Chapter 13: Luz
On Homeworld…
December 13th.
The darkness was thick and suffocating that night on Homeworld. In more ways than one. The news of what had happened, about the Winter Shadow's latest attack, had spread fast. In less than three days, everyone knew. And it terrified them.
All of the sudden, the cold that hadn't bothered them before felt so much worse. The heavy snowfall drowned out all light and monsters hid in the shadows. The nights seemed impossibly long like it would never. Gems stayed indoors, some huddled up in small groups, others alone.
Many gems were alone.
But as they gazed outside their dark windows, they saw something outside. A light in the distance, slowly coming closer.
There walked a lady they all knew, who shined white light. Behind her, two other ladies glowing bright yellow and soft blue. They were clearing the way through the snow for the long procession of gems walking behind them, their gems glowing brightly in the dark night.
They were singing something. The gems inside couldn't quite make out what, but it didn't matter what the words were. They still understood the meaning behind the soft tones reaching them.
Hope.
AUTHOR'S NOTES
This chapter is meant to act as a bit of a cooldown after the last few chapters hence why it's so short. We'll get back to all the fun stuff next chapter.
The title is a reference not just to Lucia, but also to Luz Noceda from The Owl House, which I'm currently liveblogging over at Lampman Liveblogs on tumblr.
