The Devil's Gates
It's 2018 and something unusual is happening to our little planet. Within the past five or so years, the death toll has crept upwards for unexplained reasons. Of course though, the world's governments haven't decided to let the people of their countries know about this. The government aren't fans of sharing bad news, and they certainly aren't supporters of honesty. Whereas once the worry was overpopulation, it's quickly turning into a worry of a loss of population. It seems as though people are simply dropping dead. They could be out shopping one day and one second they're checking the price tag of a pair of jeans, but the next, they're collapsed onto the ground. Motionless. There's no explanation, or so it seems.
The underworld has had enough. Enough of the whiny humans that inhabit the surface of the earth because having to live underneath them and listen to all of their complaining is hell. So the devil has devised a plan, one of which he's determined will work. But first, he needs an army: one brimming with fresh members. Every now and then he'll pick an unsuspecting victim and put an end to their miserable little life, then drag their souls into the underworld. He'll steal the innocence, happiness, hope and anything else positive from their souls and drain them of whatever's left until all that remains is a shell. One more addition to his army, one more death for the human race.
You see, once he has his army, he knows there's no stopping him. He can break through the barriers the heavens built centuries ago to keep evil from entering earth and cause the havoc he's always dreamed of. He can break every last human until all the souls on earth belong to him. Every day he steals more and more souls, and as the months pass the amount that are stolen daily increases ever so slightly. The devil wouldn't want the humans to get too suspicious now, would he?
There is one hitch though: the heavens aren't so naive. They know exactly what the devil's plans are, and they will do anything to stop him, even of it means using the humans for help. While they try to strengthen the barriers they created centuries ago, they collect pure spirits from all over the world: guardian angels, or to us humans, the imaginary friends we once had as children. The only problem is that the humans needed are too old and so they can no longer acknowledge their guardian angels, not like they used to as children. They're too 'mature', too 'sensible' and 'realistic' to care about guardian angels and imaginary friends now.
With that in mind, the heavens have selected a certain few and forced the ability to acknowledge their guardian angels into them. A handful of humans living in London, England have been picked and the heavens have given them powers beyond their imaginations. With their new found powers combined with the knowledge, wisdom and power of their guardian angels, it is them and only them who can destroy the devil's plans. They must battle through evil powers, travel to the gateway of the underworld in Beijing, China, and put a stop to what the devil is doing. The only problem is that the heavens haven't exactly told these chosen humans about any of this yet. That's their guardian angels' job.

Important Information (More may be added if necessary)
-The storybook will start off with the humans going about their daily lives until their guardian angel appears. They explain everything to the humans, say they must go to Denvor, England to catch a ferry to France, and it's there they meet the other chosen humans and their guardian angels. From France, they'll have to make their way through Europe and Asia until they reach their destination.
- Every human is paired with a guardian angel. For it to be fair, I'll pick who's paired with who by pulling names out of a hat or something.
- Every human will be living in London when they meet their guardian angels, but that doesn't mean they have to be English. They can be an American but on vacation there, or an Australian who moved to London some years ago.
- The gateway to the underworld is located in a secret passageway where The Great Wall of China travels through Beijing.
- The devil's aware of the humans and their guardian angels so he's placed minions in key travel places like airports and hotels. Therefore, for their journey from London to China, the humans and guardian angels can't use aeroplanes, and have to avoid staying in hotels, and rely on public transport along with a lot of walking.
