Light Upon Light Novels & Stories

The next day, the observatory's official social account announced that Lucas had discovered a new star, and he had named it "S" Countless comments flooded Serena's post from the previous day. "Wow, it's true. That's pretty impressive, Serena!" "Did Professor Thorne see your post and name it for you on purpose?" Just then, Lucas walked through the door. "Wilma, did you see? I named the star 'S.' It stands for 'seven' in light of our anniversary." I looked up at him coldly. "Then what's going on with your assistant? That's not what she said in her post."

The wind is starting to die down, but they are forming a concentrated ball of darkness in the middle of the compound. Their screaming stops, and they start laughing with menace before speaking in whispers to us all. "Your light. Shadows are external, so you left us no choice. The light must die, and we will rise again in the next generation". The ball turns into a spear and heads straight to Lewana's chest, entering her body and knocking her to the ground. I scramble across the ground to her side and pick her up in my arms. "No. No. Come on, baby, stay with me".

“You’re a lucky one. Someone will make very good use of that fire one day.” Pelin shot upright, heat rushing to her face. “W-what does that even mean?” Pareia only winked, her hips swaying lazily as she turned away, swagging with deliberate irritation. “You will figure it out, I’m sure” she said light hearted.I cleared my throat and smiled as I gave Pelin a subtle side glance, “Ehmn, Light. The answer is light. A candle flies without wings. It cries and melts without having eyes. And wherever a candle goes, it brings light and eliminates the darkness.”

It hurt so badly that I broke out in cold sweat and pulled myself into a fetal position, shivering hard under my blankets. I thought of getting something to drink and got up, carelessly making my way downstairs to the kitchen. The lights in the living room weren't turned on. However, I caught sight of a dark figure sitting on the couch in the darkness. It was Leonard. He sat on the couch without moving a muscle. He was holding a cigarette between his fingers, the faint glow flickering in the dark. I didn't dare to make a sound and thought of retreating as quietly as possible. "Since you're already up, you might as well come over."

We didn't let the darkness win. END OF VOLUME ONE

Light said. In the heart of the hidden sanctuary, where secrets and shadows intertwined, a complex tapestry of emotions played out within Athena's heart. As the soft light of the ethereal crystals cast dancing patterns on the walls, Athena stood facing Light, her gaze holding a mix of sincerity and deception. Light's eyes searched Athena's face, her expression a blend of curiosity and concern. "Athena," she repeated again,, her voice gentle yet probing, "I've noticed how you stand by Ardolf's side. There's an intensity in your eyes when you look at him. Is there something more between you two?"

“They’ve stolen our stories and dressed them in shadows. They’ve taken our names, our symbols, our truths. But here’s the thing about light—it doesn’t vanish when you split it. It multiplies. If you hear this, make your own Lumen. In your plaza, your kitchen, your street corner. Speak to someone in a way no algorithm can. Look them in the eyes. Share the memory only you can carry. That’s the light they can’t fake. That’s the one they fear.” The message went out over every Echo Node, every Resonant Cloth channel, every anchored gathering. And for a moment—brief but electric—the map lit not in red, but gold.

The lights go out. Fuck!
