In a passage filled with an intricate jumble of enormous rocks.
A figure clad in Starlight Armor sat cross-legged on a massive rock, astonishing runes and spirit light swirling and rippling around him.

A short figure appeared like a ghost not far behind the armored figure!
Black-Gray Flames swirled around the short figure, concealing their true appearance.

Ring after ring of gray light and Stars Runes emerged from the short figure, who vanished
