Ball Lightning Novels & Stories

“Oh, you won’t remember, you would have been just a small child. The Lightning Bird would appear, people would die. And it wasn’t just Idixat. It was my home, Isfap, Oren, Itoulp … even among the desert nomads.” Ilyria recalled the superstition she had grown up with. That the Lightning Bird was a portent of chaos, of unravelling, that he was warning or blessing depending on who was telling the story. Well, she had thought it just a superstition. “He killed them?” she asked.

I push harder, desperation fueling my speed as I leap over fallen bodies, my heart pounding in my ears. Suddenly, the air shifts. A loud crack of thunder echoes through the clearing, and I glance up, the sky darkening ominously. Rain begins to pour, soaking us in an instant, but it’s not the rain that catches my attention. It’s the flash of lightning that strikes the ground nearby, illuminating the chaos around us.

cried Ladon again, adding his blast of fire to the whirlwind. The rainstorm was falling even harder, but something made Leon aware. Since earlier, there had been no lightning striking, only rain and the roar of a gale. Leon looked down, he could see almost nothing but the whirlwind and everything that was carried into it. Everything was dark, except for the flames which were now starting to feel hot and approaching him who was above the whirlwind. "There is no storm without lightning," murmured Leon. The instant he shouted towards the sky, his eyes turned bright white and his entire body glowed silvery.

"Your lightning is white. Isn't lightning supposed to be purple?" Jai was also frowning from bewilderment now. "Lightning is purple? Every lightning is white, Darrion." Darrion shook his head, "No, it's not. Lightning is purple, Jai. There is no white lightning. That's what I was mulling over before that guy attacked you." Jas was speechless.

The violet crack of thunder that followed did not just shake the air; it tore the sky apart. A massive, jagged bolt of lightning—not yellow, but a deep, blinding violet—shattered the heavy, oil-black smoke clouds directly above the basin. It did not strike the high mountain ridges or the tall timber scaffolding. It descended in a straight, roaring column of celestial fury, slamming directly into the open gravel square right between the high outcast shield wall and the front line of the Shadow-Claw vanguard. The concussive force of the strike was catastrophic.

Lalaine was shocked when she found Stella laying on the floor, the moon light illuminates her like flittering lights in the night. The crystal orbs surrounds her, slowly lifting her from the ground. She immediately called out Nana, Aeriol, Nathaniel, and Lynx. Aeriol immediately pull out Stella from the illuminating light and lay her to bed. Nathaniel and Lynx looks out the window and saw a beautiful red rose. As if the moon light blessing it. The more light it absorb, the radiant the color gets. Lynx trails back to Leis last words.

“Don’t touch the sides of the structure. I have a feeling a lightning strike will probably electrocute anyone next to the metal.” An enormous crash of thunder announced a near bolt of lightning, whose strike made the storage facility glow internally with blue light; it served as the ground for the bolt’s electrical current. The girls were not harmed, but their hair stood on end in terror. “Millie, the only thing I have read that compares with that eerie blue light is St. Elmo’s fire.” “It was a beautiful blue dancing flame along the walls and roof.” “Yes, and it was deadly, too. Do you hear that low hissing sound?”

So right now he had twice the amount of energy required for a breakthrough. The light in the sky coalesced and became one, forming a large ball of fire that looked like a miniature sun. As if that wasn’t enough, another energy ball began to form right next to it. If the first was an amalgamation of fiery energy, this was one was gathering of the lightning elements. The sky churned and coughed, spitting out large bolts of lightning. The lightning bolts didn’t descend onto the earth. Rather they gathered together and created a ball of energy even larger than the miniature sun.

he thought "Where is Asher?" He turned to ask Liam who shrugged his hands. Then, without warning, the sky exploded in a shower of red and orange flames as a lightning bolt split the heavens in two. The air hums with raw energy as the heavens began to light up, bolts of lightning arcing and dancing across the sky in a fantastic display of power and majesty.

"Look who's here!" Both Kalen and Tarah turned to where the voice came from. However, instead of seeing the notorious owner of the voice, they were greeted by a blinding glow of purple light as strong as that of a lightning strike a while ago. It so strong and dangerous because it was also accompanied by electrifying streaks of purple light as though it really originated from the natural phenomenon that happens in the atmosphere when there was a thunderstorm.
