Even though she had been prepared for them, the Harpy took her by surprise, knocking her aside with a massive wing.

This time, they wouldn't be so lucky. Marati gave a frustrated cry as she righted herself, gripping her sword and slicing it at the wing that had so wronged her.

The Harpy responded by smacking her in the back of the head with a claw.

Then, when the harpy circled to attack again, it found Despair's Razor already swinging at it, slicing cleanly across his neck. It dropped and the others fled, leaving her alone at the top of the cliffs.
She rested here for a moment, and then claimed her prize. There was nothing more left for her here.

To be honest, he looked with dim fear to the moment that he would no longer need to do this. To say goodbye to the Forge would be welcome, but the rest of these places--what, then, would he do to fill up his idle time? Shambling around from fight to fight like one of the monsters themselves?
He had to stay busy. He wasn't sure why, but he knew that it was dangerous for someone like him to have nothing to do.
He started the slow climb up the path, and it went less smoothly this time than last--maybe he was subconsciously sabotaging his own efforts.

There was nothing for it, though. He not only couldn't prolong it, he didn't really want to. He had to fill himself up. He had to remember. When he remembered he could quit, satiated, and lie down and return to the quiet.
That's what he'd been telling himself. There is the stir of fear, now, that the hunger will never be satiated. That the hunger is part of him, and always had been, and it was only in his ignorance of himself and the world that he'd thought it was a small and temporary thing.
He found himself at the top of the ascent, staring out over the yawning gap.

He didn't know what he wanted any more. His goals were shifting rapidly. First he'd wanted to go back to the void. Honestly, that was still there. Then he'd wanted to trust and have faith, even as a niggling voice told him that he couldn't, that faith in the Goddess was a foolish and shameful thing. Then there'd been the incident in Rico's, and it had flipped over again and faith was never an option any more.
So next--he mapped his shifting mindset to the steps of the bridge--he'd decided to go rogue, to rebel, and to start laying down his own memories. This was the point at which he had realized that he could not simply make the hunger go away--it was a hunger that required feeding, and Amity was doing his best to feed it. He'd thought--still thought, a little--that maybe new memories would feed it as well as old ones might. So began the slow memorization of everything around him, and the careful pursuit of goals. Things to stay busy.
But instead, every step he took to gain more of himself to pour into the cavernous belly of curiosity had raised up more questions, and now here he was, with great tumultuous masses of memory shifting around on the edges of his consciousness and threatening to break free, and yet the gnawing need to know would not. shut. up.
It felt like something else living in his head. It felt like part of him that wasn't him. It was the first "blessing" he'd been given and it was overruling him at every turn.
So maybe he had to know everything. And that was a frightening and powerful and exhilarating thought. He had looked in the eyes of the Goddess and he'd seen madness instead of evil, but Amity was sane.
Amity told himself he was sane as he picked his way along the crumbling bridge towards an inevitable terrifying fight, to collect a prize he didn't understand on his way to a goal that he couldn't articulate, while sorting out his directly-contradicting emotions. Nothing about this seemed wrong to him.

The unsteady bridge behind him, Amity squared his shoulders and drew his guns and waited for the inevitable onslaught. When it came, he fired.

It really was the noise that was the worst part. He could have handled almost anything but the noise.
Can I call you later? I promise. I've got a headache like you would not believe.
His own voice, talking to someone he didn't know in a time he wasn't acquainted with, as he tried to focus on the fight.

Something about the fog made the fight seem... natural. He hadn't fought much. Hadn't fought ever. Except in the fog.
He didn't know how he knew that, but he did.

And then what? he couldn't help but think. Not worth dwelling on.

A final, more self-assured volley. There had been no clumsy fumbling this time, no hateful near-falls or shots gone wide. Either Amity was getting more comfortable with the heartless dispatch of anything that would hurt him--a possibility, to be sure--or he was getting lucky.
Amity didn't think he usually had much in the way of luck.
He stood for a moment recovering in the live-seeming fog, and reached to take the last of the blessings before he began his descent.

Acerola was drawn by the sight at the top of the cliffs. She wanted to reach the top, but she knew what she had to face. Remembering all the times she had made the trip, she began climbing. She was not surprised, although she was annoyed, when a rock hit her.

After getting hit the last time, Acerola began climbing up again. This time, she made it.
