The copper golem was beautiful and deadly in equal measure. Sweeping cuts of the ginger metal arrayed in a softly swaying mosaic that moved as gracefully as the greatest dancer and as quickly as the swiftest swordsman.
But when the rust started, eyes turned away from all the golem's achievements. The patina ruined what was once perfect, and so we left our beautiful achievement in a dark attic.
