Its thoughts were merely hunger, greed; it had lay dormant in its room for so long, but just beyond the icy tunnel was more. More magic. Tons of it, free in the air and in the rock, free to be consumed. It had spent cycles—eons, eras, an eternal everlasting—eating at the magical ice ward that blocked it from Polaris. It started as any other golem before it grew, and grew, and grew. It became more than it was, an amalgamation of the other golems in Ursa.

They became. They were born: the great golem, the great bear... Ursa. They were one, together, a collective hivemind under the chilly thumb of Order.

They devoured their way to Polaris, breaking free from their prison. Ursa's tumutlous winds exploded into the Core, a feeding frenzy blizzard, and with it, the golem. It began feeding on the magicka-rife crystals at the entrance of Tunnel B, where it alerted others to its presence. Namely, Azigh, the Guardian of Pegasus, and Skahan, the Architect of the Caves.

The golem reached out with its rock jaws and clamped down onto the hands of Azigh; the winged guardian held the beast in this position, condensing the air around its hands and arms to protect himself from suffering too much damage. He winced, but was determined to keep the bear distracted long enough for others to come and help him. Not long after his voice rang through Polaris, they came: the Gembounds. With fire and fists, they descended upon the golem—and ignited latent pools of Pyrogel from a previous explorer, causing a large explosion—and snared its back legs with vines.

"Yes!" cried his voice, echoing through the winds. "Just a little more!"

He'd felt it, the chill of the mountains and the bite of the bear, and he bore through the walls to find it. It was filtering through the vents like poison and his lungs suffered the cold, venting it through his skin as his scales breathed up and down. It worked well, in a way, complimenting his natural cooling mechanism. But still, it was unnatural and threatening in a way he could not define. Its magic was crisp and neat, perfect by design, and so Skahan had released himself from sleep to find it and dispose of it. The initial quake of Ursa opening shook loose the path to Gemini, and he bore through there toward Tunnel A, where his body bit and ground the crystal to expose the Core and the fighting within.

A voice from the crowd, Cryogen, shouted a weakness and Skahan hurried toward them and spared no moment for greetings or pleasantries, instead diving directly into the collection of rock and magic with the very drill-like twists he used to bore through the cave itself. A roaring and crunching of rock spit from the golem's side, with Skahan constricting around its abdomen, his jaw grasping the back of its neck. This Hivemind... it did not belong here.
