Ashy Sky Novels & Stories

It was like she was in a whole different world entirely. She seemed to be in a forest but the trees and the vegetation were looking quite strange. There was pink and purple colored trees. The grasses were blue and the sky was incredibly beautiful. She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw more than one sun shining brightly, surprisingly the intensity of the heat was less than earth's. The place seemed like paradise.

She squinted her eyes.

He was not sure about his decision at first, but he had no other option after knowing the truth other than to leave. It was a cold night after a scorching hot summer day, Asher was peering out at the sky through his room’s window. It was a full moon night, and he was trying to decipher the patterns stars were forming in the sky. Suddenly something appeared in the sky and dissolved in the matter of a blink. He bolted up in his bed and rubbed his eyes to confirm that he hadn’t fallen asleep but to his shock, he was fully awake. He flew his blanket aside and quickly headed towards the window and looked at the sky while rubbing his eyes again.

He’d seen the light — seen what Serakha was become — and hadn’t turned away. They climbed higher and the wind grew sharper, thinner. In front of them, the mountain loomed — steep and jagged, shrouded in clouds. Long ridges of dark stone rose like the backs of some slumbering monster. The Ash Spires. Their tips were lost in vapor, barely alight with a red glow deep inside them, like coals hidden under the cold. Serakha paused. “This is where she said it was going to be,” she murmured.

Sunny said in excitement. Then before we all could realize it the sky darkened and suddenly began to pour. But all of a sudden, the weather became crisp and sunny again. “Guys mine worked out. I just commanded the sky now. My gift just worked” Sunny was lost in excitement and astonishment. “ You did? I thought it happened naturally” Tyler said, shocked.

Asher He surveyed the room once again, making sure that he’d cleaned up all the blood. The overwhelming smell was bleach, but he knew it would dissipate soon enough with the open window.

His face was void of emotion, like something inside of him had once been bruised and scarred but was now broken. The sun had broken through the darkness on the horizon, and the sky bore glorious shades of fiery reds and oranges as it mixed with the dark clouds that promised rain.

I think you missed it" Ashley answered disappointedly, “It happened in a flash” “There could be another one or even more. We need to keep looking, Ashley.

Looking back towards the lonesome bird, I’m met with the animal's absence while I search the medley of dull colours painting the forest for its stark black feathers—startled by its unheard exit behind us, questioning whether it was even there in the first place. Shaking away my bewilderment, I lift my head to look at the sky—watching the few white clouds overhead float by while revelling in the departing rays of mellow sunlight still casting down, allowing it to dance over my pale skin as it flickers through the winding branches forming a canopy. To my side, Ash inhales deeply, causing his nostrils to flare wide while he takes in the crisp, earthy scents around us—appearing bright-eyed and c

“But when the time comes… if things turn... I need to know you’ll keep yourself safe.” Her eyes glistened. “Only if you promise you’ll do the same.” He didn’t answer that.
