Aether X Ei Novels & Stories

My words came in a rush, breathless, as if speaking them fast enough might change the terrifying reality. Valen’s gaze softened, but the tension in his jaw remained. His silence only made the desperation claw harder at my chest. Caelora’s eyes flicked between the two of us, a faint frown creasing her brow. “It’s not that simple, Maerwynn. The Aether doesn’t just exist within you—it’s bonded to you. Removing it would be like tearing out a piece of your soul. It’s not a mere relic to be passed along like some heirloom.”

Across the room, the wall-mounted television flickered to life, showing a news ticker about the Clarke Empire’s sudden, catastrophic liquidity crisis. "It’s not just a lock, Madi," Ethan muttered, his jaw tight as he leaned over her shoulder, his hands gripping the back of her chair until the leather groaned. "The Cains... the survivors. They didn't just crawl into a hole. They crawled into bed with Aether-Corp. Those tech bastards just wiped your name from the global registry. In the eyes of the bank, you don't exist." "Aether-Corp?" Madison threw her head back, a sharp, jagged laugh tearing from her throat. "The corrupt conglomerate that buys politicians for breakfast? They actually teamed

she said, "Never heard of that" jason replied, "Of course, you wouldn't, illummino doesn't count it as something and that rascal aether's just the same" she said angrily, "Wow, she really has something against aether " he thought, but he was pretty fine staying away from whatever issue the deities had between themselves,

' Vrisha nodded. "However, Erica here", his gaze fixated on her, "Seems to be able to wield the power of Aether which is also called quintessence". His eyes sparkled as he explained further, "It's like an amalgamation of every other elemental. It's apparently been named after a Greek goddess". Erica's mouth hung open. "What?" Elias hummed, his lips tugging up, "You, my dear, have the power to fuse two powers or control another mage's power." Erica's mind was slowly filling up. "Huh?"

Wind gathered around her fingers, spinning into a perfect sphere of light and motion. “This is the breath of the Aether,” she said. “The force that listens to emotion and thought alike. You do not command it, you converse with it.” The class began to spread out. Each student stood before a small crystal pedestal that floated a few inches above the floor. The air around each pedestal shimmered faintly, waiting to respond. “Close your eyes,” Vivienne said. “Breathe. Feel the current not around you, but through you. The air carries your thoughts. Whisper to it. Ask it to move.”

Even if Stewart had been uninterested, Thorne and Vesta would have welcomed him in the past. But not right now. Charlene couldn't bring herself to look at them, and Vesta's gaze was much colder. Stewart and Charlene said hello to Elias and went inside without thinking about Thorne or Vesta. "They just ended things with us and immediately teamed up with Aether Innovations," Stewart said sourly once they entered the private dining area. Thorne doesn't play around. Partnering with Aether Innovations, a well-known company in the AI industry, probably cost more than their prior agreement.

Yet here stood Elyra, everything I was not, and Draven could not bring himself to dismiss her outright. As I watched them, something darker caught my attention. While Elyra spoke and held Draven’s focus, her other hand hovered subtly near Aether, a faint thread of dark energy pulsing from her fingertips into my son’s small body. It was so slight I almost missed it, but I felt it through our connection, a slow draining that made Aether stir restlessly against me. She was taking something from him even now, siphoning tiny sparks of his hybrid power while pretending to admire him. Rage surged through my exhaustion, hot and protective, cutting through the insecurity like a blade.

He moved his body slightly, clearly wanting to end the conversation. “Hold on!” Elijah leaned forward abruptly, his eyes sharp, “I remember, you’ve had contact with Dr. Frade from Aetheria before. If we could hire Dr. Frade as a technical advisor for the Anderson Group’s biotech and get his patent support, it would be a huge positive and definitely save the market! Contact him immediately and try to get him to come to our country for a detailed discussion on cooperation this week!” Thiago raised an eyebrow and said lightly, “Alright.”
