“Ah! It’s good to see you again,” a voice called out, “or have we only just met?” The setting sun fell through the windows and peering out of them reveals the earth far below and a seemingly endless sea of clouds darker purple to the east and brighter yellow in the west. Nearly inaudibly soft footsteps on hardwood floors made it easy to spot him. As he ascended a ladder, the tick of claws on metal steps filled the room, “I’ve a mortal mind and an ageless body,” he continued, turning a knob on a wrist-mounted apparatus, adding a quiet hissing to the thrum of the airship, “I’ve met so many that, well…” a click in the apparatus ignites the gas.
Standing about six feet tall – ignoring the elk-like antlers mounted atop his head – the creature’s amber eyes seem to have an almost hypnotic compulsion about them, pulling attention to them, “…you remind me of a friend,” he rumbles. Reaching for the pipe in front of him with his left hand the creature begins his inspection, “it’s nice to meet you,” he taps on the pipe, “pardon my distraction, this thing’s leaking at a pitch that I just can’t take it anymore,” another tap and he winces, “ah yes. I’m Captain Eyvindr of the Wanderer, but your life’s too short to waste on titles. Call me Eyv,” he gestures toward a far-off valve on the pipe and for a moment it appears he’s asking for help. It closes.
“Magic? Oh no. No not quite. It’s travel in the fourth dimension, so to speak. Manipulation of quantum sta-…you know, we’ll just go with magic.” He taps the pipe again, pauses, and tests it a third time, “there we are,” he flicks a sea-green valve on the pipe, a small amount of smoke emitting from it, “alright, so just need to heat this up…” Eyvindr’s torch touches the pipe, “it’s a full moon out tonight,” he grins, “I can already feel it coming over the horizon. It’s going to be a good night. Did they tell you, when you boarded the ship today, about me? Specifically, did they tell you that I’m a werewolf?”
His eyes focus, pulling a lever, spraying molten metal onto the pipe very slowly, “it’s going to be a good night, but I don't think you'll sleep much," he pauses, "no I'm not that kind of werewolf. We're breaking open a few kegs, bringing out a bunch of meat..you really should check out the ship's galley. Every month we throw these massive parties." The pipe glows red-hot, a nearly flat patch of newly-deposited solder coating a wide area, "it was somewhere in here. I'll have to replace the whole thing eventually..."
