Darkness And Light by S.K Nuanes (epub e reader .txt) 📕

It was the first day of the Spring Festival; everyone was in a cheerful mood, it was a weeklong party, everyone would enjoy this week. It used to have a great meaning to the weeklong party, but now most people use it as an excuse to get drunk. There were many colorful stands, some fun activity for everyone; a stage had band members setting up. Yet the band couldn’t play anything rough, only cheerful music, and relaxing music. Lysander looked out from his bedroom window; he knew how much Sami loved going around and enjoying the festival. Even if she couldn’t see anything, she loved it.
Lysander looked through his wardrobe; he didn’t want to walk around looking high and mighty. The way he saw it, if you were to wear a royal robe, it was like a male lion. Walking around with its head up high, showing its mane. While commoners, were like zebras, the lion stands out in a herd of zebras. He slipped on a white clock, which many commoners would use. On under, he had a black jump suit. He walked on over to Sami’s room. She wasn’t up yet; usually her maid would gotten her up. Lysander smiled at her, how she just slept so peacefully.
He sat on her bed, and then spoke softly, “Sami, it’s the Spring Festival, are you excited?”
“Yes I am.” Sami said, in a soft voice.
She sat up quickly, and hugged her brother.
“I am excited, what should we do first!” Sami said, eagerly as she sprung out of the bed, and tripped on over to her wardrobe. Lysander walked on over to her, “What do you want to wear?”
“I don’t want a dress, I want something fun!” Sami said, bouncing up and down.
Lysander didn’t know a thing about women clothing, he looked through her clothes, and he found a blue jumper, “I hope you like this.”
He looked around and walked over and hit a buzzer, that would call a maid on over. Where was the head maid, she would take care of Sami.
But what happened to her?
******************

Lysander walked into the kitchen, he never ate, he could eat food but it didn’t fill him up or anything. Mason was leaning on the counter and tossing an apple up and down.
“Morning Lysander.” Mason said, casually.
There was silence, until Lysander let out a sigh, “You are never up before three, or you don’t come out of your room until four. Its ten o’clock you know that?”
“I decided to do something new today, got a problem?” Mason said, he had a sharp glare. It reflected like a knife, into your heart.
“No, I just wasn’t expecting you.” Lysander said, watching his brother.
Mason smirked, then left the room; Lysander knew Mason was always up to no good
***************
The real festival started at night, lamps were lit by hand, with lights going over the walkway, creating a peaceful setting.In the streets, Lysander held Sami hand, like if he was her father carefully guiding her around the streets. May smiled when she saw Lysander, she walked over to them. “Hey you two how are you guys?”
Sami gave a small smile then said, “May? Is that you?”
“Yes, it’s the amazing May.” Lysander chuckled, rolling his eyes.

May knew he was being sarcastic, the look in his eyes said it all. “So, Sami what do you want to do first?” May asked, in a motherly tone.
“Hmm, the dance floor!” Sami said, running off to where the band was planning.
“Man, I swear she needs to stop running off!” Lysander exhaled, annoyed as he chased her. May followed close behind them. Sami used her sharp hearing to find the music. Once they reached the dance floor. Lysander grabbed her arm gently then said, “Sami, don’t ever run off like that again.”
“I’m sorry…” Sami said, frowning then looking down.
Lysander sighed then looked at May, “What should we do?”
Sami didn’t look real happy, about possibly going back to the castle.
Phoenix stood off to the side watching them. Then Lysander whispered to May, “Take Sami, somewhere safe. I will catch up.”
May raised an eyebrow then saw the man who was eying them, “Don’t get involved, we can tell the police.”
“I’ll be fine, just get her somewhere safe.” Lysander said, walking over Phoenix. May dragged Sami to a mini game that was down the street east from the dancing circle. “Hello Lysander, what’s wrong?”
“Why are you here?”
“Came to warn you, some uninvited guests will be coming soon.” Phoenix chuckled.
Lysander looked at him then said, "What do you mean?"
"Some people here are going to be after few people here. Where is Zero?" Phoenix asked, looking at Lysander.
Lysander narrowed his eyes then said, "He has no time for, such boring things like this."
Only two people knew who Zero was, only his friend, and Phoenix. No one else knew the saviour to many people, to the authorities he was a out law. Lysander looked through the crowd, a selected group of people had super powers, you could call them.
There was a small group of four or three people, who will create alter realities. If they catch you are screwed.

A man approached Lysander stopping him in his tracks, Lysander knew who and what the guy was. If he made eye contact with the man, he would be sent into a coma. Until the Dreamer decided he was done with him.

Mason yawned as he sat in the castle library as his private teacher, taught him all about the wars that went on in the past. "This stuff is 100% useless, its useless as a simple piece of rusty old iron."
"Mason, please behave." The teacher sighed, as she tried her best to control the student who wouldn't listen to anyone, but his ego.
A small, bald man who wasn't in shape ran into the library and whispered something into her ear, her eyes widen. As if the small words, stopped her heart. A few small words, can change a life for the best or for the worse.
Mason overheard, he grinned at how wonderful the words sounded together.


Lysander woke up in a unknown cabin outside of the city, he was on a pile of blankets
