Awakening in a dark cell, Adda is seized, bound, gagged and blindfolded by two strangers who drag him into a carriage and hustle him out of the city. He knows very little – only that their intent is murderous, and that if he wants to live he'll have to think fast and act faster.
But then he learns a little more, and knows he must escape, at whatever cost. He has to take what he's learned to a child he met years ago -- who lives, now, in another universe...
"Darkness and Light" is a short story.
