Lucia's Point of View
Outskirts of the Magical Squall
Arthur stood at the front of the airship as the storm approached. Many of us watched and waited for the signal. We'd been instructed to make sure we held on to something with magic or something else. I had the Vithari Queen in my magical grip while Ziah and Alwin were with the two boys. Elves stood at the ready for the Captain's signal.
Everyone on deck watched as Arthur slowly moved off the front of the ship and floated out just slightly above it. He moved away slightly before he seemed to focus, and we felt the airship shift beneath our feet. Arthur then looked to the Captain before giving him a nod.
"Cut the magic generators and hold on!" Captain Adam bellowed.
It was slow at first, but Arthur flew off, and we were dragged behind him just as he said. The whipping of the winds and cracks of lightning increased as we got closer. Rain began to pour down on us for a moment before the barriers were erected. Rain, wind, lightning, and other weather was kept at bay while we were safe inside. All of us, but one.
Our speed began to increase rapidly as we shot into the storm. Many held onto the railings, walls, ropes, masts, or anything that was within reach. The ship launched forward even faster as it followed behind Arthur. It almost felt like we were on a violent river with the course already set but invisible to us. Invisible to everyone except Arthur.
"Brace yourselves!" The Captain called out again as lightning started to strike the shield.
That was, until my eyes flickered to his sword. "What do you think is happening?" I asked the Captain.
He leaned over to me. "There's something out there."
"What do you mean something is out there?" Alwin questioned. "Nothing could survive in this storm."
"We did." Sergeant Allen replied before looking back out the barrier. "But this is the first time I've seen the General wary. Something is hiding in this storm, and I have no idea what it is."
"Maybe some Skelds made their way to the center of the storm as well?" Ziah offered as she comforted the boys.
I shook my head. "Doubtful. I have a feeling Sir Arthur would have cut them down before stopping, and the stop itself was urgent. If 'something' is out there, then it is something that is far more dangerous than regular Demons." My statement was met with nervousness as all our eyes focused on Arthur.
Arthur's Point of View
Outskirts of the Magical Squall
My entire field of vision was filled with red and black. From the ocean below to the clouds above, everything was covered in demonic magic.
"Fuck..."
