Airovale - Episode 3 Short: Curse of the Temple Gold (Official Video)

Curse of the Temple Gold:The storm arrives not as weather but predator, and the fleet becomes its prey. Lightning selects victims, one freighter exploding into emerald fire—a haunting emblem branded into all who witness it. The chapter intercuts heroism and greed. On the Ironwind, Kael dives into black seas to save children, and the crew heaves copper overboard until the ship rises on sacrifice. On the Gilded Star, a wife clutches treasure even as her husband insists survival is the only wealth.

The prose is cinematic, but the morality sharp: fortune anchors in the depths and is cast off to embrace life. Dawn reveals half a fleet gone, the sea strewn with wreckage, survivors trembling under blankets. The takeaway is brutal and luminous: wealth has no buoyancy when time and tide decide. Readers are left shaken but compelled—the story has proved its thesis in lightning and salt. The price of greed is always collected.

About Airovale: Airovale is a sweeping tale of marooned aeronauts, forbidden love, and an island where time itself demands its due. Fans of steampunk fantasy, forbidden romance, and mythic world-building will be swept away into a story where every kiss, every betrayal, and every choice echoes across generations.

When a storm maroons a zeppelin crew on a forgotten island, they believe survival means food, fire-stone, and a way home. But Airovale is no ordinary island. Here, fae walk beside mortals, beasts bend to their guardians, and a single day lingers as a year beyond its shores.

The villagers warn: 'This island never gives—there is only exchange.'

Drawn into the mysteries of the canyon city and the glowing ruins beneath the river, young aeronaut Aden discovers more than danger. With Kira, the fae daughter of an elder bound by duty to another, he learns the island’s hidden law of time, love, and consequence. Every choice exacts a price, and desire itself can tip the balance.

As greed devours his crew, as war stirs between human and fae, Aden and Kira must decide whether to return to a world that has already aged beyond them—or risk everything in a portal that could cast them centuries into the past.
