With a mighty crack the sword shatters and inky black (occasionally sparkling with stars) fills the chamber. The shards of the blade are clear, like glass, as if all of the color and astral movements were contained within the sword itself.
The inky blackness coalesces into a black form: somewhat humanoid but shifting and amorphous as well. The form is large: dwarfing even Lludd, who writhes and hisses. It seems to look around, as if taking in its new environment. And then it addresses you:
Free, I am free. For many years, too many to count, I have been imprisoned in that shell, eating only what pittances we could steal.
You have freed me, and for that I am grateful. What do you wish in return?
