Malam Kelam Novels & Stories

Fuck. Something runs past me hiding in the shadows of the woods. I stop in my tracks, scared of death. I can almost hear my heartbeat. My blood is raging in my veins. "Show yourself," I yell angrily. I hear a low growl and see strange eyes focused on me for a second. I scream and fall to the ground. "Alice! Alice! Alice!" The voices have gotten closer. Something is definitely following me in the woods. I stand to my feet hurriedly. My cloth and shoes have mud stains on them. "Fuck," I grunt. The midnight bell rings from afar in the village. What a hell of a way to start my eighteenth-year birthday. I hear the growling clearly as it draws closer to me. My hands are shaking as I grab the dagge

With a roar, she slammed her palm into the earth, and the temple itself shuddered as the ground cracked open beneath us. From the fissures in the earth, beams of blinding light shot up, encircling Malakar like the fingers of an angry god. The darkness recoiled, but Malakar was no mere god—he was the very essence of death. With a shout of defiance, he reached out, and shadow twisted around him, solidifying into sharp, jagged spears of darkness, aimed directly at Selanara. Time slowed. My heart stopped as I watched, helpless.

"Go to Aunt Cleo!" Aqua's heart pounded in her chest as she stumbled towards the door, her legs shaking with fear. She glanced back to see her parents fighting valiantly, their magic clashing with the dark energy of their attackers. Milak's elemental fury and Zara's healing light intertwined in a beautiful yet tragic dance of power and sacrifice. But it wasn't enough. Milak fell first, a blast of dark energy striking him down. Zara's scream of anguish pierced the air as she knelt beside him, her light flickering and fading. The witches closed in, their laughter echoing like a chorus of nightmares.

"He always camps somewhere around here." I looked about for any activity, then heard an unexpected sound coming from the woods. My heart hammered as a man with sharp features emerged from the shadows—a man whose cold, relentless hate glistened in his eyes. Halak. "So the prodigal son returns," Malak remarked, his voice sharp with hatred. Eli stiffened, but he never wavered. "It's over, Malak." The Raven is gone; nothing remains for you here. Malak snorted, his eyes gliding over us with contempt. "Nothing left?" Oh, but you are mistaken. She assigned us goals; I want to see them realized.

As they returned to the village, they found Malcom waiting for them near the edge of the square. “You’ve seen it, haven’t you?” he asked, his tone calm yet accusatory. Clara stiffened. “Seen what?” “The shadow’s mark,” Malcom said. “It’s not just a threat to this village. It’s spreading, consuming everything in its path. You need me if you want to stop it.” Celeste stepped forward. “Why should we trust you? You’ve done nothing but sow fear since you arrived.” Malcom’s eyes darkened. “Because I’ve faced it before. And I know what it takes to destroy it.”

POV: Luna We burst through the tree line and stopped dead. The entire eastern forest was glowing. Dark magic pulsed from a massive ritual circle carved into the earth. It was easily fifty feet across, covered in symbols that hurt to look at. And in the center stood Malachar. "You're early," I shouted. "Am I?" He smiled coldly. "Or are you simply unprepared?" "We had a deal. Tonight. At the full moon." "I lied." He gestured to the ritual circle. "Did you really think I'd wait until you were at full strength? That would be foolish."

Visions haunted me: Tenebrous's downfall, my fault. Erebus's loyalty, uncertain. Malakai's whispers: 'Join me, Amara. Rule Tenebrous.'" -Malakai's POV- "Tenebrous teetered on collapse. Amara's power, the final key. With her, I'd unlock Somnium's secrets. And reign supreme." Alexander's pov I found a way to stop malakai's plan for some time ,I walked to Amara's room and saw her seating on the bed

My heart sank hearing him say kids, it just made me wonder even more how much of a plan those people have put together. I heard low growls behind me and it only made him laugh harder. "Oh nice puppies. Big dogs. Like horses.'' Malachi laughed. "Yeah, he isn't all there anymore. We need to get a look inside his head." I said looking at Alley. She nodded and together we walked forward to stand behind him. I rested my hand on her shoulder while she held her hands close to the side of his head. I knew she didn't want to touch him. I closed my eyes and when I opened them there was nothing but darkness. It was hot as hell in here but it was pitch black and completely silent. I looked around and sq

Sure enough, it was gone. The image of him smiling at the clerk came to mind, along with the warm compliments about what a loving couple we were. That scene kept replaying in my head. I stood there in a daze, the bitterness in my chest slowly settling. I quietly told myself that maybe this was all just a one-sided crush on Serena's end. After dinner, Lucas suddenly set down his fork and said, "I have to work late tonight at the observatory. I need to observe a star that's quite rare."

Kael The palace hadn’t stopped shaking. Even after the tremors faded, the walls still hummed — not with fear, but with recognition. Like they remembered something old. Something divine. Something dangerous. Malen arrived at dawn, his cloak streaked with soot, his eyes too bright for comfort. He bowed low before speaking. “It’s begun.” I didn’t need to ask what he meant. The golden scar across the horizon still burned from the night before — a wound in the sky that refused to fade.
