A new door, and a new etching. The doppelganger actually paid attention to it this time, biting her jaw at the added sacrifice. She had to give up her ability to speak.
Well... no one would have heard her in the first place, right? Assuming that these sacrifices stayed that way - on the metaphorical altar. So...she supposed it didn't actually matter in the long run.

Even if she couldn't talk, she started to recite their speech in her head, pretending each step that Justice added his line.
To raze the kingdoms with devastation.
Because that was their original goal, wasn't it? To be victorious, so that their King could be crowned the True King. In their minds, he had always deserved it. On the battlefield, what little of him she'd seen proved that true.
To conquer all of the remaining nations.
What nations were left to conquer? What was there worth conquering in this place? If there was something Amarus wanted to conquer it was the Voice, this tower, her own fears.
But she'd be okay. She would.
On the 150th stair, the Voice threatened her again. She took a leaf from her partner's book and, more subtly than he had, flipped the Voice off under her long sleeve, gritting her teeth.
What was this place trying to do to them?! Fini cursed loudly... or tried to. And discovered that not only couldn't she hear anything. But now she couldn't friggin talk?! Her fist connected with the wall next to her as she started up the next portion of stairs. Ohgodthathurt! Well, apparently she still had her sense of feeling.
And she wasn't quite so... alone. Really. Though the strange shadowy things she passed by were not as comforting as she would have liked.

For only a moment, Olivia finally managed to see the look upon Molan's face and the tears in his own eyes before he continued to walk up the steps; like the walking dead or a crazed man. The small girl wanted to voice a concern until she realized she couldn't make one.
She wanted to look to Kashi. But he was already going up as well. (obviously her ambushed hug was missed somewhere). They were leaving her again, not even looking back to watch for her like they had when they first went up. The worry came back, ten fold and she ran after them.
Alexander slowed as Yin came up beside him, giving the boil a questioning look in return, not having really expected a moment like this to even occur. It gave him a chance to see the other boil up close, to trace the lines and angles of his body with his eyes, quite deliberately looking him up, and down, and back up again before raising his eyebrows and shrugging.
Still smiling.
He really didn't know what to say to the question. He couldn't very well explain to Yin who he really was. So instead he reached out, a cool hand brushing against the much warmer one of the weremantis's, finger's splayed, an offering.
He wasn't going to stay there and offer to help drag the other boil up the stairs however though. He didn't want to embarrass himself, after all! Whether or not the other boil even understood what he wanted, and whether or not he responded, the dhampire who should have been a zombie continued, his pace picking up once more.

Kashi kept on moving. Kept on walking up more and more steps. These stairs, why did it have to be so many!?
He could hear voices again. Lost and disgarded? Who cares!? Because of this world, he'd loose the only thing he'd love. He couldn't... wouldn't bare it.
As tempting as the offer was - sorely tempting at that, it still rang hollow to him.
I am already a King, he cackled in his head. Amarus is my Queen, and she is all I will ever need, Voice, so you cannot give me what I already have.
He ruled a Kingdom - he called it love.
And so he climbed...

To denounce the evil of truth and love.
Amarus smiled to herself, thinking of this line in her head. The one she'd said they would have to change. Well, they would, after all... If she loved someone, why would she denounce it?
It had never been a problem before. Fighting for revenge was her only aim, and naturally when they had met it was more an arrangement of skill and battle prowess.
To extend our reach to the stars above.
By the point she must have fallen in love, he knew her moveset as well as she did, and vice versa. With his chain, and her meteor hammer, they were a deadly team.

Why he'd been brought...? The voice chimed into his head, seeming to have more to say. His kingdom? His broken... lost... ravaged lands? He had no purpose. It had died on that field, did it not? Why... why did it speak of things that no longer mattered.
It is more false than I, that is why. Ah, that seemed to sooth his mind a bit, so easily acceptable. He, the most false, and this thing. A small smile appeared on his face as he continued to trudge up toward the heavens.
Right. It was fine. It didn't matter. He didn't matter... he...
You're long since done. Yes, he just wanted a rest.
It was around that time that he noticed there seemed to be something walking with him, casually, as if it didn't care. A mirror image of himself? Something only he could see, but still... a smirk appeared on it's face as it looked at him. Oh... you noticed?
Oh, it wasn't just a voice. Right. He was just... talking to himself. It seemed somehow normal.

Thank all the stars in the sky no one could hear her let alone that she couldn't speak! Because the shriek that would have escaped her would have been a helluva embarrassing! It still made her cheeks bright red just for the fact she did shriek. Silently.
She almost barely missed that the Voice sounded... different. Strange. Mention of her kingdom did give the woman pause in her steps. Her kingdom? Now she really scowled. How kind of the Voice to not only remind her of Pride, but that she was nothing but a mere fragment.
And thus the stomping started again as she made her way further.

'Keep moving. Keep moving!' He willed himself. 'For Molan. You can't fade away together if you're not both together.'

Expressing her distress that way had probably not been the best of ideas; it had slowed her down a little, and chipped away at what stamina she had left.
Judgement!
She smiled again, and pressed on. If she was there to pass Judgement on the Voice, along with all the others climbing the tower, then Justice would be there to finish what they had begun.
Justice.
Judgement without Justice led to inaction, and Justice without Judgement... what was there to temper the sheer action itself? They needed to work in tandem, for there to be balance.

He... wasn't sure how he felt suddenly. The thing seemed as if he was more true than he, who stumbled along, aiming ever higher.
You try to hard for nothing. That's why you fail.
Right... if he just had more of an aim. Oh, let me reword that. You will always be what you truly are. A knowing grin as he himself finished it. A failure? Yes, perhaps. All he knew how to do was be protected. He couldn't comfort anyone properly. He'd let Olivia just cry, Kashi had needed to push him to the tower initially. Of course...
It's fine. I can fix that. I don't need them. So neither will you.
Anyone who had looked at the man would have seen him staring at nothing, seeming to try and follow an invisible figure up the stairs. Something slightly ahead of him. Ever up. Ever to his doom.
