4 -> 8
The undecipherable madness continued even as he strode through the halls, turning and finding dead ends, turning again and finding new branches to explore. Worse, after a particular fork he started noticing his own voice had begun to mock him.
No-one liked him, after all, not even himself.
How very astute, me.
Perhaps he should save them all the trouble of dealing with him back home and just die here.
Sorry, that thought should have happened back when I was 19 again. You're a little late.
His posture tensed nevertheless as he moved on.

[Area 9]
4/10
Separated again, Nergui tried to hurry onward. They must have passed her, and if she just kept going she would find them again. She had to find them. The dark did not usually bother the mare, but something about this place, this darkness, made her skin crawl.
Or perhaps the cold giggling that seemed to follow behind her. She made a strained noise as she slid her fingers along the wall, walking quickly forward. Her other hand was up at her ear, a hopeless attempt to block out the noise that she wasn't at all sure wasn't just in her head. She was used to voices, they were almost a comfort to her at this point, but this? This was awful. They were not usually so clear, did not ridicule her, did not laugh. They only roared loud enough to be distinguished in situations of high stress.
This place was awful, but as of yet it was not bad enough to bring the Insanity to the forefront.
Whatever these new voice was, it was not normal.

He hated that neither of them could block out the voices as well as they should have. They weren't demoralizing so much as irritating--well his own was. The unfamiliar voice unsettled him and made his steps a little brisker. Jack nearly crashed into a wall and cursed, wondering if he was even remotely close to the end yet.

The peace of mind that Yves got from the silence allowed him to concentrate better in feeling his way through the dark though he found himself starting to wonder as to how he ought to confront Kas the next time he ran into her.

And onward he went, dogged by the voices still. He was starting to wonder if anyone else would start bugging him too while they were at it. Then Jack decided not to entertain the thoughts and give the maze any ideas.

From there it was a spring, hop and a jump straight to the end. Or, well, a slide more like. Jack didn't care. He wanted out so that Owain could stop complaining about being hungry, the nameless madness could stop complaining about whatever it was it was complaining about, and so that his fake self could stop acting like an emo at him.

As Yves made his way through the maze, he suddenly felt his hands brush against something only to have it disappear into thin air the next moment. He stopped for a moment to feel around for a bit, half wondering if it had become dislodged from the wall and fallen to the ground as a result though that theory wouldn't hold ground granted that he should have heard it drop if it had come to pass. It was simply as if the object, whatever it was, had disappeared. After searching around for a bit and coming up with nothing, he gave a shrug and went on his way.

Lan's voice seemed to be fading, but the one that over powered it was worst. So familiar, so cold and detached. It followed her as she walked on, dragging fingers along the wall as she turned a corner and continued onward. Her own voice, loud and painfully clear.
"She's right, you're flawed, you're broken, why would he want you?" She flinched, teeth clenching as her shoulders climbed up as tension knotted through her back.
"It's not true." She would have welcomed silence at this point. The awful, deafening silence she had once experienced in the haunted house. It had been terrifying then, it would be a relief now.
"Bastion deserves so much more than you. They all do. You're nothing, not anymore. Weak. So weak."
Her head shook, eyes closing tightly as she walked on blindly.
"They'll see you for what you are, eventually. A lost cause. A walking liability."
It wasn't true. It wasn't true. It wasn't.

"You've gone soft even though you're an Executioner Yves." Yves froze in place momentarily when he realised that the voice belonged to his father this time round. A figure that he both revered and at times feared. "It is exactly because of your incapability that the Humans succeeded in destroying our home." He shook his head, powerless to even come up with a retort to the voice's claims as he tried to get himself out of this particular corridor as quickly as he could.
"Mio says she's lonely here. Perhaps we should keep you here with us forever. Perish your thoughts of rebuilding our clan. They have no need for a weak and worthless stallion like you." He tripped over his own feet in his haste but quickly picked himself up to carry on, his head shaking the entire time as he tried telling himself over and over that what the voice said was not true and that he had to persist till the end.

It had seemed like forever but Yves finally literally saw the light at the end of the corridor which could only mean that he was nearing the exit. Just a little more now and he could finally be out of here.

She tried to hum, to block out the sound of her own voice, of Lan's voice, ringing in her ears. it didn't help, not really, but she did so anyways. That soulful lullaby from her music box, the one that meant so much. She wrapped herself in that song, and kept moving forward.

And he was here. Finally. Yves never thought that he would miss seeing or the light so much. In any case, he was finally here and he decided that he would take a breather for a bit before attempting the next room.

Area 3
The next area only had him wondering if this blindness thing was permanent. For a moment there had been light and then...darkness. Utter, utter darkness. Well, after blundering his way through most of the last corridor, this really couldn't be that bad could it?
It could be, as he found out as soon as a voice started in on him. He frowned as soon as it began, the familiarity of it stinging his heart even while he stood there confused. "Sister?" He asked, taking a step towards where he thought he heard her.
"Sister what are you doing--" He began, but the voice cut him off short.
"You really can't do anything right, can you, brother?"
Wrath's face darkened, his eyes narrowing.
"I thought nagging was for old mares past their prime." He muttered, ignoring the voice that was most definitely not his sister and moving on.

She was shaking, a fine trembling in her fingers where they slid along the cool walls. Surely to goddess she had to be getting close to the end.
"Bastion? Lushla!" Where were they? She just wanted them back. A familiar hand to hold would have been a great comfort at the moment.
