Description
Arael is an otherworldly being from the upper plane, a place similar to Heaven, full of Light. He now dwells on Earth, touched by Darkness, unable to return. When he rescues Sariel, an innocent angel from the clutches of Dark mages, he is no longer alone for the first time in centuries, but knows that he must return her home before she is also stranded on Earth.
The question is, does she wish to go?

- B-whyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A little pinch a sugar. Then add a pound more. Then a ton of sugar was dropped out of the sky. A pinch of salt. Then add pound of butter. Don't forget the flour. Then stir. Then leave in the oven half an hour then flip it. After baking put frosting. With that we have a short sweet romantic story
- BonesTDRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0An interesting and unique short story, in the style of Fantasy/Romance. The concept of Light and Darkness and how they interact within the beings of the story is portrayed excellently, and the emotions and characters are simply extraordinary. The writing really flows well, and is easy to understand and be drawn into this very heartwarming tale!
- CristianBoyRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Take my 5 * review and leave. Lovely story,last chapter gave me a few goosebumps
- newgen333Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0A splendid blend of feelings and emotion waves over you in this one. It opens a gate of a fateful encounter in a lonely world that only you are one of a kind whilst in an encounter of fate enraptures one more in this beautiful story of love and desire flooding though like dragons and the silent thoughts of a lonely souls mind and a fresh new souls thoughts combine in a love that'd make anyone shed tears and clap in the end. 5/5. Amazing!

I read this one about 9 months ago (and only created an account now) so I don't remember very well about the specifics concerning the rated categories. I'd give it a 5 though, I remember really liking it.
First off and what I find most interesting about this novel is its core concept of darkness and light. I'm really into philosophy/psychology and how humans work, and I didn't expect that kind of interesting ( + new to me) idea of darkness being motion/the will to change things and light being stasis/acceptance of things, those two existing in each human to varying degrees. Lolol now onto what actually happens in the novel xD
Seriously I wish it was longer p~q whenever I'm in my *escaping reality* mode due to various reasons (xD), I most often turn to romance stories to fill that emptiness inside (or sometimes shounen power growth face slapping hero stuff - but let's be honest, romances are just better for that xD). And one-on-one no harem romances at that, with co-dependency/reliance where the two leads (preferably both strong, maybe in different fields) are important af to each other, maybe healing each other's emotional wounds, protecting and accepting each other. Seriously why isn't it longer TAT XD no, jokes aside, .... why am I writing a review this long for a 5 chapter long novel ._. :'D
Anyway I really liked it and you may too so just read it, it'll take 1-2 hours at max so you won't lose much even if you don't like it... well you'd have lost the chance to have your emptiness inside filled during that time but stories won't do that for you anytime in the long run ;D if only they could orz XDD - TheGreatOneRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I read this when it came out two years ago. It's still instilled into my subconsious. The most beautiful and inspiring romance that made me laugh in happiness... and I'm a guy. I never experienced this with any other story EVER. 'Nuff said.
- armsdealer12Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I can not find anything bad, wrong or lacking in the story, the style, the grammar, nor the characters. The way it is written and how the message of the tale is presented to the readers is just right. Tolkien was an amazing writer and his tales made me cry with joy and sadness for I felt empathy for the characters and you sir is one of the few which made me shed tears for fictional individuals. Thank you.
- JoanBacRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5The story outline was plotted well. Character-wise, well thought of. World development was just so picturesque. The Prologue was so brilliantly done. Thumbs up to the author.
- The OxRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5Lonely Light is a very basic but well executed story, a romance between to beings from another plane.
The fundamental conflict of the story comes from Arael's nature. He was originally a being from a plane of light. He journeyed somehow to Earth, fascinated by its complexity, with both Light and Darkness able to exist within humans.
Unfortunately he did not realize that he would be permanently contaminated by Darkness if he stayed for too long, Darkness is incompatible with his home plane, so he was trapped.
He has essentially become something completely unique a being of both pure light and pure darkness. When Sariel is abducted to Earth and tortured, he rescues her and attempts to send her home before she is contaminated. Even though her presence relieves his long solitude.
Very good story.
