《Gate keeper》Chapter 1 change
Advertisement
Yuki stared at the skies as she looked bored at the Gates. Yes she was condemned by the gods for a crime she did in her life. So for her punishment she had ended up as a guard for the Gate. These gates once opened are forbidden worlds. People often seek these worlds wishing to start anew in life without their memories. "Hey Yuki what do you think of Jade." (Helen) She's sitting on the big pillar since the spot our gate had been over the ruins. Gates floated in the air and were most easy to spot. Yuki shook her head at Helen. Her purple hair shook in the wind along with her. They wore masks so no one would know them. Gate keepers remember their crimes but not all their memories. This gate had 10 people guarding it. Helen, Jade and Yuki were the three active. The other two were on the night shifts. The other 5 also shifted with the girls when they were tired. Rather Yuki thought of it as more of a bother since she's starting to forget how her face even looked like without the mask. "Oh gods that mask you have Yuki! It's like you're a hawk. You know cause it only covers everything but your mouth." (Helen) "Stop making her uncomfortable." (Jade) Yuki's eyes widen when she saw the gate move them along with it. Confused why it brought them to a strange place her eyes narrowed. Helen picked up her lance into her left hand. Jade held her rapier tightly as she scanned the surroundings. Tall buildings were in their view. (Tall sky scrapers) Cars went past them, Helen was breathing heavily. "Any clue where we are Yuki." (Jade) Yuki held her bow and arrow cautiously as she stared at them before shaking her head. "Is that cosplay in middle of the streets? They're even wearing armor and have weapons. Yet they're wearing masks. Are we being on film." (Passerby A) "No. I don't see any cameras." (Office lady A) Yuki sighed as she scratched her head. They were humans that didn't even know what the gates were. Helen pointed to the human coming near her with her lance. Jade face palmed as said the words: Oh no. The all brawns and no brains is at it again. Translation: the muscle brain isn't thinking this is so embarrassing. "Can't you do something about her." (Jade) Yuki sighed as she shot her arrow at Helen's lance. Hitting her handle and making her drop her weapon before it hit the office lady. "Why the heck did you stop me." (Helen) "Because you were about to kill someone who doesn't even know what a gate is. Seems like we're no longer in our world where it's a mix of time eras." (Jade) "Jade anything up there." (Yuki) "Nope. All I see are lots of tall buildings and a few restaurants." (Jade) Jade is a angel, Helen is a elf, and Yuki is a ice demon. A swordmaster, knight and the huntress. Jade's crime was slaughtering a goddess and her whole family, Helen was destroying continents by pissing off a leviathan on purpose. Yuki was she killed her family because they kept trying to kill her younger sister. But she was punished by the gods instead because her family served under the gods for generations. Her sister is still looking for her whereabouts. Yuki crime was self defense but for the gods it was going against them and their will so she was punished. "Are you going to go to other language cursing already Helen." (Jade) "Go die. I'm not cursing yet. I can't even remove this stupid mask. It's like a curse." (Helen) They both groan at her for reminding them both. They've been guards for centuries for the gate. Yes they tried to remove the mask for bathing. It didn't work out so well but after a bath the mask would just feel like a part of their skin. Which at first creeped them out. No thanks to Helen's reminder the two were depressed. "At least we're alive." (Helen) "Optimistic." (Both) "That reminds me I heard them say are they acting for a 'movie' whatever that is. And the word camera is mentioned." (Yuki) "Um you two might want to see this." (Jade) Jade points at the gate lodged itself into the center of the cross walk. Yuki was staring at the skies and muttering under her breath we're done for aren't we. "It's stuck cause no mana right does that mean this world. Has no mana. So that mean stuff the gate can't fly. Meaning we're probably on a planet away from the gods." (Helen) "Freaking muscle brain can think for a bit. By the gods is this the conclusion we have." (Jade) "Fuck." (Mia) "Damn." (Jan) "You two woke up, that's rare." (Jade) "With all the commotion then of course we'd wake up." (Jan) "Like no manifesting things with mana." (Mia) "You're worried about that. Shouldn't we look for a way to remove the mask then worry about the floating gate. I mean it's not going anywhere." (Yuki) Helen the blond elf nodded. Jade the turquoise hair angel spread her 6 wings happily as she also nodded. Mia, the spirit nodded. (Spirits are pale skinned with elf like ears and tattoo on a part of their body to discern their race. Often mistaken by humans for a vampire.) Jan the siren sighed but approved. "Though the first thing we do is find out what season it is here." (Yuki) Their eyes all go to Jan. Sirens go to heat during the summer and any human caught will not be in the right mind after summer ends. So Yuki was right to worry, Jan smile wryly as she shrugged. "More fun for me." (Jan) "No!" (They all yelled) None of them wanted to be near her when she was in heat. Mia blushes as she turned away. They all nodded and gave her a pitying look. "Then me and Yuki. Jan stays by the gate. Helen and Jade." (Mia) "What about us 5." (Fiona) "How about we watch the siren in case she escapes (giggles)." (Clare) "Really Clare your a sucubus but stop with the dirty jokes we don't even know when the gate will activate to change location." (Leo) "But Leo you're the only male. And a vampire." (Isabella) "Right says the harpy don't go criticizing him yet." (Selena) Fiona is a lamia, Clare is the sucubus, Leo is a vampire, Isabella is a harpy and Selena was a mermaid. These other 5 helped guard the gate in a shift for a month. Then trade off with Yuki's group. "Leo you can go get some blood but remember to keep it to a minimum." (Mia) "I'll go with him." (Selena) Yuki sighed since she didn't like the vampire. She watched him one time guarding the gate he went on a massacre without stopping even after his opponents surrendered. He was also laughing insanely while licking their blood.
