The Gate Guardian Novels & Stories

“What kind of places?” “Different every time,” I said. “But last night… I saw one made entirely of crystal. It looked alive. There was a heart—beating inside the structure. And when I touched it, I heard a name.” “What name?” “Velaris.” Aaron’s expression changed instantly. “Velaris?” Edward’s eyes narrowed. “You know it?” Aaron hesitated, rubbing the scar along his jaw. “It’s not a place. It’s a person—or at least it was. Velaris was the first Guardian of the Gate. The one who created it.”

“The day has not come when you need help. I will be watching from my quarters. I am casting the barrier spell from there. Asher, The Warrior Guardian, is a taker of lives. I don’t want mine to be next.” He pulled Marina close to him so he could see the truth in her eyes. “Coward! So that’s it then? Put the barrier up and hide in your quarters till it’s done?” She looked away from him. Legarde releases his grip. “Then, why agree to this?” “Those are my orders, my Lord commands it.” “Get the barrier up on my signal.” Legarde turned his back to her and stomped towards the cave, trying to think of the exact moment when he became a Guardian exterminator.

He lets out a cry that echoes across the realm. Let them come. Let them try. I place a note upon the headmaster’s desk. It appears with a flicker of violet-blue light and a soft thump as an ancient ruby lands beside it, warm to the touch, thrumming with alarm magic. Malric, The wards have been awakened. I have deployed the following guardians: Storin and Glorin – Front Gate Gargoyles Kiana – Sky Patrol, Serpent of Flame Flan – Bell Tower Griffin, Vision Guard

But before the final sigil could lock into place, a shadow moved across the surface. It wasn’t an illusion. A figure stepped forward from the gates themselves, as if born from the stone. Cloaked in silver, his face obscured by a mask of mirrored crystal, he radiated an aura that froze the breath in Mia’s lungs. The Seer inhaled sharply. “A Guardian.” The figure raised a hand, and the runes across the gates flared violently. The silence deepened, suffocating, and for the first time, Mia’s chest locked—she couldn’t breathe.

said the man. "Just a little. Ten. " Dark said plainly. "Fine, you can still come here and help me." Trans sighed. "I'll help you, don't worry," Dark added Dark turned to his watch. 'It's time.' Dark stood up, took his gloves and coat from the drawer and put them on. Death Guardian Invisibility Coat serves as their protection to normal people's eyes. The only people who can see them are people who have died and are called people with strange abilities or a third eye.

At that moment, Maxine pointed to the statue on the gate and said, “Could this statue be the key to opening the gate? I once heard my teacher say that powerhouses of the Ancient Heavenly Court Age would place statues on their gates. These statues had their own consciousness and would guard the property. “ James looked around and saw the statue on the gate. The statue looked slightly worn out, and it was hard to identify its appearance. James asked, “Did your teacher tell you how to activate the statues?” Maxine thought awhile and said, “He did say the guardian will appear if an external force strikes the entrance.” “Let me try.” James raised his palm and thrust it at the gate. Boom! A potent

She noticed a weird keypad, and it suddenly made sense. “Interesting”, Mayeli mumbled. “The guard has his post in the basement and only you and I know about his existence. He opens and locks the gate. He'll also be the one to answer the door when there's a visitor”. “What's he, an invisible man?” Mayeli asked, feeling a bit scared. “Are you scared?” He replied, laughing. “Of course not”. “Don't be scared, he's here to protect us”, Killian said, patting her head affectionately.

A wad of cold fear formed in her stomach. “What gate?” she asked, confused. His smile widened beneath the cracked mask. “The Gate of Collapse.” A ripple of horror spread through the room. A Noctis envoy shouted, “That’s a myth!” A Solaris judge protested, “That gate cannot exist!” Ariadne stiffened. “Explain yourself.” The assassin stretched his fingers, corrupted luminous dancing between them. “The Gate is real. And only one soul can unlock it.” He pointed at Alessia with two fingers. “Yours.”

After being assured that it was just me, only then did I slowly and gently open the door. Actually, I was waiting for Gunner to make a fuss the moment I started opening the door. I mean, he's a bodyguard. He’s got good senses, though they're kind of failing him when it comes to me, but his door being opened in the middle of the night was something he will never not notice, right? But what I was waiting for did not happen at all. No one was making a fuss, no one was surprised, and no one was questioning me about what I was doing. In fact, no one was inside the room at all.

He was the King. "Did... did it work?" I whispered, my vision fading to grey. "It worked," he choked out, pressing his forehead to mine. "But the Gate... Elara, the Gate is closing. We have to go now." I looked toward the obsidian archway. It was flickering, the black-water surface shrinking. But standing in front of it, blocking our only path home, was my mother.
