The fury of the sky is born!

Dark Sarah came on deck after changing clothes, she even wore the necklace with the three keys and she felt excited. She was close to being made whole and she looked forward to being just Sarah with a bit more backbone.

When Dark Sarah saw Dragon shirtless; she stopped in awe and also shock when she saw the scars on his back. It was the first time she saw these burn scars and they decorated his back like spider webs from the two large scars at the shoulder blades down.

Dark Sarah and Dragon

The golden dunes look unreal from here

To the sky!

The treasure, the city of gods is there

Above the stars

And we've come afar

You will find it's a new day!

And you will find it's 

A new day!

Dragon turned to see Dark Sarah and he saw a couple of tears fall from her eyes; he realized that she saw his scarred back. Feeling slightly self-conscious and uncomfortable; Dragon pulled his shirt and became slightly gloomy.

The clouds move fast

We are sky sailing-

Our ship is flying like a storm!

Gods, look at our cast-

We are sky sailing-

The fury of the sky is born!

Dark Sarah noticed Dragon's mood and she asked hoping to divert his mind: "How long until we reach the City of the Gods?"

"Two days at least;" answered Dragon simply.

Later that night; Dark Sarah slept soundly but Dragon remained awake as he watched the woman next to him and once more, the temptation to steal the keys came over him. Dragon reached over and touched the three keys but in the last moment; he drew his hand away with a sigh as he went to sleep.

Dragon

So many-of my few smiles-begin with you

-you're one of a kind...

The next day; Dark Sarah learned to steer the airship and she learned quick. Dragon found him-self relaxing and took a moment to silently watched his companion.

He found him-self smiling more; he was finally home and Dark Sarah has helped in her own way. Dragon knew his life will never be the same as long as she was with him and that made him pause in thought.

Dark Sarah

...so many of my-few happy days-I've

Shared with you-I love how you're so...

Dark Sarah was having fun in keeping the airship on course and she loved feeling the wind blow through her hair. She looked over to Dragon and saw how deep in his thoughts he was; his long lapis lazuli hair danced in the wind around his face and shoulders.

His gold eyes had a glow about them though for a moment; they were pale and Dark Sarah found her-self smiling. Then she thought of her feelings for him and wondered how she was going to tell him.

Both

...dark-are our hearts-and who knows if

We have met-

There somewhere some other time when we were

Different in

-so many ways

As they continued sailing through the sky; Dragon and Dark Sarah were still lost in their thoughts on each other. Two souls drawn to each other wanting to be whole and yet neither could bring them-selves to being first in taking that step.

 

The clouds move fast

We are sky sailing-

Our ship is flying like a storm!

Gods, look at our cast-

We are sky sailing-

The fury of the sky is born!
