To awaken the Starfire, Lucky and Ember had to enter the Flamewell—a sacred volcano where phoenixes were born.
Inside the inferno, Ember was tested by ancestral fire spirits. They demanded sacrifice, proving Ember's loyalty.
Ember, in turn, offered part of his eternal flame to Lucky—bonding them permanently. He collapsed afterward, weakened but glowing with golden light.
From the ashes, Lucky forged the Starfire Crystal, a brilliant shard of rebirth and truth.
