A Scatter Of Light Novels & Stories

I dropped to my knees and knocked my forehead on the floor three times while glaring resentfully at the two of them. Cody was stunned. He reached out to stop me. But I had already sprinted towards the car outside without looking back. Watching my desperate retreat, Cody's heart sank deeper and deeper. Sydney pulled his attention back, saying, "The award ceremony is about to start." "Yeah." He hesitated and turned around, only to hear a loud boom behind him, followed by an onrush of heat…

This time it rang faster than the last, calling for attention in the face of the increasing fright. Lydia’s eyes were drawn to the window, where the darkness outside was threatening. She looked into the small trees that stood like a silent guard, their twisted branch casting its shadows. Within that dark portrait, a flash of light caught her attention – tiny faint light of eyes, watching, waiting. There were many of them, perhaps even more, like tiny stars scattered around.

She disinfected the cuts haphazardly, slapped on some bandages, and caught a cab straight to the airport. Sitting in the back seat, she watched the scenery rush past the window. The towering skyscrapers and bright lights gradually disappeared from view. Once they got onto the elevated highway, Celine rolled down the window, pulled the ring off her finger, and tossed it out without hesitation.

Lyra glanced back at me more than once. And then everything faded. ** I stood in the middle of a field filled with white, glowing flowers. They stretched endlessly in every direction, a quiet sea of soft light that moved with the faintest touch of wind. Each petal carried its own glow, not harsh or blinding, but gentle, like the moonlight was caught and held within something living. The light reflected faintly against my skin, casting pale shadows that shifted as the flowers swayed. I had never seen anything like it.

he looked at the other, who shook his head. “Not yet.” Reyan answered and smiled apologetically. “But, what signifies the scattered dots… maybe the trees? Or the people?” he asked. “But, they should be related to the moon and cloud, since the scattered dots followed the two.” He said. Hierro nodded in agreement. “’scattered dots’… moon… cloud…” Iero muttered as he tried to think, only to grimace when he felt his head hurt. “Ah… I can’t understand!” he said and frowned as he massaged his temples.

Until a massive beam of white light bursts out from the distance, shooting from the recesses of the mountains and into the inky black sky. Everything returns to normal. The earth takes a shuddering breath, like a drowning man who just got saved. When I can see again, I catch sight of everyone standing still, staring at the light, which is spreading farther and farther, clearing up the dark clouds until the stars and the moon are seen. The light, the Arachnia said. I need the light. And this is it, I can tell. I can feel it.

Smoke hung in the air, and the room fell into a breathtaking silence. Luna floated, her body bruised and battered. Just as the flame had begun, the smoke moved into her nostrils and began to come out in a rhythm. The amber light surrounded her, moving around like fireflies; it flew above her and stung her in the forehead. Luna's scream echoed around the room; the light passed through her, and from every part it took, scarlet light emitted from it.

Then, with purpose, I tossed it into the trash can. The sharp, hollow clink of metal hitting the bottom echoed through the quiet night. The wind brushed against me, its chill settling over my skin. I looked out over the night view, where even the dimmest stars held a faint trace of light. Then, I turned and stepped back inside, closing the door behind me. In that moment, I felt a stillness I had never known. Everything in the past had finally fallen with the stars into endless darkness. And ahead of me, there lay countless possibilities that I could explore one by one.

The three gave me approving nods but I do not know what I was supposed to do. Just then, glimmering lights started to materialize before our eyes, crystal blues, and sapphire red, lush green and silver whites. It was the tinkers that appeared. Their appearance was a magical scene that is enough to leave the mouths of its spectators with jaws drop. I reached out my hand to one of the lights and as it bounces from my finger it bumps into the other lights creating a chain reaction and producing sparkling dusts.

"I was overwhelmed." "'Excited' is the right term for you." "You know me well, don't you?" And she made me hear her friendly chuckle. She stretches five fingers of her in front and a tiny sparkling light floats. "To welcome you home, I present this to you." The spark flies at the speed of a bullet towards the lake, the water splashes, and when the sparkling light reaches the middle, it climbs upward to the sky with the same speed. A few seconds of silence happened when the night sky was illuminated with colorful shades of glitters exploding and falling like snow consecutively.
