A few years earlier ...
The plane was falling. He felt it with every cell of his body, as if he were one with this wounded machine, fighting in the air for its life. Such wounds inflicted on a huge beast flying through space were incompatible with life. Kai understood that. But he fought, fought to the last.
Fuel leaked from the holes, leaving the huge body drained of blood. The last growls, coughs, groans, and sobs came from a motor beating in death throes.
"Don't die, my friend in battle! You've saved me in this battle, save me now! Do not take with you to this endless blue sky! I want to live so much!"

I love this story, I really do. But lately I feel like the world building has started to interfere with the pacing both during combat and exploration, slowing the story to a crawl. We don’t necessarily need full explanations on the biology of Alraunes mid-fight and the details of the formation of silt deposits could possibly shortened? Thisis just my opinion of course and I am forever grateful for free quality content. I still believe that this is worth mentioning, especially because it has grown more pronounced over the chapters.
