City Under Ice Antarctica Novels & Stories

Of course, in addition to being happy, no one would think that they had made a fortune. Next, they worked harder in the latter half of the night. At dawn, the last batch of ice was transported to the center of the city. Suddenly, if someone were to overlook Nightsky City from above, they would be able to see that the center of Nightsky City was completely covered in ice. As far as the eye could see, there were ice cubes everywhere. They were so white that they made people feel cold just by looking at them. Compared to them, the crowd were extremely enthusiastic.

Sky Wilson is the NHL’s unbreakable “Ice Wall”—the goalie who never cracks, never fails, and never lets anyone see behind the mask. Until a public panic attack during a championship game shatters his reputation and puts his starting position at risk. Forced into mandatory therapy with the team’s brilliant new sports psychologist, Dr. Amira Frank, Sky expects another person trying to fix him. He doesn’t expect the only woman who sees the man behind the Wall… and refuses to look away. As the playoffs approach and someone inside the organization leaks his private struggles, Sky must decide how much he’s willing to risk to save his career—and whether the one person who can help him is the on

I just kept moving, trying to outrun the hurt. My feet took me to the hockey arena without thinking. The building looked empty and silent in the late evening. No crowds, no lights on full blast. I found a side door that was somehow unlocked. Maybe the team left it open after practice. I slipped inside. The place felt huge and hollow. My footsteps echoed as I walked out onto the ice. The cold seeped through my shoes right away, but I didn’t care. I sat down right in the middle of the rink. The ice bit through my pants. Tears fell freely now. I hugged my knees, letting it all out. Quiet sobs that echoed a little. Why did I let myself fall for him? The fake relationship turned real for me, but

Wait for me. *** Antarctica was even prettier than I'd imagined. I stayed for two days. I watched penguins. Glaciers. The southern lights. I sent Mom a bunch of pictures. The last one was me standing in front of a giant glacier in a red puffer jacket, smiling so hard my cheeks hurt. The caption said: [Mom, the snow in Antarctica is cleaner than back home.] After I posted it, I turned off my phone and sat in front of the glacier for a long time.

“You have blood on your shoulder.” Benito looked down. “Huh.” Then he shrugged. “Not mine.” That somehow made it worse. The whistle blew. Coach pointed at us. “You are up.” Benito jumped to his feet immediately. I followed. The second my skates hit the ice again, everything else disappeared. The crowd. The pressure. The noise. All of it. There was only the game.

From the observation deck of High King Malakai’s flagship, I watched as the lush greenery of the Eastern Region faded into the jagged, snow-draped peaks of the North. The Imperial City, Crystalia, was a marvel of architectural terror. It wasn’t built; it was grown from the earth in spirals of transparent ice and white marble. As we descended, the city shimmered under the aurora borealis, a haunting dance of neon greens and purples that reflected off the glass-like spires. “Is that where we’re going to live, Mama?” Liam asked, his small hand pressing against the reinforced glass of the airship. He looked smaller here, wrapped in the thick white furs Malakai’s servants had provided.

At times, to taunt him further, Luther and Tristan also enter his dreams, reminding him of how they were able to mock him and help him escape in front of his followers. The plan worked remarkably well. In a matter of weeks, Andrew was able to locate us, and we were prepared for his arrival. Following Luther's suggestions, we all settled in the city of Dark Fall, which is situated in the Antarctic. The name of the city itself says a lot about it. Of course, you won't find it on any human maps since it's a vampire city. Even most vampires are unaware of its existence; only the ancients know about it. It marks a sort of catastrophe that vampires faced, a subject Luther avoided discussing. The t

"We have global observation. We have fresh perspectives. We have what you've been missing for three years—collaboration." "Five minutes," Dr. Vance called. "Propagation at 78%. Some zones still showing instability." "Where?" Sarah asked. "Antarctica. Massive temperature spike. Rising faster than models predicted." "How fast?" "Thirty degrees in three minutes. Still rising. If it continues—" "The ice sheets melt," Daniel said. "Sea level rises globally. Coastal survivor settlements flood." "How many people live in coastal zones?" Maya asked. "Unknown," Chen Li said. "But thousands. Maybe tens of thousands."

Liam said, joining us at the table. “It's fine. Liam, this is Atka, Atka, Liam.” I introduced, watching them shake hands. “So what did I miss?” He asked, eying me. Are you good? Yeah I replied. “Nothing really, just having a discussion with Atka. Anyway, now that you're here, we can finally eat.” I answered, reaching for the bowl of salad. “So Adelaide says you're from Antarctica, how do you cope with the cold?” Liam asked. “It's not that bad actually, or maybe I'm just used to it.” He replied. I watched them get to know each other while I nibbled on my food, so many chaotic thoughts swirling in my head.

Alex holds his ears closed, underlining his words. “You do know, holding the ears closed won’t help much? She’ll probably be squealing through the mind link on top,” I tell him, and we both burst out laughing, knowing it’s totally true. The further we get into the city, the more mushy the snow beneath our feet becomes. Admittedly, this is a part I don’t like about being back in the city. The landscape with it’s snow looked way nicer outside of the city. “You’ll have to visit the outer regions and the coast line. It looks way better there during the winter,” Alex points out while watching me frown at the dirty mush on the ground.
