Embrace The Light Novels & Stories

She sighed, "The guy hosting the party is a close friend of mine and we have been having issues lately." I didn't know what to say. "It's okay. Everything will be okay." I rubbed her arm in a comforting way, "Just smile and be yourself." Be yourself. Really? I was poor at emotional comfort. I avoided looking at her. After a few minutes of awful silence, Maya took my hand and we walked into the house. There were people everywhere and I regretted coming to the party. Maya gave my hand a little squeeze. "I know you don't do well around people," She squeezed my hand again to reassure me. "I'm here for you."

It would have been wise to avoid it and report back to the clan, but the words skilfully woven onto the ground before the portal made him cast away any such thoughts. Cast away yourself into the light and become the darkness. If ye choose not to, this temple shall disappear from your mind and your dreams. It shall haunt you no longer. But if ye choose to embrace the darkness, great power shall be yours. “How foolish I was to actually embrace that darkness.”

On senior picture day, the fall of our last year of high school, I did what I always did and stood next to Lena, the girl I'd grown up with. One of our classmates started in on us. "Come on, let the little married couple stand together!" I'd heard it a hundred times, but the secret I was keeping still put color in my face. Lena didn't say anything. Then the photographer counted down, everybody yelled "Cheese," and I heard her voice next to me, low and flat with irritation. "This is exhausting. Can you give me some space?" It was her. I was born with weak vision, so my hearing has always been sharper than most people's. I know what I heard. The second the shutter clicked, she turned

The Circle of Light was honored, its healers celebrated for their courage and compassion. Elias stood at the head of the table, his voice carrying through the hall. His silver hair gleamed in the candlelight, his golden eyes warm with wisdom. "Today, we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness. We celebrate the courage of those who stood firm in the face of fear. We celebrate the love that binds us together. We celebrate the hope that has carried us through the darkest nights and the faith that has sustained us." We do not celebrate the victory of strength, but the victory of love. For love is the greatest power of all.

"I'll be right here by your side for the rest of our lives." Outside the window, a meteor shower streaked across the sky, illuminating the two figures embracing inside. Alice closed her eyes. The 50 years of her past life had felt endless. Thankfully, this life was only just beginning.

But there was no kindness left in his eyes, only hatred and the twisted excitement of someone about to kill. The sky was darkening, and thunder rumbled all around us. I had never seen such fierce winds. The air tasted salty, so I guessed we were on a small island… probably a private one. He yelled as he questioned me, "You… Your sight's back, isn't it!" There was no point pretending now. I barely had any strength left, so I looked him straight in the eye and nodded calmly, "Yes. So, I'm not your daughter anymore, right?"

With trembling hands, she pushed it open, causing a slight creak to pierce the silence of the night. The moon cast an eerie glow on the world below, its pale light dancing on the rustic backyard. Luna peered into the darkness, her thoughts still consumed by the ghostly presence of her mother. She longed for the comfort only her touch could bring, the warmth of her embrace in times of fear and uncertainty.

"Confront the darkness within yourselves, and choose to embrace the light." Cassie stepped forward first, her eyes fixed on the mirror. I could see the uncertainty in her gaze, but she didn't hesitate. As she looked into the mirror, her reflection began to change. The darkness seemed to envelop her, and I could see the fear and doubt in her eyes. But then, a glimmer of light appeared, and Cassie's reflection stood tall and strong, her eyes filled with determination. "I am not afraid of the darkness," she said, her voice unwavering. "I choose the light."

“I am born of hate, of centuries of pain. You are just—” But my wolf was already awake. My body ignited with brilliant light—a white-hot, blinding force that burned like divine flame. The curse hissed, recoiling as I raised my hand. The aura expanded, engulfing me in a radiant sphere. “No,” I said. “I’m the Light of fucking Hope.” The attack was instinctual. My wolf lunged—no hesitation. The light surged forward like a cleansing storm, and the Curse screamed. The roots snapped as the light tore through them, one by one. The veins exploded in flares of silver as the darkness tried to flee.

“You carry both the light and the dark. To wield your full power, you must accept them both. You cannot defeat what is coming if you deny one half of your soul.” “What does that mean?” I whispered. Her eyes flickered with sorrow. “It means you must understand the darkness within you. Not destroy it. Embrace it.” And then it happened. The air thickened. The ground trembled. Shadows slithered from beneath the moss and wrapped around my feet like living tar. Before I could scream, they yanked me downward. Selene reached for me, her voice distant and echoing “Emily! You must fight it!” I fell. Down, down, down.
