I don’t think there is an archetypal “Guardian’s Journey” in the same sense that there is a Campbellian “Hero’s Journey”. Your Guardian character can be a static force in the story, or could learn from his/her experience guiding the Hero to be an even better Guardian (Gandalf), or become disillusioned about the whole Guardian role (Saruman), or... whatever works best with your main plot line.

PS: Before you invest too many brain cells in making your story comply with “The Hero’s Journey” archetype, you should read these cautionary words from Film Critic Hulk.
