The air over the preserve - Late Saturday evening

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

The two airships quickly rose into the air and moved across the preserve, the ropes from the hedgehog cage still dangling beneath one of them. The damage from the blaster fire destabilized the airship however, and it began to wobble, slowly losing altitude. The other ship, its speed increasing, was already halfway out to sea when the sticky goo on the dangling ropes got caught in the treetops, pulling the slower ship down. Released by what seemed like some kind of emergency catapults, seven shapes were hurled out of the gondola. They would have hit the trees as well if it hadn't been for their parachutes, patched and colourful like the ships, with which they glided out to sea and landed in the water. The remaining ship released the ladder and picked up the survivors, before quickly setting out to sea and disappearing beyond the horizon.

The abandoned airship had been swallowed up by the trees in the preserve, lost in its surprising vastness as much as the now freed blue hedgehogs.

[[The goblins are now gone from Fandom. Somewhere in the preserve lies a crashed airship. You won't find it if you go looking. There is also a hidden colony of flying blue hedgehogs. You won't find them either.
