Ancestor Star.
An adjacent desert to Jia Sha.
Amidst the gray-yellow desert, a colossal black inverted pyramid stood silently.
Under the pyramid, numerous black-robed figures held torches, walking in circles around it.
As they walked, they chanted ancient and unknown songs, or perhaps prayers.
It was as if they were conducting some ancient and solemn ritual.
One figure, also dressed in black robes, but with patterns of gold thread woven on the robe's edges, stood atop the inverted pyramid, quietly overlooking the ceremony below.
When the ceremony reached a certain stage.
The figure in the black-and-gold robe suddenly raised his head, eyes fixed on the sky above.
The white firmament was reflected in his strange eyes of blue and red.
Soon, his eyes ignited with a light of fervent devotion.
The figure in the black-and-gold robe swiftly raised his arms, concealed hands within wide sleeves lifted overhead.
One hand held a white scepter resembling bone.
