First Chapter: The Sky Courier's Gamble
Opening Scene – A High-Speed Escape
Kael soars through the skies on his hoverboard, dodging sky pirate ships firing explosive rounds. His latest delivery—a mysterious sealed capsule—is on his back. His airship, The Starbolt, is burning, and he has only minutes before it crashes.
"Come on, come on—just a little further!" he grits his teeth, weaving between floating debris.
The pirate captain, Grimmjaw, a hulking beast of a man, smirks from his ship. "You can't run forever, courier! Hand over the package, and I'll let you live."
Kael scoffs. "Yeah, right! I've heard that one before."
Suddenly, a shockwave erupts from the capsule. Kael watches in horror as the container bursts open—revealing a silver-haired girl who floats in mid-air, eyes glowing.
Lyria speaks her first words: "Who… am I?"
Then, with a single wave of her hand, the entire pirate fleet is pulled into a vortex of crushing gravity. Kael barely escapes, catching her as she collapses.
"This just got a whole lot more complicated…"
