The Keepers of the Candlelight

The Keepers of the Candlelight


The night gets ever more weird.  As you come closer to the top of the castle, closer to the grande finale, a couple of mysterious, translucent figures appear in front of you.  "Who.. Who are you," you manage to stammer in the silent night.  To your surprise, they answer in unison: "We are the keepers of the candlelight."  Before you can ask any further, they explain for you: "We make sure a little light stays in the darkness.  In total darkness, there would be nothing left.  We are the little candle, the little light.  A little hope till morning comes."  And with that, you notice the first of light breaking through the darkness: the night is coming to an end.

You still need to face at least one more creature:
a thing that seems to be munching
or a thing that seems to be dreaming
