The Guardian does not know why the resting place exists. He knows only the gate, the darkness, and the order to let through those who have paid with their attention.

Origin and Manifestations

He asks to brighten eternity, but is capable of opening the way even after being refused. The warning about the torch is sincere: beyond the gates, the darkness kills faster than any predator.

Erotic Nature

His eroticism stems from loneliness. He does not set a trap, but tries to hold on to a rare companion for just a few more moments. That is precisely why consent may be voluntary, yet dangerous due to a forgotten purpose.

Countermeasures and Cost

You can refuse without a fight. Light the torch immediately after passing through the gate. Don’t promise to return if you’re not truly ready to share his vigil.
