The moment Estraeah's outstretched hand brushes the crystal, a pulse of energy reverberates through her body. It may be her imagination, but the crystals seem to actually grow to meet her touch. There is a light vibration in the cave walls, causing some loose rocks to fall. They roll directly to her feet. When her eyes flit over, she sees that Klaus has also went for one of the brown crystals.
Before she loses consciousness, she smells the faintest hint of rich soil, the kind you know will nourish any plant to its full potential. She does not feel herself hit the ground.
