Your short-lived exploration into the tower is stopped by a door. The door reads 'To enter, sacrifice all that you hear'. As you enter inside, you can no longer hear anything, literally. People talk, things move, there are those gesturing towards you, but you can no longer hear them. The trek up is a series of stairs that simply wind upwards, not unlike the Silver Tower. Every so often the stairs shake, the strange feeling of something ominous winding above.

- You MUST POST AN EXIT POST FROM FROM the base floor in order to reach this floor. - All players must pass through this series of levels before hitting the next section - Inside, you can not hear ANYONE talk. In fact, you cannot hear anything. As you head up, you need to pay close attention to your surroundings, to refrain from falling - You MAY interact with other players, but remember noone can hear anything. Gesturing and so on works fine. Telepathy does not work either, unless coming from the Voice. Make sure to quote people you are talking to.
gaia_crownAscending: - Roll 2d20 to continue to ascend up the stairs. You will need a total of 100 steps to clear this area. Make sure you rp out all your posts. In addition, follow the prompts below. Write your reaction to them as needed.
When you hit the 50th step (or higher):
You hear the Voice talking to you. It sounds displeased and disappointed. "You dare take the powers of the others, when I created you, gave you purposed, and promised you a Kingdom. You dare raise your punitive claws against me? Even reforged you will never be on the same level that I am."
When you hit the 100th step (or higher):
As you leave you hear the Voice again. It seems mostly annoyed. "All I ever wanted was to find the True King, and get, the others still stand in my way. I have given them no harm, no trouble, I have waited this long, and my prize is to be betrayed by everything I embrace, again."
When you reach the end of this floor (100 or higher), after responding to the prompts (above), both AT LEAST ONCE, move to THE SECOND PART OF THE TOWER
Oh, look more stairs. Hopefully this tower wouldn't try to kill her like the last one did. This trial was almost comforting because it was familiar at least. One foot in front of the other.

Bix came to the door and read aloud, "To enter.. sacrifive all that you hear."
He didn't see anyone around and currently, heard nothing but his own voice. With a shrug he pressed on, pushing through the door to the other side. It was silent and it took him a moment before he truly realized how total the silence was.
His own breathing. His feet. His clothing shifting.
She wasn't even sure she wanted the answer. Especially if it came with the caveat of "You're not real and will die anyways"

The silence was defining. Unnerving. She couldn't even sing or hum.
The voice sounded but it certainly wasn't talking to Millie. She had no idea what it was babbling about.

Someone passed him without a sound and the albino jumped. In fact he practicaly leapt out of his skin. He didn't recognize her but now he was paranoid about who could be sneaking up behind him.
He exhaled, the rush of air going on for far longer than it should have. As if death wasn't enough of a sacrifice. He shrugged. Oh well. There was nothing in particular he needed to hear anymore anyway.
Westus pushed open the door and slipped inside, the flicker of a smile touching his lips when he saw what lay ahead. He could faintly recall he once had a fear of heights, but that feeling was gone now. Maybe there was some benefit to being a lifeless shell after all.

Now running up the stairs, Millie wasn't sure if she couldn't take the unsettling lack of noise- even her own footsteps.

The sound of The Voice startled Millie. If she had shoes, she surely would have been scared out of them. Again, it really didn't sound like it was talking to her. Almost.... whiny..
One foot in front of the other.
Thankfully she found a way out

Keel gave the warning no thought, and ran up the seemingly endless flights of stairs. To the top, They need to get to the top.

"You dare take the powers of the others, when I created you, gave you purposed, and promised you a Kingdom. You dare raise your punitive claws against me? Even reforged you will never be on the same level that I am."
He heard it in his head and once more almost leapt out of his skin.
The Voice.
His mouth opened but then he stopped. Why bother talking when no one would hear? He randomly thought about some strange saying about a tree falling in a forest and if it made a sound, but things were still spotty in his mind and the words of the Voice were mixing him up.
Did he ever want to be the same level as The Voice? No. Not at all. He'd never been the type to want to rule anyway.
Gilly climbed the steps, they seemed to go on forever. She saw some of the other people who had become part of the Silver kingdom as she had. It looked really spooky, all these grey garbed people making there way up the tower. Gilly just stepped one step at a time, she wasn't sure what was at the top, and it seemed like a fast pace wasn't necessary.

Everything was quiet. Too quiet. The silence made everything feel so much more dangerous and terrifying.
They couldn't hear anything...just as the door warned.
Keel bit their lip, and continued upwards. The threat of the Voice past him as if it wasn't there.
