As he reached the throne room, he could see the Mushroom King waiting for him, his expression unreadable. Skraal approached him and extended the red-core towards him. "Here," he said, "I've taken care of Ageris."

The Mushroom King took the red-core from him and examined it closely. "Well done," he said after a moment, "you have proven yourself worthy of my trust."

Skraal couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at those words. He had gained the trust of a powerful being like the Mushroom King, and that was no easy feat.
