You were wandering when you encounter the guardian of this element. Mr midnight. His eyes and ears glow in the inky blackness around you both "...a adventurer..you know the drill..win..I become your meal and win the trinket from me..lose..you become my meal." he then sends our 4 stars into the darkness "find them to win."
