Sky Below

The story

High above a storm-ravaged Earth, humanity clings to life in Aerolith, a floating city powered by machines no one fully understands. When a sudden blackout plunges the city into chaos, Eryn Sol, a brilliant engineer, and Torr Vahl, a scavenger with a knack for survival, are sent below the city’s foundation to investigate a flickering signal. What they find is a forgotten level—rusted corridors, cryptic holograms, and evidence of a secret the city’s rulers have buried for centuries. The machines aren’t failing—they’re waking up, and they have a purpose. As Eryn and Torr unravel the conspiracy, they face a choice: restart the machines and risk awakening an ancient threat, or destroy them and plunge Aerolith into the abyss below. Every decision tests their trust in each other and their vision for humanity’s future.

  Eryn Sol

  Aerolith Engineer and Machine Diagnostician

  Eryn is a gifted engineer of the floating city Aerolith, trusting data and schematics over instinct. Sent below the foundation to chase a flickering signal, she discovers the machines were never failing—they were waking, and the city's founders buried why. She must weigh restarting an ancient power against letting Aerolith fall.

  Torr Vahl

  Scavenger and Survival Guide

  Torr is a scavenger who has survived Aerolith's underside on instinct, roped into a mission below the city to chase a signal he never trusted. Where Eryn reads schematics, he reads danger—and the waking machines feel like a trap dressed as a discovery. He'd rather destroy the threat than gamble the city on a founder's lie.
