Somewhere in the Frozen North, a griffon expedition has gone missing. As the only airship specifically designed for the frigid environment, the Aurora Dawn and her crew's first mission out of the shipyards will be to find and rescue this lost expedition.
If only they knew what the expedition was really out there to find...
Inspired by the collective works of H.P. Lovecraft, though familiarity with Lovecraft's works are not necessary to get this.
I experimented quite a bit with narrative in this story, specifically in using different narrative voices depending upon the perspective. I'll leave it up to the readers if I pulled this off effectively.
My thanks to JawJoe for the exceptionally helpful prereading and suggestions on how to make this story all the better.
