Grey Clouds Novels & Stories

The clouds above were pitch black, with the occasional thunder crawling in and out like it was playing hide and seek. When Gorshe and I got too close to the clouds, it started to rain. It’s like the Remoire was trying to change the weather that way when it sensed that we were coming.

I teleported to his realm as what I met made my eyes widen in fear. The air was thick with a cold, oppressive presence that seemed to press in on all sides. The sky above was an endless expanse of twilight, dark clouds swirling ominously as if they were alive. Shadows twisted and writhed on the ground, forming shapes that seemed almost sentient, watching me with an eerie awareness. Three blood moons stood In the sky.

Not until Ilsa murmurs, “Fucking hells.” Above us, the sky begins to shift. I blink, thinking it’s just my vision adjusting, but then Erik lifts his head sharply. “You see that too?” We all look up. The sky is all fucked-up. A pale green hue is bleeding into the horizon. Sickly, luminous, as if the world is bruising from the inside. It pulses once. Then again. And then the clouds shudder.

As I stood on the edge of the Huffner Bridge overlooking the vast expanse of the ocean, my eyes were immediately drawn to the horizon where the sky met the water. The clouds were heavy and gray, like a blanket of sorrow draped over the world. They hung low in the sky as if struggling to contain the weight of their tears. Beneath the melancholy clouds, the sea was a study in contrast. It was a dark, foreboding expanse of water, but was alive with movement, with waves crashing against the shore with fierce determination.

“Very nicely done. And there we have it. Isn’t it pretty?” Overhead, clouds were forming, rolling in the wind, their movements unnatural in speed and formation, seeming to concentrate at one point not far from where they were driving. As the clouds gathered, they darkened, taking the sky from a mild blue to a delicate grey, and then to a bruised black and purple above that singular point.

As the mournful toll of the church bells resonated through the air, a somber atmosphere enveloped the scene. Thick, gray clouds hung low in the sky, casting a shadow over the grieving congregation that had gathered for the burial ceremony. The weather seemed to mirror the collective sorrow that filled the hearts of those in attendance.

The sun is hidden behind the clouds, and the day is gloomy and gray. It reminds me of funeral days. I call them that because this is the kind of weather that I've always associated with funerals. I don't mind a cloudy day, but this is different. It's heavy, like the sky is buckling beneath the weight of the clouds. It worsens my mood, and I close the curtains sharply, eager to be rid of the view before me.

The sky over Ember Hollow was painted in hues of grey and bruised purple, a twilight that seemed to linger long after the sun had officially set. Clouds hung low and swollen, threatening a downpour that refused to come. In the distance, the hills trembled—not with weather, but with something ancient moving beneath them. Something that had been waiting for the veil to thin.

Chapter-68 (Letter to Cath) Cath quickened her pace as the clouds began to gather in the sky. Up to now, the sky had been postcard-perfect, but it was changing. The beautiful cocktail-blue shade was beginning to darken into gravel-gray. Large pillows of cloud were forming, blotting out the old-gold color of the sun.
