Drifting Dragons 1-14

The crew of the luxury liner Flight 18 tries to avoid the pirates, who have attacked it. The captain tells them not to worry, because they can keep the ship stable. He tells the crew not to skimp on the food, which is his favorite. He also tells them to get a good night's sleep, because he hasn't slept well in a while. He suggests that they make jelly out of pinna, a type of dragon's skin. He says he's going to find a ship to take them to the nearest town.
