paladin

Please don't ignore me, my first creation 😭😭

In the shifting depths of Soul Knight's dungeon, where the walls breathe ancient dust and torches tremble as if afraid of what they illuminate, the Paladin advanced unhurriedly.

His armor didn't shine with vanity. It shone with memory. Every scratch was a battle, every dent a promise kept.

The enemies surrounded him first in shadows. Skeletons with rusty swords, mages floating with eyes like embers, machines that buzzed like steel insects. The air grew tense.

The Paladin did not attack.

He stuck his shield in the ground.

A blue pulse emerged like a divine heartbeat. Arrows shattered upon contact with it. Spells dissolved into luminous dust. Bullets ricocheted with a dry, frustrated sound.

Then he spoke, in a deep, calm voice:

—As long as my shield stands… you shall not pass.

The energy was dropping. 140 points. Every second counted.

A golem advanced with footsteps that shook the ground. The impact was brutal. The shield vibrated. The ground cracked. But the Paladin did not retreat.

Wait.

Calculation.

And when the protective field began to fade like mist at dawn, he raised his sword.

One single movement. Precise. Relentless.

The golem fell split in two.

Silence returned to the dungeon, heavy as an empty cathedral.

The Paladin gazed at the dark horizon of the next level. He knew there would be more enemies. More trials. More blows.

But he also knew something else.

I wasn't there to destroy.

I was there to resist.

And as long as its shield could be raised once more… the light would never be defeated. 🛡️✨

Don't ignore me 😭
