As Sleeve and the Shadow Serpents traversed deeper into the realm of darkness, they stumbled upon an ancient order of light-wielders, known as the Luminescent Guardians. For centuries, this secretive group had devoted their lives to preserving the delicate balance between light and shadow within the realm.

Intrigued by the Luminescent Guardians' purpose and knowledge, Sleeve and the Shadow Serpents sought to learn from these wise keepers of light. The guardians welcomed them with a solemn yet welcoming demeanor, sensing the potential within the group to embrace both light and darkness.
