Skylight Novels & Stories

It’s Sunday, I shouldn’t be up so early, but the view from the window had me sitting up from the bed without a second thought. The room faces East, so it had a perfect view of the sunrise along the horizon. The sky turned shades of orange and yellow, fading into a bright blue after several minutes. Aurora. Dawn. The view I have right now is what my name means – the color of the sky before the sun rises. Should I leave here before anyone gets up? I could leave a thank you note for them on the counter or something? Sneaking out of the room as quietly as possible with my heels in hand, I walked down the hallway only two steps before I saw Kiran on the couch a distance away from me, sitting up a

he added and stopped when sapphire eyes rested mischievously on him, guessing his thought. “A private elevator, my darling?” His darkly handsome features were slashed with vibrant amusement. “Oh, yes… Definitely, a private elevator, mon amour,” he agreed and kissed Lara deeply.

My kind of plan. She let go of me and edged forward. I followed. There was a tapping sound coming from up ahead. As we got closer, the small window in the sloping roof flickered as shadows passed in front of it. Someone was definitely up there. From the doorway, there was enough light to see the skylight quite clearly. It wasn’t very big, but big enough to allow a person to come through if they kept their arms close to their body or over their head. A soft metallic glimmer revealed the latch that was firmly closed. The wooden frame trembled as it was worked on from the other side.

they muttered and looked at the transparent film stopping the big ball of light. “Yeah. A barrier I made.” Skye told them. “A barrier?” they muttered. “Yes. It helps me block attacks just like this.” Skye said and pointed to the big ball of light outside the barrier. “But, how did you…?” Kulv asked. Skye looked at him. “I discovered it earlier when Laggas, Sybb, and I fought against the witch.” He answered. “That damn witch was really slippery and when we thought that it was Laggas who would be attacked, she changed directions to change targets and shot at Sybb with her power.” He said and looked at Sybb, who nodded in confirmation.

SKYE'S POV The silver flame in the forest didn't just burn; it seemed to pulse with a rhythmic, organic life. Each flash of light sent a corresponding shiver through the mark on my shoulder, a searing, rhythmic ache that felt less like a permanent brand and more like a second heartbeat I had forgotten I possessed. Outside the sprawling glass wall, the world was a void of black, jagged pines and frozen peaks, yet that singular, unnatural glow cut through the darkness like a beacon of ancient, forgotten power.

DANTE. The building had been lifeless for years before tonight. The scent gave it away—rust and stagnant water mingled with chemicals. Three of the original six skylights were missing, leaving gaping openings in the ceiling through which cold air poured in like columns. The remaining glass in the walls was coated in black grime accumulated over decades. Two floodlights set up by Viper's men illuminated the room, making everything turn stark yellow light and deep black shadow, with no soft transitions between the two.

Skylar, who had softened for love, was already dead in that cold sea. "Install it." I stared into Luke's crazed eyes. "Night Owl was always meant to be a monster."

Isolde, her hand hovering above the shimmering ground, replied, "It's beautiful, but also disorienting. We must remain focused." Elysia, her gaze fixed on the crystal, observed, "It's glowing brighter, pulsating with energy. We must be getting closer." Malachi, with a hint of unease in his voice, said, "With every step, I feel memories, sensations... It's overwhelming." Niamh, offering Malachi a reassuring touch, whispered, "Hold onto the present. Remember who you are, who we all are." Suddenly, the crystal in Ezra's hand emitted a bright beam of light, illuminating a pathway ahead. At the end of this luminous path stood a grand archway, beyond which a cavern shimmered, filled with interweav

Aerian screeched. It was so damn dark where she was it was almost impossible to see her. Even with my wolf vision I could just barely make her out. The only part of her that was easily seen were her eyes. They were glowing brightly. There were three dead wolves lying in front of her. The others were standing there snarling at her as she stood over Benny’s unmoving form. I let out a growl as more wolves descended on us. I heard someone yell at me. As I looked over my shoulder, I saw a wolf lunging towards me. Before it could land on my back a stream of the brightest light, I had ever seen hit it. The wolf flew several feet way hitting a tree. When I looked at the wolf it was burnt to a crisp.

A bright, light-blue light flashed out of his hands with force, sending the wolf flying into the air. Skylar rolled onto his hands and knees before quickly standing, just in time before the next rogue launch for him. Skyler pulled his right hand back behind his ear before thrusting it forward, and the same light blue light shot out of his hand, creating a shockwave effect and briefly blurring the lines of reality. Time slowed down before speeding up, and when the rogue hit the now invisible wall that came from the Omega's hand, blood splattered as his face bounced off it, and he flew backwards.
