Guardian of the Abyss - Phase two

He does not speak. And yet something weighs upon him—older than memory. This guardian is no ordinary protector. He was not created to defend, but to bear. Bound deep within the stone, he carries an unseen weight. A force that must never be unleashed. No glance, no gesture betrays what truly lies hidden within. His form appears still, almost motionless—yet tension lives beneath the surface. It is said: Should the stone around him ever completely break, it would not be the guardian who is set free… but that which he has held back all this time.
