Gate Of Babylon Fate Novels & Stories

“What do you mean?” “He’s in a coma,” Daniel said while he rubbed his temple. “The stab wounds were deep, and he lost a lot of blood. One of the blades punctured near his ribs and affected some of his organs. If your father wasn’t a Lycan, he would have died instantly.” I clenched my fists hard. “So you’re saying he still has a chance?” Daniel hesitated. “I can’t promise anything, my lord. His body is fighting, but his chances of survival are very low. Only the Moon Goddess can decide his fate now.”

My mind kept drifting back to the scroll hidden in the basement, to the runes I had drawn on the floor. I had found the scroll hidden among my grandmother's things after she died. It was ancient, written in a language that had taken me weeks to decipher. It spoke of the Fates—Abraxas, the Fate of Life; Kaius, the Fate of Death; and Ryuu, the Fate of Destiny. The Fates ruled the universe, deciding the course of every life, every death, every destiny. The scroll claimed that one could summon a Fate and ask for a boon. But it came with a warning: to call on a Fate was to risk death. I didn't care about the risk. If I didn't do something, I would be exposed as a Shade during my first shift, and

--- I became cold. A black gateway appeared where the earth split, and the ground underneath us began to break apart. It was like to seeing the realization of a nightmare. The air itself was choked by the dark mist that poured out of it. As the ground twisted, I saw dark, shadowy creatures emerging, dressed in garments that glistened with an unearthly strength. In that moment, I realized that Veyron's strategy had included more than simply a combat conflict. It was a custom. The stakes were greater than we could have ever imagined in a game of life and death.

“I don’t.” He smiled. “No matter how you found out, you’re not leaving today.” He took out a rope and tied me up. Despair swallowed me whole. I cursed myself for being stupid. I had already been betrayed by Lily once in my previous life, yet I still trusted her again. Tears streamed down my face. Just as Jackson raised a knife and swung it toward me, Lily’s scream came from outside. The door was kicked open. Several people rushed in and restrained Jackson.

With my parents’ blessings, I made a wish and blew out the candles. Just as I was about to cut the cake, the sudden ringing of the doorbell interrupted us. I steadied myself and opened the door, only to find Joel standing there. Rain was falling in a fine drizzle outside. Thunder rumbled from time to time, streaks of white lightning cutting through the sky. Joel was soaked from head to toe. Water dripped steadily from his hair, but he did not seem to care. Smiling, he held out a beautifully wrapped jewelry box.

I heard a loud howl which made me jump. Justin snickered. “Scared? The moon isn’t even completely out yet.” Rachel cracked her knuckles. “I can’t wait to shift once the moon comes up.” I gulped. I planned on finding the treasures and getting away completely from them before that could happen. In this game, Justin was playing the role of an Alpha since we didn’t have an Alpha in our group, Rachel was the Beta, and Logan was the Gamma. Me? Well, I was still kind of…me. Lowest in rank.

Oh goddess. 'Stay strong. Fight, but don't give yourself away, and try really fucking hard not to shift. If you have to, the easiest exit is to the north. The gate on that side only has four warriors guarding it. Then run east, then south. Find the river, and I'll get to you.' 'Fuck, Samuels, what is this?' 'Gladiator games,' is all he says, and everything in me chills. Like naming it makes it any less monstrous.

And in another minute the Gatekeeper vanished out of thin air — Mayari Tabbu sent him to send a message to the others and she hoped that the Goddess of fate would begin to play fair. =================== “What are you doing here?” Luntian asked, confused and all as she stared at the Gatekeeper who always seemed like he’s bored or out of his mind. They were about to climb on the last wall that separates the Central land from the thicket forest of the East. “Why are you just standing there?”

Before we get into the realm, we need to talk about the fates. The fates go by the names, Arantxa, Malfada and Ataturé, each having the respective role of creating the life of a mortal, Speaking good, bad and challenges into the life of the mortal and ending the mortal's life. These beings are seen as heavily ornamented females clothed in white gowns and jewelries of plain gold. Over to Abaddon the realm itself. Abaddon is a certified realm that is connected towards earth, serving as the realm of the fates. Possessing red clouds and an ugly and dead environment, it lives up to its name, "Abaddon" which translates to destruction.

I looked at Kael, bound and burning at the center of the chamber. At the shadow waiting to claim him. At the throne-bearer watching me with keen, calculating interest. And then— The Gate spoke directly to me. Evacuation available. Primary axis survival probability: minimal. Secondary axis survival probability: acceptable. My breath caught. It wanted me to leave. To save myself. To let Kael become the anchor so the system could stabilize. “No,” I whispered. The Gate pulsed, insistence sharpening. Choose. The chamber shook violently as the shadow surged forward again, its presence flooding the space with ancient hunger.
