The Chronicle of the Unseen Guardians🔊

Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Constantinople, existed a reality unbeknownst to its residents - the guild of the Unseen Guardians. These were not your ordinary men. They were liaisons between the human world and the mystical realm. Their duty to protect the delicate equilibrium of both worlds defined every moment of their existence, every breath they took.

Avram, the youngest member of the significant guild, was a boy of fourteen winters. His selection was birthed from tragedy when his family was caught in a supernatural storm. The Unseen Guardians, unable to save his parents, took Avram in, fulfilling a prophecy that foretold the arrival of a young boy who would change worlds.

Avram’s life was a whirlwind of training and education. He learned the secrets of the realms, the delicate art of shifting shadows, bending time and space, communicating with the ethereal beings, and the perils that lurked the mystical realm. Despite his youth, his determination was unwavering, his resolve unyielding. He was resolute to avenge his parents.

It was one peculiar night when Avram perceived the Cerberus, the three-headed hound of Hades, wandering the human realm’s streets. Panic gripped the city with inexplicable fear and chaos. The guild, caught off-guard, was thrown into a state of confusion. No one knew how the beast could enter the human realm.

Avram rushed through the city's labyrinthine streets, the scent of the foul beast still lingering in the air. His heart pounded as he reached the city square, finding the huge, snarling Cerberus ready for a strike. The crowd dispersed with horrified screams amidst the crimson-lit dusk. The beast was ferocious, its eyes burning with a desire for death and destruction.

Avram looked around. The guild was still nowhere to be seen. The boy knew he might be marching towards his end, but the thought of imminent death didn't sway him. He had a city to save and a prophecy to fulfill. A deep breath, a silent prayer, Avram charged towards the Cerberus.

The ensuing fight was a terrifying blur. Avram could feel the ground shaking with every move of the gigantic creature, the air searing with its breath. Despite its monstrous size, his maneuvers were too swift to human eyes, but Avram was not human anymore. He was an Unseen Guardian. Courage fueled his every move, bypassing the fear lacing his every muscle.

With a swift, decisive counterattack, he managed to leap onto the creature, plunging his mystical dagger into its body. The beast roared, thrashing around, but Avram held fast. With a final, resounding cry, the Cerberus collapsed, turning into countless shadow shards before disappearing altogether.

Standing amongst the ruins and the silent crowd, Avram was finally relieved when his guild arrived led by the eldest member, Basilio. They took in the scene, the defeated beast, and the hope reborn in the citizens’ eyes.

Time seemed to freeze when Basilio walked over to Avram, extending his hand and his silent admiration towards the boy who defied destiny and faced the beast. At that moment, Avram was no longer the young boy in the guild; he was a true Unseen Guardian, the mythical protector of realms, and the fulfillment of prophecy.

The tale of Avram's bravery against the Cerberus spread throughout Constantinople, carried by whispered tales and songs, but no one knew the identity of their savior. Avram walked the same streets, unnoticed but content, carrying a secret that distanced him from his people yet bound him to them like never before.

With time, Avram became a legend, a myth, the boy who stood against the beast, the unseen hero of Constantinople. His story offered hope and belief in a world where fear and chaos were ubiquitous. In his silent, unacknowledged service, Avram was immortal, not in body, but in spirit, in every tale told, in every hope sparked, in every life saved. This is the legacy of Avram, the Unseen Guardian.
