Wings Of Fire Jade Mountain Novels & Stories

Gideon chuckled and patted the Tonitrui Eagle's head, saying, "You're the first guardian beast of Heaven's Dominion—the top one." That was more like it. With a deafening screech, the Tonitrui Eagle launched into the sky and flew off in a specific direction. At a lightning-fast pace, an hour later, he arrived near "Flame Mountain". Despite its name, the mountain wasn't actually on fire. Instead, it radiated intense heat, with surface temperatures reaching at least 212°F. Gideon's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Unbelievable! Are you really this lucky? Could there be a heavenly flame within this mountain?"

The molten gold and soft amber wove a brilliant tapestry as the sun climbed above the majestic peaks of Obsidian Ridge. Fierce, cutting blizzards had once roared through the mountain passes, but now a crisp, bracing wind carried the sweet fragrance of solar jasmine, wild pine and crushed lavender down into the soaring stone valleys.

The snow-capped peaks of the Jade Dragon Mountains pierced the clouds like giant, serrated blades of white crystal, rising twelve thousand feet above the misty valleys of the Eastern Realm. High upon the central summit, suspended between three massive floating sky-spires, hung the ancient sanctum of the Celestial Star-Forge—a grand, open-air amphitheater carved entirely from light-emitting white jade and meteor-iron.

My whole body began to tremble. Eric grabbed my weakened body and dragged me out of the circle. Then he pushed the jade into my hand. He and Maren stepped away from me, leaving me writhing on the ground. The inner fire consumed me; it devoured my senses. The pain increased by the second, quickly turning my screams into half-silent screeching sounds. I was dying. My skin was burning, and soon the essence illuminated every vein in my body. I wasn't sure if I was still breathing. I begged for that agony to end. Unknowingly, my fingers curled tightly around the jade in my hand. Another excruciating heartbeat later, the glowing essence, concentrated around my hand, and the stone. The core's drops

His shoulders relaxed for the briefest second. That second was all the mountain needed. The Fire Source split open with a deafening crack. A fountain of fire shot upward, the blast so strong it knocked Rowan and Azeriel off balance. A wall of heat slammed into them, shoving Rowan backward. Kai dragged her away from the edge as the crater floor collapsed inward. Bright rivers of fire poured down the sides of the mountain, lighting the dark sky like a second sun. The stones under their feet shifted as if the whole peak was breathing heavy and out of rhythm.

I sprinted toward the Cliff of Fires, the legendary battleground of dragons, the peaks constantly ablaze in hues of crimson, jade, and sapphire flame. Kai’s thundering paws followed. But I reached the summit first. I halted at the edge. The winds howled. The flames below danced. Behind me, he skidded to a stop. Our eyes met again. His were glistening. He whimpered, padded forward. Careful. Cautious. My fury built to a scream inside my skull. He took one more step. I leapt. The wind howled louder than his cry. His pain echoed off the burning cliffs as I fell.

Mane had just employed one of those many moves: Exploding Wings. Mane’s mumble was the trigger for the huge fiery wings that grew on his back. The wings were several dozens of meters long and several meters wide. When they appeared on Mane’s back they rose high into the sky, and flapped rapidly. Yet their beating didn’t lift Mane up or take him into the sky. With the beating of those wings, the cry of a Phoenix filled the ears of all who were here, and several large flames descended upon the retreating goblins, burning them all to a crisp. The fire was stronger, completely eliminating the goblins in less than a second.

It was not easy and by the time they reached the top, the sun was almost gone. Jenna sighed as plopped herself down on the ground. Nadia and Liala followed suit. Nadia sighed, “I can try to make a fire.” Jenna nodded and Nadia looked for the items she needed, “I’ve only done this once. It may not work.” Jenna sighed and Nadia tried. No matter how many times, she flicked the stones, they could not get a spark. It was cold on top of the mountain, and they all shivered. Liala smiled, “Hey! I’m a dragon.” She said like she was just now realizing she could make fire. Jenna and Nadia both laughed, and Liala went to a clearing and shifted. She was beautiful, like Clay. Green just like him, with so

Then, I took out an A3 paper from the briefcase and spread it across the table. It was a curved flight path, overlapping on the city map. "This is the flight path of the Cessna with the registration number B-10YZ between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm on the same day. This aircraft…" I stared at him. "…is owned by Zach Airways." A flicker of tension crossed Zachary's face. Under the light, his face turned as pale as a sheet as he swallowed hard. Mike fixed his eyes on the two documents for a long time before he gradually raised his head. "Mr. Zachary, this weather report…"

As though the battle unfolding around him was merely another step toward a destination only he could see. Then the battlefield tore open, and the vision became something else. The Citadel Mountain rose before her, vast and black against a sky split by impossible light. Three flames circled it. Red moved first, violent and magnificent, wrapping the mountain in rings of infernal heat. Gold followed, older, deeper, twining around the red in spirals that looked sometimes like an embrace and sometimes like a strangling chain. Then white fire erupted from below, brilliant enough to turn the shadows transparent, winged and wild and terrifyingly alive. The three flames twisted around one another, co
