Ashy Sky Novels & Stories

It was a small, good thing in a world that felt increasingly dark. As they left the highlands and turned north towards the Wastes, the land began to change. The green of the grass became patchy, then gave way to hard, cracked earth. The air grew dry and carried a faint, acrid smell, like old smoke and lightning. The sky was a pale, sickly yellow. Liora found herself walking beside Ashiel. He had been silent for hours, his gaze fixed on the horizon where the yellow sky met the blackened earth.

But she wasn’t exactly sure how. It started small. Flickering lights when she was angry. A crack spidering across the kitchen window when her mom screamed at her for not moving on already. Then there was the dream. It felt real. Too real. She was standing in a forest of ash trees. Everything was grey; the sky, ground, even the wind. Then she looked down and saw something glow on her skin. A mark. Twisting vines circling her arm, pulsing like it had a heartbeat of its own.

It was barely four in the evening. The floorboards were weathered and the table somewhat tacky. Relying on the light coming through western-facing windows, Blue couldn’t comment on the ceiling lamps—only two of which were functional. Sun slipping behind the dense hedging that was the central business district, she worried that she was keeping the café open; and as such, lack of natural lighting was not usually an issue.

The way she looked so innocent and cute as she stretched her hands in the air made his heart jump in excitement. Sitting beside Annabelle on the grass, Ashley laid down flat, her gaze fixed on the sky, Henry laid beside her and finally, Annabelle too. Staring at the sky alone made her feel somehow relieved. It was like her muddled thoughts were clearing bit by bit, but she couldn't get her mind of those eyes. The green and purple eyes. Even if the purple eyes had been her imagination, was the green eyes her imagination too? No! Alex had green eyes for real.

~Alaya "You're the one who wanted this," I remind her. "You look beautiful, anyway. Everything will be fine." Sky shakes her head at me, staring out the window of her bedroom nervously. She is dressed now, her hair and makeup flawless. However, she is visibly trembling, nervous about what is about to come in the next few moments. We are about be picked up to be taken to Alpha Asher's party, and it has finally dawned on her.

The Edge of the Woods The sun had just begun its descent when Ashara stepped out onto the porch, the cool air of the woods brushing gently against her face. The pine-scented breeze rustled her hair, and the golden-orange sky stretched endlessly above, streaked with clouds like brushstrokes on a canvas. Birds chirped softly, and distant leaves crackled beneath the feet of forest animals unseen. The world felt wide, uncontained—and for the first time in days, she felt free enough to ask.

It's early morning, when the sun hadn't completely risen yet and the sky was painted with different shades of black and orange. Ashley was still asleep and enjoying the cold morning breeze and sounds of birds singing. She enjoy early mornings, She will always say it is the birth of a new day. After a long time of darkness, you can finally see the light, the sky has always been her friend, She talk to the sky as if it exist as a human being. After much struggle, She opened her eyes gently.

But Asher told me that he was a good driver, and that put me at ease. Asher stopped the car at the top of a hill that led to the city. The city lights from below lit up like stars in the sky. In the sky, the moon was half gone. Some constellations were like diamonds embedded in the dark fabric of the vast expanse. It was an extraordinary sight. I covered my body. A cold wind was blowing from the north. The air in the fall seems to be quite bad. Asher took off his jacket and covered my body with his.

I watched her running, dodging Gabe’s wolf Aspen around the field, my eyes barely able to leave her “Her wolf is beautiful” I heard Manuel say, well he isn’t wrong… “Yeah Sky is gorgeous isn’t she” Indie said proudly, “look at her fur when the sunlight catches off it as she moves it has an almost blue shimmer on it, it looks even better under the moonlight”

The northern sky shimmered faintly, threads of pale, colorless light rippling slowly across the horizon like something breathing beneath the world's surface, considerably more unsettling up close than any secondhand description had prepared her for. "That's not natural," Veyra said quietly, having insisted on joining despite her own reservations about returning to active danger. "I've traveled these territories for years, in every form I've ever held. I've never witnessed anything resembling this." "Ashen?" Kael asked. Ashen stared at the shimmering light for a long moment, something grim settling across his features. "It matches the illustration," he said finally. "Almost exactly. The Hollo
