The lumen tried desperately to pump as much light as it could into the woman. Unfortunately, it didn’t have that much time to do so. It was so focused on sharing the light that it did not see, nor could it avoid, the piercing black tendrils that came for it.

Impaled, it hung lifelessly from the tendrils, its blood seeping down along their length. After a few moments, the lumen disintegrated, fading away into a few sparkles of light that faded quickly.
