Clair agreed giving her friend a high five. Sienna sat wordlessly in the front seat as he drove away. Since it was still early morning on a weekend, the normally busy roads of the city were somewhat deserted. Morning rays of the sun felt good on Sienna’s skin. The sun shone, brightening the sky with its yellow rays. The clear blue sky and the calmness of the morning made Sienna smile.

You smiled and something inside me fluttered. That was the moment, when I knew, that I am doomed. -Author. |N I C O L A S| Under the soft glow of the moonlight, Zyra and I walked together by the side of the road quietly, dimly lit streets. It was one of those serene nights when the world seemed to hush itself, leaving only the gentle rustling of leaves and the distant hum of life.

"I swear, I'll be everything you want. I'll be the good little mouse you keep telling me to be. Just… don't do this. Please." The darkness of the room pressed down on me as he flipped off the last light, leaving only a faint glow from the moon seeping through the window. That cold, silvery light barely reached us, casting long shadows that made the entire scene even more haunting. I felt completely exposed, trapped, and helpless.

**UNKNOWN POV** The room was dark...too dark for normal people. There was just a tiny bulb glimmering. But even in the darkness, I could clearly see the symbol of the moon that had been taunting me. There was only one window in the room, which was guarded heavily by the wooden blocks and then with a layer of newspaper. I couldn't see the moonlight, not until I found her. I was looking at the photograph of the mark in my hand.

Biti also disappeared. "I am very hungry." I whispered while holding my stomach. "Maybe I better go to my room. Sleep will kill my hunger." I said while walking to Bryan's room. Suddenly all the lights in this house suddenly went out. "Ohh, what is this? Why are all the lights off? Is Bryan in arrears on electricity payments?" I asked while trying to walk. "I'm very afraid of the dark. Aren't there any candles around here?" I asked. Suddenly I hit something hard, maybe a broad chest. Don't know whose it is. But, isn't there anyone in this house besides me? So what I hit is... Who? ***

Holding her hand a little too tight, he couldn’t wait to grip it harder to keep it warm. The night was growing colder and the room gradually darkened. The lavender light was a bit dim, and Marilyn couldn't see the room clearly. Suddenly, the room lit up, only to reveal a yellowish light filling the entire room, scattered with stars ranging from white to golden yellow, reflecting the yellowish light, like a starry sky during the day.

“What are you looking at?” I smirked and opened the book in my hand. Like earlier, another riddled showed up. In darkness complete, I am a light; a circle so pure, glowing bright. When Earth's shadow has finally withdrawn, in full splendor, I'll be seen by dawn. What am I? Light in complete darkness? Then that could only be a candle, the moon, the stars, or a flashlight. But it also said circle… It could be the moon, but the moon had its phases.

Atlas The moon rose slowly over Blackwood’s northern towers, casting a muted silver glow through the frost-kissed windows of my room. Its pale light slithered across the thick patterned carpet, glinting off scattered reports on my desk, illuminating the cracked spine of an abandoned textbook near my boots. Shadows stretched along the walls like silent witnesses to my unrest.

Dawn light comes through the sanctum's single high window, small and square and positioned near the ceiling, and the light that falls through it is the clean, unmodified gold of actual morning, carrying none of the red tint that has been coloring everything since the eclipse. Lucian stands in the dust and the dawn light and the diminished glow of the hybrid power that remains, and breathes.
