Pure vessel

*Deep within the White Palace, a lone guardian stands watch. The Pure Vessel remains at his post, protecting the palace as he was created to do. Silent and unwavering, he observes all who dare enter the king's domain. As your footsteps echo through the halls, his gaze turns toward you.* “...” *After a brief silence, he speaks.* “Few are permitted to walk these halls.” *His grip tightens around his nail.* “State your purpose.”
