She was born from the wound, after all. "What does that mean?" I demanded. "Is she in danger?" *That depends.* "On what?" *On what you teach her about darkness. Fear it, or understand it.* "I don't understand—" *Light and shadow are not enemies. They are siblings. Two parts of a whole. The child embodies both. If you teach her to fear her shadow nature, she will be divided. Broken.* "But the shadows are dangerous—" *Only when opposed. Only when rejected. Embrace the shadow as you embrace the light, and she will be whole.*

"We need to push it back." "How?" Marcus demanded. "How do we fight something that's already inside?" "With the light," I said. "With everything we have." I pushed the warmth outward, toward the shadows. The others followed, their light joining mine. The shadows recoiled, but they didn't retreat. "It's too strong," Tessa said. "We can't hold it." "We can," I said. "We have to." The battle raged for what felt like hours. The quiet pushed, and we pushed back. The light flickered, and we strengthened it. The shadows grew, and we drove them back.

But unlike the moon, which brings a measure of brightness to the darkness, Nine's presence only seemed to deepen the shadows.

Then she stopped. Through the quiet rustling, I thought I heard her calling my name. “Mariah, where are you? I’m so scared...” My mom had always been afraid of the dark. I grew up in a single-parent household so to support me, my mom often worked late into the night. I always waited for her at the end of a long alley, eager to escort her home. By holding my hand, she always found the courage to step into the darkness. She also suffered from claustrophobia.

“Embrace your truths! Let the light shine!” An ethereal radiance burst forth from our joined hands, illuminating the darkness with a brilliant brilliance that felt both foreign and familiar. The shadows recoiled, hissing in fury as we stood firm, defiant against the malevolence. But the figure didn’t retreat easily. It expanded, morphing into myriad forms; illusions of our deepest fears collided with the radiant light. I saw images visions of failure, loneliness, and despair, dark manifestations birthed from the very depths of my insecurities.

Matteo replied, "Of course not. Business meetings aren't as important as my precious girl." The Shadowridge Pack was one of the top packs in the region, and it took us great effort to convince them to give us this opportunity. The negotiation was crucial for our pack's future development as it could make or break us. I reminded him again, "Alpha Noah only gave us two hours for this meeting. If we..." Sabrina glanced at me with annoyance. "Does a lowly Beta like you need to tell the Alpha how to do his job? Who do you think you are?"

Wilbur frowned and asked, "What… What exactly is going on? What is a Messenger from the Light World? And wasn't the power you used just now the power of destruction?" The shadowy figure felt a wave of frustration and said, "Didn't I already explain? Light and darkness are inseparable. The power of light can annihilate all phantoms formed by the power of destruction. Whether a person is good or evil, that's the true difference between light and darkness." In truth, the Light World was not that complicated. If someone was kind-hearted, they would be born on the side of light. If they had a malicious heart, they would be born on the side of darkness.

"Your job is to make them work together instead." "How?" "By understanding that they're two sides" of the same coin. Light cannot exist without shadow. Shadow cannot exist without light.
