Above The Sky Book Novels & Stories

"The trials are complete." The entire mountain trembled as the Tree Beyond the Sky blazed brighter than the sun. Its massive trunk slowly split open, revealing a grand staircase of living silver wood that spiraled upward into the heavens. At its summit rested an ancient altar, upon which lay a single object. It wasn't a weapon, nor was it a crown—it was an old, weathered book bound in white bark and moonlight. Celestia's breath caught. "The Book of Origins..." She had believed it lost since the dawn of the First Age.

'I think something happened. 'Yes,' Lihua said. 'I noticed.' She crossed the room and crouched in front of the girl. 'Tell me what you feel.' 'Like the ceiling is gone,' Ruoxuan said. 'Like I have been living in a room my whole life and someone just took the roof off and there is just — sky up there. More sky than I knew existed.' She looked at her hands. 'I advanced. Did I advance?' 'You broke through to Foundation Establishment,' Lihua said. 'Fully. Cleanly.'

I sat in the chair that once belonged to Samuel, toying with a golden Desert Eagle. The main door was pushed open. Jules rushed in. "Skylar!"

A broken world and a burning sky. An open Gate and me standing above it all smiling.

"That's too far! Maeve's family doesn't have much. She just wanted to borrow your books. What gives you the right to treat her like that? You think having money makes you better than everyone? This is ridiculous!" I looked at the two of them and suddenly felt like the whole thing was a joke. "Yeah. I've got money, and I do think that makes me better than everyone. You got a problem with that?" I shot Blake a cold glance. "If you really think it's a waste, go dig them out of the trash for her." I turned and walked out without another word. I went straight to the front counter on the first floor and tapped the desk. "Hi, I'm ending the lease for the private room in the back corner upstairs."

"You still think Skye's just some regular programmer?" Edward's tone was sharp with disbelief. "She's a top-tier hacker I managed to bring back through old connections! Letting her date you back then was me doing you a favor." Julian froze for several seconds, stunned speechless. When he finally found his voice again, it was full of incredulity. "Her?!" "Yes, her!" Edward barked, his patience gone. "Skye was the best match I could've arranged for you, and look what you've done! You went and got another woman pregnant—what a disgrace!"

The Day the Sky Opened One evening, as lanterns flickered across Duskfall’s rooftops, a storm passed overhead but it wasn’t wind or rain. It was light. A soft shimmer like falling stars. Children ran to the windows, cheering. Elders whispered ancient names. Some wept. But it wasn’t a sign of danger. It was a reminder. That the world had more to show us. We called it the Sky Veil. And for seven nights, it danced above the land. Elira said, “It’s the story shifting.” 3. A Visitor from the South Seas A delegation arrived by river a woman and her two sons, cloaked in sea glass blues, their voices laced with tide rhythms.

I'm sure what they heard was just a stupid goat bleating. Sky lifted the book above his head and asked, “What exactly should I give back?” Since words weren't enough, then I'd have to do it the hard way—the violent taketh it by force! I jumped, trying to reach my novel, but he was far taller than me. I must look stupid right now. Sky stretched his hand sideways, and handed the novel to Quinn. Not him! I rushed to take the book from Quinn, but I was held back by Josh, who grabbed my backpack.

It continued pinging for a while as she ignored it . It was almost midday and the sun was changing directions ready to set in a few hours. Birds chirped in the sky as they flew away from the city back into the forest to their own aboard. Such a beautiful sight. The blue of the sky alight with passion as though welcoming a new month as its clarity and brightness lit the earth . If it had life of it's own, the girl would say that the sky was simply looking at the arrogant humans who walked on earth with pride unaware of how the sky stayed intact in the heavens without a firm foundation.

In the distance: Luna’s Bed, bright and soft. The pup asks his grandmother: “Grandma, why does the sky touch us?” The grandmother, 100, smiles. She has 60 Sky Hands. “Because baby, a long time ago we taught the sky how to remember. And the sky learned. And then the sky wanted to learn how to help. So it grew hands.” “Will I have hands too?” “You already do,” the grandmother says. “Two on your body. And as many as you need in the sky.”
