A Sailor's Power
In a world where the seas are covered with pirates, there were sailors who formed an alliance within a Crater, thinking they were safe from them. Though, they weren't alone in the Crater; surrounding their perfect island were other islands filled with mythical creatures. Those creatures keep to themselves as the sailors did the same. Soon the two were benevolent without any hostility in the beginning. Although, that peace between them didn't last long. Over the years--- centuries specifically, sailors begin shifting into cruel, foul beings, only caring about themselves. Those creatures were only seen as rewards and low lives as they were no match for their power. Shortly, creatures were fighting to defend their kind. At the start of a new era, three characters were brought into this world. At a young age, they thought they were becoming like the older sailors they once admired. Instead, the truth passes their eyes, making them see what their home is really like. Sliding with a foul creature from the seas, Mabel, Pacifica and Dipper are off with allies by their sides to defeat the wicked in their home. As well as ending the long-ending war with the mythical creatures. However, will any of them survive against the wicked leader and his pawns? --- Warning: There will be some themes shown in this story, so be careful reading at your own pace! ^^ --- The cover picture was created by me.

Brass Skies Vol. 1: The Battle of Chesapeake
"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.Complete
Between Sunless Seas
By 2600 the world has come to ruin. Flooded seas cover most land, forcing humans into massive airship colonies called Arks, though it's only for those that had the means to afford the arks or important status. As if that isn't bad enough, the constant pollution of earth has led the ozone layer to be replaced by a massive sea of smog and toxicity called the Veil covers the entire planet, blocking all light and plunging those below into a constant darkness. When Ren falls from his university ark in the stratosphere and through the Veil he expects to find a world of savage monsters and fiends. Instead, he discovers thriving communities between the sunless seas of the Veil. Making a bond with an injured bird, he journeys into uncertainty at a nearby port town before falling further into a world of pirates and criminals called the Parade . Ren will meet holy men, assassins, very angry cooks, and a captain with a mysterious past while trying to learn what life above the Veil never taught him, in the process finding a world of humanity under the cut throat survival and greed of the corporatized world above. Falling in with the crew of the airship Pigeon, Ren becomes embroiled in a scheme to free one of their crew-mates from a corporate labor ark while learning that the companies running things above the Veil might not be the paragons of morality they claim.Complete
