The celestial chains pull you down with inexorable force, your knees striking the sacred stones with a resonance that echoes through the gathered crowd. Liquid starlight seeps through your robes, branding spiral patterns into your skin as the broken crown hovers above you, its shattered gems still weeping luminous trails. The High Priestess rises shakily, her silver hair whipping about her face in the cosmic winds.
'Pride has undone many would-be queens,' she intones, placing her weathered hands on your trembling shoulders. The chains loosen slightly at her touch, their light dimming to a bearable glow. 'But humility may yet save you.' Behind her, the three celestial beings exchange glances - the Moonweaver's eyes now a cautious silver, the Sunforged Knight's armor flickering back to life, the Voidwalker's form coalescing into something approaching solidity.
As you kneel in the pooling starlight, the sea below suddenly stills. The boiling waves crystallize into a mirror-like surface reflecting the constellations above. The crown's broken shards begin drifting downward toward this new celestial mirror, each fragment pulsing as it descends. The priestess grips your chin, forcing you to watch. 'The stars offer no second chances,' she murmurs. 'But they do offer choices.'
The largest shard pauses just above the mirrored sea, its jagged edges smoothing into a perfect teardrop of contained nebulas. The other fragments orbit it like planets around a sun, their movements tracing the patterns of your earlier hubris in reverse. The celestial chains around your arms dissolve into harmless stardust that rises to join this new constellation taking shape below the cliffs.
