These clouds below our head

As far as memory goes, the sky has always been a treacherous place. Where the islands floating on top of the cloudy ground provide a safe haven, the air between them is full of dangers and predators. What's more, even the biggest ones are silent beyond common sense and hard to perceive through the blurry atmosphere. Survival for all but the top of the food chain is a daily struggle.

But the greatest danger of them all are the clouds. The smooth ground is permeable, and the different winged species would have little trouble diving into the fog banks, were it not for the toxic particles and horrendous monsters creeping in places never lit by the sun. Falling into the white sea is a certain death, one that is as painful as it gets.

And yet... What if not all was true? As a catastrophe hits his home, a young huird will have no choid but to confront his deepest beliefs.
