The moment he regained his footing, Orion saw them emerge from the chaotic darkness ahead: two figures and a beast. One was a Silver-Eyed warrior, another a great mage shrouded in a white cloak, and with them, a sea monstrous. Its back was lined with jagged dorsal plates that pulsed with a malevolent, deep-sea luminescence as it rose from the churning energies of the tunnel.
ROOOOAAAARRR!
A piercing, draconic cry echoed. Seadragon King Neptor reacted instantly, his form swelling into that of a colossal seadragon. He unleashed the power of his domain, and in the space of two breaths, an elemental ocean flooded the tunnel. Tides, waves, undertows, and storms surged into being, crashing against their foes.
"By the Sacred Light, be scattered!" Saint Noel raised his staff, and his body became a font of brilliance. A world of holy light bloomed, banishing the tunnel's oppressive gloom and mist.
