The Guiled Fued

Difficulty: Pride before the fall

A peacock, resplendent in sapphire and emerald, stands in the heart of an ancient arena—not merely a symbol of vanity, but an armored warlord wielding a spiked mace like it’s an extension of its own fury. Golden plate armor curves over its breast and shoulders, etched with swirling patterns that echo the hypnotic eyes on its fanned tail. Dust swirls around its talons, lit by twin beams of sunlight slicing through the gladiatorial stands where blurred crowds roar in expectation.

This puzzle is an intoxicating mix of opulence and grit. One moment, you’re fitting together the iridescent feathers of its tail, a cascade of jewel tones that seem to glow from within. The next, you’re lost in the deep gold metallics of the armor, each plate catching the warm light differently. Then, the dusty arena floor—subtle in hue, yet intricate in texture—pulls you into the scene’s heat and weight.

⚔️ Great for: lovers of regal violence, birdwatchers with unresolved gladiator fantasies, and anyone who enjoys building both beauty and brutality.

💎 Bonus: The feathers are mesmerizing and slightly maddening—like the peacock itself intended it.

⚠️ Side effect: You may start overestimating your own fighting prowess after completing this.
