The next door is the door the guards are in front of. They step out of Hayatos way.

Hayato walks through the door into the next room.

He seems to be in a long hallway. The hallway is long, dark and foreboding. Either side is lined with small lava troughs that run the length of the hallway.

Hayato heads down the hallway, paying little mind to the amount of lava making up most of the floor.

Hayato enters a large chamber. Black stone adores the walls with hellish images etched into the stone. Lava flows from the door he enered from all the way up to the raised throne in the center of the room. The lava flows down either side of the throne. Corpses seem to line the walls. Their eyes tongues and teeth removed. Hayato can hear them breathing. They seem to be still alive. Guards line the carpet leading up to the throne. A woman sits on the throne, she is a dark elf with bright orange hair tied up in a loose braid. She has red markings on her face. Her eyes seem to be highly intelligent yet have a crazed look. She sits on her throne with her head resting on her fist with her elbow on the armrest of the throne. She looks a bit bored. There is a man standing to her left. He wears aristocratic clothes. Almost like a modern day take on 17th century clothing. He is a man in his 50's or sixties. A bit on the heavy side. The man appears to be Human. He raises his arms at Hayato's entrance.
"Ah yes do come in boy. You've arrived just in time."

Hayato remains neutral as he heads closer to the throne, keeping his hands behind his back.

The door slams shut. Hayato feels rather tingly, as if his body just fell asleep.
"You arrived just as the prince said you would. Come, we have much to speak of Hayato Saijuki. Much to speak of indeed."

Hayato shakes off the feeling as he continues to focus on the woman sitting on the throne.
"What do you need to speak to me about?" he asked, not even bothering to include how the woman knew him so well.

The man speaks now.
"Why have you not come to speak of our test crystal on the planet Aren have you not? I have been told that you wish to deactivate it."

"I wasn't told about you until after the elf who took the bloodstone suggested that one of you might be willing to help at the cost of her life."

The Matron speaks up now.
"Stupid Lunarian. You still don't get it do you? That stupid Technician never stole the bloodstone. She found it on planet. Now who do you suppose put it there?"
She smiles evilly.

Hayato remains neutral, "I have a vague idea...."
He turns to the side and taps his finger on his forehead, "Let me guess, you left that stone on the planet, knowing the FSA would blindly destroy it in their quest to conquer the medieval planet of Aren and open a portal that's slowly turning everyone into savage monsters." he turns to face the woman again, putting his hand back behind his back, "Or was this just an attempt to throw more kindle into this rivalry you have with the Hla'llyme clan?"

"It's all just an interesting test."
She smiles.
"A test that has taken 600 years."
The man speaks up.
"And you Cygaxian are going to help me finish the test by destroying the ships of the worker race. Whether you want to or not."

Hayato only snorts and lowers his arms, placing one hand on his side while leaving the other hanging at his side, "I hold no alligence to anyone other than Cygaxia, so I guess I don't have much of an objection."

"Good. The procedure will be relatively painless."
The Matron looks up at the man.
"What is the current state of Aren?"
The man looks of to the side. He seems to be looking at nothing.
"The worker race is currently shelling the planet. They are almost through."
The Matron smiles.
"Good then we can proceed with the next step of the process."
