Balance Of Light And Shadow Novels & Stories

The light from the candles made Helena's face glow. Lyra had never seen her mother look so happy. So relaxed. So full of joy. So at peace. Helena had never looked at Lyra like that. Not once in Lyra's entire life. Not even when Lyra had left on her mission. Not even when she'd accomplished something important. Lyra's knees felt weak. She grabbed the wall to steady herself. The rough stone scraped against her palm but she barely felt it. This wasn't real. This couldn't be real. It had to be a nightmare. She'd wake up any moment now, back in her tent at the last negotiation site. This was just exhaustion playing tricks on her mind.

“Every time she breathes, every time she calls the Moon, I feel it burn through me. She’s stealing what’s mine.” The spirit circled him slowly, her voice like silk brushing across his skin. She is not stealing. She is completing what has begun. The prophecy binds you both—you as the shadow, she as the light. Lucian turned sharply. “Then tell me how to end it.” For the first time, the spirit smiled. It was a cruel, ancient thing. The light must be consumed by the dark. Only then will the balance break. Lucian’s breath came fast. “Consumed…”

LUNA'S POV He wanted to know if I wanted more. Did I want more? Of course, I wanted more! I opened my mouth to talk but no sound came out. The orgasm I felt was like no other. This wasn't my first time having orgasms but nothing prepared me for the one that assaulted my nerves. My body was still tingling but I wanted to continue. I doubt I would see Asher after this night which was a good thing because I didn't want to be caught up with a man like h-

Its eyes were as red as blood and its presence gives a chilling and horrifying feel. “The two witch kids...have you heard about the prophecy?” The twins looked at each other being puzzled. “Oh, I see, I would be glad that I will be the one to tell your fate...” The evil of shadows made them confused. “...if one of you succeeds to become the ruler of the separate worlds, it will be the end of everything.” As Falla moved her pace to her brother trying to hide at her twin's back, Talon eventually vanished and was nowhere to be found. The evil of shadows moved closer in her direction. She feels heaviness and high tension as the evil comes closer and closer to her.

- Nadir replied firmly, getting up from the couch when she finally shook off the shock and slowly realized everything Lilith had said about her. - I see.- Lilith said, a little saddened. She knew that would not be able to make her do anything - for Nadir was even stronger than her.- If you want to leave, you must know that after a month on the surface, you will no longer be a succubus. Your charm will disappear, the power to feel the emotions of others, invisibility, mind-reading, but also hunger for energy... However, you will not become completely human, because it's impossible to get rid of what you inherited from Lucifer. Be aware of it.- she pointed out and left the room. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Then you must find a way to balance it. To make it part of the world without letting it consume everything." I looked at him, feeling the weight of his words. "Balance. That is what I have always tried to create. Balance between light and shadow, life and death, creation and destruction." "And now you must create balance with the void." I returned to the Source. The pool of liquid light was still there, shimmering in the center of the new Silvermoon. But it was different now. Fainter. Dimmer. The void was feeding on it too. "The Source," I whispered. "The memory of the dream. It is fading."

Kaen barked, circling the altar. Selene raised her hands. “Stop before you break them!” The being looked genuinely puzzled. “They want the light. They pray for it.” “They don’t understand the price,” she said. “If you burn too bright, the shadows vanish—and without shadow, nothing grows.” The being’s eyes flickered between silver and gold. “Then show me balance.” It stepped down from the altar and placed a hand over her heart again. The villagers gasped as both of them lifted from the ground, suspended in a spiral of light and dark.

"It will be inherent in the nature of the balance itself. Light and shadow must prove they can coexist, or one will consume the other." "And if they fail this test?" Aldric asked quietly. Zara met his eyes. "Then the balance shatters. Permanently. One force will consume the other, and the world will fall into either eternal light or eternal darkness. Both are apocalyptic scenarios." "Eternal light?" Lyra frowned. "That does not sound so terrible."

Kaden sees it too late. He lunges, but we are faster. I raise my hand and time stops and light pours from me in radiant waves. Lola steps forward, shadows trailing her like smoke. Light and shadow coil around us, not fighting, but circling, choosing. The air thickens, charged, every particle vibrating under a force older than gods, older than war, older than beginning itself. We stand together not as enemies, not as broken sisters, but as the two things we were always meant to be... Life... Death... Balance.

(A CURSE AND THE BLESSING) DARK AND LIGHT. Good and Evil. Yin and Yang. The balance must be met as the first should not throw the other, as neither of the both should hold the greater good nor evil as it will disrupt everything and lead to destruction. Yet, if you are going to choose between the two, what would it be? Would you take the light of the good that the Yin provides, or the darkness that evil had in accordance to Yang? What if what you think is the good is rather the evil, and the evil itself is just the façade for the good? Would you still choose from both, or rather stay in between?
