Under The Earth Over The Sky 소설 & 이야기

He stood up after finishing the last bite and looked up at the artificial starry sky while doing a cross-body shoulder stretch. Each floor has its own artificial sky and it copies what on the surface looks like, but only the scenery and no other additional objects are included in the illusion. Under the floors of each of the four underground cities are lacrimas that power the illusion. These sky illusions give the same warmth of the day and feelings of the night. It also gives the same weather conditions, the exact copy of what is on the surface. Just as he is about to leave the park, two Starknights walked towards him.

The moment her skin touched the cold metal, June’s mind exploded. She was not in the ship anymore. She was hovering over the Earth. She saw the giant machines on the ground—the mouths—breathing out the toxic blue gas. She saw the "Masters" waiting in their high-tech ships. They were ready to land on their new purple home. But she also saw the roots. Deep beneath the ground, the original Earth—the green and blue one—was still there. It was like a flower hidden under ice. Push, a voice whispered in her head. It sounded like her mother, but older. Push back the frost.

My voice was low, sharp, but calm enough to blend with the atmosphere. “Find Lila, the event planned.” I ordered. “She was backstage earlier, tell her I need her inside now.” The staff nodded so quickly their head nearly bobbed off and hurried off through the staff corridor. I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to stay with the crowd, to keep leading them deeper into the marvel I had built. The glass panels overhead revealed the hanging gardens, green vines draping in natural curtains, flowers blooming with impossible precision under carefully engineered skylights. A man in the crowd muttered “unbelievable” under his breath. Another whispered, “This is… this is art.”

The story of five lives in one. Around us, a sky stained with a dark blue tone thundered loudly. I observed below my feet, a dry and cracked terrain, with no life at all. There were no trees, no lakes, just an immensity of earth. There was a flash of light in the sky, and hundreds of bodies fell. None of them were agitated, none of them tried to prevent the fall.

A massive, green beam of light erupted from the ocean floor, hitting the sky. The clouds began to turn into leaves. "Why is the sky growing?" Leo asked. The woman on the boat pointed up. "Because the Earth is finally going to breathe," she said. "And it starts by exhaling you." The ocean beneath us began to rise. Not a wave. A mountain. What is the 'Harvest' actually collecting?

was busy trying to build a castle for an earthworm king. "I'll keep the wind away as long as I can, Sari," Maria whispered to the empty air, using the name she had only ever seen on a blurred note. "I promise. She’s rooted in the light now."

As he spoke, the Black Eagle King paused. “Say it.” “Understood.” He continued, “Although the seal has yet to be undone, a crevice has appeared that connects the Overworld with Earth. Living beings that do not possess great strength can travel through the crevice as they please. In a couple of months, Earth will be full of living beings from the Overworld.” Then, he glanced at James. “There are many monsters like me in the Overworld. However, unlike my kind-hearted personality, they would kill without batting an eyelid. You earthlings should brace yourselves. Otherwise, you might be annihilated any minute.”

Slowly, I strode to the dresser, pulled open a drawer and came up with ink and a piece of paper. I sat down and took a deep breath, willing Elara’s words to replay in my head. “Beyond the town’s reach, where the earth rises to whisper to the sky...” Where does Tyr town end? The port! “...where the earth rises to whisper to the sky. An unseen mouth yawns wide, swallowing all who enter.” What part of the earth could rise to the sky? A place untouched by light, where echoes have no end and the air is thick? A cave! A cave in a mountain!!! How could I not have figured this out all this whole time?

Maya looked. There was no sky. Not anymore. Manhattan was hanging upside down above them, a skeletal ruin of gray stone and broken metal pinned against a ceiling of churning amber clouds. They were standing on the new skin of the Earth, a world of bone-trees and violet rivers, while the old world rotted in the rafters. "We're in the core," Maya whispered.
