Velvet Room
Once Creation comes to, he finds himself back in the strange blue gallery. He looked around and saw those strange ponies with the pale changeling. Creation remembers that the changeling was Igor, Master of the Velvet Room.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room!" Igor said cheerfully, his bizarre smile still planted on his face. He would bring his hooves together for soft applause towards the colt.

"It seems that you have awakened to a newfound power. The power of Persona. The power to summon the inner machinations of one's psyche into the physical plane... Outstanding, isn't it?" Igor said, chuckling afterward. Creation nodded.

"Well, my young stallion, I'll let you in on some information we may have found. Inform him, Rare Novel." Igor said, directing his attention to Rare Novel, the earth pony with the fez upon his mane. Novel lifted his eyes from his book and smiled.

"You have the ability of The Wild Card. The Wild Card allows the user to gain power through the bonds they may forge in their journey. Associates, or the people you'll make bonds with, are the ones who will fuel the flames of your soul, thus allowing you to grow and gain more power." Novel explained. Creation looked at him in amazement.

“But, don’t get it twisted, young fella... Your bonds must be real and genuine. Otherwise, you’ll just find yourself on a downwards power trip until you crash...” Radiant Solo interjected, turning slightly towards the foreign guest of the room with caution supplanted in his voice.

“But, that’s why we’re here, doll... To keep you on the straight and narrow. To help you not stray from your path...” Azura said with a reassuring smile.

"As a client of the Velvet Room, we must allow you to have access to our services and hospitality, so we can see your progress and watch you grow. So, we bestow upon you the power of entering this very room at any time you please." Igor says as a golden key tied to a thin white string floated down onto Creation's neck from the beacon of light that cascaded from the glass dome above. Creation felt like he and Igor had a slight bond growing, knowing that Igor wanted Creation to do good, both by the Room and the World..

Thou art I, and I am thou...
Thou hast gained an Associate, a newborn bond...
With this bond, the Associate of the Glimmer shall teach you the potential and power that has yet to be awakened...
This bond shall open the doorway to courage, bravery, and glory...

There was a nice warmth in Creation's heart, one that he had never experienced. It felt nice. Igor, somehow, smiled even more than he usually did.

"Well, I believe that it is time for you, my dear guest, to return to the material world. Until we meet again, farewell.." Igor said as Creation Nation's eyes close once more, as he felt his mortal conscious awakening...
