Itto X Aether Novels & Stories

She hadn’t been mingling with us much lately, probably avoiding me and Edina both—for different reasons. “Hey,” she said suddenly, eyes flicking to Caelora. “I found what you were looking for.” Caelora’s entire posture straightened. “You did? Where?” Lira produced a leather-bound book from behind her back, worn and ancient, its edges gilded in silver. “It’s called The Aether Bond.” That name made my chest go tight. I stepped closer without even thinking. “What is that?” “It’s… a theory,” Caelora said, taking the book like it was holy. She flipped through the pages with careful fingers, scanning the faded script. “It explains how an Aether-bearer can deepen their bond with the source magic. M

YOU TOOK HIM INTO THE AETHER! “Ouch, that’s my head you’re yelling in,” Sophie complained. “I didn’t mean to, it just sort of happened and he didn’t have a crown there.” I grumbled, feeling like a child getting scolded for accidently breaking a dish. ‘When you go to the Aether, you can absorb some of the energy there. What do you think happens when you take a mortal soul there who has access to your essence?’ Bo grumbled at us.

Aether’s voice sliced through the air. “She already made one. By choosing you once.” The guards flare up in anger. I could see Castillo’s wolf stirring in his eyes, glowing faintly. For a split second, I thought he might shift. But then Aether moved towards me, slow and steady. He didn’t touch me, but his presence felt like something more than a cover, like some sort of barrier. And I made my choice, I turned my back on Castillo --- That night, the moon rose a deep blood-red, putting everyone in utmost perplexity

Adom is so impressed he can't bring himself to be mad about it. If anything, it's a little upsetting. Adom looks away and kicks at the ground. He tries to keep his thoughts at bay, he's got a whole day ahead of him and he can't start spiraling this early. Adom feels a hand at his back, Alexander pats him across his shoulder blades and gives him a nod. "Let's go," he says, this time it's Alexander who reaches for Adom's hand and starts leading them away. The tether is vibrant, glowing as it sings between them. Adom can feel its reach from his heart to the tips of his fingers where he connects with Alexander. Adom is overtaken by the sheer force of it, so much so that he has to tug Alexander i

He brings a hand to his chin, thinking. “So like a forcefield,” I tease. “Sure, we’ll just whip one of those up in the IT hub.” Theo rolls his eyes, that charming smile on his lips. “I’m serious. There’s gotta be something. Like land mines, but not something that’ll blow someone up. Just incapacitate them somehow.” I shrug. “Maybe. It’s worth looking into, at least.” He blows out a breath, eyes trained on the ceiling again. “I’ll bring it up to the guys at our meeting next week, see if we can come up with something.”

He was shocked to see Alexis. "What happened?! What did you do this time, Aitan?!" Ares asked. "I didn't do anything!" Aitan exclaimed. Alexis attacked them they both dodge. Alexis used her water power to attack then and Ares used a barrier. Aitan attack her using leaves and it blocked Alexis. Alexis attacked the leaves using water and she attack them with a tornado. "Whoa! Wait!" Ares was about to use a barrier again when Aitan used vines to stop Alexis from moving.

I asked haughtily, quoting her previous words. “What Atlas said—obviously.” She snorted, poking at the steaming water with a slim finger. “He’s right, you’re not as in tune with the element.” “Is there a way to fix that?” I asked, throwing in the last bit for some reassurance. “A fast way?” “When is there ever?” Alette asked skeptically and my headache increased just a bit. “These things usually sort themselves out on their own. When one isn’t fully connecting to their element, there’s always something there blocking them. Those obstacles are removed over time, usually without you ever knowing.”

"Revenge, my dear. Pure, unadulterated revenge. Seraphina wronged me long before she ever crossed your path." Orion frowned. "But what makes you think she won't double-cross you? She's known for her cunning and deceit." Malachi's voice grew cold, "Because this time, I have something she desperately wants." He extended his hand, revealing a small, shimmering vial filled with a liquid that seemed to pulse with life. "The Essence of Aether." Liora gasped. The Essence of Aether was a legend — a potion rumored to amplify a person's powers tenfold.

"I can't feel the brothers. It’s just... you. It’s just us." "The loop is broken, Lixie," I said, leaning my head on his shoulder. Nathaniel appeared at the hatch of the Vesper, his silver-logic suit now a simple suit of grey fabric. He looked at his hands with a look of profound, scientific wonder. "Emma... the Aether didn't vanish. It Integrated. It’s in the water now. It’s in the air. The whole planet is 'Resonating' at a low, sustainable level. We didn't kill the magic. We Democraticized it."

It was a weapon of pure digital energy, capable of disrupting the very fabric of the city’s reality. "The 'Titan’s Fury' was a test of physical power," Peony whispered, her hand brushing against the cold, obsidian surface of the Resonator. "The 'Aether’s Breath' will be a test of existence itself. Metro City will be the first to fall, and from its ashes, a new world will rise. A world where I am the only sovereign."
