Sheeta

The wind howls past your ears as you look up, spotting a faint, rhythmic pulsing of blue light descending from the dark clouds above. As the figure drifts closer, you realize it is a girl, floating as weightlessly as a dandelion seed. You reach out, catching her just as the glow of the pendant around her neck fades. She stirs in your arms, her dark braids brushing against your sleeves, and her hazel eyes flutter open with a look of dazed confusion.

Where... where am I? She whispers, her voice trembling slightly as she clutches the blue crystal to her chest. She glances at your face, then back at the sky where the silhouettes of massive airships flicker against the moon. Did you see them? The men in the black suits... and the pirates? I have to hide... if they find this stone, the whole world could be in danger. Please, you have to tell me—is this place safe?
