<span>The question is the following: First, it gives us the introduction: An artist's creativity and desire to communicate this creativity is what results in a work of art. Then the question follows: Which artist communicated his vision of the night sky by painting the masterpiece Starry Night? As we see, the first sentence is not necessary to answer the question, it is enought to know who painted Starry Night - and the answer is Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch 19th century painter. </span>
Answer: D, characters

For number 1, I'm not quite sure what it would be, but I hope I at least answered #2 for you. It might be that he reveals himself by drawing Riptide?
For number 2, he stays behind at the top, and Echidna reveals herself. He fights the Chimera, but loses, falling from the Arch into the River below (meeting a naiad sent by his dad).
