It is cunning and merciless, and it'll halt at nothing to realize its objective." Clara felt a chill run down her spine. "How do we fight something l

“The darkness has been known by my people to do two things whenever it chooses to reveal itself: take a life by its own hand, and spare one.” As her voice got closer, Alex quickly spun around to face Rowan, who was now standing before him. “Why are you telling me this?” Rowan inched closer to Alex, looking right into his eyes the whole time. “Because,” she began, and Alex could see tears starting to build up, “the darkness is already here, but the light is coming back, too.”

I stepped closer to my pillar and read the words aloud: "In the heart of darkness, light must shine, But alone, its glow will fade with time. By shadow’s grace, the light is freed, Together, they are one in need." Evelina joined me, reading the rest of the inscription on her side: "Through dusk and dawn, they dance as one, For without the dark, the light is undone. When both are present, the truth is clear, Together they guide, without fear." She met my eyes, understanding lighting up in her expression. "It’s a test of balance—light and dark. Both need to work in unity to move forward."

*“The true darkness stirs.” ---

The shaman’s face came from the shadows, his eyes no longer marred by fear—they had distance to them, and glowed like green fire. ‘It is good to see you again, Bringer of Joy,’ the shaman hissed, though Beatrice somehow knew the words came from the thing that haunted Dorsal Finn. ‘The world is about to change. And you cannot stop it. Darkness will sweep across this Earth, and your light will diminish. All hope will die.’ ‘Who are you?’ she said, wincing as the hand around her wrist seemed to burn her skin. ‘I am the darkness. I am the light. I am everything,’ the shaman’s dark passenger said. ‘But that is no longer your concern. You are too late."

She was like April sky, sunrise in her eyes Child of light, shining star, fire in her heart Brightest day, melting snow, breaking through the chill October and April He was like frozen sky in October night Darkest cloud, endless storm, raining from his heart Coldest moon, deepest blue, tearing down the spring October and April Like hate and love, worlds apart This fatal love was like poison Right from the start Like light and dark, worlds apart This fatal love was like poison Right from the start We were like loaded guns, sacrificed our lives We were like love undone, craving to entwine Fatal touch, final thrill, love was bound to kill October and April (...)

She said to no one as she disappeared into the crowd of workers. ~~~ One Week Later Inside each of us is the darkness wanting out. But what if that darkness is the ending and the beginning of us all? The full moon hung like a ghost in the night sky as Yada overlooked the lights of the city below from her tenth-floor apartment. She studied the diamond twilight for over an hour before turning away--No longer able to stomach the sight. It had been nearly a month since she had been home, having stayed in the coven’s inner chambers since the city fell under siege to a rival house a little over three weeks ago.

The goddess eyed me sceptically. “Ask it.” She demanded rather than invited. “You said, in order to defeat the darkness, you must first defeat the light.” I paused. A part of me hoped that what I was about to say was wrong. That I had got the complete wrong end of the stick. But the gnawing pain in my heart told be otherwise. “You are yet to ask me a question.” “The darkness is Tenebris?” I ask. “Yes.” “The light…” gulping back the tears that threatened to spill over, “Then the light must mean….”

As soon as we got to kitchen, he jumped on the island with another black book in his hands. "Light and Darkness work hand in hand because if there is no darkness, there would be no stability. The night needs day and vice versa. However, the warriors of the moon goddess have chosen to clear the darkness. The pendant was made for the final ritual. Each person having a half. However the darkness lives on but accepts anyone that goes to it."
