The Last Guardian

At the gate of the final temple, the great serpent-creature rose, not in anger, but in vigil. Around it, the elephants bowed their heads. The blue deity stood firm, arms raised not in battle but in blessing. In the distance, the alien forms moved through the marketplace as if they had always belonged there. And perhaps they had. Perhaps they were never visitors at all. Perhaps they were simply the parts of ourselves we had forgotten how to see.
