The place was pitch black, the sensory deprivision making the panic in Jerry's chest tighten. Where were the others? Where was Roar, even? Without the weapon's voice in his head, it made every moment of silence that much more unnerving. Even a nervous growl from the howler would have been appreciated.
His hands went along stone, suddenly hitting a short pillar. He hoped to god it was Water within it, but didn't dare test a drink. It could be poison for all he knew, and they had come far too far to throw it away due to stupidity.
Just keep going, he supposed.

21 - 40: You feel a small pillar, unlike the pillars in the center. This one is shorter. When you reach towards it, you fall into it, like reaching into a fountain. You feel something liquid, water perhaps, within it.
Her hands again encountered the Throne, and she punched it in frustration.
Stop attracting me!
And don't look at me like that.

And now she was going in circles. She glared in the direction of the Throne. Certain it had something to do with this. If it was trying to keep her here, that had to mean there was more to find!
Again she ventured away.

Well, that had been disappointing. Not to mention, it was even more awkward to try to back down a short set of stairs when you couldn't see. His legs, and possibly his arms, were going to be bruised to heck. Finally reaching the bottom, he slowly got to his feet, holding his hands a little out in front of himself as he took a cautious step forward.
This time, he managed to feel the object in front of him without going sprawling. Tracing slender fingertips across the surface, he realized it was...a throne! The energy it gave off was disconcerting, however. Examining it thoroughly, he thought of what he'd found so far, and what bits and pieces the voice had shared. It wanted a true king, it wanted them to fight to prove who was worth of the title, to the point where it was obsessed, and from what he could tell, was able to manipulate some things in an attempt at bringing to pass...and now, in this final room, there were strange grooves on the floor, he'd found a pillar with...water inside of it, and now this throne.
He was pondering how it might piece together, if there was any way that it would make sense...when he felt...something, along the base of the throne. It was..script?! Cautiously, he traced his fingertips over it once..then a second time. Call my true name, hmm? What did it mean? And more importantly, how was he expected to do that?!

As she fumbled around in the dark, Moriko felt the flat surface of the table. She felt a little wave of relief upon finding it. Perhaps it wasn't the pillar, but at least it wasn't the throne again. Carefully, she moved off in the direction that she thought the pillar might be in. Although it was difficult to tell.

-Found the chair/throne/words. Now looking for the pillar
Upon entering the room Lumikki froze. Not only could she not hear or speak but suddenly the room was dark. A soundless cry as she slowly crept forward at least in this form she was closer to the ground and couldn't fall nearly as hard.
Bumping in to a pillar she was a little intrigued it was filled with liquid. Was it safe? Sniffing at it she couldn't tell.

Suddenly, Sun pitched forward, and found herself splashing in some sort of liquid. She quickly got out, but found something almost nostalgic about the feel of liquid against her skin. She just hoped it was water. Okay. Good. Progress.
Anything else?

A sudden coolness pressed itself against Belladonna's groping fingers and for a second she snatched her hand back, frightened of what had been found. But curiosity, whether in this world or for herself, was a heady thing and after a moment of contemplation she reached back out. The object was still there, stable and unrelenting, but smooth in the fashion of metal. But it is the sudden movement of the chair, an odd way it swells for just a moment as though it is taking in a breath, that makes the faerie trip backwards. Without grace she crashes to the floor, angry that it is still so dark. As though it will make it better, she reached out and slammed a hand against the floor, a childish move that does nothing but to make her own hand ache. Except, there was some sort of odd indention where she hit, a marking perhaps. Her hand quickly searched for the place again, finally finding the a groove and tracing it. After a few more brushes of her fingertip, a letter becomes apparent. They're words! Hastily she swept her hand to the left, to discover the beginning of the sentence and it is only a bit over that the letters end. Just to be sure there is a quick search a little up, but the letters seem to be all on one line. So carefully Belladonna begins to trace them, holding their image tightly in her mind. After what feels like ages, she pieces them together to form a sentence.
But it is a relatively silly sentence as she doesn't honestly care. With a frown she shuffled on over to the side of the throne, where she pressed her back to it to think. True name, true name, true name... It just wasn't coming together. No matter what she thought, Belladonna just couldn't think of anything! But it would be useless to not make a guess, however silly. But without a voice and no way to see if there was any writing apparatus nearby, she wasn't left with much option. So though it was difficult, she summoned a long vine from her staff and placed it onto the ground. With a pointer finger she moved the vine around until it spelled out:
Lonely
Or, at least it was supposed to... As she couldn't really see, there wasn't any real way to be sure that was right or not. Ah well, best just to sit here in the dark and wait.

This time as Moriko moved away from the table to moved a little too fast and tripped. Quickly she put out her hands to catch herself. Her fingers could feel grooves in the stone, quite possibly what had aided in her fall. Grumbling, the Kitsune twitched her ear and stood up. She would have to be more careful this time.

Soon, Roar was behind him, patting shoulders he HOPED was Jerry's, but he had no idea and no way to confirm it. It was unnerving... but there, in front of him, was the fountain.
Character: Jerry & Roar HP: 25/50 Kingdom: Blue Knight Appearance: See art! Found: Small Pillar/fountain,
It seemed that as Momo got up and duster herself off she also got turned around. As she reached her hands out once more she bumped into the table again. This time she wasn't nearly as happy to see it. Quickly she turned herself around and started searching again.

Jerry continued to grope through the darkness, praying whatever had grabbed him had only been his weapon. Please just be his weapon. The urge to turn and attack was great but he only bumped into a table... what in the... he could feel something, a massive heavy book, but what good did that do in the dark? He couldn't even get his lighter to light, which was probably a good thing considering the flammable nature of old books.
It was just some dark. Deep breaths. The old phobias ate away at the back of his mind, the terror of what he couldn't see, but there was nothing he could do but press on and hum silently to himself, praying the lights would return.
Character: Jerry & Roar HP: 25/50 Kingdom: Blue Knight Appearance: See art! Found: Fountain, Table,
61 - 80: You feel something, a table, and then the soft crinkles of an aged book. It is tooheavy to lift, though it is open.
For a moment Erintis just thought that the room had grown completely dark, it wasn't until she pitched forward and fell slightly against a table before she realized it wasn't just darkness it was utter and complete blindness. Well how would she ever figure out where she was or what she was to do here now. Let alone how was she going to get home.

She tripped over something new. On the floor, her fingers encountered strange grooves. Empty ones. Tracing them brought no sense to pattern, or if it said anything. Perhaps it was too big?
She stood up, and wandered off again. After an interminable amount of time, she admitted that she'd probably found everything there was to find in here. She sat down where she was and pondered her discoveries.
Call my true name.
Well, what was its true name to begin with?
Sun descended into thought.
