The Gatekeeper Chronicles [Chapter 1]
Lucis.
Darcis.
Daikon.
Centura.
Hereth.
Sayule.
Six worlds, six realms beyond the wildest dreams & imaginations of mortals...Six planets with their own unique powers & properties, had at one time lived in peace & unity. Security was abundant. And trust was easy to gain. Perfection. Flawlessness. This was they way they existed. But for every perfect thing, there is one who wishes to taint it, & take it for their own.
The "Father," the ruler & creater of Darcis, the realm of darkness & wickedness...was one with such a wish. The Father had his own planet to command, to control, to rule. But it was not enough. He wanted more. And it was his greed & wicked desires that drove him & his children to invade the rest of the realms.
A war had began. Lucis, Daikon, Centura, Hereth, & Sayule all fought & battled against the Father & his darkness. An ongoing battle, for centuries. One that threatened to tear the very universe apart, piece by piece. And such would have happened if the Elders, the wisest & most powerful Guardians of each realm, had not acted swiftly & decisively.
The powers of the five Elders converged, banned together, locking the Father within the Void, sending a number of his children with him, & thus ending the war that had threatened to end all things. But it did not end without cost. Many lives had been lost. Many spirits had been broken. And peace, security...trust between each world ceased to exist.
There were fears, questions. "What if such a war were to occur again?" "What if one realm were to seek the domination of the rest, once more?" These were questions that soon became frequent. These were questions that haunted each realm. And so, the Elders, in order to quell these fears, created a solution that would leave the six realms divided forevermore. Gates were placed between each of the six realms.
These gates were shut, & locked tightly, never to be opened again. Or so...everyone had believed. But when the Elders passed on, their power left behind weakened. As the centuries would come to pass, The Gates would open. The Father would slowly but surely regain power, even from within the Void. And fear would strike the hearts of each inhabitant of each world.
But there were six beings, descending from each realm, that could close these gates again for a short time. Six beings that would be anointed with the blessing of the spirits of the Elders. Beings that would hold the keys to each of the six gates to each realm.
Every 100 years, these gates are opened. And every 100 years, the realms are at the risk of another war. Every 100 years, there are six beings chosen to close these gates, to keep the Father locked within the Void, to provide peace & security once again.
The Gatekeepers.

The Gatekeeper Chronicles [Chapter 1]: RISE===============>
==========================================]
"Xaiden..."
Blood red eyes opened at the sound of a very familiar voice. Black ears twitched, & blacker wings flexed just slightly. It was about time that he had called him. He was getting rather...restless. "It's time, my son." Dark lips curled slightly upward in a smirk. "That so? You've finally gotten sick of remaining still?" A dark voice as cold as a night with no moon echoed within the chambers of a half-destroyed palace. "No much more so than you, Xaiden. But I assure you that patience will reap rewards. As will planning." The figure simply folded his arms with a slight snort.
"I've been patient, that much is certain. So are we ready to begin, or not?" Not long after the question was asked, a dark, large & ominous aura filled the throne room. A symbol appeared within the empty center of the room, & with it...a portal slowly began to form. Slowly began to open. And the Darcisan prince soon realized, that after so many years of waiting & remaining dormant on a planet that was dying out of existence...It was finally time. He was finally free. Black wings twitched once again, & red eyes glinted with a bit of excitement.
But he wouldn't leave until he was told. No matter how anxious he was. "This gate has opened. And more are soon to follow. You know what you must do." Xaiden nodded once. "And you know I'll do it well." The voice chuckled once again. And with a single statement of approval, the Darcisan prince was off.
Somewhere, in a world of nothingness & emptiness, a long banished God waits patiently. Waiting for the moment that he is certain will come. "Earth. That filthy, lowly realm. You damned Guardians have tried to deceive me by hiding your little...treasures there. But I assure you, there is nothing that you can kept hidden forever. No matter how fast they run...No matter where they go...Every step brings the Keepers closer to ME."
=============================================
Fire. More and more of it. As I stagger though the flames, Tired. Burnt. Scarred, I fall to my kees in defeat. Hours and hours Ive been Seaching. For.... For..... For what!? A Beam of light shot out the of eye reddening smoke. For a moment I felt, Cool. A moments remfresh ment, Right before I saw A haze of someone. A familiar someone.
"Charles......" It spoke hollowly
"Huh?" I Mumered
And I foucusd on the coolness, I failed to realize the flame creeping closer to me.
AndI burst into flames, The searing heat eating away at my skin, and grew, Untill I passed out and awoke drenced in sweat.
The smell of wires and apple juice filled my nose. I was at home. Thankfully. As I got up, Half awake, All I could remember was the voice, and the shape. Its so familiar... It was a woman for sure. No doubt about that. I went to the bahtroom and let the water warm up. Who is she? Where do I know you from?
AS I Started dressing I Glanced at my watch. 8:34. Why was time so important to day again?
"Bro, we gotta go." David said as he shut off his Turntables.
"What? Where?" I questioned.
"Dont you remember?" He asked a bit anoyed.
"No." I Awnsered.
"November. 8. Saturday. You were just talking about it yesterday Dipshit!" He said as he headed down the stairs.
"Wait.... s**t!!!! SHITSHITSHITSHIT!!!!!" I exclaimed running after him. How could I forget? I am a Dipshit. Its Peya's Birthday. As David started His Lamborghini I hopped in.
"Dude what the hell!? Go get in your own Lambo!" He said. Jeez someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
"Drop me off at the dealership Remember?"
"Oh yeah... Sorry." He said regrettingly.
"Pfft. Oh yea and did you add the Nos bottle I gave you?" I asked grinning.
"Hell yea, Wait..." As he realizes what I mean. He Smirks his infamous smug, And rev's the engines twice.
I Pull my shades to my face a little closer, And Grin a little wider. As his senses go into Strider mode, I watch Him shift the clutch, hit the gas, and burnout all at once, As we skid away. As I watch the spedometer climb, I think to myself I can run faster than this, but still, Would want to dissapoint David while hes having his fun. And I guess im having fun too. As we fly by a hidden cop, lights flash.
"s**t..." I mutter.
"Bro. This is like ******** need for speed." As he Smirks and Injets the Nos, I feel the speed increse greatly.
"HELL YEA BRO!" I Shout, Grinning widley now. As I know the Flat highway, It runs like this for miles. But we had to exit at the next stop And instanly Video game mode kicked in.
"Bro Drift Right now." I Said clamly.
David's Smug increases and his Feet shift from the clutch to bakes to gas, and I Fell the car change from stright so angled, and we slide into the off ramp and He leaves the cop in the dust.
As we arive at the dealership, Were both smiling our faces off.
As we walk in, I glance at a few of the cars. Sleek black, Royal red, Neon orange, Yeah. This place is awesome. Your average Grown man would feel like a 3 year old here. I grin. the one place where Business men act like children. But I need to focus. You only came here to buy her a car. The lavender one. As David walks aound with his Ususal smirk, I can tell he feels the child with in him. A Small smiles appears on my lips.
