Guardian of the Rift

The cavern shook violently, reverberating with a deep, rumbling growl that seemed to emanate from the very core of the earth. Kaelen staggered, barely able to keep his balance as the ground beneath him quaked.

"Now what?!"

Then, from the shadows near the pulsating portal, something emerged—a colossal stone golem, its massive frame carved from the very rock of the cave itself. The golem towered above him like a living mountain, its body formed of jagged boulders and veins of luminous crystal that pulsed in time with the crimson light of the cavern. Its eyes glowed an ominous red, filled with an ancient intelligence that sent a chill racing down Kaelen's spine.

"Fuck..."

Kaelen breathed, taking a step back as the creature loomed over him. The air crackled with tension, and he could feel the weight of the golem's presence pressing down on him.
