Donbe touches the water from the melted ice to his bracelet. Hinoe appears before him as a twinkling star, but explains this is only a temporary form.
All of reality is made up of two worlds. One is a world of darkness that has been corrupted by the dragon. If care is not taken then the dragon can escape into this world as well. He takes pleasure in stealing souls and uses them to weave himself a body. The souls are bound to the Dragon's Orb. If the souls can be released, the dragon's body will cease to exist.
Hinoe vanishes.
