Ivory-hued feathers intricately etched with copper filigree glistened in the fading sunlight as the aeromancer's talon-forearm jack bolted into a gearwork scaffold. Twin brass cannons nestled in her winglets shone like polished opals, their rifled barrels adorned with tiny gears and dials that glinted like moonstones. A dorsal fin carved from polished steel soared above her shoulders, hosting a delicate azure glass vial that pulsed with a faint astrological glow. A miniature top hat of burnished bronze clung precariously to her skull, its silk-lined interior rumpled from her recent acrobatic exploits.
