"Is it done?" Roger asked as he got up from his seat, adjusting his shirt as he looked at Dale, his eyes focused and serene

"I guess so, the Tablet went silent and I don't feel as weird anymore, but I can still feel it stir..."

"If you're not satisfied with what you learned today, we could still visit the other Crucibles, see what they have to say as well. It will be a tad complicated to enter them, but it's not something out of my jurisdiction to do."

"The others? Wouldn't things just end the same way?"

'I am curious about them, but if their functions are the same, won't I just learn the same things again?'
