Ashen Storm Novels & Stories

My chest burned. Milo. My baby. My joy. My shadow. Gone. I closed my eyes. And wished the sea had taken me, too. But it didn’t. And that meant something. It meant I was still here. Which meant Ethan and Sienna hadn’t finished the job. Which meant I still had something they didn’t expect me to have. Time. And vengeance. Because ashes don’t bleed. But they remember how to burn.

“Rowan! Don’t move!” Ashen stepped through the rising smoke, her figure sharp and terrifying against the flames. “I warned them,” she said softly, “that the Dragonheart would rise again. That the cycle would repeat. But this time—” Rowan’s mark flared in violent protest, burning her skin. Ashen pointed her glowing red blade at Rowan’s throat. “—this time, the Dragonheart dies with me.”

The smoke-forms scattered, then swarmed again, filling the ridge until I could barely see my own breath. The whispers rose, louder, drowning out thought. Hungry. Hungry. Hungry. My head pounded with it. “Isabella!” Asher’s voice cut sharp through the storm. “Move!” A shadow leapt for me, faster than my blade. I braced—then Asher slammed into it from the side, crushing it with his club until it screeched into nothing.

“Tell me, have you attended Professor Draven’s combat class yet?” I groan. “Unfortunately.” Professor Starling laughs. I smile despite myself. For a while, we simply walk. The academy slowly waking around us. Students gathering and bondeds stretching. The smell of breakfast drifting through the air. Gods, the place almost feels normal. Then a massive shadow passes overhead. I look up. A gryphon. Its rider laughing as they dive through the clouds. Further away, an Ironclad dragon releases a thunderous roar that shakes the ground beneath my feet. Students barely react.

There was a loud crash, which scared everyone there. My ashes scattered everywhere. Jasper still felt angry. He laughed disdainfully and stepped on my ashes, grinding them with the sole of his shoe. The staff members' jaws had dropped in shock. They hadn't even had time to stop him. Jasper kicked my ashes and sent them flying. "Tell Amara that she came up with a very innovative trick this time round, but it's lame. I'm not going to waver at all, no matter whether she's dead or alive!

‘I’ve never heard of who you speak of! ‘Oh I’m sure you have, your great grand father, your grand father, your father and now you. The Pack of Asha, famous for their… brutality and strength and, not too popularly known, red stare of death.’ ‘As I said, I do not know who you speak of.’

Ashley followed his direction and saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom, through the car windows, she vaguely saw a man sitting in the back seat, and that man seemed to look at her through the car window. They look at each other. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. "What... who is Mr. Blackstorm? I don't know him!" Ashley subconsciously backed away, looking for a chance to escape. But the man with the poker face stopped her first, "Miss Sanchez, Mr. Blackstorm is waiting." The forceful attitude seemed to tell Ashley that she had no room to refuse, even if she didn't want to, he would get her into the car. Ashley glared angrily. "Ashley, why are you dragging?
