[center][h3]Arno Arrotyr[/h3][/center] Arno woke on the lopsided deck, dazed. He inhaled, but his lungs only took in a small amount of oxygen. He tried again but still, the air was too thin. The pilot ripped off his oxygen mask and gasped, his lungs filling with cool, crisp air. He took a moment for have a few, pleasant breaths, then he took in his surroundings. Lots of trees. Well at least they weren't surrounded by concrete. He went over what happened. He took off, successfully distracted the beast, landed on the airship he was on now, then the beast hit them and he had to essentially glide his way to another island. This island, presumably. He slowly got up, wincing. He looked over himself, there wasn't any blood, he nothing felt broken, he wasn't nauseous, he played with some of the buckles on his flight suit. No loss of coordination. He remembered that once the airship touched down, the impact sent the small Harvin flying. He must have hit something, then got knocked out. He patted at himself, just to be sure, and felt a few bruises. A mild headache. That's about it. Arno counted himself as incredibly lucky, getting out of an emergency landing like that with only some bruises and a headache. He took off his goggles, resting them on his forehead and he wiped his eyes. He felt someone pat his shoulder. [b]"Y-Ya did...d-did real good..."[/b] He heard. Arno turned to the Erune woman and saw her get paler, then she turned and vomited into her helmet. Arno let out an audible chuckle. [b]"At least it wasn't during the crash."[/b] He replied, he slowly, and painfully got up to his feet, sore. He looked around, seeing some of the others already up. [b]"Hey, are you two alright?! Is anyone hurt? What the heck happened here?"[/b] Arno looked over at the new voice, seeing a white haired Erune boy. A native, Arno guessed. [b]"One of the engines got busted, had to make an emergency landing."[/b] Arno replied, leaving out some fairly important details, but the newcomer didn't need to know that right now. [b]"Excuse me, have to check on something."[/b] Arno said, he stepped past the newcomer out onto the deck and walked over to his own airship, the Akula. It had slid over, now braced against the side of the airship it was landed on, but it was still on it's landing gear. He touched it's chassis and smiled, looking it over. Aside from a few scuffs and scrapes, she was fine. [b]"Thanks girl."[/b] He whispered, rubbing the plating on the leading edge of the wing. He looked around, there wasn't any way he could get the Akula off this wreck, he'd need a crane to lift it off. He grimaced, she'd have to stay here for now. He opened the cockpit and peered in, she still had fuel too. If there was a clear runway, he'd be able to just take off and go, but this wasn't a short or vertical take off and landing airship. That was still in the sketchbook. He rubbed his chin, looking at all the trees around him, he might be able to make one... in a few months maybe. That was probably not on the table. He sat down on his airships wing, then he spoke to the Erune boy. [b]"By any chance is there a village or town nearby?"[/b] He asked.
