Gilbert threw the airship forward with a speed that frightened even me. Not long after we took to the sky, a wailing alarm exploded through the whole of Jadecrest Island.
Luckily, we were on the edge of the island's harbor and had flown off before the alarm went off.
The entire island came to life, furious siren lights blazing on top of the large airship and several the harbor lighthouse. The dragonfly ships that were roaming the airspace all suddenly turned in one direction.
No matter how much of a head start we had, we still found ourselves in a sea of ships. Because of the incident, whatever it was, the patrol was incredibly and unusually high.
And in not more than ten minutes of taking flight, several vessels were already heading towards us from afar, from all directions that were seeable. From the window, I could see them plunging forward with furious speed.
They were especially nimble vessels, whizzing through the air, with a ghostly blue light emanating from behind them.
