When he reached the top of the stairs, he spotted a familiar figure seated upon the steps and breathed a sigh of relief. Tomoko! So he couldn't call her name, nor could she hear it, but at least she was safe. And as he glanced up at the door before them, at least they had found each other here before they both went blind.
Found wasn't the best way to put it. No... She had waited for him here, hadn't she? He squatted down besides her, patting her gently on the head. I'm sorry. He mouthed.
Erebus remembered his stair companion and glanced back briefly, hoping the Silver boy would catch up soon. There was truth beyond the next door. He was sure of it. And everyone deserved to know the truth, no matter how painful it was.Quote: Name: Erebus Current HP remaining: 50 Character description: Cerberus demon.

He suddenly felt tired, AJ asked Erebus to go first. He took a short rest before he continued. So many stairs. So many. Within the absolute silence, there was the Voice again. It sounded so irrated but tired. Disappointment? If there wasn't any hope, how comes I will be disappointed. You wish for the True King and I wish for the Only Truth, behind all my sufferings. That's it. As simple as that.No way he could stop now, after going so far already.

No way he would stop here though he started to feel tired. Even if he had to creep, he will only stop until he reached the top, where all the truth lies.

Almost there. Almost there. AJ encouraged himself to keep on climbing. In the silence without anyone, he began to think of his loved one, especially Ofelia again. Are they safe? Are they climbing stairs and looking for the truth like him? Are they fake memories or a fragment of memory like him? When he was alone, he thought different things and asked different questions. Questions without answers. He had to continue, in the hope that he would reunion with those he cared before he say goodbye to this world. Thoughts.

He could see the door to the next level, just a few more steps! Curse you, Voice! Why you stay in a tower with so many stairs? If it was a challenge, I would totally accept it! Have yourself ready, you're going to be Ofelia's new punchbag! Be prepared!AJ had accumulated so many grievances over the Voice, for it annoying him all the way when he was climbing the stairs, for making his friends suffered, for pretending it didn't do anything wrong. He was panting, even a highly trained soldier couldn't not gasping for air after walking so many steps. If he was right, there were 300 of them!

Finishing the last step, AJ could see Erebus was waiting there, in front of a door. He waved to the boy happily with an embarrassed smile meaning sorry for the waiting. That's it. The Voice was behind the door, same for the truth. Would Ofelia and his friends be there? What is awaiting for him?His palms started to sweat, he was excited, thrilled and a bit scared. What kind of truth is waiting?He was too hesitated to make the step, just one step and he would know the truth, yet, it might be too heavy to accept. AJ felt so scared for the first time in his life, his heart was pouncing. He seemed to hear his hasty heart beat in the silence. He looked at Erebus.

She'd stopped at the writing on the door, looking as disinterested as always but feeling quite weary at this point. Ah. So it wouldn't be all that easy, after all. But this certainly wasn't the huge drawback that she'd feared; if no-one in here could hear, what was the point in speaking, anyhow? Unless of course there was an obstacle requiring speech to be overcame, in which case they'd probably all be screwed. But she'd never know if she didn't keep moving onwards - and why stop now, anyhow? There was nothing for her outside this Tower, nothing for her anywhere in the land of make-believe. So onwards she went. Quote: Entering Name Davyne HP 50/50 Kingdom Silver Appearance Simplified version of this outfit. Steps 143/300

"Remember your Kingdom, and why you were created into this world. Without it you will be lost. Without it you will become discarded and thrown away. You are a fragment that I created. Without me, you will cease to exist in this world."Davyne felt the faint urge to laugh hysterically. Because that tactic had gone so well, hadn't it? Her Kingdom was gone - nevermind this whole world being some sort of parody - and trying to keep to it had gotten her killed. For nothing, no reason; just dead, all of a sudden. Without the white pillar, she'd really have been gone, a thought forgotten: there was no Kingdom for her to remember, for her to fight for - all that was left was this Tower and the downfall of the Voice. A little bit of revenge, all her own, if only she could manage to do something to contribute to its end, somehow. It'd certainly take more than words to stop her now.

She had occasionally passed by others on her way up the Tower, but she'd not bothered to try communicating - she'd give them a nod in the passing, and no more. There'd been no reason to waste time trying to talk, when hearing was gone; she certainly didn't have the patience for spelling out a conversation with some stranger, and surely they were all of the same goal, anyhow, so there was no reason to waste time with semantics. Still, she kept her eyes open for her former companion, just in case. Although it was harder now that she actually had to concentrate on climbing the steps; the danger of falling was much more pronounced now, and the drop looked perilous at best. Fatal at worst.

Still, keeping her eyes open for hidden perils on the staircase kept her aware of her surroundings and out of too deep a reverie. It wouldn't do to get lost in thoughts now, when she was so close (well - closer, at least) to her last purpose.

"I create this world, and thus I can give you anything. Reflect on your choices now, and remember that I even have the power to make you become the greatest Kings. I could rebuild this world around you. Everything will could be yours."For the first time, Davyne was slightly tempted to give up on her quest to see the Tower to the end. But... the Voice had done no good for her. It had given her a Kingdom to live in, only to take it away again when it pleased itself; wouldn't this just be more of the same? She had no great desire to be a King, let alone a great one - but a simple existence, living as she had, a weaver in a peaceful Kingdom, well... that was a seductive prospect. And what would the harm in that be when it came down to it? She would ask to let everyone live as they had, and surely things could go back to they way they once were. Only, only - they couldn't go back, not now, not when she knew what she was and what she wasn't. When she knew how little it all meant, how incomplete they all were. How the Voice had created them and twisted them to suit its whims, what poor reflections of a truer, more complete person they all were. Giving in now wasn't an option. Not truly.

Unfortunately she didn't make it very far before she had to stop for a breather. These stairs were just downright insane. Sigrún took the next step slowly and carefully her legs burning with each torturous step.
