Exploding Suns Novels & Stories

[Amaryllis] [At the time of the attack] The sky glows like sunrise, the power of several missiles exploding above us, tearing apart the near perfect dark of our moonlit night. Dawn is still several hours away, but as the air burns behind us, it looks like the sun is about to eclipse the horizon. It is equal parts beautiful and terrifying.

* *Boom* Outside of the cottage, Delores was speaking to the Dragon Council’s members when kylie’s aura forced itself out into the world and ascended into the clouds. The sun was swiftly covered by a red sun that domineering asserted its dominance and took its place, and all who saw it and understood the stars, knew what it meant. “Another Destruction Star has been born,” the Imperial Advisor frowned and said. “This Destruction Star is of the Sovereign grade. That is the Red Sun of Destruction.” The Imperial Strategist added, his expression as ugly as it could possibly be.

"The 'Solstice' mirrors were primitive compared to yours." "They don't want the tech; they want the focus," Vespera replied. "They are going to use the mirrors to fire a concentrated beam of Void-energy into your sun. They intend to force a supernova. When the star dies, the 'Null-Field' will be incinerated, and they will feast on the remains of your world." I looked at the triplets, who had moved closer to me. The weight of the crown had never felt heavier. We had fought so hard to reach the sky, only to find the sky was a battlefield where the sun itself was a target.

​The sun was bleeding. ​Through the transparent probability-fields of the Architect Lead-Ship, Leo Vane watched as the red vein, the "Cain-Infection", raced across the surface of the star. It wasn't a slow transition. Fueled by the "Sun-Eater" engine and the sacrificial "Pure-Resonance" of the Architects, the solar plasma was being rewritten into a bio-organic slurry of red light and "Blood-Ether."

Not only the view, but he also felt the warmth. “The sun? Um… According to my knowledge, the sun represents a strong man, mostly a warrior, your imperial highness. Maybe this symbolizes an arrival of a man into your life.” the royal astrologer was confused too. “What??? A man?? No way!!!” Danyel screamed. A man into his life? Like a lover or something? He felt disgusted. Understanding his thoughts and fearing Danyel would punish him, the royal astrologer tried to explain it in a better way.

She closes her eyes as if to shut out the images from penetrating her mind. Placing my hand on the small of her back, I draw the emotions of heartache and sorrow from her core. I reposition myself, my gaze returning to the image, and a low growl escapes my lips. A little red dot appears in the blue planet's center. As the atmospheres are stripped away, everything rapidly turns red-hot, and as everything collapses, the planet burns brighter than a dozen suns. I recoil from the sight, my eyes narrowing as I will myself to continue looking, and suddenly the planet implodes, scattering the dark matter over the Milky Way.

The sound of trumpets bellowed, sky trumpets, a phenomenon many had only heard tell of. Only Atum knew their origin, and he was not speaking. Simply watching as the world attempted to heal. 'They will much work to do,' he thought, glancing up briefly at the sun, swelling and pulsating as if it might explode. Where it was night, the moon would be doing the same. 'All will have memory of an earthquake, or some other disaster to explain it. It would be far too dangerous for all to remember the reality.' The sun bulged, stretching far and wide, before snapping back to its normal size, still tinged with a hint of bloody red that smeared its rays.

It grew to the size of a small sun in no time, its light blinding and it lit up everything nearby. "Run... Run!" Everyone started running away as if they had all gone crazy. Boom! The little sun exploded in the sky with a power that could shake the earth. The blinding light of the explosion lit up the sky. A storm was raging, its power was comparable to the mountainous waves caused by the explosion of a torpedo. Boom! The hills nearby exploded after being hit by the storm. Their tops were all flattened. Trees that were hundreds of years old were reduced to pieces in the storm.

The news that the Hunger-Prime had gotten past the planetary defenses to nest within the Sun turned the morning of the "New Exodus" into a race against time. If the Swarm consumed the star's core, the collapse would wipe out the entire system before the first transport could reach orbit. "They're using the Sun as a forge," Kael told the gathered leaders in the scorched remains of the Embassy. "They aren't just eating the light. They're using the solar pressure to compress entropic matter into something denser. Something they can use to 'Reset' the entire sector."

the leader screamed over the roar of the water, "then he will burn in the light of the first dawn!" He twisted the top of the canister. A blinding, searing beam of concentrated solar energy erupted from the device, a Solar Flare, a weapon designed by the Council specifically to incinerate creatures of the night. It wasn't fire, it was pure, distilled sunlight, aimed directly at Calhoun’s back. "NO!" I screamed. I didn't think. I didn't calculate. Instead I threw myself in front of Calhoun. The light hit me like a physical blow. It felt like my skin was being peeled back, like my very marrow was boiling.
