It warms my heart that you fine people still are around for this old man's story. Well, let me start up again.

Right then, last time we were with our heroes, Joseph got split up with everyone else, but reunited with JD, now Shift, and Striker. Now they have their own skyship to venture off to find the others. Let's see where they head off now...

"How are we doing on flight there, Shift?" I asked. Then, a sudden halt made us stop. I almost fell down but regained balance. "Plain swell, then"

Shift came out of the control room. "What the hell happened?" I asked.

"Well..." He said. "Our fuel gauge compulsion systems are in a depleted state up to the point of no momentum"

"English please, Shifty" Striker came out of the cabin room. 

"We don't have enough coal, the fuel source for this transportation vehicle, to go any forward"

"Well then. Fantastic. I guess we need to get coal then" I then surveyed the surroundings, to find a guy traveling in his airship. We signaled to him and he soon came our way.

"Evening there, sirs! How are you today?" He said

"We are kinda stuck. I don't suppose you don't have any coal, do you?"

"Sure! Lucky for you..." He tossed a bag onto the ship "I have some just for you" 

I opened up the bag and there was the coal. Perfect! I thought. But wait, how do we get this in? 

He jumped onto our ship. "You seem to need some help refueling, so come with me and I will help you out"

We all walked down to the fueling deck, to where he showed us how to properly fuel. 

And so, 15 minutes later...

"And that's how you refuel your airship sirs! Good day to you all!" He turned around, but his ship was gone. 

"Does it, by any chance, go by itself if it has been fueled too much?"

"Where....Where did it go?! It was right here!"

"Hey, don't worry" I walked up to him. "We'll help you find it. We always are here for the innocent and in need."

"Aw, thanks mister" He got back up. "Well, I was heading in the direction of the circus anyways, yet it is a length's way from here. But let's check anyways."

"Okay then. Shifty! Take us North!" He then got back into the control room and started it up again. Our next destination: The circus! Yea.....

About a few minutes into the travel, I asked many things about him. His name is Leonardo, and he is on a journey. Wouldn't tell me though. Oh well.

"Can you tell me who runs the city?"

"Why of course!" Leo said with delight. "A man called The Watchmaker watches all over all of us of Sapphire City. He makes things happen, prompt and on time. If he says there will be rain at 3:51, there will be rain at 3:51."

"A man capable of time manipulation AND weather control?! Please tell me more!" Shifty perked up. 

"Well..." He kept going on....

And thus, 45 minutes later...

"...And that's why they call him The Watchmaker" Leo finally finished

"That's nice an all, but, why do you follow his words? Do you even know who he is?" I said

" I just said what he is. He is a man that gives us a city, weather, food, drinks, time, safety, and most importantly, hope. All of his teachings? We all follow them. We were all brought up to believe. 'The universe has a plan' he says. 'We are only human, and it is not ours to understand' These are many teaching he gives us, and we all follow them..."

"Wow" I finally said "Wise man"

"He sure is."

"Well, sorry to bother you all..." Striker came out of the cabin room again. "But it's getting late. Time for us to hit it and go to sleep" 

"Yeah, let's stop here for now" Leonardo said. "But tomorrow I must tell you about the angels and the one we despise the most of all"

The most of all? I thought. Well he sure must be evil then. 

We all went down to the cabin room, yet I couldn't sleep. His words were just cycling through my ears.

Brought up to believe and The universe has a plan. Completely weird. Yet, completely wise. Here's to tomorrow....

Well, sorry, chaps, but I must end the story for here now, but come back next time for another one for you. Till then, believe. 
Another chapter down, ONTO THE NEXT ONE!!! 

And please read this description: I was wondering, because the next two chapters are short, should I put them together? Or separately? Please answer. Till then, I'M OUTS!
