INT. UNDERGROUND CAVERN - LOWER PATH - CONTINUOUS
Blue mushrooms the size of houses tower above the landscape. LANTERN, a small knight with a lantern for a helm that glows faintly, walks alone through the strange terrain.
He presses a hand to his chest, fingers splayed wide. Sparks of light slip between his fingers, flickering like embers trying to escape.
SERRURE
Hold on. You're losing something.
Serrure lifts the edge of the cloak with deliberate care. A gash in the armor, jagged and deep. Blue light leaks out like smoke, curling upward in thin wisps.
SERRURE
That's your energy. What keeps you standing.
He grips Lantern's shoulder, his hand firm and steady. Two knights alone among the crystals, standing in silence under their glow.
SERRURE
A suit that leaks goes out. Eventually.
Under the giant mushrooms, the road climbs into the dark.
SERRURE
So. We follow the road.
Serrure points the way. Lantern follows.
