The Awakening Of Light Magic Chapter 5 Novels & Stories

And with that she heads to the bar, and I head to the outer doors. Standing out in the courtyard I look up to the sky, it's remarkably clear tonight and the moon is so bright, it lights everything in a white glow. It's light enough to see but still dark, and I wonder, is this a reflection of the true me? Am I really a good person or am I, just like ‘him’? I banish the thought; I can't let it be a possibility. Taking a deep breath, I prepare to head back in, when I feel that strange tingle creeping up my back again. I turn to find Lilli watching me from inside the doors.

“Anything more than a fraction of a second and we may not be strong enough to protect your spirit.” Leticia, Delilah, and Lady Camille take each other’s hands and make a circle around me. They close their eyes and raise their joined hands. Their energy combined with Lex’s fills me with light and warmth and love. It feels like it’s practically lifting me off the ground. “Now Kas! Do it now!” Lex howls with excitement. I close my eyes and focus. When I open them, the light surrounding me is blinding. I reach my finger out and let it lightly brush against the cover of the book. The slight graze of contact allows dark magic to flood my spirit, balancing out the light.

The red-eyed woman. Eve gasped as the vision shifted. She was no longer an observer—she was there. A child wrapped in her mother’s arms, cradled against a heart that beat with both fear and fierce determination. The storm raged around them. And then—her mother whispered a single word. "Awaken." Eve’s eyes snapped open. The golden light within her erupted, flooding the clearing in a wave of raw, untamed energy. The Elders staggered back, shielding themselves, but they were too late. The power surged forward, stripping the last remnants of their dark magic away.

I managed to ask, my voice steadier than I expected. Nimue tilted her head, studying me. “The awakening. My magic has not simply merged with your essence—it is reshaping you.” She stepped closer, and with a slow wave of her hand, the room itself responded. The books lifted, pages turning of their own accord, their words glowing with an eerie golden light. The floor beneath us pulsed like a living thing. I swallowed hard. “What does that mean?” Nimue’s lips curled into a small, knowing smile. “It means your true nature is surfacing. The limitations placed upon you, the ones that made you weaker than the others—they are leaving you. Now, you will see.”

She reminded them that they too possessed the ability to create miracles, to manifest their dreams, and to shine as beacons of light in a world often overshadowed by darkness. Chapter Five marked a turning point in Rita's story—a chapter of profound self-discovery and the unveiling of the magic that lay dormant within her. As she continued to navigate the intricacies of her spiritual path, she remained guided by the loving presence of Lumina, the wisdom of ancient teachings, and the unwavering love of God.

“Ivy, stay behind me.” But I couldn’t even move. My stomach twisted. The child inside me kicked hard, as if reacting to the darkness. The ground split again. A single, deep pulse rolled through the valley. And then, the lake exploded upward. A wave of dark magic shot into the sky. The lights went out. The earth shook. And I whispered the only words that made sense: “Oh Goddess… it’s awakening.”

Poe's chanting died off, while the monks around us continued. "Deep breath," was the only warning I got as Poe pushed me below the surface. I fought done the panic and forced myself to be still as I sank lower. I kept expecting to reach the bottom but never did. Slowly, all feeling slipped away. I could barely feel the water or Poe's hand. It was just me, surrounded by nothing but light. Focus, inward. The thought wasn't my own, I didn't recognize it. But inside me, at my core, my magic slept wrapped in ugly black vines. The bright light shot through my skin, burning the vines away as it traced white-hot designs all over my body.

The whole place shuddered, like something old and hungry was waking up down below. Selene tried to lift her head, but it looked like a struggle. Her voice cracked on my name, A-Aurek— The sound almost knocked me off my feet. Almost. But the awakening inside me was getting restless, hot and violent, like a flood rising in my chest. It surged outward, wanting her. My vision flickered, gold, white, then black. I shoved it back down. Just barely. The magic wasn't giving up. It tightened its grip on her.

I rambled on. “You have the same auras but yours is brighter. Every ruler of the Underworld has to be an heir of the Light.” I understood nothing from what Mismaia told me. I know it’s probably a serious matter but I just can’t wrap my head around it. I was just cooking mini donuts and waffles like a second ago. I get minimum wage and she’s telling me I’m practically like royalty. “I wanna believe you. This is just not normal for me.” She held my hand. I swiped it away. “I’m sorry.”
