Dazzling Lights of Darkness

The sun had started to set and the sky was painted in a tinge of orange and gold. The clouds present in the sky were not white but dark, giving the entire atmosphere an eerie vibe. 

I was standing at the main entrance gate of the Silver Garden Academy while I glanced up at the sky. A gentle gust of wind passed by making the scarf I wore dance in the air and make my hair flutter. 

It was the mid of February and the winter season was nearing its end, but the winds still carried a chill in them. 

I let out a breath as I looked at the path in front of me. The lights of Havenreach had lit up the whole city in dazzling brightness, however, there was still an emptiness in it. 

As if something was missing, something important. If I were to make a guess I'd say that it was something that made a functioning human society into a "human" society.
