That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy.

Once Upon A Steampunk by delapr007

Story 2 of short Steampunk story, an aircraft officer and a postman try to find the cure of a strange poison in an island full of dragons and sky pirates. To me, Once upon a Steampunk is a captivating journey into an alternate reality, where the gears of the Industrial Revolution turn in harmony with fantastical elements and a touch of Victorian elegance. In this mesmerizing tale, the air is thick with steam, and the clinking of mechanical contraptions resounds through the cobbled streets. Immerse yourself in a world where steam-powered marvels and clockwork wonders coexist with corsets, top hats, and elaborate fashion. The landscape is a fusion of the familiar and the extraordinary, where towering airships navigate the skies and intricately designed automatons carry out daily tasks.

Shaun Ingary is a dreamer. Dreamed of becoming a pilot like his father and travel the world, he and his mechanic of a best friend, Oliver, build their very first plane called the Peryton. A two-seater, propeller-powered monoplane with antlers, both of them experience the thrill of flight. A week later, his town burned to ashes. All because of a mysterious journal. Months after moving to the fortified capital of Granazia, Shaun thought that he and his family are safe, but he realizes that there's no safety and assurance inside the city walls. Trapped in the walled city of corruption, Shaun and his friends old and new need to find an escape, and help comes in a form of a mysterious thirteen year old boy who happens to know a lot more than his own good. Together they unravel the secrets hidden inside the walls, but despite their efforts, it was all in vain. And when the truth is out, Shaun makes his choice, and he may never see his family again, but he's not alone. He and his friends join a resistance group whose aim was to take back the capital, but during a potentially dangerous mission, Shaun and his friends are shocked to find something they didn't expect to find.

As chaos engulfed the once-mighty civilization, a beacon of hope emerged amidst the turmoil-the island of Britannia. In this land of mist and legends, the wealthy and powerful sought refuge, forging a new path in the face of impending darkness.

The Gothic Empire, fueled by a thirst for power and expansion, unleashes its relentless hordes upon the last bastion of resistance. The fate of an empire hangs in the balance as the war rages on. Heroes rise from the ashes, their hearts ablaze with the spirit of defiance. From the towering war machines that shake the earth with their every step to the swift airships that dance through the clouds, the forces of Imperium Britannia stand united, ready to confront an enemy that seeks to crush their final resistance. Prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey into a world where steam and steel collide, where the fate of an empire rests upon the indomitable will of its people.
