Art style: Pixar-like 3D.
A medium-close-up of the Stone Guardian's glowing blue eyes and forehead. Ancient runes on the stone glow in sync with its voice. In the foreground, translucent golden text of the riddle floats in the air, slightly blurred. The lighting is dark and moody, with the only light source being the blue glow from the Guardian and the golden text. The atmosphere is heavy with ancient magic.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- The Stone Guardian: A massive, towering statue carved from weathered grey stone, covered in patches of glowing blue moss and ancient etched runes. Its face is stern and monolithic, with deep-set eyes that glow with a brilliant, pulsing blue light. It has a heavy, squared jaw and a cracked surface suggesting great age. It is positioned as part of a giant stone archway, with its arms crossed over its chest. The atmosphere around it is thick with swirling grey fog and shadows.
