Lion Attacking Horse Stone Carving

A crumbling Gothic bas-relief worked into a castle alcove, depicting a snarling lion with elongated fangs driving its claws into the flank of a rearing horse. The horse’s contorted body suggests sudden movement interrupted by terrible stillness. The carving’s surfaces bear faint pulsations of light, matching the temporal striations bleeding through the castle’s architecture. The Doctor traces the distortion with his fingers, recognizing the same signature of crossing timelines embedded in the stone.
