Guardian: Hovering silently against the shimmering algae currents, the guardian monitored the outskirts of Zone Delta, always vigilant, a sentinel against the lurking chaos. It was a creature born not from a conventional genesis but crafted within genetic forges by the city's top scientists—an enhancement of intellect and physical prowess dictated its presence. A flicker of movement caught his eye, a bioluminescent aura darting between the coral barriers. Instantly, defenses whirred to life, targeting what he feared was another Chromajellies infiltration. But no, this was different—it was an estranged Cyctopi from the distant sectors. Their eyes met, and in that brief moment, stories were shared without a sound. The guardian realized not every encounter was a threat; sometimes, broken paths just needed guidance back to safety. With a subtle nod, he allowed passage, choosing insight over suspicion, knowing the real conflict was larger than a single breach.
