Isolated in academics
To finish my final days
Honored with a chance to fly
To an Ancient World
For a journey unlike any other with friend
Of New and Old
We all gather to the skies
From points of two
Dependent on which part of the pan
We originated
Many seeing each other
In the flesh
For the first time
Immediately we become friends
Unified by simply excitement a nervousness
For something entirely new for all of us
We each gather for the skies
To wait six hours short of a day
To begin our journey
In the oldest of lands
Many of us resting
Some simply lying back
We talk among our members about our paths
Leading us to this point and where we hope it goes
We come closer to our destination
Excitement grows among tired minds
Our blood rushes through our veins for what is to come
As or passage in the sky suddenly changes and burns
To be extinguished by the salty cries of Ryūjin
And swallowed whole to gain passage to
a New World
