"Ugh!" She cried when the figure cut at her arm with their blade.

On this, his fourth descent, Amity hesitated before stepping gingerly, with fear, into the fog.
They were coming. He knew that, in his heart, with a sort of sick joy - they were coming, and he was the cause of it. Those he had sworn oaths to would die. He had betrayed them, and yet he could not find it in him to be sorrowful. Guilt was gone. There was nothing but emptiness where remorse should be. All that remained was that terrible, trembling joy...
This feeling, this one, Amity could identify with.
It buoyed him up, hopeful. If that was the feeling of blasphemy, of destroying one's protectors, it only served to reinforce his decision that he was doing the right thing. He clung to it.
He lowered his hands to his pistols, and he moved through the fog.

Just as he had once before, Amity watched the figure materialize and wondered whether he looked to it as it looked to him: formless and without identity.
But the figure, again, had an expression that mirrored his own, and he had an instant of misgiving: who, then had that one betrayed?
He was too slow.

And once you'd lost the edge, you tended to stay that way.
He fumbled backwards, trying to get some distance, drawing his guns and staying wary.

He didn't want to do anything in the Goddess' names.
Maybe winning counted. Maybe he was doing all this for them despite himself.
It wasn't the first time he'd had the thought.

But he couldn't think that way. All he had was the memories he made. That was his mantra. All he had was the memories he made, and he was making them most strongly, most carefully, in the moments like these.
He rallied, and managed to land a glancing shot.

That felt better. He tried to remember the one who grinned. He tried to tell himself that this opponent was like that. That he was doing it a favor.
It felt hollow.

This was his. These were his memories, this was his act of rebellion. The bullets landed with dull thuds in what should have been mere fog.
Betrayal was a heady drug.

And Amity, although he did not know why, felt invigorated by the comparison.
So maybe this was some sort of high, blasphemy. He'd take it.
Another solid hit. He barely felt the retaliating blows.

A little at a time, if that was all he could manage. He advanced steadily along the platform, the attacking figure forced back, and he dispensed with squeezing the trigger, swinging the pistol like a club.

He'd closed the gap. He felt some blade sink into his ribs, and it seemed very distant.
"I'm doing this for me," he informed the attacker. "Not them."
And he lifted the gun point-blank to its head, and squeezed the trigger.
The fog, again, was just fog, and the thing dissipated without a sound, without a sigh.
Amity stood in the mist and wondered if every bit of fog that the World's End swam in was the ghost of some fallen fighter.
He looked out over the endless grey.

He knew what would happen because it had happened every time so far, and so he was steeled and ready when he stepped down to continue his descent and the cold hands grabbed his ankles. But even being prepared wasn't enough to remove completely the dull terror of the moment, and he paused to recover.
"I'm doing this for me," he repeated to himself. "Not for them."

He descended carefully, slowly, waiting for the inevitable moment when the stairs would give way.
They did, finally, after an interminable climb downward through the fog. It still hurt. It still violated every animal instinct to simply fall prey to gravity; it still knocked the wind out of his lungs even though he knew he'd find himself settling gently and unhurt on the ground below.
As he did.
There was only one blessing left.
"I am taking this for me," he said, with the gut-wrenching, brave joy of betrayal still strong in his heart.

Ruse took the pathway down to the inner workings of the spire, Being careful to place her feet on stable ground before moving onwards. She had not gone far when she was smothered with fog, her mind falling-
And then she screamed. She screamed, for everyone she knew and loved were dead. She could hear the last few in their last seconds of life, and this pain tore through her as did the scream that reverberated through her entire being. Why was she spared? Take her, take her! she could not go on, for everyone she knew and loved was gone.
