(((Okay kids enough of this noisy play - time for a real calamity!)))
The lights went out and the music stopped. The babble rose and fell until everyone in the Roost was quiet. Nothing moved.
And then the worst possible sound came forth:
A long, low drone. The Sky Pirate alarm.
An avian rushed from the lower deck where all the windows were to the upper floor where everyone else was.
"It's the Skaila! The Skaila Armada are here!"
The Skaila armada were the most powerful and feared pirate gang in all of ye northern hemisphere. They operated like the military and were large enough to get the actual soldiers running for cover. Their spaceship-like airships were armed to the teeth and generally bladed. What's more, they usually had large bladed wings and accessories on the faces if their ships as well.
A cannon shot - likely from a main gun on a frigate class - rocked the entire island. The dark Roost flashed red as a titanic magic circle that could only be one of Terin's lit up the night sky. A titanic boom rocked the island as an airship exploded.
Then the real party started.
"EVERYONE OUT!" Screamed a hysterical avian as the steady gunfire if at least thirty airships pelted relentlessly into the island, tipping it off balance by several degrees. Everyone knew that in a few seconds enough if the island would be destroyed for it to start sinking.
Because when the Skaila Armada showed up, very few EVER survived...
