Some of them are still, while others move fluidly across the surface. A few of the runes are fading, their energy no longer needed now that the portal to the elemental planes has closed. He can see magical filaments shaped like chains leading from the crystal to the nodes on the sides of the chamber. They are likely suspending the crystal in the center of the pool. You recall Heinrick saying that part of the controlling system was deactivated from his side, the while the second part had to be done inside the chamber using the large pull switches on the wall. With the portal closed and his side powered down, you are ready to shut down the secondary system and free the crystal. Kraken and Whisper study the severed tentacle still floating in the pool. It doesn't look like the fleshy creatures and parts you've seen so far in the ship. In fact it looks more like Kraken's namesake instead. It is greyish colored and covered with suckers some of which sport large hooked barbs. Whatever it was remains trapped in the elemental plane of water now that the portal has been shut. Doral[SBLOCK]The longer you stare at the crystal the more convinced you are of a presence within. Your study is slowly drawing its attention which you can feel as a building pressure on your temples. From what you recall of dragonshard magic, every crystal has an entity bound to it that provides a source of power. Usually an elemental, sometimes a demon or abomination. The larger the crystal the more powerful the creature it can hold. This is the largest shard you've ever seen or heard of and as far as you know it could hold a being of near demi-god status.
