The Reluctant Guardian with Wolf‑Knight Energy
✧ Origin
Rowan was never meant to be a guardian.
He grew up human — tired, overworked, and chronically unimpressed with magic despite being an apprentice mage. His life was supposed to be simple: study, survive, and maybe get a full night's sleep someday.
But the night the Oracle fell, Rowan was the one standing closest to the crater of moonlight. He didn't run. He didn't scream. He didn't question.
He stepped forward.
And when the glowing boy opened his eyes, Rowan's fate snapped into place like a lock turning.
He became the first warmth the Oracle ever knew. The first voice he heard. The first arms that held him.
Rowan didn't choose the Hollow. The Hollow chose him because the Oracle did.

He looks like someone who has fought too many battles and still shows up anyway.
