Alex had managed to break free from the giant dragon thing, but he had little time to be relieved as the ship whined and shuddered, slanting downwards as air whipped past, with the vessel headed straight for the ground. Oh this was not good, this was not good at all. He could only assume that that had been the result of the dragon, which was very unfortunate. 

But there was no time to lament his own misfortune, and he quickly acted to save himself from a very painful death. His tome activated as he grabbed on to the sturdiest structure that he could find, hanging on for dear life as the ship neared the ground. Dear god, this was going to be painful. "How do I keep getting myself in these situations," he grumbled, knuckles clenched as he waited for the impact. This was going to suck.

A groan escaped as Alex began to stir back to wakefulness, his head throbbing in pain and the rest of his body hardly as well off. His eyes opened to reveal a blurry expanse, which slowly resolved in a dark cave of sorts, blocks present and water nearby, the debris from the airship scattered about all over the place. Naturally, the crash had done a number on the place. 

At the moment it looked like he was stuck, the metal having caved in in a fashion to hold him in place. He wasn't too damaged besides scrapes and bumps, but this was hardly the most adequate situation to be in. And he wasn't sure if he could use his tome for fear of dropping more debris on him, at least at the moment. 

"Wonderful," he groaned to himself as he tried to move, a bit more confident when it didn't bring anything down on him. Pausing for a moment he could swear he heard someone calling his name, a sign that other people had survived the crash. Good. Otherwise he would have been really worried. "Hey, anyone there!" he called aloud, knocking on the metal near his face a bit to try and draw attention. Here was hoping someone could help him before he needed to save himself. Again.
