Author’s Note
These is not neutral accounts. The Obsidian Gates was written by Emilia Glazkov many years after the events it describes, when the truth had already begun to fracture. At the time of writing, she is older, fluent, and dangerously self-aware. The voice you’ll read is hers—refined by time, sharpened by belief—but she is recounting the early days, before the cult called the Black Rainbow took shape. Before the world changed. And while she tells it all as memory, make no mistake: this is still scripture.





In Gate VIII—As Emilia Glazkov and Holly Cambric prepare to face the XWF Tag Team Champions, a long-buried memory begins to stir. Years ago, in a ritual masked as science, Holly helped extract from Emilia the final fragment needed to create Maraeth’s divine child. Now, paired together under the watchful eyes of gods and empires, Emilia moves with quiet calculation—not for victory, but for memory. Trust was never required. Only obedience. And in that obedience, something sacred was stolen. Something Emilia remembers now.
