Deathless Temple, Nightly Gloom

Inside the Deathless Temple of Gloom…

Zephyr guided Altair deeper inside the temple, where bright silver flames flickered atop several half-broken columns with gold dishes at the top. 

The deeper Zephyr led Altair into this place, the dimmer the flames grew.

"Eventually, once you reach the designated training area, there will be no light, only darkness, so brace yourself. You must know that a Shadow Dancer's most intimate confidant is the darkness they assume. They, who must be severed from the light, walk a path of untold tenebrosity," Zephyr voiced.

At the end of his words, his voice changed, and so did his appearance. 

As his voice echoed throughout the darkening hall, Zephyr's body dissipated into thin black smoke, walking directly into the darkness without any prior indication.
