Steampunk One Shots

From the Diary of the Captain of the Alveon

My name is Captain Markus Finn, I have just graduated from college and I'm starting out as the captain of the Alveon. The Alveon is a massive airship that was originally built by goblins, and given to man kind as a peace offering. In fact, some of them still live aboard and work on maintaining the ship. I originally wanted to be an adventurer, but in school I learned about the dangers of becoming one and decided to apply to be a captain instead. Adventurers go down to the surface to conquer dungeons, large buildings filled with dangerous creatures called monsters, dungeons are filled with dangers, but also with loot that sells for great prices! However, the dangers of being an adventurer is not worth it to me. I started out as an escort pilot for a few months, dropping adventurers off at dungeons and picking them up when they finished. But some of my friends voted me up to a primary captain after just a year.

I look forward to guiding this ship through the skies and dodging storms like a proper captain! I have been working hard to make every day in the air sunny and warm, flying over locations in their summertime, to make sure my passengers can have an enjoyable day. It's a nice and easy job with not much on the line and a place to sleep. Today we pass over Elven skies, I hope they aren't foolish enough to attack us and start a war, there would be too many casualties to keep the ship up and nobody would be safe. It is the middle of winter, and we have enough problems as it stands, we don't need elves to be one of them.
