How do you say "Clear away the dark" in latin? I need to know because I'm writing a fantasy story.

Please explain what your phrase literally means, as well.

Many ways to translate this saying. The two I suggest are
AUFER TENEBRAS or ADIME OBSCURITATEM if you mean a kind of command addressed to only one person or AUFERTE TENEBRAS or ADIMITE OBSCURITATEM if it's addressed to more people.
Verbs and nouns are interchangeable so choose the one you like the best.

EDIT
Aufer and Auferte are the sing. and plural imperative of the verb Auferre that means "to carry away, remove"
Adime and Adimite are the sing. and plural imperative of the verb Adimere that means "to snatch away/off, to remove"
Obscuritatem is the sing, accusative (direct object) of obscuritas that means darkness
Tenebras is the plur. accusative (direct object) of tenebra that means darkness (pl.),obscurity.
