Korath Guardians Novels & Stories

Crown archers unleashed a volley of silver-tipped arrows from the ridge that rained down like deadly stars. One arrow grazed Lyra’s shoulder, burning as it passed. She hissed in pain, and Kael’s roar shook the valley. He spun toward the ridge, eyes blazing with fury, but before he could charge, the lead guardian moved with surprising speed and positioned itself as a living shield, its massive body absorbing the next volley. The ancient beings had chosen. They would protect the heir. Lyra realized the terrible truth as the guardians drained the land's power and her movements grew more labored inside her.

“We come to pledge our loyalty, show our respect and commitment to the Guardians of the Realm. We will live by the covenants of the Guardians. We wanted you to know that you have nothing to fear nor any need for concern about my coven. When he is done speaking, he and his coven all take a knee, bowing their heads. I look at Liam, not knowing what to say. He looks just as lost as I am. I step forward, feeling Liam shift behind me, ready to pull me behind him if this is a trap. “Rise King Urien. I appreciate you coming here to let me know of your allegiance. It was never my intention to kill any of your kind, but when anyone comes for me or mine, they will be destroyed.” Alessia has pushed for

He wiped a streak of blood and sweat from his pale face and nodded sharply. “I’m with you,” he said, his voice dropping an octave, steadying. “Always. Within three minutes, the Guardians had gathered in the main hall. These were the elite—the fiercest, most disciplined warriors the pack had to offer. Yet, looking at them now, their expressions were uncharacteristically grim. The sanctuary of our home had been violated. A Luna had been taken from the very heart of our territory. It was a declaration of war, and every single wolf in the room knew the stakes.

Until they landed on me. He didn’t look impressed. “Bram, you’re here,” Dad said. My stomach twisted. Please don’t tell me this is a fucking therapist. I don’t have a mental issue. “Renzo,” he turned toward me, “this is Bram Hale. Your new bodyguard.” I blinked. “Body—what?” Mom stepped in quickly. “Honey, it’s just until we figure out who—who did this. Someone obviously wants your dead and we can’t take any chances.”

“What is this thing?” The Kodoku parasites seemed to be pervasive, and their enemies were defenseless against them. Soon, the parasites had drilled themselves into the mouths and noses of those tomb guardians. Next, some of them fell to the ground and howled in pain, with black blood flowing out of their mouths and noses. “Why is this happening to us? Why?” Zachariah watched as the tomb guardians fell down one by one. He was pretty arrogant earlier when he thought that he had Tyr and the others in the palm of his hand, but he was now frozen in place. Once again, despair filled his heart.

She could see each opening before it happened, nudging NaKoa just enough to avoid an incoming shadow strike, whispering through the bond of the Guardians’ powers to keep them coordinated. NaKoa lunged, teeth bared and eyes glowing neon green, snapping at the master’s side. He twisted, barely dodging, but the move forced him back toward Margaret, who let out a roar that sent the ground trembling. Flames arced from her wings, forcing him to shield his face. Athena leapt, jaw snapping, intercepting a shadow creature trying to flank the master. “Not today!” she growled, sending it skidding across the floor. Saelari dove from above, fiery talons slashing, feathers leaving trails of blinding light

When Rowan spoke, his voice carried to every ear through both mundane acoustics and the supernatural connections binding them all. “You have been summoned because we must speak truth. About our achievements, our limits, and our future.” He paused, letting the words settle. “One year ago, Elara became the first guardian, sacrificing her mortal existence to create a living ward that could hold back the Void permanently. Since then, thirteen more have joined her, transforming themselves to share the burden and extend protection.” Murmurs of acknowledgement rippled through the crowd. Everyone knew this history. “Together, the guardians protect three thousand square miles. Eight hundred and forty

She nodded quietly before slipping her little hand into mine. “I just don’t like seeing everyone like this.” Neither did I. The Secret Abode had always been lively despite its secluded location. Children laughed freely. Warriors trained openly. The elders shared stories beneath the ancient trees. Now… It felt as though a dark cloud had settled over everyone’s hearts. Suddenly— The massive wooden doors creaked open. Every conversation stopped instantly. Karl walked inside first. Behind him were six Moon Guardians, each wearing grim expressions. Their robes were stained with dirt and dried blood, and one of them had a deep tear running across his shoulder sleeve.

That felt like a dagger piercing my heart repeatedly. Actually, I am a guardian to a mafia king, Romano Starvo. We called him Lord Romano, but not me. I called him father. He found me on the lying road almost lifeless when I was ten and kept me under his roof. In return, I served him. I became his right hand, and he was the only person who knew my real identity.

I felt they weren't ready to let us pass into the Woods, and I wondered why not, when Sarah was busy taking pics and rubbing on them. They glowed with an impressive light which made all of us just shook in their presence. "I am Astanaklastika." Guardian of Speed. The first one on the left said. "I am Dynamisus."
