<Page social="0">The personification of the Core, on the verge of death, was about to lose control of the Core's massive energies. Elleon remembered that Akasha was going to transfer the Core's power to herself, so she constructed a device for exactly that purpose. You, Fraya, and Elleon found the transfer device within the Golden Labyrinth and defeated Akasha's underlings there. Then Fraya sacrificed her mortal self, using the device to become one with the Core and stabilize it.</Page>

<Page social="5">Serion's control of the Core's energy is slipping. I don't know how much longer he'll last. The last time we lost control of the Core's energy, we devastated half a continent. We need to contain it before that happens.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Got a container in mind?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON></Page>
|
|
<Page social="5">...There are options. I'm considering the situation. But it'll take enormous power to contain the Core. Serion could supply that power if he was under control, but as things stand, we need another power source. Find something—quickly!</Page>

<Page social="0">Forget I said that.<BR><BR>It's all speculative unless we can get enough energy to move the Core from one body to another.<BR><BR>Akasha might have held the key—she wanted the Core's power, so she must have had a power source capable of doing it.<BR><BR>Somewhere in the Golden Labyrinth at the heart of the Hungry Caverns.<BR><BR>Tell Fraya we're going after it!</Page>

<Page social="5">Glad you could make it, <PCNAME>. If we can get through these chambers, it'll be easy to reach the device.
