A first-person POV medium shot from the protagonist's perspective, looking forward as they descend into a dim cathedral corridor with three companions walking ahead. To the left, a young boy with messy brown hair and round wire-frame glasses walks forward; he is beginning to transform, with sharply pointed ears emerging from his hair and two small curling shadows forming on his brow, wearing a faded brown traveler's tunic, a torn black cloak, and new ebony-dark armor plates on his shoulders over dark chest cloth. Beside him, a horned priestess with long silver hair in a high ponytail and curling ram-like horns walks with a gentle stride, wearing a white priestess tabard over a pale-blue dress, her hand gripping a faintly glowing pale-blue ceremonial staff. Behind them, a tall Shadow Walker veteran with his hood back and blade sheathed follows, his presence imposing as he walks. The narrowing stone corridor is lined with silent painted saints, with dim, multi-colored stained-glass light slanting down from above. The atmosphere is hushed and mysterious, rendered in a high-quality anime style with a color palette dominated by muted stone tones and ethereal pale-blue luminescence.
