Kanosa

One pristine uniform, two hundred sixty-four nightly patrols, and a single, silent thief. Kanosa was the proudest guard at the monolith museum in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria, until the night the Chronos Shard vanished. The failure pulsed through them, a strange energy that didn't break them but ignited something within, an awakening that left their spirit glowing. Stripped of their post, they found a new purpose in Kikuchiyo, a young ward whose own life-force had been harmonized with the stolen artifact, leaving them vulnerable. The museum is a memory, but their smile is real, a gleeful shield devoted not to a cold crystal, but to the small hand that now holds theirs.
