Sickness in 249? (GM)

[Zack Asiv]

The Guardian would nod as it explained.

"I will temporarily rejoin a part of me to the Crystal... It will look like I am reaching into the Crystal. I will join myself to it's shell and bring it out."

The Guardian would look at Roz.

"While I am joined to it's shell your assistance would be helpful."

Ari would scoff.

'Yeah no problem there big guy. I'll do all the heavy lifting as usual.'

The Guardian would look at Preston for confirmation.

"Is there any way you can maintain the energy flow while I do this?"

[Preston Salabim]

"Stabilizing an Aetherflow should be a simple matter, yes."

[Rozalin Kendal]

'You know I'd get you drunk after if I could.' Not like she knew anything about what they were talking about, but hey.

"Alright." Roz nods in agreement.

[Kin Hachirobei]

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Kin would ask.

[Zack Asiv]

The Guardian would look at Kin momentarily before reaching into the crystal.

"Keep your sword away."

His hand would seemingly phase into the crystal, grabbing the egg in a scoop like motion before pulling it out. His hand was part of the shell of the large egg as he turned and handed it off to Roz, with Preston's skills and expertise it was a simple matter to keep the flow stable. Once Roz had it the Guardians entire form would fuse with the shell.

[Preston Salabim]

"I would ask for a little space while I purify the Crystal. I do not want any of you to contaminate it on accident."

He'd say running a finger over the crack in the crystal gently. Trying to get a feel for how bad the damage was.

[Rozalin Kendal]

Roz would nod as she received the egg, holding it carefully like some porcelain prize as she glanced at Kin's sword. What could she say, she had a penchant for the shiny and unusual. She gave him a thoughtful look and stepped back to provide Preston space to do what he did best.

"How long has the sickness been here?" She wasn't sure who would have the answer, but figured someone would.

[Kin Hachirobei]

Kin frowned but he understood. Then he would back up away from everyone making sure to turn so that his thirsty blade was furthest from everyone.

[Zack Asiv]

Preston would feel the shock of the red energy as the corruption lashed out. Not pain, but it would make Preston feel like nothing was right and everything was off. However he would be able to tell that it was used to hold, repel, and generate far more energy than it's raw state was ever meant to handle. The inner markings, energy connections were rudimentary, and appeared to be mostly guess work. Many of which were mostly broken or burnt out.

Armen would answer Roz.

"A long time. We haven't been able to grow food or drink water from this territory for as long as I can remember. We've had to deal with traders or people passing by for supplies. Though it didn't start effecting people until a few years ago."

[Preston Salabim]

"Whoever marked and worked this crystal did not have a good grasp on what they were doing. The crystal has taken far more energy than it can contain, I will need to inscribe new symbols on it once the damage is done to keep this from happening again."

He frowned briefly before taking a slow deep breath. He couldn't go into this with a negative mindset. Closing his eyes he would think back to some of his happiest moments. Getting into the Academy. The feeling of accomplishment at his first spell. The overwhelming and humbling sense of honor the first time one of his papers was published. Even recent events such as being chosen to lead the clerics. He was entrusted with greatness, and he was truly happy that his hard work was being recognized, that he could do what he loved.

Reaching into his satchel he withdrew a small vial that would appear to have nothing inside of it. Preston would handle it with care as he unfastened the cork, the faint echoing giggle of an infant ringing in the air around them all as Preston ran his hands carefully and lovingly over the Crystal while the infant's first laugh washed over it.

"Látið hreinleika fyrsta gleðinnar í lífinu hreinsa myrkrið í þér."

[Rozalin Kendal]

She got the basic idea of what was said and nodded, both to Preston and Armen. She was surprised there was enough trade here to have people last so long.

Looking up at the sound of a baby's laugh, she just stared. It wasn't unusual for Ayatlan, but it still threw her.

[Kin Hachirobei]

Kin still sits off to himself. Waiting.

[Zack Asiv]

The Crystals energy would begin to glow lightly as the energy began to shift, eating away at the red glow and becoming a florescent white in nature.

[Preston Salabim]

Preston stayed where he was chanting the incantation as the laughter and positive energy moved through the tainted negative energy.

[Zack Asiv]

The negative energy finally subsides after a few moments, while no longer corrupt there was still the matter of the physical damage and the over whelming amount of stored energy.
