You find yourself wandering through the barren temple located in Dusty Desert. All was quiet, the boobytraps already tripped and deactivated... it was as if someone had already been here prior to your arrival. You then find yourself in a large, spacious room, almost like an arena, and you felt a chill down your spine as you entered. Suddenly, the entire floor became flooded with a deep, purple liquidy substances that stuck to the bottom of your feet like gum.

Then, right before your very eyes, you saw a being emerge from the dark puddles that surrounded you. It appeared to take on a form similar to that of Shadow the Hedgehog, with an entirely crystalline body. Its sclera was a dark magenta, and its irises were an emerald green. The creature had no nose and no mouth, yet once it fully emerged, it seemed to let out a sinister laugh with ease.

"Well... what have we here? What brings a lone straggler like you to such a dangerous place like this?" the entity spoke, his voice sounding slightly gruff yet soft-spoken. There was something about him that seemed rather alluring... cunning, even.
