The door opened to reveal a massive floating orb. It was bright white and the size of a small house. Silva was led toward the orb but didn't get too close.

"The core of the labyrinth. We will infuse it with the heart, and for that, I need you all to use your mana to suppress the mana of the core for a second," Silva said.

"The labyrinth works on this core. If we are to stop its mana, wouldn't that cause issues?" Jade asked.

"It will, but only for a second. All we need is one second; before the disconnect reaches all the labyrinth, the core will have been set back in place," Silva replied.

They all agreed and took their positions around the core, ready to go. The reason Silva had to do this was because the core's mana would reject the heart.

The heart needed to be inside the core, and the mana would be allowed to flow again, then it would assimilate the heart, and the heart would do what it does best.
