"He said secrecy is necessary, so tread lightly as you go," says Sal. Her eyes shine with excitement. Apprentice Mog "Mog," you say, "why all the secrecy?" "Because we've found it, <playername>!" he says. "We've found it!" "Found what?" you ask. "The secret of the crystal?" "Oh, this crystal has far too many secrets for us to uncover them all," says Apprentice Mog, "but I do think we have found a way to manipulate space with it." "Oh?" you ask. "To move a person through it?" "A person, yes," says Mog. "I'm not sure yet about move a whole civilization, but..." "Begin with basics," you say with a nod. "So have you tested it?" "I have indeed," says Mog. "How do you think I got all the way out here?" "I don't know... walked? Rode a horse?" you propose. "Nothing so banal!" he says. "I was... probing it, and, well, the first place I ended up was in the quarters of my grandfather." "The man has been dead for twenty years," says Mog amazedly. "We had a nice chat, and then I tried to return. Somehow, then I ended up in the glade, but long before even the wood elves ever arrived. It was untouched wilderness, and looked mighty different if I do say so..." "It was... beautiful," says Mog with a forlorn look. "Anyway, I had fortunately studied enough of it that I mangaged to manipulate it to my own ends and return to my own time after a couple of more... mishaps. Nook and Soni thought I had only been gone for a few seconds. How could they know it had been millennia?" "It seems the crystal's inclination is to manipulate time," says Mog. "Propelling the user throughout the ages, but I was able to give it a push in the direction of space." "I ended up in the middle of the ocean and very nearly drowned before I managed to get it to summon me to a ravaging desert," he says. "I was once again hurrying to use it for fear of my life, because I was face to face with a monstrous insect," he says. "Finally, after that, I ended up on a deserted mountainside. Not where I wanted to be, but it gave me freedom to take my time." "I ended up back at the Hall," he says, "and after that, was able to move myself here. I moved back and forth a few times to be sure I had control. Astounding, isn't it?" "Very," you say, "I have to admit that I am completely mystified." "Well," says Mog, eyes sparkling. "Would you like a demonstration?" "Yes!" you say. "Certainly!" "Well, then," he says. "watch this, and meet me back at the Hall of Glyphs." Quest Completion "I Hope I don't flub it and completely ruin the suspense," says Mog with a crooked grin. He takes in a deep breath and seems to steady himself. "I can do this. I will not fold under preasure..." You note that despite his words, he appears to be shaking.
