Through The Gates Of Splendor Audiobook นิยาย & เรื่องราว

The blue flames surrounding the chamber suddenly turned brilliant white. The ground trembled. A deep voice echoed from somewhere beneath the earth. Not loud. Not threatening. Simply ancient. The Guardians are united. The spiral staircase lit itself with rows of hidden lanterns stretching into the darkness below. Far beneath them… A massive pair of stone doors slowly began to open. As the gap widened, a brilliant golden light spilled upward. And with it came something no one had expected. Music. Soft. Ancient. Beautiful. Henry felt tears fill his eyes. “I know that melody.”

“You burn like one.” The Hollowflame leapt higher, gold tangled with white. The bridge flared, forming a single arch ahead a gate of liquid light. “Then open it,” she whispered. “See if it bows or bites.” POV: Dorian The gate was alive. It pulsed like a heart made of glass, each beat shedding feathers of flame. Through the glow I glimpsed the outline of towers Solara, whole and radiant, no ruin, no fracture. The realm of gods had survived its own fall.

His sword glowed fiercely, but its light only made the desolation starker. “Look,” Nadir whispered. “This is what’s coming. The Boundless One will wake, and all will end. Unless…” “Unless what?” Nadir’s eyes gleamed. “Unless you embrace what you already are.” It gestured — and before Soren’s eyes, the sky parted. A massive gate of gold and black iron rose from the ruins, carved with the same sigils that now lined his arm. From within, voices whispered his name — countless, pleading, desperate.

Some whispered as they passed, their words too hushed to catch, but the ripple of curiosity followed me like a cloak. Crossing the outer court, I reached the great bronze doors that separated it from the inner court. The doors were massive, etched with runes that pulsed faintly in the dim light, old magic woven into metal. Two guards stood on either side, spears crossed until I approached. Their eyes flicked to me, then to each other, and after a silent exchange, they stepped aside, the doors opening with a deep groan. The inner court was warmer, richer, the scent of roses and sandalwood wrapping around me immediately. Here the marble floor gleamed brighter, streaked with veins of gold that

Vame had said those words before, but now, here, the truth of them sank into Rael’s bones. Then the path changed. A gateway rose ahead of them, if it could be called that. It was a twisted structure of metal and bone, standing impossibly tall, the edges shifting, folding in on themselves like something alive. The moment Rael’s eyes met it, the book in his hands screamed. He gasped, nearly dropping it as the text moved, lines of ink coiling and writhing like living veins. The words reformed, sharp and final: ENTER AND BE JUDGED.

CHAPTER 133 Something cracked. A soft sound at first, like glass being tapped by a nail. But then it spread—deep and sharp—through the world, through the sky, through the heavens. Crack. Crack. Crack. Nihareth stood at the edge of the Gate of Dawn, a massive glowing arch made of pure divine crystal. It shimmered in white and gold, humming with the energy of the gods. His long cloak billowed behind him. Black mist moved with his steps. Around him, his cult stood silently—hooded, faceless, loyal.

His first sight of the city gates confirmed that they had not been exaggerating. At first he simply took in the wonder. The massive gates were of highly polished timbers, strapped with ornate, heavy iron. The size alone made him realize that an immense amount of work had gone into their construction. What took his breath away, however, was that inset into each side of the gate was the image of a Dragon. Clearly representing the Guardians, the one on the left was composed of glittering quartz and pearl, scintillating in the growing daylight. He couldn’t begin to estimate the sheer amount of those elements were used to create the glorious silhouette. A flame of worked gold was inlaid issuing f

My door was the most magnificent, made of white marble and gold, with four exquisite heart-shaped locks on it. [System Notification: A "key" is required to open the Gate of Salvation.] I walked to my door and examined the four locks. Each one pulsed with a different energy, reminding me of my family. "The system didn't give me any keys," I said, confused. Aethelan came to my side, a flicker of pain in his red eyes. "Aurora, you know what the keys are, don't you?" Of course, I knew. But I didn't want to admit it.

I leaned into his touch, drawing strength from him. My heart pounded as I stepped toward the mountain’s half hidden gate that was totally not there before, the carvings glowing faintly under my touch, their ancient lines whispering secrets I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear. Darius’s hand was warm in mine, his presence a steady anchor as the warriors flanked us, their claws scraping the dirt, eyes sharp for any threat. Seraphina’s words echoed in my mind—the gate demands a price—but there was no turning back.

“You were the day you walked into my life. But I love watching you realize it for yourself.” We walked back to the pack house together, and I was struck again by how much had changed in such a short time. A month ago, I’d been broken, rejected, exiled. Now I was home, loved, powerful. Now I was whole. “There’s something I want to show you,” Kade said as we entered the building. He led me through corridors I’d never explored before, down to a lower level. He stopped before an ornate door, carved with wolves and moons.
