Silkwing Base Novels & Stories

Still… I felt the shift. A storm doesn’t stop just because you outlasted it. But you learn to build stronger windows. After work that evening, I stopped by my locker and pulled out a small velvet pouch. Inside was the kitten charm I’d sculpted the week before, a tiny clay cat with etched wings and glazed fur. No bigger than a matchbook. My thumb brushed over the ridges I’d carved into the tail. It was light in my hand, but meaningful. I slipped it into my coat pocket and zipped up against the wind.

Zydan tried to convince me to move into his mountainside house, but I refused to live in the house that Arielle had resided in. I found a house near the Renegade Base. When I purchased the Base, the house wasn’t for sale, but it went on the market the same day I started searching for a house. It was perfect in almost every way. It was a ten-bedroom resort-style vacation home. The previous owners moved out and planned to use it as an Airbnb, but there was a death in the family, and they decided to sell it. It was only a few miles from the Base, and I had Eclipse work with a crew to dig an underground tunnel to the home. It would be used as a second location to the Base for speciaBaseaining an

It has six sides—or grounds, for that matter, housing the different groups of entities in the realm. The downside base houses the different marine and aquatic entities such as mermaids, massive Kraken, water dragons. Secondly, the upside base was the breeding ground of all flying entities from fairies, birdmen, winged horses, and many more. Four wings stand vertically on the edges of upside and downside bases. The first one, the north wing, was constantly freezing there, where ice creatures and entities live. The south wing—a desert, was where some terrestrial entities live, preferring extreme warm conditions.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.” The base came into sharper focus—a hulking, metallic structure built atop a series of submerged pylons. Bright floodlights illuminated the exterior, cutting through the darkness and casting long, eerie shadows across the water. “Looks heavily guarded,” Sage said, her sharp eyes scanning the perimeter. “Standard patrols,” Damian replied, his voice steady. “We stick to the blind spots and stay out of sight.” The boat slowed as they approached the underside of the base. Damian killed the engine, letting the boat drift silently toward a maintenance hatch partially submerged in the water.

"Erase our memories." The next day, Selena amputated a third of her pinky finger and, with Julia's help, preserved it inside a pitch-black two-inched tall crystal. It took her three whole days to finally perfect the talisman, black and with silvery dust inside glowing white then gold every now and then. She fashioned it into a necklace and was about to find a way to send it to Wisteria in exchange for the information she needed when on the fourth day, something unexpected happened.

I looked like a blade that had just been sharpened. ​The Gift of the Midnight Silk ​When I finally climbed out of the water, Kaelen was waiting with a garment that looked like it had been woven from the night sky itself. It was "Midnight Silk"—a fabric made from the cocoons of the Shadow-Moths that lived in the Dead Boundary. ​It was black, but as the light hit it, it shimmered with ripples of violet and deep blue. It was cold to the touch, but as I slipped it over my head, it warmed instantly, molding to my curves like a second skin.

Hayley murmured against Katelyn's soft mouth. Hayley released Katelyn and picked up a vibrator. "I've fantasized about using this one on you. I bought it with you in mind," Hayley explained. "It's pretty, feminine, and classy. It's called the Butterfly." Hayley held up a long vibrator on a solid base which contained the controls. It had a long, pearly-white shaft, the base of which was clear and filled with actual pearls. Near the base was a butterfly with wings and antennae. It was made of a soft, jelly-like material. Katelyn looked at it in amazement.

Because from her back— Light began to shimmer. Soft at first. Then brighter. Golden particles gathered like fireflies before dawn. Fabric at her shoulders shifted slightly as something pushed outward. The faint outline of wings began forming beneath the glow. Saraya kept crying, unaware. Behind her, magnificent golden wings slowly erupted—large, radiant, translucent. They unfurled gracefully, glowing like sunlight through glass. The entire hall fell silent in awe. King Basil straightened. Phoenix’s jaw dropped. Vidhant whispered, “Whoa.”

If Silas was dead, I was completely alone in a city controlled by monsters. I grabbed the dropped submachine gun, tucked Julian firmly against my hip, and sprinted down the narrow, concrete corridor. The emergency lights here were powered by an isolated kinetic battery, casting long, thin green shadows along the damp walls. This tunnel ran two miles beneath the metropolitan grid, bypassing the standard sewer systems and connecting directly to the underground basement of Vance Industries’ downtown tech headquarters. It was a route designed for a ghost escape.

He was genuinely impressed. “Thank you,” Wess answered, “We are to begin with, a gaming company with very little achievements. This technology we created is a hot cake in our hands and we don’t have the ability to test it to our full capacity. But what we know how to do is draw a crowd.” “The artist, KL, are people going to pay attention if she joined the project?” Henri asked and Michael glanced at him for a second. He knew that Henri could not hold himself back from asking about Kayla. He knew it was going to come up one way or another.
