The Eden Gate
The Eden Gate is the story of Arion Cairwen, a man unjustly condemned by divine forces, who awakens in a realm not of death, but of elemental trial. Each trial is more than survival—it is transformation.
The Trial Spiral begins in fire, where Arion and Lysara are forced to face not only external flame but the internal heat of pain, shame, and rebirth. The trial of stone demands stillness, endurance, and truth of identity. In the waters of memory, they must confront the versions of themselves they once buried. And in the domain of wind, they surrender to clarity, letting go of control to embrace resonance.
But the trials are not tests—they are thresholds. With each victory, Arion is reshaped. He does not merely pass the trials; he begins to become something else: a god not of dominion, but of creation.
Lysara, a former avatar of war and duty, discovers Eden alongside him—an elemental seed of a world that is alive, breathing, and bound to their souls. Together, they forge Aurëalis, the Eden realm, using memory, emotion, and elemental glyphs as their tools.
Yet power has consequences. Arion’s victories unmake the boundaries of time and pull him into the Pulse Beyond Stars, where the Loomkeeper, a cosmic weaver of fate, reveals the fragile threads of legacy, love, and loss.
With the gods watching—and dying stars whispering warnings—Arion must face the greatest choice: to ascend and lose himself, or return and bear the burden of keeping a new world alive.
The Eden Gate is a mythic fantasy about what we inherit, what we shape, and what we’re willing to lose for the future we believe in. A tale of trials, love, elemental transcendence, and the act of creation itself.
