Aether Beasts

Long ago a great calamity struck the earth, destroying much of it and merging what remained with pieces of other worlds. With these worlds came Aether, a new form of energy that can allow one to transcend the bounds of normal mortality and human limitations. In a world where humans absorb the essence of aether beasts to gain power, Aiden Hawke joins the class of humans known as arcanists, people who defeat aether beasts and absorb their essence into cores they forge within themselves, and who infuse themselves with the aether that permeates the world around them to increase the power of their body and mind. However, unlike most, Aiden will find that he holds a unique gift and that his journey as an arcanist will not be so simple.

Chapter 135

The city was unlike anything I'd expected. I'd imagined a warren or tunnel-like system of attached rooms and spaces, but what I was witnessing was nothing like that. Behind the door lay a vast and wide space that stretched on for what must have been miles in all directions like a big chunk had been taken out of the earth. Large crystals lay upon the roof of the space embedded in the earth and they shone down sunlight or at least a light similar in color to sunlight, down upon the city, which for the most part looked like a normal city.

The buildings were made out of different sorts of stone, but there were roads, different districts that I could from the vantage we were at. We were outside the city, on a cliff that looked down upon it.

"Even more beautiful than I read about," Misty commented.

"Must have taken a lot of effort to make the space," Sandra said.
