Cloud X Aerith Novels & Stories

Morning follows night is a sure phrase.So it went with Enkanasa village,on a soft June day,and drought could be smelt in the air.July cold would be coming in soon to envelop the face of the earth.Cows would smell rain from far,and lift their noses in anticipation.The air was filled with anxiety and the village got up to an amazing new chant that rendered the air,women clinging to top notch voices,singing a song of birth.Small children would be given sugar to lick and small sips of milk as an approval of the new birth.It was a big surprise to the villagers,as they moved out to see who the new guest was.

Pretty. The moment that thought comes into my head I scold myself. Each of these Alpha’s are blessed with looks that make anyone want to get on their knees and thank the Moon for creating them. So I force a polite smile onto my face, and take the invitation from his hands, pretending like I need to check it to ensure it is him. Luna Thea, his mate, sends me a soft smile. She has eyes like him - a swirling violet colour full of mystery and unknown.

"You are running yourself into the ground, Nyx. If you keep pushing your body like this without rest, your core will collapse before the next full moon." Aeris was the head healer of Ironclad Keep—a gentle, middle-aged woman with warm hazel eyes, silver-streaked brown hair braided neatly over her shoulder, and a gentle presence that made me feel like I wasn't an outcast for the first time since arriving at the fortress.

"Silas Thorne’s sister. And the only person in this family who actually understands how to finish what Arthur started." Maya struggled to sit up, her hand instinctively shielding her stomach. "Where is Julian?" "My nephew is currently occupied with the global blackout he caused," Aris said, her eyes scanning Maya with a clinical, detached fascination. "He thinks the Cloud is the future. He’s a child playing with a toy he doesn't understand. The true power isn't in the sky, Maya. It’s in the marrow."

Private Dragon Aerie, High Atmosphere** Lucian’s aerie is hidden high—above the cloud-oceans, where the air is thin and crisp, tasting of sharp ice crystals that melt on the tongue and raw, breathless freedom, the constant wind a low, intimate moan against the walls, carrying the faint, electric tang of high-altitude ozone mixed with the distant salt spray from drifting mists far below.

I said, steady and sure. “She’s following.” Ares POV The first lungful of air I dragged into my chest burned worse than the ocean. Not because I was hurt. Because the second I tasted the real sky again… I felt the goddess MOVE. Not in the water behind us. Not in the realm we’d escaped. In this world. The mortal one. She rose after us. Clara staggered to her feet beside me, lightning sputtering like a dying candle. Aria was still on her knees in the sand, moonfire trembling under her skin, her hair soaked silver against her cheeks.

Alpha Claymore. The alpha grabbed Ariadne from the water and threw her onto the ground of the clearing. She wasn’t breathing. “I-” Archer whimpered, suddenly all too aware of what he’d done. “Shut the hell up!” Alpha Claymore screamed as he went to start doing chest compressions on Ariadne. “I…” Archer watched, horrified. A few moments later Ariadne woke up, coughing and gasping for air. Alpha Claymore turned her over, hitting her back to get the water out of her lungs. When she was sobbing and coughing the alpha picked her up. He glared over his shoulder at Archer.

“You’re the last one.” Outside the lab, dawn was breaking. The world beyond the shattered windows was silent, empty but real. For the first time, Clara didn’t question it. She stepped toward the light, barefoot, feeling the wind cold, raw, alive on her face. Behind her, the machines shut down one by one, their lights dimming into nothing. And far above, hidden in the clouds, a faint whisper of code rippled through the sky NEW SEED INITIALIZED. VERSION: THIRTEEN-A.

“I know we came together because I needed your assistance.” “Of course, I’ll still be your friend,” Arthur said instantly. “We can still have fun together without trying to bring down someone.” “Thank you,” Clara said softly. “I’ll leave you to what you need to do.” She ended the call and moved over to her window seat. The sky outside was oddly blue for the time of the year and there weren’t any dark clouds in the sky. It felt like the weather was celebrating her victory. “Clara,” Caiden said from her side.

Amelia nodded her head, but placed the phone back on its cradle. “That was great, Amelia,” I said to her. The teenage girl was still unconscious, and I looked at the other children in the room. The blue flames started in my hands, and I looked at Amelia. “Týna virðar.” Forget us. I closed the office door behind me, and walked outside to Kiran’s Navigator where he sat in the backseat holding James across his lap. Malachi was in the driver’s seat, and I swallowed past the lump in my throat.
