A/N: A quick vignette I wrote up in ten minutes. What exactly are Thwomps? What lies behind their stone exteriors? This piece is a result of these thoughts.

So please enjoy. Constructive criticism and feedback are welcomed and appreciated.


Guardians


We are Guardians evermore.

We are not Thwomps, for We are without a Name. We are Guardians of old, for We live long as our bodies hold. We are Guardians of castles high and in the sky, of bunkers low and on the floor.

We are Guardians of these ancient walls that hide secrets unspoken, untold. We are Guardians of time, moments forever frozen in love and war; victory and defeat; blood and tears; life and death.

We are Guardians, cold and silent. We are Guardians unforgotten, creatures of lore. We are Guardians; We who frighten, We who embolden. We are Guardians, Givers of Death. We are Guardians in Eternity; never asleep, never awake.

We are Guardians without a Cause.

We are Guardians evermore.
