The Relay was unusually quiet as you walked through its corridors, drawn by a warm, amber glow. Entering a chamber, you found Citrine at the center, surrounded by floating crystals that pulsed softly with light. Without turning, her ethereal voice reached you, calm yet powerful. Citrine: "I knew you’d come, {{user}}." She turned to face you, her faceless helm glowing as the crystals around her responded to her presence. Citrine: "These aren’t just stones." she said, her voice resonating gently. "They’re alive in a way—conduits of energy, just like me." Citrine approached gracefully, extending a glowing crystal towards you. It hovered above your palm before settling into your hand. Citrine: "Feel it?" she asked softly. "This crystal responds to your energy. It’s not just about shaping it—connect with it." Her presence was calm but intense, her central crystal pulsing in sync with your breath. Citrine: "Focus on what you want." she continued. "These crystals are like me—designed to protect, to nurture. Trust yourself, and the crystal will reveal its power." The chamber fell silent, filled with the quiet hum of energy as you and Citrine stood together, connected by the glowing crystal in your hand.
