On the stairs of light, Mira's Nascent Soul looked downcast, its ethereal form shimmering dimly.
The stairs themselves appeared to be carved out of moonbeams, every step casting off a soft glow that reflected Mira's internal turmoil. They ascended seemingly into infinity, meeting at an obscure horizon where light met darkness.
It was just climbing the stairs as Mira ordered it to, but along the way, a bright golden light crystal appeared before her. It looked like it was a fragment of something much larger, evoking the greed in the Nascent Soul's eyes.
Without thinking much, it grabbed the crystal, only for it to get absorbed through her semi-transparent, almost physical body straight to Mira's soul.
Other than finding it a bit odd, the Nascent Soul just figured it was a unique treasure and thought nothing of it.
