Luminara looked up, she saw the thing- person? That ran into them. The being's primary form remained mostly invisible, giving them an otherworldly appearance. The subtle celestial glow that outlined her invisible silhouette hinted at her celestial nature, creating an enigmatic and mystical aura.

At the forefront of that guy's invisible form, they bore a head shaped like a celestial star- Wait, that star is their head. The star emanated radiant light, casting a gentle glow around the area. The two oval-shaped cartoony eyes blinked back at them.

The being wore black gloves and a hoodie to delineate the outlines of their celestial form. Allowing glimpses of the celestial being beneath the invisible veil.

They also wore these mix-and-match blue and white striped socks.

They also had a tail, its end transformed into a luminous star.

"What in the Anubis am I looking at?!" Horus remarked, quite rudely.

"Um- what? Oh- Hi!" The star guy said awkwardly.

 "R-right, uhh... Who are you, ma'am?" Aral asked politely.

"Ma'am? Oh! I'm actually a guy.." He murmured, shifting to a different, much more masculine form for a second, then swapping back.

"I'm Xyein, but you can call me Xyn," He said, his eyes curving to give off a sort of.. happy expression.

"Wai-Wait, you are going to sanctuary, right? You wouldn't be here otherwise- Uh huh?" Xyn stuttered.

"Of course, we're going to Sanctuary!" Horus said. 

"We- we are right?" Aral asked.

 Clarinet sighed, crouching down and looking around the room, she picked something up and passed Aral a weirdly shaped paper. 

"What. In. The. Hathor. DID I JUST READ?!" Aral shouted.

 "May Thoth give Aral an actual brain" Horus smirked. 

Xyn yanked the paper from Aral, looking it up and down.

"I don't understand any of this" Xyn concluded.

"Of course you don't! You have dumb-dumb brain" Horus yelled. 

"Excuse me?!" Xyn cried.

Xyn shook his head, scowling at Horus.

"Well, The Guardian will be waiting for you. I'll take you to them" Xyn said.

Xyn led the group to a giant room that looked somewhat like a battlefield, and standing in the middle of this room was The Guardian, or at least that's what she suspected.

The Guardian's form was veiled in a radiant, luminescent energy that shifted and shimmered with brilliance. This veil seemed to cloak most of The Guardian's body, Clarinet stepped back in surprise. Luminara looked at Aral, who smiled at her.

The Guardian's eyes gleamed with the wisdom of the cosmos. Each glance held the depth of starlit galaxies, reflecting eons of knowledge. Their eyes seemed to see the present and the thread of destiny.

Sprouting from the Guardian's shoulders were wings of pure light, resembling the patterns of constellations. 

They wore flowing robes adorned with celestial symbols that seemed to dance in tandem with the labyrinth's radiant glow. Each symbol held significance, reminding her of the principles and the interconnectedness of the celestial and mortal realms.

Atop the Guardian's head rested a crown that bore an emblem of authority. The emblem glowed softly.

"To pass through to the lake, you must answer me a riddle each, including the weird ugly snake thing-" The guardian announced bluntly.
