Hob brings the levitated apprentice into his home, passing through the Gallery Vault and into the Crystal Cavern. He lofts Card over the fountain and sends her body to rest on the ledge of his fountain.

Hob then climbs up the wall using the crystals as handholds. He settles into a niche atop the wall and calls upon the Force.

Inside Cardinal's mind, the blue glow of the crystals begins to glow hypnotically- one of Hob's illusions. ~ Cardinal Aiyalin,~ her Master's voice whispers in her mind. ~ I wish t'see the face of this intruder. Show him to me.~

Inside Cardinal's mind, a powerful compulsion to obey Hob takes hold of her thoughts.
