On Dragon Island, atop a deliberately chosen cliff, a man wearing a leather jacket and goggles was carefully adjusting his gloves.
His outfit was custom-made, featuring zipper designs that had not yet become popular. These zippers were quite intricate, not easy to produce, and naturally, more expensive.
However, to ensure the pilot's safety, this costly latest design was rightfully placed on the standard-issue leather jackets of the aviators.
There was no choice in the matter, for pilots were living Gold, an immensely treasured fighting class, the most expensive in history!
The pilot was very young; he had goggles on his head, ready to be pulled down to protect his eyes at any moment, and his aircraft actually had a cockpit, a rather enclosed one at that.
Unfortunately, it was not a complete aircraft with its own power. It was a glider for training pilots!
