High Sky Adventures Novels & Stories

Tarnished and wooden is this house, Old and rickety, the yard, sodden with black mud that sticks and itches like lice, dark and smelly, yet the sky is blue, pale blue, it is ours, ours, ours. Strife hath no shade and shame no tinge. Anger is crismon, and green is fun, but the sky is blue, pale blue, and it is ours, ours, ours, We make certain that the constellations are ours. Ours. Ours—Amanda.

And the way he was speaking without misleading me with his words, I got confused. “I am not one of the enemies. I owe Mister Nahart a big favor, so I am here to return that favor. I believe she will be able to explain everything when you get into the safe place,” he said while pointing his chin at Skye’s direction as she was sliding down the chute held by Gab. “She was scared to slide down so, I had to slide down along with her,” Gab said in an apologetic tone. “This is why I don’t like going to amusement parks, I hate heights. How unfortunate of me to be in a luxury hotel but taking the laundry chute to get me down instead of a comfortable elevator!” Skye scoffed as she dusted her butt.

She looked away from him and stared thoughtfully at the pond. She'd taken the plunge to make this trip solo. Having finally broken free from her dead-end job and her stagnant relationship. She was 27, single and travelling abroad. When she boarded the plane in Sydney she told herself that she wanted a real adventure, and should the opportunity present itself; she wouldn't hesitate. Callum looked like an adventure. "You live here in the city?" "Temporarily. For the duration of my current job. Then home to Scotland. And you?" "Visiting. My first time."

The officers paled and broke out in cold sweat. “Let’s not discuss that any further. It’s all in the past.” Ethan interrupted Liam. “I didn’t call you here to hear you say these things. I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to Sky Peak.” “Sky Peak?” Liam was stunned. Sky Peak was Riveria’s tallest and most famous mountain, known for its towering peak and year-round snow.

Of course, hundreds of thousands of dollars wasn't too much if it meant that the customers could feel like they were dining on a cloud. At least, that was how Austin saw it. As he took the elevator and arrived at the top floor, where Skyhigh Dining was, he could hear the melodious sound of a piano piece. The surroundings were flawless thanks to the luxurious and elegant decorations. There were large floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, and the sky could be seen without any obstructions. Also, clouds were floating just outside the windows. Austin followed the waiter to the best spot to watch the clouds, which he had booked beforehand. Cecily was already sitting there, waiting.

As I leaped onto a rising shelf of white stone, the world of the pod bay vanished beneath a shroud of thick, purple mist. I climbed. My fingers bled as they gripped the porous, sharp edges of the bone. My lungs, so weak only an hour ago, were burning with a new, frantic strength. Every time I thought I would slip, a gust of wind would catch me, pushing me upward as if the mountain itself wanted me at the summit. I reached the High Ridge. It wasn't a dream. I could see the Spires of the Architects in the far distance, their lights flickering and dying as the Bone Cathedral’s energy drained the grid. But here, on the peak, the sky was a swirling vortex of black and gold.

Nova was waving a red-and-white flag, jumping up and down in excitement. The results flashed onto the giant screen. At the very top of the leaderboard, one name stood out clearly: Lyra Hawthorne. Cheers and screams erupted everywhere. I stepped out of the car, removed my helmet, and shook out my long hair. "Oh my God, the girl really won! Lyra Hawthorne? Who is she? I've never seen her before!" "That's that insanely talented female driver, right? Haven't you heard about her?" "She's amazing! I'm officially her fan!"

He called and drew on his wings, lifting Villa up who tried to conceal her panic as well. Skyler danced on the spot looking up to them, she couldn't she didn't know how! She managed it against Helga but only for a short burst! She tried remembering it and managed to open her wings but like a kite she got blown from the balcony, screaming she went down to the water but instincts made her beat her wings and managed to recover. After getting the hang of it she beat them as hard and fast as she can until she reached through the clouds, the stary night opened up and she gasped at its breathtaking clarity.

Within the hour, Madison and I arrived at the high-altitude aviation club, ascending into the upper atmosphere inside a specialized pack helicopter designed for mountain drops. "Brooke, has your wolf ever breached the upper air currents for a canopy drop before?" Madison asked, her eyes tracking the sharp, bright excitement vibrating through my aura. "Never, but my animal has always hungered to experience the true freedom of the high peaks." My stomach executed a nervous somersault of pure adrenaline and primal fear as I peered through the open hatch down at the jagged, mist-shrouded wilderness of the Barnes mountains. The ancient pine forests looked like tiny patches of moss from this stagg

There were no more lies or betrayals around me, only loyal subordinates and like-minded friends. My phone chimed again. This time, it was a message from my best friend. "Caitlyn, want to go to the newly opened world-renowned restaurant tonight? I heard the head chef is super handsome!" I looked out the window at the azure sky.
