All sensors within the room suddenly failed at once now, all equipment used to check and keep track of it. Even the damping field showed as having failed in the room, the door seemed to almost fuse with the walls around it if any guards or other such were to attempt gaining entrance. And a little over an hour later. All systems in the room returned to nominal and flipped on instantly as the door opened. Out stepped Zeurei with a still fresh red stain covering the front of his robe, and he sat against the wall, a smile on his face. He seemed in slight pain, but he moved with no urgency, like this was a normal thing. In his left hand he held a large purple shard almost 20 times the size of the one he'd gone in with. He left no blood where he sat down. And finally he checked around himself. After all, he'd realized he'd accidentally disabled their systems in the room. No emergency alarms would go off, no hazards would be detected. In the room sat a small blood stain in the middle, and a single jutting formation of the purple crystals nearby, one jutting tip stained slightly red. The blood effused minimally into it at that tip.

The Guards immediately start working on cleanup. The larger crystals seem to have some element of darkness within them... It's somewhat disturbing. Zeurei might hear faint whispers.
"Sir, are you okay?"
