🌟 Artistic & Animation Notes:

The Gold Angel often leaves golden time trails when moving — tiny sparks of stars and clockwork floating behind

When he speaks, runes or symbols of time appear briefly in the air

Wings may expand into circular mandalas or glowing sundials, depending on the lesson being shared

His touch causes moments of clarity, where flashbacks ripple through the scene like dreamlight

🎬 Notable Scene (Excerpt-style):

The angel descended in a spiral of golden light, wings folding like pages of a glowing book. ‘You have walked the path of growth,’ he said, voice echoing like wind through ancient halls. ‘Now… walk the path of awareness. See your past not as a prison — but as a map.’ A golden mirror formed before them, flickering with memories. And as each child stepped forward, they saw more than who they were… they saw who they were becoming.
