The Merciless Guardian's One and Only Pardon

In the mist-shrouded ruins of a greenhouse, a boundary gate is malfunctioning. The guardian, who declares death to intruders, offers only you the closing procedure and the choice to 'leave it sealed and depart'. The golden eyes seeping through the black hair that hides his horns reflect not fear but responsibility. What he, carrying a long hunger and curse, seeks is not domination but your acknowledgment by free will.
