Nahida X Aether Novels & Stories

Blair made her voice loud and clear for Gavin and Lady Monika to understand which they both nodded in agreement. “Great. See you next week, Clara,” Blair said as she and Cordelia hopped on their carriage. “This is going to be perfect!” Lady Monika told Gavin. “This is going to be a nightmare,” I whispered to myself. — 1913, London, England As the days passed, I was sitting on my study desk when I remembered that today was the trip to the zoo. I already bought myself a ticket to New York but I wanted to contemplate and to think about my decision before I actually go there. But then the memory of Lady Monika and Gavin alone in another country annoys me so much that I decided to go. I tidied up

Lena's POV. I hummed a sweet, melodious tune as I walked down from the market with a bag of groceries in my hand. I couldn't get his voice out of my mind. I was excited. Too excited. He promised to marry me, he promised to make me his Luna. And even as I silently flung open the door, I could hear his voice in my head. Literally. “Yes! oh god! Yes! Come on, fuck the shit out of me” a loud moan snapped me out of my head. I froze looking straight ahead at the couch.

"That's not true, Alex. I don't shape shift. I never have," "You don't shape shift or you haven't, yet?" Alexander asked. "I haven't shape shifted, yet." "But you just did so a few moments ago. I'm not blind." "That's not true," "Then why are you naked?" Athena said nothing. She stared down at her naked body like she was fully aware of her nakedness before him. "Close your eyes, Alexander." After closing his eyes, he asked. "Why though?" "I'm naked. You shouldn't see me naked. You never have,"

David, Sophie and Alpha Jones rushed at both of them. David and Alpha Jones couldn't hurt a hair on both of them. Alpha Nolan moved back a bit. He flung his hands towards them. They were all blown away instantly. "I used it" Alpha Nolan was mesmerized. "I am a god" he cried happily. Sophie stood up. She flung her hands towards Andes the same way Alpha Nolan had done. A strong wind also blew both Andes and Alpha Nolan away. Andes got up. His face was darkened with utter sadness.

Moments later, [Rina P.O.V] The corridors of Aetherion were no longer a gauntlet of whispers and sneers. Today, they felt like a runway. My black stiletto boots clicked against the polished stone with a rhythmic, predatory grace, each step punctuated by the sway of my high silver ponytail. Beside me, Dahlia was vibrating with enough energy to power a small city, her Ventus Yellow cape fluttering like a canary's wings.

Tina told Nazrene. Belatedly, Haneul noticed that Tina was in her fifth-dimensional form. "Has she always been this rude?" Nazrene asked Haneul, but she was still smiling. "It's nice to finally meet you in person, Christina. Let me walk you through the process of fashioning a vessel for yourself." Nazrene said, reaching out her hands to the Mirror. Tina took them with her own. "Take a deep breath. Now, what do you know of the Aether and Aer?" Nazrene said,

The guards shifted nervously. Luke’s jaw tightened. “Answer the question.” The gray eyes returned to Lily. “I am what remains when heaven and hell exhaust themselves.” Silence stretched. The city beyond the courtyard held its breath. “You may call me Aether,” the figure finally said. Not a name. A designation. A function. The word struck something deep inside her chest. Aether. The space between. The unseen medium through which light traveled. Not light itself. Not darkness. The field that allowed both to exist.

During the meal, when Yana's friends arrived, they greeted them politely and then called Yana away. Nadia glanced in the direction where she had just seen Sonia, then gossiped with Candice, "How come Sonia is having a meal with Xavier? Didn't you say that he's not a good person?" Candice casually replied, "Perhaps. It’s been four or five years since the cooperation between Horizon Holdings and Aether Corporation." "Even if we don't know about that, the rest is hard to say. Didn't you see Xavier holding flowers in his hands?" Nadia gloated, "I think Alex should feel threatened by now."

Rideten, Present Time The aether weaved like water around Aislen’s legs, and yet did not wet her. She leaned down, sticking her fingers into what appeared to be liquid, but as she lifted her hand, it clung to her hand in strands like hair or cobweb which shimmered and seemed to squirm in her hands. She let them sift off her fingers back into the ocean and lifted her eyes, searching for any land. There was nothing in sight, the aether ocean blending into the faintly pink sky on the horizon in all directions. At least the aether wasn’t deep, she thought, only coming to mid-thigh. So far, at least – she didn’t entirely trust that she wouldn’t step off a ledge and end up swimming in it. Could a

Layered. She turned to Null. “You remembered me.” Null nodded, eyes wide. “I think… I was waiting for you.” A shudder ran through the ground. From the distance, an echoing howl. Not animal. Not human. “They’re not done,” Aurora said, kicking the final agent off her and rejoining them. Sigma stood unaided, blinking into the light. “Aetheris won’t stop until it absorbs everything Eve left behind. That includes me. And you, Damien.”
