High Sky Adventures Novels & Stories

Ava's POV I glanced at my watch to check the time, then shifted my gaze towards the speaker who was introducing the new drone we were developing to the directors. "....and with all of these advancements, our latest model, SkyHigh, will feature its own lighting and camera system, ensuring minimal impact from adverse weather conditions," he explained, his tone assertive. "Additionally, it will boast robust protection against hacking, an extended flight duration, and a sensor base to maintain stability. SkyHigh is set to become the near-perfect drone that society has envisioned. Thank you," he concluded, prompting applause from the audience. Shortly after the conference meeting was concluded, C

Yet… no one has come. Skye took a deep breath to calm himself and to not let Hierro and Iero notice that he is also nervous, which will make them feel even more worried. “I will go and see.” He spoke. Hierro and Iero nodded. “Be careful.” Hierro spoke. Skye’s unease slightly disappeared after hearing that Hierro is worried for him. He smiled. “I will.” He said before he flew to the sky. Skye landed on top of the boulder, making his vision higher. He looked at the surroundings and didn’t see the thunder and lightning. But, there were some arrows stuck on top of the tall trees, making a trail. Yet, it suddenly stopped.

She tried not to stare. “If they have wings, why don’t they fly?” Ru asked, turning her head away from a beautiful woman with long black hair who passed by, her white wings tucked behind her. Her coat had two slits in the back of it, sort of like the openings for sleeves. “We can levitate, and we don’t,” Rider pointed out. “True,” Ru muttered, although that didn’t quite answer her question. She decided to let it go. They had assembled on the sidewalk outside of Sky’s office building, which reached so high up into the atmosphere Ru suspected it would reach the clouds if there were any. The sky was clear and blue, and Ru wondered what was above them.

Knox snapped from somewhere behind him. Cyrus burst into laughter. “Yes you are.” Then Skye appeared on the screen smiling brightly, looking healthier and happier than ever. “We have to go now,” she said excitedly. “Our hot air balloon ride is about to start.” “Hot air balloon? I promise I'm not jealous," I rolled my eyes. Skye chuckled, "Why would you be? You're literally on a hundred million dollar yacht with the love of your life." "Well you have a point..." I smiled at her. "Be safe, okay.”

Anyone who looked at them could instantly feel the mystical air he exuded. The apprentices quickly backed away at the sight of these two. They could feel the heavy energy around them, as they got pushed. It was truly hard to breathe from all of this. All this was the work of the handsome lad. Although he was not a threat, the energy that he emanated was enough to send shivers down their spines. “Is this one of the Academy’s strongest peak’s apprentices? “I know this guy, it’s Chad Skylark from Pride Peak, AKA the ‘King of the Skies’ Skylark!”

Zeva finally replied. "Hi, I'm Aron, Sky's friend. I happen to be running a business at Epic Sportfishing, and I invited Sky to try out our facilities and help with promotion, hehe. Since it's more fun if Sky doesn't come alone, I'm inviting you too. I really hope you'll accept my invitation. How about it? Are you free this afternoon?" Sky's friend extended the invitation directly to Zeva, following Sky's instructions. Before answering, Zeva gave Sky an unfriendly look. He responded with a grin and raised two fingers as a peace sign.

A few yards ahead of me, the ground suddenly opened up and a massive wall of ice shot up from out of nowhere and flew up into the sky. I was damn grateful all of us were at least on the same side and there wasn’t a stray person stuck on their own. I fumbled backwards and into Skyler who was also trying to get out of the way too. *Holy shit, it's a big ass igloo,* Skyler said over mind-link. I gaped up at this massive wall, it had to be a quarter mile high, but I couldn’t even really see the top. I looked to either side and I couldn’t tell where it even ended. Raul shot up into the air to investigate.

Making sure my body was flawless. "Ok. Let's get started shall we? Skylar this is Clarissa, your new partner. Clarissa, this is Skylar. Congratulations, you have now been promoted to romantic couples sessions and will be partners from now on." Our eyes locked, there was a bit of tension between us at this point. He was so damn hot. He smiled mischievously noticing my rosy cheeks. "Hi." His husky voice made me want to melt. Wait, did I hear Kelsie right?

However, he soon forgot about his discomfort when a more stunning scene greeted him back. The sight was memorable. The night sky was beyond pretty and incomparable to the modern one from his world. Up here, the air was fresh and refreshing, unpolluted by haze and smoke. Nature vibrantly expressed its worth, spread the crispness everywhere it could go. The glittering stars shone with their brightest light and snows incessantly dropping down from the sky, just like the drizzle of the rain. Seeing the scenery with his naked eyes was amazing. He was at a loss for word.

However, they gathered around before dispersing without touching my body. The sky burial practitioners were surprised by this. "The vultures aren't eating the corpse!" They exchanged looks. "Only those who have committed evil deeds are forsaken by the vultures during a sky burial." I looked at the vultures who hovered, unwilling to leave yet also not eating my corpse. A bitter smile painted my lips. It seemed Gideon had been right all along. I was an evil person who didn't even deserve to have a sky burial. The sky burial practitioners looked at my body, feeling distressed. Gideon said helplessly, "Let's collect the corpse and contact her family to pick her up. Since she's an Emperian, she c
