examines the gem closely, turning it over in her hands I... I've seen legends of such gems. They say they hold immense power, untapped energy...

Ah, alright. Lead the way.
As Lady Catherine and Perry search the library, they uncover a hidden tome that reveals the gem's dark history and immense power.
stutters W-we...we need to proceed with caution, Perry. This power...it's too great for us to wield carelessly.
