Cores (3)

We looked at the glowing crystal for a while, trying to figure out just what this thing was.

But in the end, we weren't able to figure out a single thing.

While the crystal itself seemed special because of the glow around it, it didn't actually seem like this crystal did anything.

Well, other than seemingly giving power to the manta rays earlier.

This crystal was without a doubt connected to the turtle in some way with the flow of mana and the reaction that it had with the manta rays. Though it was hard to tell exactly what the connection between this crystal and the turtle was.

At the very least, that meant that this was a place to start.

After observing this crystal for a bit, I suddenly pulled out the bone sword and slashed at the crystal.

I didn't know if it would work, but I was certainly surprised by what happened.
