He had to keep going. His vision was blurring, and he had to keep his hand on the wall to keep from falling over. Why was he so weak?
He didn't want to be weak.

As though struck by a sudden burst of energy, Shaheen began moving up the stairs faster then before, ignoring the weight that would push harder and harder against her. She could see that others were slowing, though still fighting against whatever force would attempt to slow them down.
She would reach the top. She would be there for the others when this all came to a head.

Tiredness, resentment... they made The Voice seem less alien, perhaps because he could still sympathize with those feelings, but he couldn't not know... he'd come so far, weary as he was he had to know. Your one simple wish is tearing us apart!
All that it wanted was a true king? ALL that it wanted? So much had already been destroyed, so many hurt....
He gritted his teeth and pressed on.

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.
If you tread further, you will only see disappointment. The Voice sighed.
Etzer grimaced, already feeling disappointment. What use was more? It didn't matter to him, he just knew that he had to reach the top.
I wish only for one True King. I do not wish for anything else. What will you gain from reaching me other than what you already know?
The ice mage shook his head, doubt overruled by anger. By desperation. He didn't want to be King.
He wanted to be his own person.
With anger came strength, allowing Etzer to barrel forward.

The weight harder to bare but her energy not yet waning, the chieftain from another world continued on with resolute determination. When the voice spoke again, she hesitated, then shook her head in a silent gesture of "No". Empty promises. None of this was real. She walked on even as the voice cut off in her mind.

He nearly collapsed, one stair short. He was almost there.
He just had to push himself through it all.
Just one last push.
Onward......

And yet still she climbed, refusing to give in to the weakness that would overcome her and halt her steps. Spurned by thoughts of her friends and what she wished to return home to. She would not stop. She would climb these stairs and conquer them. She would rise to the top, and she would not be held back by anyone.

He was there. Etzer had finally made it, sagging against the wall as he fought to keep his body from falling to the ground. Who ever designed these steps was a moron.
Brilliant, but still a moron.
After taking a few moments to gather his wits about him, Etzer headed forward.
[ Exiting to the top! ]

Obviously she had just expended too much energy. As her steps slowed and came to a near stop, she took a few long, deep breaths, attempting to shake off the weight and the weakness. Obviously she wasn't going to quit now, of course not!
She was just taking a small rest.

Would these stairs never end? She began on her way once more, though she was tired, her last reserves of energy seemingly used up as she trudged ever upwards.
The voice spoke again, and she simply shrugged, having made her decision long ago and knowing that she wasn't going to back out now.

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.
He forced his crumbling memory back to his days as a craftsman toiling over fireworks, the world beautiful and vibrant all around him. He had tried to forget it all when he had been shown what he was, but the feeling of this other life still lingered when he closed his eyes. Westus did so now.
He saw his small fingers securing wicks, his master's quick smiles, the opulence of the palace and busy excitement of the market. The Voice had created it all and now it threatened to take it away.
Would that be so bad?

Mjoll paused before entering the next flight of Stare, 'To enter, sacrifice all that you speak' Well that made no sense what so ever to Mjoll. She stood there mouth agape for a second, it should've taken speech the first floor and hearing the second.
She shook her head as she continued onwards and upwards. Hoping to reach the end, this trip was getting a tad on the silly side by now.
Current Location: Tower Floor 2 Character description:
Mjoll's well built with an hourglass figure. Her long blonde hair was left unbraid but with some pulled up in a bun so as not to drag the ground. Her ice blue eyes are as hollow as her soul. She has a plain cream dress on with white shoes.
The climb was everything now. She concentrated on every single step she took, willing herself to continue on. She had not seen Lifen nor Kiwi since they had begun, which meant that they were still somewhere ahead of her, and if they could make it, surely she could as well.

Was there an end to this? She was beginning to wonder. Would they all just continue to climb forever and ever, hoping for an end?
Her steps slowed as she thought about this, and she turned to look behind her at the steps below.
Maybe it would be better to just turn back....

Almost... almost there. He could see the door, and it made him want to hesitate. No that was a lie, he wanted to turn back. To run, to pretend none of this was happening... but that wouldn't help... not now. If the world didn't end, some part of him would always know a little that he'd failed if he found a way to turn back now.
