Mei Xilan remained calm and collected as she stepped onto the Skylark’s main deck, which was expansive, spanning the entire upper surface of the airship. It had been designed to accommodate a large number of passengers and crew comfortably. The deck was divided into several sections and each one served a specific purpose.
Made from a combination of polished hardwood and reinforced, lightweight metal, the deck’s aesthetic looked both ancient and modern. The hardwood provided durability and a touch of traditional elegance. The lightweight metal helped keep the ship’s overall weight manageable. She traced her hand along one of the guardrails, which ran along the edges of the deck, each one intricately crafted from wood. They featured ornate patterns and engravings of phoenixes that added to the ship’s grandeur.
