What Levi came across first was a door. The inscription read like a warning; it was a threat. To enter, she would have to stop listening? What did that even mean? At the very least, the tatzel gathered something was about to happen to her personally if she decided to enter.
She understood soon after she walked on through. There was something amiss that she couldn't quite put her finger on at first, but the sound of her own steps was what gave it away. There was no sounding step.

As she reached the final steps, she heard the Voice again. Was it responding to her threat? Or was it just.. a pre-recorded message waiting for her to arrive at its destination, and tell her exactly what it wanted her to hear?
Still so mad. Still looking for the True King. Riley knew that the anger The Voice was showing was for those who were betraying it. Truly, she wasn't really betraying it at all - she was just trying to end it.
Betrayal is a part of life. Riley answered bitterly, in her thoughts, as she made it past the first floor. Get used to it.

Name: Riley Current HP remaining: 47 Damage/ Healing/ Defense done: Target(s): Rank Ability : Bishop Kingdom ability: MECHANIC: For one turn, the player can act twice in a row--once for themselves, and once for their illusion! Depending on your rank, this means that you can either attack twice in a row, use one move to heal and one to attack, or so on. However, be aware that by using this, the player's opponent now has two targets that they can hit, and therefore the enemy may also attack twice in that same battle phase. (USED) Character kingdom: Red Character's Miasma Colour: Red Character description:The strange looking young woman who speaks only through the mind was taken from her youth at an early age and given to a spiritual society, a group of women devoted to attaining higher levels of purity and consciousness. She spent most of her years in complete isolation, untouched and untroubled by the taint of corruption. Cleansing both the spiritual and physical aspects, she was then given to the King as an adviser, the whisper in the King's mind that made sure all of her choices were fair and uncorrupted. Now that the King no longer has need of her, she has chosen to abandon her spiritual purity and take up arms to protect her beloved Kingdom. She's just regular ol' Riley now. Be warned.
It was an eerie silence. Usually the ghoul found pleasure to hear the tiniest of rustling sounds. Sitting out back on the porch back home, wind passing through the candy corn vines that hung up on lattices made all the different after a day's work. There was nothing but emptiness in the air here. Was there even air?
Each step brought her closer to the source. This Voice believed it was finding a True King- some sort of ruler? the tatzel deemed that she didn't need a ruler; none of them did. They were their own guides through the course of their lives and unlives. She wasn't sure of how to go about trying to end this Voice, but whatever needed to be done, she hoped it was in her power to do so.
"You dare take the powers of the others, when I created you, gave you purposed, and promised you a Kingdom. You dare raise your punitive claws against me? Even reforged you will never be on the same level that I am."
The Voice suddenly speaking came as a shock through the empty silence. the voice practically boomed, causing Levi's ears to stand straight up in surprise. Gritting her teeth at the implication that her attempts would all be fore naught, a growl would've been heard had there been sound to hear it.
Glancing at the sign only momentarily, Marosa flitted his wings as he stepped onto the first step, feeling a tug at his body to continue. To finish what he started.
It was unnerving to feel the stairs shake, but the Ganerie was beyond worry at this point, wanting so desperately to be his own person.
He wanted to live, even if he had to die again.

Name: Marosa Steps:16/100 Kingdom: White Rank: Pawn Rank Ability: Adaptability Miasma Color: White Appearance: Marosa is a human-looking creature with wings that stands about 5'7", with shoulder-length red hair that is only slightly curly. His natural ability of touching people allows the recipient of his touch to become infatuated with him - this can either work in his favor or against. Marosa himself does not look like a strong fighter, but he looks incredibly flighty - able to dodge with ease.
The tatzel continued her pace, if not faster, more urgently racing upward. Usually when a foe spoke like a smart-mouthed boil, it was because they were trying to protect themselves from a truth. Perhaps the Voice wasn't as all powerful as it was letting on.
Rosy stopped just at the foot of the stairs, looking over the words as she read them outloud "'To enter, sacrifice all that you hear" her brow shot up as she was trying to figure out what they meant by that.
This Voice, was really getting on her nerves.
Stepping up the stairs, she glance around. It was quiet, not a single sound. Her footsteps, just her movement in general. She didn't hear any of it.
This was when it came to her, what the words meant. And all she could do was growl on the inside.

It was unusual for the Ganerie to not hear any sounds, but he was slightly relieved by the lack of them, despite the eerie feeling he had.
Being flighty had its advantages - he had no problems climbing the stairs whatsoever.

Levi felt she was almost to a plateau. The shadows weren't as consistent up ahead. Her tail swing side to side with every new step, but the movement continued to go unheard.
And still she kept climbing, her mind racing over what could be at the top. She knew the voice was going to be there, but what were they all walking into.
With a shake of her head, she pushed on.

He could see other shadows, but they didn't mean anything. Nothing meant anything at this point, except for getting to the top.
Marosa kept walking, unable to help but quicken his pace.

Then she heard it, that vile Voice in her head speaking to her. It was one of those times, she wish she could scream, just to drown it out.
"You dare take the powers of the others, when I created you, gave you purposed, and promised you a Kingdom. You dare raise your punitive claws against me? Even reforged you will never be on the same level that I am."
All she could do was scoff to herself. If it mean getting everyone out of here, and ending this dream, no matter what? Then she, she was going to do just that.
Ignoring the voice, she kept climbing...

"All I ever wanted was to find the True King, and yet, the others still stand in my way. I have given them no harm, no trouble, I have waited this long, and my prize is to be betrayed by everything I embrace, again."
Ya'shouldn't'a took what wasn't yers then! All Levi could do was mouth out her retaliation to the Voice's exasperated statement. Nothing came out; she wasn't even sure how or if it was even spoken right. It didn't really matter. Her climb was getting her somewhere as she left for a new staircase.
"You dare take the powers of the others, when I created you, gave you purposed, and promised you a Kingdom. You dare raise your punitive claws against me? Even reforged you will never be on the same level that I am."
Marosa paused at the voice, a wry smile sliding its way onto her lips. This Voice thought it was funny.
But he couldn't help but think of his reflection in the mirror. How even though he was a fragment, he was happier.
He wanted to know why.
The thought added an extra bounce to his step, and the Ganerie hastened to get to the top.
