After a century of brutal war with the alien Xylothians, the planet Paraxis teeters on the edge of extinction. The air is poisoned. Cities crumble into dust. What remains of civilization clings to hope in the shadows of devastation. But from the ashes, a spark ignites.

A reclusive scientist unveils a suit forged from alien technology—an artifact not just of war, but of something ancient and forgotten. In the hands of Ethan Mitchell, this suit becomes more than armor. It becomes the beginning of something greater.

As Ethan steps into the unknown, he discovers that peace is fragile, and the true battle is only just beginning. Beneath the ruins, forces stir—whispers of magic, memory, and a forgotten power waiting to rise.

This is The Guardian—a cinematic sci-fi audio drama about legacy, resistance, and the cost of becoming something more.
