No speech, no sound... and everyone around him now seeming barely more than shadows in a treacherous and exhausting climb blanketed by frightening silence. He liked to think it was his desire to seek the truth, as hinted at by others, that was driving him on, but as heavy as this place seemed to weigh on him, he couldn't stop, and he was sure that the idea that it was of his own volition was just a nice platitude to prevent him from lapsing into silent, thrashing terror. Each floor had cost something, and the way the others around him looked, he was sure he appeared to them. Was this their destined end? To be taken apart piece by piece? A tedious, slow and silent execution? Not even execution perhaps, but mere erasure. Swept off the page of existence to clear it for more permanent marks, perhaps. Depressing, frightening, but he still couldn't stop. OOC 27 out of 200 steps 50/50 HP if we regenerated, otherwise down 11 from being punched by Remi A slight bird like man with glossy black hair, still wearing Silver Kingdom robes that have blood on them. Most of it seems to be from his nose. It looks like that probably hurt.

He was making progress. The fan actually helped, giving him an even tempo to work from as his feet hit stair after stair. The top of the tower was slowly becoming closer.

It ached to climb, and it slowed his steps, even as mechanical as they were, but they didn't stop. Not even for one breath, and he was afraid to look ahead, to see how much further there was to climb, for fear of loosing his footing. Was that ridiculous, to be afraid of falling when the tower and The Voice were taking away other pieces of him bit by bit?

One-hundred-eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four, eighty-five, eighty-six-
Kiwi counted each step as he rose, a gust of air from the fan cooling his tired face.

His feet were starting to tire, and ache with soreness.

What was causing this? What parts were lies, what parts were true? Would it matter when they reached the top? He'd trade every secret he'd ever learned just to hear someone whistle. Or sneeze. The silence made it all worse, because there was nothing to distract from the persistent fear, the ominous shadows, and the oppressive, bone weary ache of continuing. He ached for sound, in ways he imagined someone in the desert would ache for drink, but none came. There were only more stairs. More questions. By the end he might well be made up of nothing but questions.

[ Entering Floor 2 ]
To enter, sacrifice all that you speak.
Etzer clenched his fists and moved forward, trying to calm his angry mind. When he walked through the door, he felt his body being pulled upwards. He was too upset to speak, but he couldn't hear anything nor could he speak.
Not that he minded.
Quote:  Name: Etzer
Steps: 118/300
Kingdom: Silver, but still fighting for Red
Rank: Pawn
Rank Ability: Adaptability
Miasma Color: Red
Appearance: A young teenager who seems malnourished, this boy has immense spirit to compensate. He is very thin with long black hair he loves to braid, and wears a long jacket with no shirt on underneath - it makes one think that he likes to remain cold. Through life he was teased and bullied, but he wants to make a name for himself in helping to fight for and guard the kingdom, as well as his King.

Kiwi had begun to notice the sheer amount of silence that had settled into the tower. And just as he did the Voice spoke again. It offered him everything. And as nice as it would be to have his home again, to have Mara again, he knew the truth. Mara wasn't coming back. The Islands were gone. And nothing that 'existed' within this place would ever be real.
No thank you.

(( entering from floor one )) He continued on in silence for a while by choice, running his hand along the wall and frowning when it still made no sound. So he wasn't meant to trade one sacrifice for another, then? Westus felt a faint twinge of worry over what he might be giving up next, but it faded quickly enough.

A quaking shook the stairs beneath his feet once more. With his hand still skimming the wall, Westus didn't lose his balance. He barely even registered the tremor at all. Quote: Steps: 138 Appearance: Long, unbound white hair, gray skin, white eyes, black horns, black spaded tail, plain gray robes.

Onwards.
Etzer's muscles were screaming at him again, but this time he ignored them. He was determined to see this through.
He didn't want to be a fragment. He wanted to be himself.
Was he Etzer?
He didn't know...

Although he had no voice, he mouthed the words of every song he could think of, thinking them as hard as he could as he did so, as though thinking hard enough could drive the sounds out of his thoughts and shatter that oppressive silence. He didn't actually try and sing them, but it was a small bit of spite against being taken apart in pieces. Sacrifice after sacrifice, when the stars seemed to go on for ever. So. Many. Stairs.

Remember your Kingdom, and why you were created into this world. Without it you will be lost. Without it you will become discarded and thrown away. You are a fragment that I created. Without me, you will cease to exist in this world.
Etzer was already lost. His Kingdom was a lie, and he had already died, once...
He didn't want to be a fragment.

Kiwi was seriously beginning to miss his wings. All these stairs were ridiculous. He would have to remember to up his training regimen.
