Aether X Amber Novels & Stories

I can’t take my eyes off him. "Different worlds are not enough to keep us apart." I stared at him as he said those words to me. I can smell his enchanting scent because of how close we are to each other. His face was blurry. The only thing that I could see clearly are his eyes; those eyes that express more than one emotion. Eyes that sparkle the same way the fireflies danced around us. It’s as if I can see through his soul because of it. We are smiling at each other while lying on the grass, under the bright full moon.

One of the elders leaned forward. “Report says Elise has passed the fourth threshold. The Hollow is responding.” Dareth, the youngest elder, rubbed his temple. “And if she makes it to the heart?” “Then we end it,” Saelin said flatly. He turned, unrolling a scroll inked in dark red. “Aetheric Containment Order,” he read. “To be enacted immediately upon her return. Bind her. Mute her. Sedate her if needed.” “You’re turning her into a weapon,” Dareth muttered.

turned around and went back to the front door to lock it. After he made sure that their home was secure he continued to run after his sister until he was right by her side. He looked ahead of them. In the not so far of distance he could see the line where trim country grass from the Farmers Open Fields met with wilderness. Such a difference between the two pieces of land. Almost like different worlds. There was a flimsy wooden gate between the farmland and Forest that seemed to be holding the later back from oozing into their village. They had entered the forest quite a few times before and they always entered in the same place right there. Where country meets wilderness at the flimsy gate.

"The broadcast is at forty percent capacity. It’s a 'Drowsiness' wave. It’s telling them that nothing matters except the screen in their hands." The Aether-Tech Hub rose out of the landscape like a monument to the future. A sprawling campus of glass and white steel, it was surrounded by manicured lawns and high-tech security gates. The "Aether-Tech" logo - a stylized eye interwoven with a circuit board - glowed with a soft, pulsing blue light. "Target in sight," Xander said, his voice calm and steady. "Evangeline, how are your levels?" "Steady," she replied, clutching her briefcase. "The 'Anomalous Chord' is quiet. It knows it’s home."

I won't let him break my family. I close my eyes, praying to the Gods to give me strength! When I opened them a second later, I knew they were purple. I could feel it. The pain! The grief! The power! The Aether. I was Aether! I blur and run to Amaya; pushing her down, I put my hands up. My purple light formed a barrier, blocking the red one. "It's time to play!" I said, letting one of my hands down and offering to Amaya.

I explain my side. “Alpha, I don’t want him to reject me. We are mates! The moon goddess fated us to each other for a reason,” Amber screams but her voice lowers towards the end when Rex narrows his eyes at her. “Amber, aren’t you also in love with someone else?” Rex asks and we all look at him, confused. “I… I don’t know what you mean, Alpha. I only love my mate,” Amber stutters but her heart rate accelerates, causing one of my eyebrows to rise.

They were looking at each other. "The resonance is migrating," Nathaniel reported. He was standing in the center of the plaza, holding a simple glass jar filled with water from the Emerald Sea. The water was glowing with a soft, steady amber light. "Emma, you aren't losing your power; you're releasing it. Every time you breathe, a piece of the Aether leaves your blood and enters the atmosphere. It’s a global transfusion. You're becoming the environment."

Ambrose did not even bother wasting his time. He whipped his Tyrant Hammer, launching into a fierce battle against the crowd. However, like Ether said, Ambrose had not fully restored his powers, and it was not long before he started to slow down. Ether smiled at the sight, filled with glee. 'Haha! My chance has come.' "Take this, Ambrose Darby!" The next second, Ether cried out as he rose into the air and charged toward Ambrose. He exploded with full force in mid-air as a black glow shone around him, and a gigantic black bear began to form.
