“When the prophecy is fulfilled and the Nine Dark Stars align, Tartarus will weaken, allowing the ancient evils that dwell within its walls the chance to seek their freedom. One such evil, vanquished long before the creation of the Elements of Harmony, that vowed to destroy the world in hellfire will lead the demonic hordes across the world once more.
Only the hero of stone, summoned from beyond the void, can truly destroy this dark evil…”
The Gargoyle, a legend that only a few know about, a warrior of stone summoned from beyond the void before the founding of Equestria.
Scott, an average guy who lives in England and has a good job, close friends and couldn’t be happier. Everything changes for him though, when he walks home one night from work and is killed in a road accident.
He awakens from a strange dream to find he is no longer on Earth… and that he is not as human as he remembers…
This… is the tale of the Gargoyle, the Stone warrior.
Cover done by me
Big thanks to, DVAN56, RainbowBob and Berry Punch for all their help!
Tip: Try reading the italic part in a certain, beloved cartoon villain who fought against a Samurai...
Because I've already read this, I must say I love it! I am really looking forward to later chapters

A gargoyle, huh? A certain billionaire of greek descent planned this, I'm sure.
Hope you find a better cover pic soon. This one looks great, but that's the profile pic of the Dungeons and Dragons V3-V3.5 Gargoyle, and they're not exactly hero material...they're quite sadistic little bastards if memory serves.

Yeah they are, but for the time being I'm going to leave it till I find another (Love the dungeons and dragons illustrations) and it's also there as the image guide because.
The fact he looks terrifying is going to be mentioned a fair few times during the story.
But yeah, I might draw my own cover art for it at some point, but I'm going to leave it as it is for now
You've piked my interest, can't wait for more ^^
One quick question, are these really gnolls or diamond dogs?
2908006
And to answer, they are neither, they just remind him of gnolls given their appearance. The name of the rave will be in the next chapter.
Thank you
Jiraiyaaaaaa approves.

reminds me of this
Well then, the declined quickly and the landing was rough... By that of course I mean his flight path. On the bright side, there's only one way to go from such a rocky start, upwards... Unless of course you've not hit the bottom yet. In which case you may well sink like a stone.
Yes I'm done trying to make puns, love this so far, canne wait for more.
Good christ... Why? Why the hell did you need to bring a human into a story about a gargoyle? It would have been fine without one.
*reads description*
Dude that is so fucking metal.
Just want to pop in to say Hooray for awesome D&D artwork, the Bestiaries are my favorite repositories for stuff like that.
This is going to be spendid. QUE THE THEME SONG!
Ahh.... that picture brings back memories from Dungeons and Dragons...

Some of the best damn years of my teenage life...
Wow. Just, wow.
A frickin' kickass story so far, pardon my language.
2909077
and your pardoned.
You fucking lil...Thanks.Hmmmmm....
... interesting will save further judgement until more of the plot is panned out.
2908942 We shall let this pass for teh awesome.
Pretty good, very few errors. Fav'd and liked. Let's see where this goes.
Is this by chance based on, or a part of the Chess Game of the Gods?
LOL!
Way to troll twilight!
Making it as soon as she is a princess that hell will literally break loose!
Don't gargoyles turn into a statue during the daytime?
this has potential don't waste it.
2907600
This came to mind for me as well.
Just the description caught my full attention. now to read and enjoy.
The only error I saw was that you spelled favorite wrong, but other then that I didn't notice anything. I thought it was funny that I did read the last part in aku's voice and then read your comment below, my thought at that point was "NAILED IT". I expect good things from this story.
1st chapter: 3 comments
2nd chapter: 0 comments
3rd chapter: 30 comments
Well that escalated quickly...
I shall peruse this later!
I like were this is going

This is absolutely a terrific story so far, and I can't wait to see the rest when it is finished.
I hope he plays the role of the reluctant hero.
What first comment naw not first comment... Good job on your story, Also Writer gets first comment...
At first I thought it would involve a character from Disney's Gargoyles.
Then I read the description.
Dang. Oh well
looks awesome so far
We don't have GAME in Australia anymore, just EB Games xD
Read "Long ago" and had an instant flashback to Samurai Jack Intro.
Edit:

LOL! Way ahead of you!

When I was re-writing it because I needed to change how the pro started. I was watching Samurai Jack and then BAM! inspiration hit me, Aku <3
Having read all three chapters so far, I am really feeling let down. The idea was great, but very poorly executed.
The prologue was the shortest chapter so far, but it felt like the longest. You also tried to character build the wrong way, since I'm doubting that we won't be seeing anymore of other humans, only himself. Then in the second chapter, everything is explained away too conveniently, and with a suddenness I expect from pre-writes that are just to get ideas down, before proper fleshing out. In the third chapter, he suddenly has a second version of himself in his own head. Having a voice in the MC's head is not a Bad Idea. Having them so suddenly formed, however, is a Bad Idea. On top of this, the MC is reading like I'm watching a game tester play a new game, especially with the way he is testing the limits of his body.
Honestly, the list goes on, but I'd rather not end up hooking myself into another editing role, so I'm just going to stop here.
TL;DR:
Needs a dedicated editor/sounding board for you to bounce ideas off of.
Gargoyles... is this your addition to the whole 'Chess Game of the Gods' thingamajig?
I didn't know someone was writing about me
JK
, but I did jump at this story because of the title
2907600>>2907643 If your looking for a good-guy gargoyle then Galio from League of Legends is a nice choice
And his Gatekeeper skin, while fleshy, looks great
Dang it you post a new story while I am on vacation with family and cant read it
