  Chapter 6:  Rani's POV:  Nithya was hanging by one hand, in the open air, on the side door’s handle with her hair, escaping its braids, waving behind her and a  plunging terror in her eyes.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I immediately lunged forward to pull Nithya back into the ship, but a hand wrapped around my bicep and pulled me back. It was Nate.  ‘If you grab her, there's a strong chance, you’ll fall with her. The wind is too strong. We need a rope.’  Tears were leaking out of Nithya’s eyes now, as she scrambled to keep her grasp on the door handle. Her other hand was waving behind her as she tried to use it to grab onto the handle. The wind was too strong, and she wasn’t able to find the strength to bring her other arm up.  Shravya threw some shelve doors open, her eyes frantically searching for a cord of rope. Miscellaneous items flew out of the shelves as Shravya pulled o...

  Author's Note: We finally have a cover!!! It's the picture on the left. Hope you like it and enjoy chapter 5! It's a shorter one this time.  Chapter 5: Jay’s POV:       ‘Could you help me with this?’ My gaze drifted from the game I was watching, and went towards Jerry, who had a number of tools in his hands.  ‘Hm? Sure, what do you need?’ I said, getting up and walking towards him. We were in our dorm and Nate was out with Nithya and Shravya. They have been working hard for the past two days to find the leeway. With no avail, they let the rest of us do whatever we wanted today.  Jerry and I already finished unpacking, but he still didn’t get all of his tools and gadgets to the workroom. Jerry got his own room for working on the weapons and tools. Lucky, but then again his job was very important.  ‘Could you grab that box over there and come with me to the workroom?’ He pointed towards a box sitting a few inches away from his bed. I ben...

  Chapter 4: Scarlet’s POV:  For two people, who have only flown a ship in flight simulations, these two are pretty good. All of us are strapped to our seats but it isn’t necessary. Nithya and Shravya were flying smoothly and so far so good. We can still use our phones and laptops, but not to text or make calls, so I pull my laptop out of my bag and set it out on the white food tray/desk.  Next to me was Rani, who pulled out a book and was reading. I got an immediate headache if I tried to read in motion. Speaking of which, Jay wasn’t looking so good.  Nate, also noticing this, reached into his bag and brought out an orange pill bottle. He unscrewed the lid and handed Jay two of the tablets and said,  ‘Take it with water.’  Jay nodded with relief and took the pills. I watched as he poured water into his mouth and swallowed the pills along with it. Moments later he was already looking better, the tinge of green gone from his face. Nate really was prepared f...

Chapter 3: Shravya’s POV:  Long ago, before the Shining War, stars used to light up our world. Children used to come out and set out telescopes to gaze at the beautiful orbs in the sky. Then the Enchanters came. They made the stars even brighter, using their magic. They would practice for hours, making the passersby gawk in awe. However, the Elders didn’t approve of the magic. In fact, they despised it. The Elders gave the Enchanters an ultimatum. Leave our city or our forces will make you. The Enchanters refused to leave and the Shining War began.  The Enchanters won, due to them having the obvious advantage. Magic. They trapped all the Elders and their people in one city, which became Magellan.  However, the Elders made a school called Magellan Academy. In the Academy, they trained the students to fly. To fly spaceships to escape their confined city. The graduates of Magellan Academy would fly in space and try to find a way out of this cursed city.  Eventually, ...
