Moon Gate Guardians
However, this connection between her and this collection of vagabond rebels did nothing to aid his assurance that Chiri would return unscathed from her next assignment.
Unestablished as an entity at the time she had met them on the train, the group had chosen to unify under their current title after this event. Only four gateways lending their powers to the Alliance, the Moon Gate was a reference to a power that had been shunned from its walls. The fifth gateway only mentioned in some ancient scriptures, it had become nothing but a myth over the centuries. A gate of the spiritual realm, it was typically associated with life and death. Fabled to transcend the Day and Night Gates as the source

Betrothed (Book #6 in the Vampire Journals)
"I say that ALL THEATRES must be shut down! All idle time must be FORBIDDEN! Return to your houses of worship!”
It reminded Caitlin of the people who preached from street corners in New York City. In some ways, nothing had changed.
They came to another gateway, right in the middle of the street, with a sign that read “Temple Barre, City Gate.” Caitlin was amazed that cities actually had gates. The large, imposing gate was open, for people to pass right through, and Caitlin wondered if they closed it at night. On either side stood more guards.

Goddesses or 49 ½ shades of charcoal
Just as well I couldn’t!
Never mind Babylon – cradle of civilisation, or Babylon’s Whore – take it how you will. We were in Exodus 14:21. The waters parted. Worse still, we were about to exit Exodus and be catapulted into Revelations 17:1.
When had the southbound Northern Line, 18.50, emptied at Borough? Why? Travellers were pouring from the train to the platform and heading for the escalators. I was jerked from my reverie. A guard stuck his head round the door of the now nearly empty carriage.

Princess of the Pack, Finding Her Mate
We halted, shielding our eyes from the overwhelming glow.
As the light gradually dimmed, we opened our eyes to an astonishing sight. Before us stood a colossal gate, shimmering with an otherworldly light. Engraved upon it were symbols that seemed ancient and familiar, yet utterly foreign.
Our gaze was drawn to a particularly prominent symbol at the gate's center – a symbol that mirrored the one found in the prophecy. It pulsed with an eerie light, casting long shadows that danced around us.
Suddenly, the gate began to tremble, the symbol glowing brighter. An indescribable force pulled us towards it, the very air around us seeming to hum with energy. The ground beneath us shook, and a deafeni

PATIENT ZERO -The lone survivor
"You are Patient Zero. You hold the uncorrupted Source in your blood. You have the power to break the Iron Lady’s leashes. You have the power to tear down the walls. The time for hiding is over, child. You must decide what kind of symbol you are going to be. Will you be the demon they fear, or the shield we need?"
Before Baraka could formulate an answer, the heavy, rusted iron floodgate at the entrance of the Warren violently shuddered.
The sound was deafening—a massive, concussive BOOM that shook dust from the ancient brick ceiling. The refugees screamed in panic, scattering away from the entrance.
The floodgate buckled inward, a massive dent appearing in the center of the thick iron.

The Day She Stopped Waiting
Like something had convinced life to stay away.
Then Eryx looked toward the cliffs.
Then:
"I don't like this."
Then Valen nodded.
Then:
"Neither do I."
The first sign appeared shortly before sunset.
A city gate.
Ancient.
Massive.
Carved directly into the mountainside.
Then everyone stopped.
Immediately.
Because the gate should have been impossible.
The structure was enormous.
Larger than any city entrance they had ever seen.
Covered in silver stone.
Covered in symbols.
Covered in time.

Badblood
Serra envied her sister for that because it was something that she lacks.
There were six of them that stood near the gate. The gate was made of huge and thick slabs of wood painted in brown with the village's symbol at the centre - each half of the gate and the symbol formed when the gate closed. The wall stood high as ever, blocking her view of the outside world. There were towers above the wall where archers occupy, bow and arrow ready and a cauldron of fire beside them.

The Princess in the Shadows
The closer they drew, the more the Gate stirred.
At the top of the stairs, the tower yawned open to the night. The Crescent Gate stood before him—silent, but alive. A pulse thrummed through the air, deep and resonant.
Veyron faced the Crescent Gate. The ancient archway exuded an enigmatic aura, containing the knowledge of ages long forgotten. It did not speak, yet Veyron knew that within lay a language beyond words. The Gate was alive with energy, pulsing in rhythm with his presence, acknowledging his authority as its chosen guardian.

the devils mirror
“I passed notes. Not Revelations.”
Larkam smiled faintly before growing serious. “Gabriel didn’t destroy the mirror. He couldn’t. Only seal it. There’s an old text—one few have seen. It speaks of a gate, guarded by hellhounds, buried during a sandstorm that wiped out a Sumerian civilisation.”
He stepped to a side door and pushed it open. Beyond, stairs wound downward into shadow.
“Come,” he said. “There’s more you need to see.”

The Damned Alpha
“An ancient gateway, probably built by the same civilization that created the crystal. This must be how they contained whatever was down here.”
Ethan approached the door, his fingers brushing against the symbols. As he did, the patterns began to shift and change, rearranging themselves into a language he didn’t recognize but somehow understood.
“It’s a warning,” he said slowly, reading the symbols aloud. “‘Beyond this gate lies the Abyss, where the darkness sleeps. Disturb it at your peril, for its hunger knows no bounds.’”
Lena shuddered, stepping back from the door. “We can’t go in there. We have to find another way out.”

Frequently Asked Questions
The gateway to hell is often depicted with symbols that send chills down your spine. Flames are a big one—eternal fire representing endless torment. Then there's the classic image of a gaping maw or monstrous mouth, like in Dante's 'Inferno,' where the entrance is described as a terrifying abyss. I've always been fascinated by how different cultures visualize it; some use broken chains or inverted crosses to symbolize rebellion against divinity.
Another recurring motif is gates themselves—massive, iron, often inscribed with ominous phrases like 'Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.' Brimstone (burning sulfur) is another biblical nod, tying back to Sodom and Gomorrah. And let's not forget the guardian figures: three-headed dogs like Cerberus, or fallen angels with smoldering eyes. It's wild how these symbols stick across centuries, from medieval art to modern horror games like 'Doom.' Makes you wonder what primal fears they're tapping into.
