Crystal Vision [Keepers]

When Khaldor returned to the group of Laceworks he would insist of them following him. They would humor him and follow along as he lead them through the library. Stopping at a section of shelves containing solely etched crystals.

“Here we are. Feel free to read whatever you want from this set of shelves. There is a crystal at the end of each shelf that lists what is all included. I'll return once I finish something else I have to attend to.” Waiting for a nod from each before the leader would leave the three to it.

Paris, Hiroshima and Cairn would browse the shelves, not seeming to have anything particularly they wanted to learn. Each seeing topics from the other clans, Flora and Fauna and even some about magic. 

After some browsing Paris would select a crystal that was about the plant life. Settling down somewhere to view it. She figured from their experiences in the tranquil that acessing the information would be similar to how they communicated. With that in mind she would close her eyes and focus on the energy of the crystal in her paws, and letting the information flow to her in the form of images.

Plants of varies bioluminescent colors entered her minds eye as though it were being projected from the crystal. And in a way it was doing just that. The information mostly being about medical uses for the plants and combinations of them that worked best. Though some of the other information was about their place in the underground ecosystem, and what animals ate them. 

When she was done learning from the crystal she would return it to the shelf in which she got it. Making sure to do so carefully as she wasn't quite sure how old or fragile the crystal could be. Browsing a few more about animals soon after, finding some curiosity how much the animals differed. 

Hiroshima would of meanwhile selected one on a clan they haven't yet met with. Sitting down to focus on the crystals energy. Though it didn't go quite as smooth as Paris’ attempt, needing to try more than once before he got a mere glimpse into the clan. The picture seemed fuzzy to him, as though a filter was placed over it. He could see the figure of a heading, and could get the sense of anger. But he couldn't tell much else from it. The anger he felt from them made him feel uneasy about what the next clan might be like. He would sigh before placing the crystal back, but he would soon after select another to try.

But to his dismay he got a similar result. A blurry figure entering his mind, that seemed quite large and angry. Glaring eyes that felt like they watched him. Which to the red male felt very off-putting, after all he wasn't there when these crystals were etched. How would they be looking directly at him? Perhaps it was merely the crystal rejecting him from this knowledge, telling him that he wasn't ready to know. It didn't matter, he still felt disappointed and uncomfortable from the experience. Returning the second one soon enough.

Cairn would meanwhile browse the crystals that seemed to be about magics. Curiosity getting the better of her if they had similar magic. She would select one after some debating, settling down with it. She would use her arcane magic to ‘ask’ the crystal for the information it contained. After a few moments it would seem to glow and respond to her. 

The crystal projecting displays of various kinds of magic, some seeming of an ancient and forgotten nature. One in particular stood out to her, it almost seeming to Cairn to be a version of arcane. Yet, seeming to be about the crystals themselves. Crystals growing rapidly in the presence of this arcane-like display. The idea of it peeked the brown runner’s interest. However the information provided by the crystal seemed vague and more so like an introduction, nothing in depth like she had hoped from it.

When the display finished before her eyes, she would carefully return it to the shelf and find her father and aunt. The three of them shared some thoughts on their experiences soon enough. Paris going on about the displays of glowing plant life and uses for them. Also touching base on some of the animals she found interesting. Hiroshima expressed his disappointment in not seeing much of anything from his chosen ones but mere blurry messes. And Cairn would muse about the idea of the magics shown to her from the one she chose. 

They would soon write down some of the things they've learned thus far. Taking inspiration from the keepers and realizing they should make notes on their experiences for the world above. After all this journey would only happen once, the world above will make their mark and change the clans lives forever after this. They were becoming quite aware of this fact and knew they needed their own records of this trip.
