RISK - Live before you die; and vice versa

“You must leave while it still night.” Maven reminded Ayden.
“Is that so we might slip past the shadows before they wake?” Kembr asked hopefully.
“No!” snapped Ayden. “It is so they know that it was we who woke them and dared interrupt their sleep!”
The way is full of peril. “Must we beckon it?” asked Kembr.
Maven knew it was not fear but thought that guided Kembr’s queries. He looked past Ayden and spoke to her what she already knew from her dreams.
“The shadows rule the night. They hide blinded by the day and thus cannot be seen. The day is free. It is during the night they take mankind captive keeping them in their slumber.”
Ayden continued Maven’s thoughts,” we must walk into the shadows darkest place. Only there will we know if we have light enough.
