The smell, like death and decay condensed. It seemed to cling to the walls of the tunnels and hang in the air as repugnant as one might find a corpse which still swayed in its noose. The heinousness of the scent, only becoming more egregious as they continued further into the catacombs beneath the bustling streets of Ineset, Allen found that each breath he drew provoked a repulsed churning in his stomach.A rat, made fat by feasting on the bones of the deceased and the other hapless creatures that might live within them, brushing past his foot. Allen released a mild gasp, before recoiling back against the wall of the tunnel in disgust. Already traversing the morbid labyrinth for at least an hour now, he began to hope for any sign of the rogue mages’ hideout to be uncovered soon. Whilst acknowledging that their unlit corridors and seclusion were perfect for those who did not want to be found, Allen could not fathom how it was inhabited by any member of the living for long.Their route,

The office filled with the serenity of the subtle white noise of each person’s solitary or otherwise mundane activities. It was the frustrated sigh which stood out amongst them as Chiri stared at the black and white squares of the board in front of her. The mild amusement that her opponent as he derived some enjoyment at her expense, evident by the sly smirk on his face. Chiri finally plucked her bishop from the board, her brow furrowing as she placed the piece in the last movement available to her, she slouched back onto the soft leather couch in resignation.Aware of her defeat without him having to state it, Cazer still smiled as he declared smugly, “Check mate.” Sulking as she sustained another loss, Chiri crossed her arms in front of her chest as she muttered back at him sourly, “I hate this game.” The smirk of confidence he possessed from beating her repeatedly at chess that morning, unrelenting as he continued to stare back at her. The expression would have irked her more had s
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 1: Road to Vengeance
Allen Pierce stretched out his tired joints, contemplating the conclusion of another monotonous day. It was yet unknown to him that hislife was about to be thrown into turmoil. Nor, that he was soon to encounter the legendary villain, who would change the course of his destiny forever. An hour’s walk from the market square, the amount of people Allen met dwindled as he reached the outskirts of Ineset. Here, he and his grandfather lived in peace farming and making the trek into the town to sell their wares each week. The remote dirt path lit solely by a pale full moon there was little to see but the dark outline of the fields as they rippled in the soft breeze. His heavy footsteps and the faint chirp of crickets the only sounds disrupting the eerie stillness of the night. Until, to his astonishment, a figure martialized out of the darkness before him. Cautiously slowing to a stop, Allen instinctively felt unsettled by their sudden presence. Concealed, as a passi
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 2: The Lead
Allen rose from the wooden bar stool at the back of the pub. “Werewolf.” He repeated, as if the word fit perfectly into the puzzle in his dazed mind. Although, the possibility of such a creature being the culprit behind his grandfather’s death had crossed his mind prior. Allen had eliminated them from his list of suspects, on account of them being pretty self-aware. Not uncommon around the outskirts of Ineset, they mostly kept to themselves and rarely showed aggression towards humans. Only socializing within their packs, werewolves typically shied away from the noise and crowds in the city. It was unheard of that one should appear here now, much less in broad daylight. Resolute that this must be the answer he was searching for, Allen walked purposefully toward the door. Blocked by the beefy vendor as he threw his body across the entry “Don’t go out there, Son.” He said, the whiskers of his thick moustache bristling. “Let me through.” Allen dema
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 3: Close Encounter
Not moving an inch as it grazed past their head, they analyzed him coldly. The bullet grazing the hood of their cloak. It had fallen away to reveal the most hauntingly beautiful woman Allen had ever laid eyes upon. Her skin and hair as white as a ghost’s, the blood on her cheek was the only visible blemish. In stark contrast to her pale complexion, its bright red pigment seemed even more offensive. However, her striking appearance was not enough to offset her mocking smile and the viciousness hidden behind the fine features of her face. Surprised at first, Allen still perceived the woman to be a monster. Hands steadying on the pistol, he yelled towards his nemesis across the square, “That was a warning shot, next time I won’t miss!” The barrel of the gun pointing directly at the woman, he was bewildered when she was no longer in front of him. The hair on the back of his neck suddenly standing on end. Allen shivered, as a sweet voice whispered into his ear, “S
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 4: A Mistake
There was a tremor as the full weight of the beast hit the ground. The bullet piercing its heart mid lunge, it had fallen almost instantly. The slain beast clearly behind the Witch when Allen fired, he knew now that he had missed his target. On high alert he rapidly surveyed the square, until nn encircled pentagram glowed on the stones next to the subdued werewolf. The Witch’s form gradually taking shape. She appeared crouching beside it curiously. Allen’s rage withstanding, he quickly closed the gap between them. Leaving no more room for any of her tricks this time, he pressed the gun against the back of her head. Allen had never killed a person before. However, with his body shaking with anger and his vision blurred by the rain and his rage, he thought himself capable of murder in this moment. This realization only caused Allen to hate the Witch even more. “Witch, answer me.” He spat. “Did you kill Harold Pierce?” Feeling the cold barrel of Allen’s

Allen flung himself at the Witch. Landing with a splat as they hit the wet ground.“Say that again.” He snarled, pinning her beneath him. Her face calm, the Witch stared up at him impassively. Jaw clenched and breathing ragged, his face was distorted by the hatred, grief, and disgust that overwhelmed his otherwise naturally charming features. Flashing across his honest eyes, red from tears and sleepless nights, his emotions played like a kaleidoscope before the woman. Holding the young man’s gaze, the Witch observed the depths of his tortured soul. She knew the pain her words had inflicted yet could no longer remain silent about her involvement in Harold Pierce’s untimely demise.“I am responsible for Pierce’s death.” She announced, definitively. Allen’s grip on her arms growing more intense with her confession. The warm blood from her wound seeped between his fingers. Still he sustained his fervent hold on her. “Th
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 6: Dhryzic
Chiri Krane gasped for air. Trembling on the cold dark marble floor. She was thrown by the shadow like a discarded rag doll at the feet of its master. This was the third occasion she had been dragged into the Abyss by a shadow. Still she thought there would never come a day when it was not insanely terrifying experience. Completely isolated from the outside world, the Abyss was commanded by the magic users of a single family. Darker than a night without stars or the deepest part of the ocean, every second felt suffocating. At times it was silent enough the hear the blood rushing through your veins buzzing in your ears. Then, other times it contained the petrifying screams of anguish from every living thing it had ever consumed, their tortured wails entrapped there for all eternity. “Crazy bastard.” Chiri wheezed. Lifting her head enough to glare intently at the black patent leather shoes of Cazer Krane. “I see this foul-mouthed wench decided to return to us.” He rema
