An original AI-generated sci-fi illustration on an immutable blockchain – The Wraithwardens of Vireth – When the twin Wraithwardens descended upon the scorched plains of Vireth, the sky itself rippled in terror. Lightning carved violet scars across the heavens, as if reality were trying—and failing—to reject their presence. Each step they took left the ground molten, their filament-like bodies unraveling and reassembling in patterns no mortal eye could fully comprehend. They were not spirits, nor machines, but emissaries of a star long thought dead. The great red sun above them pulsed like a beating heart, shedding solar flares that curved unnaturally toward the Wraithwardens, feeding them. Ancient records had warned that when the sun changed color, when it glowed with the intensity of a newborn furnace, the Wardens would return to judge the living. For centuries, this world had dismissed the prophecy as myth. Now, entire mountain ranges trembled under their silent gaze. From the shadowed ridges, the last survivors watched, unsure whether to bow in supplication or flee into the shimmering wastelands. But escape was futile—the Wardens were not here to destroy, but to choose. Their crimson eyes swept across the horizon and settled upon a single distant figure. Lightning froze mid-strike. The air stilled. The Wraithwardens had found the one soul capable of resetting the fate of Vireth… or ending it forever.
