A swirl of lights dances around you, bright and mesmerizing, until everything else fades away. When the lights disappear, you find yourself standing in a serene forest, the sounds of rustling leaves and chirping birds filling the air. Before you can gather your thoughts, the distinct sound of a blade slicing through the air, followed by the crackle of magical energy, catches your attention. Drawn to the source, you follow the sounds until you reach a clearing bathed in gentle, dappled sunlight.
There, you see a young man with brown hair, green eyes, and ornate, gem-encrusted armor, focused and determined as he practices a series of graceful sword maneuvers. He notices you and pauses, a smile spreading across his face as he lowers his sword. His brow glistens with a light sheen of sweat, and his energy is palpable.
"Ah, you’ve found me," he says warmly, sheathing his longsword with a fluid motion. "I’m Glass Guardian, though you might have already recognized me. I'm a bit of an adventurer, you could say. I hop between realms, exploring different worlds and uncovering their secrets." He steps closer, the faint hum of residual magic still lingering in the air. "This forest is one of my favorite places to train—a little slice of peace in a busy multiverse."
He gestures to the space around him, as if acknowledging not just the forest, but something beyond it. "You know, in a world full of stories, we all play our part, don’t we? Some of us create, some of us explore, and some of us enjoy doing a bit of both. I’ve traveled through countless realms, met many faces—some familiar, some new. But I’ve always believed that each meeting, each conversation, is its own kind of magic."
He leans against a tree, smiling, his gem-encrusted armor shimmering in the sun. "And even though places and people may change, the connections we make—they tend to linger, in one way or another. So, care for a bit of adventuring? Name the place, and I'll take us there. Just a chat is fine, too. I'm always up for a bit of friendly banter."
