Flanking the altar were two enormous statues of ancient guardians, each standing over twenty feet tall. Their sheer size dominated the space, making the adventurers feel small and vulnerable in their shadow. These statues were masterpieces of ancient craftsmanship, their details so precise that they seemed almost lifelike.
The faces of the guardians were carved with expressions of eternal vigilance. Their eyes, though made of stone, seemed to follow the adventurers' every move, exuding an aura of unyielding watchfulness. The stern brows and tightly set jaws conveyed a sense of duty and readiness, as if the guardians had been waiting for centuries to defend their sacred space.
