He moved on and up, knowing what he had to find, what he had to do, testing fate the way he had before, pushing his luck, hopping from platform to platform.
And then came the fall. Down and down and down.
To his prize.

He fell slowly, just like before. Or rather, he just had a gentle landed at the bottom. Nush collected himself as he looked around at the room of blessings. This is what he was here for, so he collected one of the orbs and went on.

And so he went from the Forge to those stairs.
No, of course he was no masochist - but he knew the pain that was to come, and he was prepared, this time, with daggers. Again he followed the stairs' winding pathway, again he welcomed the cool, faceless fog, and again his core was filled with a red resolution. Who were they? Who was the defender?
Sarviur had no time to think about it. He had a ghost to vanquish.

Faces. Again. Sarviur was not awed this time, and the platform appeared below him apologetically, as if on cue. He jumped, landed.
The spirit did not take nearly so long to show itself this time, but it and its sword were not prepared for Sarviur's new gift.

He stabbed with them - he knew enough to do that now; they were a little like scissors. Although of course he'd never used scissors before completing that task - what a strange request. To pull a heart from some coreless body? It must have belonged to someone who was truly insignificant. Sarviur did not care.
He struck again, with one hand, and parried a blow with the other. The ghost or fog spirit or whatever it was had learned to kick, though, and Sarviur winced with it.

It seemed to realize that Sarviur had improved: it was acting more defensibly now. That didn't stop Sarviur from plunging his daggers deep into its ribs. It yowled, and it hurt his ears. He kept going.

She seemed to fight with more fervor now that she knew he realized it, too: the sudden flurry of blows from her side prevented him from getting close enough to reach. But he was resolute, and let himself at least parry some of the hits. If he could get closer, she'd be silly to keep using such long blade...

It wasn't a contest after that, and Sarviur was surprised to find he did not mind her battle cries even so close to her. His daggers stabbed, stabbed, stabbed...she had dissipated, and he stabbed.
Empty air. It was over.

No, not over. For after the platform, there were more steps, and lovely faceless fog, and steps, and fog, fog, fog...
Was Sarviur seeing things? For a moment he'd thought he'd seen, from the fog, little phantom limbs, grasping and kicking. No, they were just images from his memory of the battlefield - of the time before he'd won himself some weapons from his Goddess' favor.
He stepped down. Someone was watching.
He stepped down. Still watching.
It was his Goddess from above, he reminded himself. There were no ghosts to trail him now; only steps and steps and steps...for some reason, Sarviur knew he had to see where they lead.

The path for this area was more hazardous than the World's Edge, and he had to take extra caution, eyes darting about as his core hummed softly, alert for anything that could prove a danger.
From out of the brokenness, he found a path and followed it down and down, preparing himself for what he would find. However, no amount of preparation would prepare him for this.
As some stones gave way under his feet, as the fog he tried to long to avoid finally surrounded him, the scream, that scream, pierced through all, a scream shaking him to his very core. She was screaming, a sorrowful wail, echoing into the abyss, a cry that touched his very heart, making it ache for her. It was a sound that echoed the very presence of grief, longing for release, the embrace of death.
The memory was gone just as soon as it had appeared, but the image was carved into the residue of his mind, the sight of the screaming girl, mourning all that was lost. With shaky feet, he pressed on, a hand placed over his core as it continued flickering erratically.

Overcome with grief, he hadn't even noticed the fog begin to shift and contort, taking on different faces, echoing different emotions. Through the fog, one stepped out, a humanoid-form carrying a sword, the same sorrowful expression on their face as it stepped forward and struck at him.
And with the same emotion, he retaliated.

Stairs weren't made for hooves, he thought first, and then - no, that's not right. Goats climbed mountains; he could go down stairs. He still didn't like tripping, though, he mused, as debris fell of the edge. He couldn't see in front of him. There was so much fog...

Blade on blade, he struck back, and though grief overwhelmed him, he knew he had to do this.

The more he attacked, the more his core flickered, pulsing, aching, imitating the emotional equivalent of a heart in agony. Yet he must, he had to, and so he pressed on.
