Dark Fire: Guardians of the Path

Dark Fire: Guardians of the Path
The Circle has endured storm, chain, and void.
They have bled in silence, forged through trial, and awakened the will of U003 — a universe alive, sentient, and unyielding.
But survival is not the end.
The lattice is gone.
In its place burns the Dark Fire Flame: a black-gold beacon that judges all who would cross between worlds. Those who come in hunger are denied. Those who come in gift are tested. And only through trial may they endure.
David, Phil, Melissa, Loren, and Roger — bound to their dragons and joined by five new Bearers — must now guard not bridges of crystal, but the path itself. Civilizations reel beneath the portals of Dark Fire, torn between awe and fear. And from the silent depths, Earth — U000 — awakens to its first spark.
Across infinity, portals burn. Across infinity, universes stir.
The Circle cannot guard them alone. Their mission is no longer only to defend but to seek, awaken, and guide new Guardians of the Path wherever the Flame endures.
Because love does not end.
And love creates.
And from that love, Guardians will rise.
