She punched the button and arrived at the temple. It took her breath away at first. It was the prettiest place she'd ever been to in Wonderland, and Jack id she want to never leave.
But she had a purpose here.
Phymi walked to the orb. She paused before placing her hands on it. This would make her more powerful. This would strengthen her and give her a weapon, a true weapon beyond her cards. She idly wondered if she was worth of such a feat.
Fingers touched the orb and she felt it. Power surged through her and changed her. The rush was amazing, the claws that seemed to grow from her fingertips and extend gave her strength. While she didn't notice it, she fazed in and out of existence like a wraith.
Power was not the strength to go on. Power was not the courage to do what she had to. Power was not the wisdom to know when best to keep from fighting. Power was consuming, power was all encompassing.
Power was everything Phymi had ever wanted, and everything she'd ever want again.
A cheshire grin split her face wide, teeth gleaming in the light of the orb.
The Cheshire Cat Wraith turned and left the Temple, power crazied and hungry for more.

As soon as he'd passed through one of the cage doors of the Red Queen's Castle, the Lost Temple became accessible on his Pocket Card. In fact he was pretty sure his card was beeping a few times to let him know he should really get his arse over there.
Without much delay, he hit the button. And found himself not only on an island up in the sky--which bothered him none, he found the view to be breathtaking--but surrounded by water. Which was where his hesitation came from. It was a peaceful sight, that much he'd never dispute. But why so much water? Why must he... go through it?
Biting back a groan, the Gryphon started forward. The sensation of the cool water rising up around his legs made him grit his teeth, but it wasn't deep. Not deep enough to cause a problem anyways. He took one step to test his balance in the stuff, then began to walk. Determined, steady.
Bit by bit, he began to hear sounds of... a tavern? Mugs clinking, plates and utensils clanking, a fire crackling. Laughter. Cheers. The closer he got to the orb, the louder the sounds became. His pace increased, water sloshing over the side of the pool as he ran to the end. The sounds urged him on, and fueled his desire to see the source of this joy and thrill. Till his hand came upon the orb itself, and the scene spiraled out around him.
A large hall, wooden table strewn with food and drink and crowds, all laughing and cheering to one another. Stories were being shared, boasts made and met with challenges or cheers. He stood at the end of the hall, leaning in the cover of an archway. He could recognize some faces. Friends. Family, whispered a sense, turning his golden eyes to some in particular. Eyes turned to his, and he was met with a smile. Soon joined by cheers, as more found his hiding spot. He could hide no longer. He walked forward, and at his whim, flames erupted from the great hearths at the walls to the celebration of those gathered. Power coursed through his veins, crackling around him in sparks and streaks of flame.
Power to protect those gathered. Power to protect those he treasured most. He did not long for answers. He did not seek. He had all he needed. And all the power required to keep it.
Burn opened his eye and could not suppress the smile that lit upon his features. Yet that was not the only change, he noted as he looked upon himself. Buckles and belts met his gaze--one eye still patched, as before. Yet he could feel it. He was stronger. Royal Gryphon.
He didn't try to hide his smile. It was an achievement. One he was proud of, indeed. Straightening his shoulders, his buckles clinking with each fall of his boots, he made his way back to the Queen's castle. There was work to be done.

A tall man, his skin is dark and eye a bright gold color. Two sets of black horns curve upward from a mass of curly, short-cut pale hair. BridgesBurn has taken on a Gryphon coat of black and gold accents. The black and gold hat is accented by a golden feather. A loose white shirt can be seen under the coat, along with red pants and a heavy brown belt. An eyepatch over his right eye completes the look.
He was the right level, now. His little card-device had told him in a handy pop up that he was ready to LEVEL UP, whatever that meant. So k1ng activated his device, letting it transport him to the appropriate area.
Sometimes, it was easy to forget that he was inside a game inside a great, grand dream. It was impossible to forget when he was whisked away to impossible vistas and the blue, saturated waters of something not quite real.
Wading into the water, k1ng breathed deep, staying calm even as the world shifted around him, turning into something else.
In it, k1ng sees himself. Tall, broad shouldered, rugged. Stubble, staff in his hands, as long as Rep's axe. He is fighting, in this vision, he is the king of the world, he is ferocious and sharp and witty in all the ways that k1ng is not. He is a full hunter, with the embroidered gold trim and the swirl of mist: jack of all trades, and master of most. He has no problem keeping both men and women under his thumb, and he never has to fight for any sort of authority or respect. He has all the food in the world that he could want, taking leave to eat at countless all you can eat buffets, and money in the bank for days.
But it's just a vision, so k1ng picks his cards and gets out.

It was strange, Konpeito never thought she was a power type. She always chose the others in games she had played, preferring to strategize with other factors rather than raw power. Now that she was here.. She didn't know what she hadn't chosen power before. The raw surge rushed through her touch, coursing through her body from her hands. Her blond braid floated upwards, from the strange orb. her scarf floated along with her hair, the orb burning bright in her hands. It was burning yet it didn't have a trace of heat to it. Just warmth.
The warmth enveloped her with a vision.
If she had more power.. she wouldn't have a chance of dying. Others would have less of a chance of dying. She could be a moon division assistant.. She saw herself, in a coat that was far too epic, a moon symbol blazing on back. She struck with her arrow, with the intention to cause a healing force field. A glyph suddenly emerged from her arrow, instantaneously, like magic-- and it was far larger than she imagined. Was that the power?
Everything was deflected. Fallen hunters were getting back up once more. The sandstorm with the sand worms were forced to pull back, the barrier too strong for them. The sight was dizzying to Saya, hardly able to believe her eyes.
Nobody had to die.
That was a reason she needed power.

The tablet notified her that it was time to take her rightful place as Royal Gryphon, and Phoenix gave Mr. Tum Tums a solemn nod, allowing him to vanish back into the woods. He'd helped her get this far and in turn, she'd give him time to rest on his laurels and take a good long nap or two to recover from all the fighting. She'd gained several other pets along the way, and it was soon gonna be time for them to pull their own weight.
The temple was appropriately impressive, and the water, in a way, reminded her of church baptisms. That also felt appropriate as she walked through the water, her elaborate uniform heavy and dragging where it didn't float up behind her. This was a cleaning of sorts, a goodbye to Phoenix, hello to Royal Phoenix.
She'd always been a person who divided things easily, simplifying her existence and the way she interacted with the world around her.
As she walked, Phoenix became more and more aware of her heart pumping in her chest, of the motion of her arms and legs, all of which seemed to stronger, picking up in pace until somehow she was running through the water. No, not water, a storm of massive destruction that raged all around her. Faster and faster she raced, everything within her strong and perfect and powerful, precisely obeying her every need until everything became weightless and elevated.
She was the wind.
Eventually she looked down, her hand wrapped around the orb and a feeling of power filling her.

Tall and curvy with a proud bearing, Phoenix strides about in red and black Gryphon armour like it was designed just to swirl dramatically about her and emphasize how freaking majestic she is. From the name, to the cockscomb of a faux hawk, to vivid orange-red eyes, Phoenix's appearance announces: I bring the fire.
Pumcat and Diamond were about to enter one of the newly opened hallways in The White Queen's Castle when suddenly her pocket card starts beeping loudly "Huh?" she says as she pulls it out and hits the notification "You are level 28 and are eligible for Assention do you wish to be transported to the lost temple?" It informs her kindly "Oh wow! I didn't know I could assend!" she says excitedly before hitting the flashing button
Suddenly she and Diamond in the blink of a eye found themselves on the steps of a large temple surrounded by water that was floating in the sky "Whoa..." she says in awe as she marvels at the beauty around her finally she turns to look at the stairs and nods before head up at the top she found a pool sized fountain that took up much of the room there in the center was a orb somehow she knew she had to touch the orb but that meant she had to go through the water "Hm it looks like im going to have to go through the fountain so you better get off and wait for me on the other side Diamond" she says he nods then hops off and goes around the pool to the other side
Once he left she nods and steps in the water was only at about waist high and while cold at first she quickly got used to it she begins wadding through the water but as she gets closer to the orb her vision starts to blur but she pushes on until everything went black
It felt almost like reliving a memory but this was no memory first she heard the crackling of a fire ball and the whirling of steel next picture started to appear that was blurry at first but quickly got clearer there were two people battling one she didn't know but the other she knew very well it was her! Only she was older not alot though and stronger she and her opponent battled valiently till finally she was the victor the opponent was pinned down and she held her breath wondering what she'd do however she releases it in relief as her older stronger self unpins her opponent then reaches a hand down to help him up Yes thats what she wants she wants to be stronger to have the strength to protect what she cares about but she wants to stay her kind friendly self and not lose herself to power losing herself isn't worth power
Her vision returns and she finds herself standing before the orb with her hand on it inside she felt stronger and the new strength felt pure suddenly she feels something else almost like a regained ability but one thats slightly different from normal she begins reaching out for it with her heart reaching for her weapon suddenly round both her hands a blue glow in the shape of a paw almost with long three claws appears the light burst away to reveal thats was it was indeed on each hand was a rich darkish blue paw glove with three long blue tipped claws strangely when she flexes her hand the claws move in response and it almost felt as if the paw was her hands "Whoa..." she says before dismissing them just as she would her real life weapon
It was then that she saw something as she looked at her hands she was fading in and out of visability! She looks at her outfit to see her scarf was a bit more wispy and there were bits of spiraling wisps of what looked almost like fog around her she then flicks her tail forwards to see it seemed alittle more wispy then before as well she almost felt like a ghost of some sort with that thought in mind she pulls out her pocket card to check her job class and found she was now a Cheshire Cat Wraith 'Oh well that explains it' she thinks with a laugh before looking to the other side of the fountain where Diamond waited patiently after looking at the orb once more she nods then begins wadding around it and out of the fountain
Upon seeing the changes to her appearence Diamond looks at her curiously "Look Diamond im a Cheshire Cat Wraith!" Pumcat says excitedly as she walks out of the fountain Diamond cheers happily which causes Pumcat to start cheering as well finally once they calm down Pumcat smiles happily to Diamond "Ready to go explore the White Queen's Castle?" she asks him he nods and squeaks excitedly before climbing up her outstretched arm onto her should she smiles as she heads for the exit
She was stronger but she was still her

He hadn’t thought he was much for fighting, especially in a world where he didn’t have to. But as always, sitting idle felt far worse than any sort of battle and if he could get stronger, perhaps he could change things - perhaps he could make a difference. That was the ideal, the goal, as he stepped into the temple, boots clicking against its marble floors. It exuded a strange aura, powerful but calm, collected and without the madness that pervaded everywhere else. He looked around as he waded into the serene waters in front of him, taking in all the sights. The water was cool against his skin, against his clothes, but refreshing and not at all unpleasant as he headed towards the orb.
What was power like? Power he thought, would be the ability to choose, to be able to live one’s life without having to answer to anyone, without having to be crushed under someone’s thumb, and to allow it, just to survive. Power was being able to be happy, without a but, without needing the sadness that made it such a precious commodity in the first place. He didn’t want to rule over others or to repeat what others in power had done to him.
He wanted just to be, and to be happy.

It had been one long, drawn out journey, but she was finally here... And ready to start the next step of her journey.
After climbing up the stairs, iPink made her way into the water, slowly wading through it to the orb on the other side; it was frightening how real everything felt, even though it was just a dream. Just a game. Once they wake up, everything here will be gone, probably...
... The pumpkin sun was shining, and it was chillier than usual outside. Bundled up in a long woolen scarf and a thick coat, she made her way to the park, a picnic basket filled to the brim with food - all store bought, of course, since she would hate to serve anything that was overcooked or undercooked. As she neared the open field by the lake, she quickened her pace, lips splitting into a grin when she saw that her friends were already there, setting up picnic mats on the grass.
"Sorry! Am I late?" She asked, waving as she jogged the rest of the way; they were graduates. They had jobs and families and different responsibilities, but they had made it. She was powerful enough to do her part to ensure that everyone could get through school safe and sound and happy. No more fears, and no more broken hearts...
She reached out, and touched the orb.

Pinkie blinked when her Pocket Card suddenly went off. She followed the directions to a pretty temple on a floating island. She stepped onto it and took the staircase up, up, up into the temple where she could see an orb at the far end.
She couldn't seem to take her eyes off of the orb. She stepped into the water and didn't even care. There was something about this whole thing that made her think of power. What was power to her? She supposed having power meant being able to command others...but that wasn't the kind of power she wanted. She wanted the kind of power that could make her popular, the kind that would give her more friends than she'd ever dreamed of.
A slow smile spread across her lips as she thought about herself, surrounded by people who loved her and wanted to spend time with her. That was all she wanted. And suddenly, it was there.
She was in the middle of a huge group of people, and they all wanted a piece of her, five minutes with her. This was perfect! She would never, ever be alone with all these people, and she would never have to be afraid of everyone being too busy to spend time with her. There would always be someone else she could call.
But then it was gone, washed away as she came to the orb. She still smiled. It was a good dream, and maybe, just maybe, it could still be a reality...
Reaching forward, she splayed her fingers over the orb and gasped softly.

Shadow stepped inside, very far behind the rest of the crowd. He was at least proud to have made it here after figuring out why his pocket card was beeping so incessantly. When he discovered there were more stairs to climb, it almost seemed like all hope was lost.
Eventually he made his way up and up into temple and across the pool, seeing as he had no other option.
Shadow saw himself. Alone. With enormous shadows growing larger and larger around him until he encompassed the whole cave. Voodoo was there, but as a monstrous dragon, twisting and bending her shape to perform his every need. They were incredible. Unstoppable.
The vision faded. He was left touching the orb gently, with no idea how he got there. Either way, he exited the building and was left with newfound power, and more questions than ever.

Wiz almost stumbled inside of the temple, looking around to make sure no one was there to witness her folly before relaxing, her pocket card finally ceased beeping the moment she stepped foot into this place. She quickly climbed the stairs, going two at a time till she made it to the pool of water, taking it step by step.
Her vision was getting blurry and she thought she was about to pass out till she saw herself again for the second time.
She was standing in the middle of slain trees and cheshire cats, laughing maniacally as a huge jar full of glowig liquid was held in her hand.
She had wiped them all out, she was unstoppable!
and just like that, the vision faded and Wiz found her hand on some weird orb...

Xavier wailed a little at every twist and turn in the temple, but at least he was there - and for a few moments he almost forgot that he was useless, almost forgot that he was just some silly, stupid kid from a school named Amityville and that he had yet to actually accomplish anything in his whole entire miserable, pathetic, useless, ridiculous life.
Almost. At least until he remembered that he was just some silly, stupid kid from a school named Amityville and that he had yet to actually accomplish anything in his whole entire miserable, pathetic, useless, ridiculous life. The sweep of power that crept over him was unfamiliar and simultaneously terrifying, Xavier standing with crowds of people, throngs of people who only wanted him.
He felt wanted. He felt powerful.
But then it was gone, and he was alone again, like he always was, and like he always would be. He stood there, slightly shaken, and gripped the edges of his coat tightly so that it was pulled around him and he could sink down into it and pretend that he didn't exist anymore.
With a small sigh, he turned and left.

She left BlindSeer behind for the moment because her pocket card beeped insistently at her ever since she’d hit lvl 25. The blinked as she looked around at fresh surroundings and then down at the water. In the shallow ripples she saw the reflection of the Temple and the massive staircase leading up to it. She looked up and then slowly walked towards it since there was no other way. What she saw in the temple was beautiful, a paved fountain that led to an orb it looked so serene. Happily she stepped down into the water not minding the damp sensation that swirled around her legs through the fabric of her pants.
UT waded through the water but as she did she felt a bit more urgent, she needed to move towards the power…the room around her blurred and she walked into a strange scene.
~ She stood in the Err Family Mansion dressed in the latest couture gown HalloweenTown had to offer. Her husband was only a few paces away chatting with guests while she walked around the ballroom. She felt powerful but more importantly that power had given her confidence. She wasn’t afraid anymore, all those doubts and fears that had plagued her were shrunk down into nothingness. The party was being held not because she feared that others would compare her to her mother, but because it pleased her to have company. She basked in the knowledge that she had obtained what she desired and no one was going to take it from her.
She walked down the hall leaving the swirl of the party and to a hallway, at the end stood a beautiful marble form and draped on it was a Hunter’s jacket. Her fingers ran over the collar and the golden trim with pleasure. She was powerful because she had conquered her fear; she was powerful enough that they would never rip her from her friends and family. She would never be trapped and helpless ever again and pulsed with the confidence that knowledge gave her.
Turning she sauntered back into the ballroom her smile was a genuine one as she twined her fingers with her husbands and looked at him lovingly. He raised a brow as if silently questioning her departure. She kissed his cheek and brushed back a strand of his hair.
“Everything is perfect.”
Power had brought her perfection and freedom from the fears that plagued her. ~ She walked through the moment and blinked as she stepped up to the orb, slowly she reached out and touched it eager to feel the pulse of power.

After she completed her battle, her little pocket menu chirped at her. What was this? Taking it out, she noticed that a strange button had appeared. Perhaps battles triggered this? With a shrug, KnottedLips pressed the button and let herself be teleported to an absolutely majestic room.
Wow.
Something told she she needed to walk to the orb which was slowly drawing her in. Carefully, she took one step into the water, and then another, submerging both feet into the water. From the submersion, she felt a surge coming up her legs. It was a surge of confidence, a surge of the ability to keep herself strong, a surge of power.
Power, to her, was not the ability to storm through and just destroy everything. No, that was just being physically strong. Sometimes, it was even getting people to be physically strong for them. That was not true power.
No, true power came from the ones who were confident enough to just be themselves to the strongest degree, to not be at all afraid of what anyone would do, or say, or even make fun of. They were who they are and no one would shake them.
It was a confidence that KnottedLips envied. She didn't have that kind of confidence herself, too afraid of what people would think of her when people realized what she was, too afraid to lose any friend she gained to anyone else because clearly their friendship to her was weak, too afraid to not know everything about everyone because then she might lose relevance ... Fear made KnottedLips' existence. Every day, she was more afraid that something would go wrong than the next.
But right now, she felt what she wished she could feel every day. This was confidence. She no longer cared what everyone else thought. She was no longer dependent on everyone else. She no longer had to know everything about everyone else, because she was fine as her own self and she, herself, was interesting and worth the time and attention.
She was powerful.
As she touched the orb, she surged, her outfit changing and her abilities evolving.
She was a Wraith, now.

Soon entering this new place, it felt to serene to exist in this odd world she's in. But, coming upon a pool of sorts, she looked down upon it. Feeling the urge to walk in, which she does. "What is power... hmm..." She thought to herself. A question that had suddenly popped into her head. Closing one eyes she pondered the question, the word it self.
"Hmm... I suppose it would mean power of strength. Strength to protect one self and those i cherish and love" She spoke out loud to herself. As if to convince herself that, that what it would be to her. But thinking even more upon it, she wondered. What sort of power could it be that this question be referring too? Is it just for what one self believes it to be to them. Or something more...
No no... She shook her head. No, it has to be for protecting one self and loved ones. That is what she will use this power for, if she had it. Soon after, she opened her eyes and saw that she somehow ended up in front of a glowing orb. Glowing brightly, she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
It glowed and sparkled, giving a flash of light, that nearly blinded her. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. Soon looking to her claws!? As she examine them, soon looking down into the pool of water to see her reflection. Her clothes seem different, tail a bit longer. "Hmm..." New power seemed to coarse through her.
"Is this what it meant... The question which popped into my head..." She turned back to the orb, only to see it was replaced by three ability cards. Walking up closer to them, she read them carefully and thought to herself. "Which would be a good choice..."
"I suppose, these two would suit me more" Taking in hand the two new ability cards, and walked out of the place. Which seemed to also disappear, she looked around and surged. And, walked on on her way
