Airships Stories

Strong-spirited wild child Jalia, who loves nothing better than to tease her best friend, Macco, is the daughter of Katara, a waterbending legend, and Aang, the current Avatar. That's a lot to live under the shadow of. Not to mention the fact that she didn't give their parents what they wanted: an airbender. Instead, she's just a boring old waterbender who will never be as great as her mum. It seems all is lost for her parents and the nonexistent airbender population until six years after Jalia arrives, they have a baby boy who has a way with the wind. And with him comes a change in the relationship between Jalia and her parents. It’s not long before Jalia decides to set off on her own like her Mum and Uncle Sokka once did, with the company of Macco, of course. As if the spirits hadn’t seen it coming, the two of them cause quite a lot of trouble before discovering an undercover plot has been brewing for years. They’re in deep enough already, but it’s not just their safety that’s on the line now, but the peace of the Four Nations comes to rest in their hands. Nothing like trusting the fate of the world to a of couple teenagers. Jalia’s known for her determination and perseverance, though. And she and her friends, new and old, will stop at nothing to save the world they call home. --- Fanfic of: Avatar: the Last Airbender I do not own the rights to some characters, the setting, or the cartoon.

Millennia passed since the Dragons found us. Centuries passed since they left us, separating the world with plumes of eternal rainbow fire. People began to wonder: were we worth saving? Dragons were beings of myth, scaled gods who descended from the heavens to teach humanity and fae. A rare few are afforded the chance to meet their heirs, the undisputed heroes of this declined age: The Scaled. These Children of Dragons are stronger, hardier, and some would say far smarter that other humans, differentiated only by the horns on their head and scales on their skin. Rael is...not one of them. But Rael does need to protect one. Especially after breaking through the rainbow fire.Rael

"Declaring our Independence From the British One Airship at a Time." The colonies tried to protest once. They were brutally and ruthlessly crushed by the Red Coats. Now, no one thinks of rebelling. Not when the British have forts all throughout the colonies. Not when the British navy controls the skies, their airships looking down over the entire world like hawks poised to strike. Not when the price isn't just death, but the deaths of potentially everyone you love. But in a world ruled by fear and power hope comes from the unlikeliest of sources. There are always those that are pushed to far, who have lost a little too much, or who simply need the freedom of the skies. Those are the pirates; a collection of rebels, thrill-seekers, victims, and criminals whose motives are as diverse as their personalities but who are all headed towards a single flashpoint that will change everything. These are some of their stories.

[COMPLETED] On the seemingly endless cliff face of the Dawnwall, one wrong step means a long fall and a slow death. In a place where airships fill the sky and cities rest in alcoves of stone, a fear of heights is an embarrassing affliction, not that Aelyn Ellis will ever admit it. At fifteen years old the young shepherd is perfectly content spending his life buried in books, studying swashbuckling adventure from the comfort of a wool-cushioned chair. Unfortunately, as it is said on the Dawnwall, no one is above that which lies below. It is a cold and windless morning when Aelyn's non-paternal grandfather dies in an accident at the town's pier. Without a will, Aelyn loses everything: his home, his flock, and his library. Aelyn is left with only the clothes on his back and a single book in his pocket, a book that holds a dangerous secret. Burdened with the knowledge of a treasure unlike any other, Aelyn makes the choice to face his fear, setting forth on a voyage across the high-skies. Pursued by bloodthirsty sky pirates and haunted by ghostly apparitions, Aelyn must band together with a crew of privateers to unlock the secret of a fortune so valuable it could change the future... and the past.
