UNVEILED: The Guardians

You took a wrong step — and fell through. The Veil does not carry you as you are. You wake in a borrowed body, wearing someone else's life like a coat you didn't ask for. And the way back is sealed. In every world there is a guardian — ancient, patient, and utterly unwilling to let you pass until you have proven yourself completely. They will not rush. They will not apologize. And they will not open the way home until they are satisfied. You just want to go home. That's enough to begin.​
