Darkness Comprehended It Not Novels & Stories

Moira Turner She'd welcomed the darkness with open arms, never felt as powerful and chagrined as she did in the presence of infinite unknowing darkness and now it was all fading fast as the darkness retreated, deep into the abyss, locked away in some part of her consciousness. She knew she was not awake, yet she'd never felt alive, she'd never wanted to wake up until now, the darkness faded and left behind a powerful white light and it blinded her, burnt her skin, leaving nothing but charred scars and burnt flesh, She'd gone from comfort to immense pain

The darkness was not empty. That was the first thing I noticed — that the place I was seeing was not simply nothing. It had weight to it, a kind of thickness, like standing at the bottom of a very deep pool and looking up at the surface of the water far above you. I could see light up there,very distant, and I had the sense that if I wanted to reach it, I would have to want it badly enough to move. I did not know if I wanted to.

His presence seemed to suck the air from the room, devouring the light and turning it into something else—something dark. For just a second, it reminded me of the Game Master. They both held that darkness within them, but they were two sides of a coin. The Game Master’s darkness reminded me of a dark sky filled with stars, the beautiful darkness that consumed the day. This—thing, its darkness reminded me of a chasm. An endless chasm with nothing but death and agony. ‘We’re not going to fucking die.’ Rayna snarled, ‘Not if I have anything to do with it.’

Instead, I let the darkness eat me up. ~*~ I was aware again—of the darkness. Although the rest of my senses seemed to betray me, my hearing didn't. "Come back to me," the same, hoarse voice demanded. My brain tried to remember who owns the voice but it was pointless. I was too tired to think or to fight the darkness. So I let it consume me once more. ~*~

"What exactly did you see, Sariah?" Sariah's eyes flicked to meet his, and in that small moment, I saw the sorrow of shared truths in her gaze. "Darkness," she said simply, but the word was laden with layers of understanding. "A darkness unlike anything we've encountered before. It's powerful and it's nearing. The end is coming sooner than we may realize, unless we find a way to stop it."

Like iron bands were locking around my ribs. My vision blurred. I was sinking. The trees leaned in, whispering secrets I couldn’t understand. The sky above dimmed, even darker than before, the clouds swallowing all light. And then— I was gone. Swallowed whole by the Blightwood. The Goddess didn’t answer. The wolf didn’t come. Only darkness.

Darkness. Not the darkness of night. Not the darkness created when a star disappeared. This darkness was deeper. It had no direction, no distance, no beginning. Liana could not see Kael. She could not see Caelum, Lena, the First Light, or even the Celestial Heart. She could not feel the ground beneath her feet. For the first time since she had awakened the Heart, she could not even feel herself breathing. Yet somehow, she knew she was alive.

I furrowed my brow as she called me Darkness. I felt tendrils of something old and dark clawing at the far edges of my mind. ‘Don’t even think about it. If you let Darkness in, that means I have to go into that cage.’ Chesed growled. He didn’t like getting sidelined for Darkness.

“As a boy. As a broken Alpha. As a man who convinced himself he was unworthy of love.” My hands trembled. “That power,” she said gently, “is growing.” “Then tell me how to destroy it,” I snapped. Her expression softened—but there was no comfort in it. “You can’t.” My chest constricted. “What do you mean I can’t?” She stopped an arm’s length away. “Darkness like this doesn’t vanish. It feeds. It waits. And if you deny it, it consumes you.” The hole behind her pulsed violently, black magic licking at the edges of the forest.

"I can't do this. I'm only get like every other word. This is so convoluted." Remi squeezed my shoulder. "It's okay. Let's just try to put it into context based on what we know. You said "darkness" right? Well we definitely found some darkness yesterday. It sounds like a prediction that is warning that if the darkness interrupts this ritual, then the balance between light and dark will be tipped." I wrinkled my nose. "I guess. If you can even trust what I have translated." "I think you translation is fine. It's just not complete. Now the first one. It looks like you have to combine the fractured soul. That's something. We just need to figure out what she is trying to combine you with."
