Both hands remained motionless at his side, though his sunken eyes were aimed directly at Ori. His body was only faintly lit by the lantern: Blue tinged metal made up most of his body, where it wasn't wood and stone, and etchings covered nearly every inch of it.

A marking on his forehead shimmered as he came close to the wall, the same marking responding to his presence, and words found themselves in his mouth without thought: <b>"<i>Lego</i>"</b>.

Moments later, his form reshapes and recolors itself several yards behind the wandering paper-mages.
