“Where’s Miss Mira?” Relaxing his guard, Heinrich looked up in search of the star of today’s fight and found her descending from the ceiling.

Mira landed gently without a sound, accompanied by the scent of sweet berry au lait. “It seems you’ve finished it off,” she said. “Well done.”

Gilbert smirked to himself as he watched Heinrich staring at her in stunned silence. “You made things a whole lot easier for us. Anyway, the way you ran through the air. Was that an Immortal Art?”

“Mhm, that’s right.”

“And what about the shield that appeared out of thin air?”

“That was a summon.”

“Wow. You really are Danblf’s pupil.” This was indeed what it meant to be trained under the continent’s greatest summoner.

Gilbert lifted the stone spear and a blue stone from the pile of white dust.

“Here’s your cut, Mira.” He lobbed the blue stone over to Mira, which landed right in her hand. Static electricity could be seen crackling inside. The Gargoyle Keeper’s eyes were jewels aptly called pearls of lightning. They were often used for crafting, so it would be quite useful for Mira.

“Are you certain?” she asked.

“It’s the least we could give you, considering the work you put in. The spear is enough for us,” Gilbert said, nudging Heinrich with the butt of the Gargoyle Keeper’s weapon to bring him back to reality. Heinrich nodded and looked away to cover his blushing face.

With that, the three looked solemnly up at the closed door. “We’re finally here,” Gilbert said.

The door stretched up to the ceiling, details stained from years of decay. An observer could tell little more than that the design vaguely resembled a person.

Still, it was imposing enough to be worthy of protecting the ancient city now known as the Celestial Ruins. Next to it was a rather out-of-place hunk of metal. Gilbert stood before it and pushed the stone lance into a hole in the middle of it.

There was a mechanical noise from within, and the entire box rumbled. A tremor spread through the floor.

When activated via the stone spear, light from within the box spread like a peacock tail on the wall, creeping in all directions. Then, just as it seemed to disappear behind the door, the image of a person faded and was replaced by that of a wolf looking up to the moon. Then the moon began to shine as if it were real. A ray of light cut through it vertically. The door split in two and opened.

The cold light pouring in through the doorway shone upon the floor. Mira narrowed her eyes in the uncomfortable brightness.

“Well, let’s get going,” Gilbert said, and walked through the opening door. Heinrich grunted in agreement and followed. Lastly, Mira walked from the dim dungeon into the outside world overflowing with light.

The exit of the Stairway to the Sky was situated on a plateau with a long, wide stone staircase leading below. Mira turned back, noting that the gate looked to be gouged from the cliff face. With a grinding noise, it closed.
