Light Gate Novels & Stories

His face was carved from granite. Far ahead, at the base of the black spires, a pillar of red light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds. The air pressure dropped so fast my ears popped. A sound followed—a low, mechanical grinding that sounded like a massive stone door being forced open. The Gate was waking up early. I looked down at my palm. The crescent-and-star was burning so hot it singed my skin. "It knows we're here," I said, my voice steady despite the cold terror spiking in my chest.

He couldn’t tell which hurt more. By dawn, he reached the peak. And there it was. A door that wasn’t a door. It hovered in the air—a curtain of light that pulsed like a heartbeat, glowing softly against the black stone. Its surface rippled as though made of living glass, bending the air around it into a perfect, trembling silence. The Echo Gate. Soren’s breath caught. His pulse thundered in his ears. He reached out, trembling, but before his fingers could touch the light, the air fractured—splintering like a mirror under too much pressure.

The blue lights on the walls cut out were replaced by a pulsing glow that lit up the concrete floors. My heart started racing. I jumped up from the stool, my hand went to the hunting knife at my waist, my eyes darting toward the ceiling. "LUS! What's happening? Is it an attack? Did Justin find us?" The automated turret above the gate whirred violently, its barrels snapped up as the red laser eye spun frantically.. It wasn't pointing outside. It was pointing at the center of the warehouse floor. The ground beneath my feet started rumbling a growl shaking the building. The blue system screen in front of me, Reformed into a massive golden banner that filled my vision with large flashing letters

In another, she stood alone, surrounded by ash, Lucian and their children’s voices fading into the smoke. The line between prophecy and madness blurred more with each passing night. After ten days, they reached the Gates of Lumina. They were not gates in the traditional sense. They were pillars of light rising from the earth, invisible to the eye unless one carried the blood of flame. Elizabeth stepped forward. Her hand glowed faintly. The air shimmered. Stone melted into mist. A hidden path revealed itself. Lucian, Kieran, Saelith, and Jaxon followed. The golden wolf walked alone.

This was no ordinary portal; it was a gateway fortified by the latest security measures. At first glance, it appeared seamless—a sleek surface devoid of handles or keyholes. Yet, at Landon's approach, the door seemed to awaken. A soft beep resonated a signal that triggered a response from the electronic guardian. The surface rippled with a faint blue light, revealing the hidden intricacies beneath.

Even James, who had transformed into a lightsaber, was caught up in the chaos. Suddenly, under the onslaught of millions of stars, the Gate of Anonymous erupted in a brilliant black light, trembling violently as if on the brink of collapse. At the northeastern corner of the Gate of Anonymous, a graceful figure seated cross-legged on a blossoming lotus burst forth with a myriad of colorful lights, intercepting the ferocious shockwaves. Opening his eyes, two beams of black and white shot forth, and from his gaze bloomed hundreds of millions of black lotuses, humming as they spun, swallowing the relentless shockwaves.

Not now. Not tonight. A beam of pale silver light shot upward in the distance, splitting the sky for a heartbeat. Ryder stopped dead. The Moon Gate was visible now, a towering arch of ancient stone and luminous energy, woven centuries ago by the first priestesses of Lunaris. It had held armies back. It had kept monsters at bay. It had protected his people long before he came into existence. Now it flickered like a dying candle. “No,” Ryder whispered, taking off in a run.

It seemed he knew something when Noah said the word “Starlight” On the other hand, Lux was trying to calm down and took a deep breath. The blonde-haired girl had a faint smile on her face, “Huft … looks like I have to use that. Like it or not, I have to do it in an emergency like this. In fact, I really don't want to use it because the side effects are quite troublesome.” Lux who showed a calm expression and she suddenly smiled faintly, it made the man who attacked her feel that something was strange.

--- GREYTECH Private Bunker – Lily’s War Room Far away, in a secure, black-glass chamber of the GREYTECH network, Lily’s team was finalizing preparations. Holographic maps shimmered across the room, casting light over faces set in grim determination. Witches, warlocks, Lycans, and rogue agents—all had answered her call. The insignia of her network gleamed on their armor: silver branches over twin moons, a symbol that had become synonymous with both fear and hope.

"Understood agent, I'll disable the lights on the floor for twenty minutes and send false alerts to security that a disturbance has occurred on the fifty first floor." Carmen smiled again; this was going to be fun. Amelia had her own little personality which made her forget for a moment that she was only an AI. After a minute or so the lights flickered out and she put on her night vision glasses. She turned the corner and watched the guards who were looking around trying to figure out what had happened. She heard one trooper call security, but he quickly ended the call. He told the other soldiers that security was down and the lines were jammed.
