Bonus: The One Who Stood Between Worlds
There was a time when the world felt sharp and unpredictable. Edges everywhere. Noise without warning. In that space, a guardian appeared quietly, without armor or command, carrying protection not through strength but through presence.
The guardian learned the rhythm of fear and knew exactly when to interrupt it. Sometimes by walking closer. Sometimes by simply staying. Journeys were taken together. Roads crossed. Silence shared. The guardian never asked why it was needed. It only answered when called.
As years passed, the body aged, but the role did not weaken. When the moment came to step beyond form, the guardian did not disappear. It transformed. The shield it once held outward now surrounded from above. The watch continued, not from distance, but from everywhere at once.
One day, when time finally loosens its grip, the guardian will no longer stand between worlds. It will stand beside the soul it protected, not as guardian anymore, but as equal energy, reunited, infinite, and whole.
Some protectors are never meant to leave.
