The core was occupied by a large prawn. The prawn had a tiny, white, translucent shell similar to those of the juveniles. But it was far bigger than a juvenile.
The prawn was too large for its shell. Its shell was more of a hat, so it couldn't escape into its shell, much less use it to house others.
The prawn itself was so large that it filled up half of the core of the shell. Since the height of the shell was around 6 meters, the prawn had to be 3 meters tall. That was even though it was lying on the ground.
When it rose up to greet them, it towered over them so much that it looked like it was about to attack and eat them.
The librarian said to them, "Welcome to my humble abode. I am the one known as the Crystal Magi."
The prawn didn't speak with them sound waves. It spoke to them directly in their minds.
It wasn't the intrusive and violent mental communication that he had had with a true god. It was more of a gentle flow of information into his mind. It was harmless.
