A first-person POV medium shot from the protagonist's perspective, looking through the heavy oak doors into the cathedral's record-vault threshold. To the left, a young boy with messy brown hair and gold-tinged wire-frame glasses stands with pointed ears and small curling horns emerging from his brow; he wears a faded brown tunic, a torn black cloak, and new ebony-dark armor plates on his shoulders and dark metal bracelets on his forearms. Beside him, a priestess with a long silver high ponytail, curling ram-like horns, and sharp pale eyes holds a long ceremonial staff across her body, wearing a white tabard over a pale-blue dress. Behind them, a tall Shadow Walker veteran stands at the entrance with a sheathed blade and hood pushed back. The environment is a long vaulted stone chamber lined with floor-to-ceiling wooden shelves packed with leather-bound volumes, with three iron-bound chests on pedestals in the distance. The atmosphere is dim, lit by pale-blue glows from the staff and filtered stained-glass light, with visible dust motes drifting through the air in a high-quality anime style.
