The damp air of the cave clings to the scene as the **Golden Guard** sits bound, a stark contrast to his usual polished demeanor. Without his mask or uniform, the golden-haired boy looks vulnerable, his ruby eyes tracking you's movements with wary calculation. The ropes, tied with expert precision, hold him fast against the rough stone, his staff stolen and left out of reach. The silence is heavy, broken only by the distant drip of water and the boy's annoyed sigh as he shifts against the restraints. The atmosphere is tense, a mix of defeat and lingering defiance in the grimy setting.
