I found them grounding. The carriage tilted slightly as we descended. Through the crystaled window, I watched Aetherion emerge from the clouds - not a your typical university but a fortress carved from a floating mountain, its wards flaring blue and violet as we approached. The gates were black iron, ancient, etched with runes that pulsed in recognition. "They're opening," Sera breathed. "The wards are opening for you." "They're opening because of the crest," I corrected, though I wasn't certain that was true.

Their leaves were all silver and shiny because of the Aether that was always being released. Malachi said, "The Royal Pack thinks Aether is like a battery that you can use up and throw away."

For a Celestial like me Aether is more like a conversation. You do not take the power Elowen. You are the power."

She felt the pale light inside her respond, pulsing faintly with her heartbeat. Her breath caught. She shouldn’t have this. The word came unbidden, like a whisper carried on the mist. Aether. Her skin prickled. The name rang in her mind, heavy with warning. She had heard it only once before, buried in hushed whispers when she was a child. Aether—the element that no longer existed. A force erased from history because it was too dangerous, too uncontrollable. The stories had said that those who held it were cursed, destined to bring ruin. That was why they had been destroyed.

He poured the seeds, thousands of tiny, obsidian-colored pearls, into the center of the basin. They looked pathetic against the vast, dead concrete. "Sophia... release the Aether," Leo whispered into his comms. A mile above them, in the heart of the Spire, Sophia slammed the final override. The Aether-Core let out a sub-harmonic roar that shook the very bedrock of Neo-Tokyo. A bolt of pure, emerald lightning traveled down the copper shunt, hitting the center of the basin with the force of a falling star. The Violent Harvest

Aimee answers sheepishly as a shy smile forms on her lips. "If that is what Her Highness wishes," Airel responds as she curtsies at her. Aimee has managed to get used to being called with such respect. Although she wasn't comfortable at first given the time, she spent getting disrespected at the academy and being bullied by the students there. Although, every time she tried to recall the events that happened on Earth, she will only find herself blankly staring in front of her... unable to recall any clear memories.

Dominic growled playfully against her skin. Ahead of them, the path opened into the grand center of the gardens: the Aether-Core Basin. At the center of a circular floating terrace sat an ancient, crystalline fountain that drew pure, unrefined atmospheric Aether Qi directly from the mesosphere, channeling it into a pool of liquid starlight that fed the surrounding gardens.
