Wings: A Prologue

The only revolution in the south is technological. All praise the marvels of the modern world as they roll off the assembly line: automobiles, guns, and airplanes. All, except newly-minted Grand Air Force Pilot Fezharek. Her dream was to fly with dragons, and instead she is assigned to Telgora's first-ever fighter plane squadron. Dejected, she wallows at a bar and questions the scope of her future life, until she meets two young men promising a different kind of revolution. While their ideas may not appeal to her, she cannot deny seeing their persuasive power. Worse yet, one of them is just clever enough to be flattering. As the two wander into the night, and their future, neither can conceive that years from now, they will be happy to think of such a simple time—a time when the people of Telgora still believed they could fly.
