The Eternal Guardian (Patreon)

Once upon a time, a brave warrior ventured into an ancient tomb to explore its secrets. Unfortunately, he found himself ensnared by a trap that activated a powerful curse. As a result, his body was transformed into a magnificent golden statue, and he was destined to remain in the tomb forevermore as its vigilant guardian.

As the centuries passed, the tomb in which the warrior was trapped became a place of legend and mystery. Many tried to enter it, but few returned, and those who did speak of strange occurrences and the feeling of being watched by an unseen presence.

The golden statue of the warrior remained unmoved, yet his mind was alert and aware of everything that happened around him. He witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, the passing of time, and the changing of the world. He saw the tomb become forgotten and rediscovered over and over again by different generations.

As the years went by, the warrior's thoughts turned to his family, his home, and his life before he embarked on his ill-fated adventure. He longed to see his loved ones again, but he knew that it was impossible. He was trapped, cursed to remain in the tomb as a guardian forever.

Despite his lack of mobility, the warrior's senses remained sharp. He could hear the whispers of those who entered the tomb, and he could sense their intentions. He knew when they came seeking treasure, and he could tell when they came seeking knowledge.

Over time, the warrior became a symbol of the tomb itself. His golden form became a warning to those who dared to enter, a reminder of the dangers that lay ahead. And while he longed to be free, he accepted his fate as a guardian, ready to protect the tomb and its secrets for eternity.
