Eldgrimm

In the floating city of Brasshaven, where airships rule the skies and steam-powered robots serve coffee, 17-year-old Finn Gearwright is just trying to survive high school at Machina Academy. He’s not a genius inventor like his father, nor a prodigy duelist like his rival, but he does have one thing—dumb luck.

Gears, Girls, and Total Chaos

Finn splashed into the freezing water, gasping for air.

Finn, coughing: "I'M GOING TO DROWN—"

Aurelia, yanking him onto a floating barrel: "You're fine."

Tess, shooting at pursuing soldiers: "We need to lose them."

Zephyria, grinning as she presses a detonator: "Already handled."

BOOM! The tunnel behind them collapsed, sealing off the soldiers.

Finn, panting: "You people are going to kill me."

Vespera, smirking: "Not before we steal something even bigger."

Finn, horrified: "…I hate that I'm interested. What did you find?"

Zephyria, holding up a blueprint of a massive Imperial airship: "The Aetherion, the Emperor's flagship."

Finn, staring at it: "…You want to steal a flying fortress."

Ignis, grinning: "HECK YES WE DO."

Finn, groaning: "I need new friends."
