Guardian the Destroyer

The second character on my 31 Characters project.

Guardian the Destroyer

The shadows shivered, and a shining figure slipped from one dark corner to the next. Moonlight glinted off their silver armor, throwing patterns of light over the walls. A helmet covered their face; the only thing visible was their eyes, shimmering green in the night, pupils like slits. Black gauntlets covered their hands, with silver finger guards, the colours contrasting �" moonlight against blackest night.

The figure ran their hand along the rough stone wall as the prowled the inside of the castle, their armor making almost no noise, even the boots silent against the hard floor. It was as if this person was just a ghost, and the armor was masking who they truly were.

That guess would be correct.

Hiding beneath a metal shell was the one they called Guardian. Some wondered how she made the armor move with her, but she used magic as an excuse �" not as if there was any other explanation.

Guardian was a spirit �" the magical and corrupted soul of one lost long ago. She inhabited the suit of armor as it was the only thing that gave her enough protection �" if she was to be exposed and destroyed, she would be lost forever.

Decades of fighting and little else had begun to corrupt what little humanity the spirit had left. And now, when she fought, when she was angered, normal mortals trembled in fear. They knew from experience that when her eyes glowed, when they shone blood red, and the pupils narrowed somehow further, that she would not stop until her thirst for revenge had been satisfied. And even the smallest thing could set her off �" a mere insult was all it took.

Because of this, nobody had trusted her in a hundred years.

She was unstoppable.
