The adventures of Tintin, Malory and Snowy.

King Ottokar's Sceptre. (4)

Crash Landing into Syldavia.

Tintin POV:

The plane has finally landed.

"Welcome to Syldavia! We hope you've enjoyed your flight." The flight attendant said to everyone before opening up the plane and letting us out.

"We have to find out the truth." I told Malory as we stood at the top of the stairs, watching the professor walking down them first and he turned to see if we were coming along, "Malory, do you think you can-"

"I got it." She reassured me and I couldn't help but smile. The fact that she knows me so well by this point...

I went down first and just as I finished coming down-

"Whoops!" Malory yelped as she 'tripped' and ended up grabbing onto the professor's beard in the process and pulling down on it, hard.

He yelled in pain.

"It's real!" Malory and I gasped as she backed off in surprise and Malory hurried to compose herself, "I-I-I mean, I'm really sorry, it's was an accident, I tripped!"

"That's quite alright." He reassured us, smoothing his beard and soothing the pain while Malory and I shared a confused and unsure look with each other.

"Professor Alimbick?" A new voice joined the conversation and we turned to see a man in a royal pilot suit walking towards us.

"Yes! And these are my assistants, Tintin and Malory." The professor introduced as the pilot saluted us.

"The king's aide has arranged a special flight for you. I'm to take you directly to Klow." He explained, pointing at a red plane not too far from us.

"That's wonderful!" Professor Alimbick replied.

"Yes, wonderful." I agreed.

"I'm glad you both are happy. Now, if you'll please follow me." The pilot said before taking our suitcases and making his way to the plane with us behind him.

"All of this for a seal?" Malory asked, making me realize she has a point.

"I do not question my orders, Ma'am. I'm just doing as I'm told." He simply replied.

No One POV:

And once again, the trio were on a plane.

A little while after the take off, Malory found herself looking out the window.

"Wow! I didn't realize how beautiful Syldavia is." She said in awe, wrapping a hand around Snowy's stomach to ensure he won't fall from her movements in her seat.

"It is..." Tintin agreed with a soft smile, but the thing is, he was talking about Malory in the little ray of sunlight that came through her window and shone lightly on her face.

"You should see more of it." Professor Alimbick commented.

"Allow me to arrange that." The pilot suddenly said ominously.

"Wait what?" Malory asked as both she and Tintin snapped from their daydreams and looked at him... pulling a lever and opening a trap door under their seats, resulting in both them and their suitcases falling through it.

Malory POV:

I screamed at the top of my lungs, my heart felt like it was leaping through my throat as I did. I could hear Tintin screaming too and it got further a little bit as the fall scattered us in the air.

The first shock faded when I accidentally let Snowy go.

"SNOWY!" I yelled as it happened before somehow I was able to see Tintin reaching for the back of his seat where the parachute was located and he opened it.
