Nush let out a deep breath as he managed to find his way to some sort of broken path. It seemed to head underground. With a furrowed brow, he stared down, wondering if he would have to go through another sort of molten facility. Hopefully not. The burns and such he had received from that place were not pleasant to say in the least.
No matter. He just went on down to begin his descent.
It seemed relatively normal at first, but at some point, the fog overwhelmed him greatly. He wasn't sure when he blacked out but he was soon hit was a very vivid memory of sorts.
Some man.. he was ready to betray those he had sworn oaths to, and he felt absolutely no remorse for it. Nush couldn't help but feel a tinge of anger for this. What kind of man would do such a thing to those he considered his allies? Striking down one's enemies were one thing, but to take down your own comrades? That didn't seem right.
Shaking his head, Nush found himself awake once more. Who was that man?

She gingerly moved forward, one careful step at a time as she tested each platform before putting her weight onto them. Was it stupid of her to follow this path? Maybe. After all, she didn't know where it would lead, and then thickening fog was making her increasingly paranoid about misstepping and falling off one of the surfaces.
However, as she continued on, she realized that as the fog grew more prominent, so too did the haze in her mind. Stumbling, she caught herself at the last minute by collapsing onto the next platform, her head heavy. What was--
The rush of the memory that filled her mind terrified her, her voice catching in her throat as the images of torn, mutilated bodies filled her vision. Screams, blood, entrails and severed limbs--Ixyguin was unable to escape from the memory until it finally released its hold on her.
Eyes wide, she lay there for a good minute or so before pushing herself back up on quivering legs, clearly shaken. There was something else that lingered on her face though, a kind of coldness that hadn't been there before.

Standing on a ten foot platform, the grey-thing stared at the emptiness and fog that surrounded his little island. Cursing to himself, he looked up at the path where he had slipped from. If the ground didn't give way to him, this wouldn't have happened. Stranded, he looked at the other platform, even seeing some movements here and there. However, that wasn't what bothered him. If the pathways of the Spire were hard to navigate, this was significantly harder to do. The fog that surrounded him washed over any paths that were (or weren't) there.
Taking cautious steps, he pressed on. Finding a path here and there, but when his foot caught nothing beneath it, he fell down further into the abyss, his yell cutting short as he slammed against another platform below.
1 - The Traitor: They were coming. He knew that, in his heart, with a sort of sick joy - they were coming, and he was the cause of it. Those he had sworn oaths to would die. He had betrayed them, and yet he could not find it in him to be sorrowful. Guilt was gone. There was nothing but emptiness where remorse should be. All that remained was that terrible, trembling joy...
On his hands and knees, the being rubbed his head. The memory was not his own nor did he really feel affected by it. He was no traitor and he did feel remorse and sorrow... he thought. Did he feel joy? With a growl, he pushed himself to his feet and stumbled onward with head in hand.

Nush soon realized that he was not alone. Just behind him was a female figure. Someone with a yellow heart. His eye(s) narrowed as he looked to her, quietly regarding the shadow. He could still feel the lingering sick joy from the memory. It made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
He turned back around and began to descend further. He could hear the sounds of battle below. Finally at a sort of platform, he let out a breath. Soon enough, another figure came from the fog. There were no distinct features on this one, but he could feel that terrible sense of elation that was from the memory.
Slowly, he raised his gun, using both hands to help steady his aim. The figure rushed at him with a sword. He began to move back, firing off a shot into his shoulder before feeling the blade slice against his own form.

It had taken Ixyguin a while until she realized that she wasn't alone, and even then, it wasn't until she saw him descending did she realize he was there. "Oh. W...wait a second," She murmured, almost to herself as she moved to follow after him. Shaken, she was hopeful that being in the presence of someone else would help alleviate some of her fear.
Of course, that was not necessarily the case. To make matters worse for her, she was beginning to notice strange faces in the fog, their expressions twisted in disgust as their gazes followed her down. Trying to eyes downcast, she hurried her pace, wondering where the male figure that had just passed her by wa--
--Oh, there he was. She moved after him, only to jerk back in shock when she was suddenly intercepted by a figure, its eyes filled with the same, shocking cruelty as the person she had witnessed in the memory.
Shakily, Ixy steeled herself as best as she could as she swung her weapon out at the figure.

"What do you want?" he asked the female figure, not bothering to look back. He needed to keep his attention on the one he was fighting.
The figure lunged at him again. Nush began to move to the side before firing off another shot. The bullet struck the stranger hard in the chest, but it didn't seem to be a kill shot.

Jumping at the voice, her gaze flickered towards the other figure from the corner of her eye before jumping back to her opponent.
"N...nothing really, I was just..." A pause, and in then she whispered in a softer voice, "Did you see it too? The memory? All those bodies?"

"There were no bodies. Only one soul who was planning on killing his allies. His comrades. Someone who would feel absolute joy in doing so," he said a little coldly.
He fired the gun again.

...Killing his comrades? That didn't entirely line up with what she had seen. Frowning, she shook her head.
"We must have witnessed different things then. What I saw was a man of unmatchable cruelty, who took great pride in torturing and..." She trailed off, and then shook her head.
"Ixyguin. You are...?"

Before he could fire his gun, the person rushed him, knocking his aim off. With a hiss, he quickly backed away.

Wincing, he pressed on. A sick smile ripped across his face as he moved along the path. The faces of the fog did not deter him, but made the smile grow more and more. That terrible and sick smile. That sick and terrible joy. Was this what that memory felt? A traitor's memory. Looking below he dropped down with very little hesitation. As Aeru landed, the fog swirled viciously as a being stepped from the wall of smoke with a weapon in hand. It's presence gave off the same feeling, that emotion that seemed to fill him, too.
Aeru smiled.
"I guess... we're all a little mad."

A slash of the blade was parried by a decent feint. They seemed to smile a terrifying smile and even their attacks were followed by bone chilling laughter. One would even question if he actually took the attack intentionally.
"More, more, more! I'm right here!"

"Nush," She echoed thoughtfully, givinga little nod as she commit the name to memory. Then she let out a short, somewhat bitter laugh.
"So we witnessed different people...but they were both terrible nonetheless."

Nush's eye twitched as he missed again. Speaking and firing a gun didn't seem to be the best course of action for himself. He needed to focus. Instead, he was getting sliced up by this mysterious entity that may or may not be the traitor.
