Empire of Ivory

A tragedy has befallen His Majesty's Aerial Corps, whose awe-inspiring fleet of combat dragons, alongside their devoted human captains, fiercely protects England's shores from the advancing armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic, the origin of which remains unknown, is ravaging the noble dragons, leading to a dire situation where many are left hopelessly ill and forced into quarantine. As a result, only Temeraire and a group of newly recruited dragons are free from infection, representing the last line of airborne defense against France’s increasingly audacious attacks.

The stakes are high, as Bonaparte's dragons are already threatening British naval vessels at sea, escalating the urgency of the situation. In light of this crisis, there is but one path to follow: Temeraire and his captain, Will Laurence, must embark on a perilous journey to Africa. It is hoped that the shores of that distant land may hold the key to curing this mysterious and deadly contagion afflicting their ranks.

Time is of the essence on this critical mission. With each passing moment, the threat of the epidemic looms larger, and uncertainty surrounds what challenges lie ahead on their journey and what fate awaits those they leave behind. As the last uninfected dragons prepare for flight, anticipation, dread, and hope mix in the hearts of both captain and crew. Will Laurence knows the weight of responsibility resting upon his shoulders; not only must he protect Temeraire and the newly enlisted dragons, but he must also ensure their successful return with a cure that could save countless lives.

As Temeraire spreads his vast wings to take to the skies, the landscape of their homeland slowly fades behind them. Each heartbeat is filled with apprehension and resolve, knowing that their nation relies on their success. The seas loom ahead with the promise of adventure, but also the threat of peril. It offers both the unknown and hope, a place where a cure might lie hidden amidst the rich tapestry of Africa's landscapes.

Throughout the journey, they remain acutely aware of the dangers posed by Bonaparte’s relentless forces. The dragons under Temeraire's command must brace themselves for possible encounters with their adversaries, while Laurence carefully considers every strategy to navigate down treacherous paths. As they soar high above the clouds, both dragon and captain are acutely aware that their choice to venture into the great wide world could ultimately save their comrades still suffering back in England.

The air is thick with tension as the mission unfolds, knowing it will demand every ounce of bravery from both Temeraire and Will Laurence. With each flap of his powerful wings, Temeraire carries not just himself and his captain, but the hopes of an entire nation, thrusting them forward into an uncertainty fraught with challenges. They are determined to confront the coming trials head-on, for the fate of their kind—both dragons and humans—hangs precariously in the balance. The horizon beckons, but only time will tell what awaits them in the expanse of the unknown.
