She makes quick work of all the monsters on her way up to floor 79. 'I am disappointed. I thought a servant rank nine would be way stronger than what has been shown. That leaves only warrior rank 1 left but these stairs don't have one of that strength.'
Stepping onto the 80th stair she wonders how tall the staircase is. As she progresses through the staircase she can feel herself get more sluggish. But not in the same way as on the gravity steps, or on the steps that took away her strength and senses. Not sure why she is feeling some sort of pressure she continues to climb up the stairs.
Reaching the next step she starts to have doubts about why she is doing so. Frowning she slaps herself. 'This isn't me, I don't doubt the choice that I have made. I can't give up here. This is an effect of this set of stairs.'
On the next step the thoughts get more and more prevalent. Constantly slapping herself she continues onward with the steps. On the 85th step she collapses to her knees. On the ground she closes her eyes and images flash through her mind. Some of grandeur with her at the top looking down upon an army. While others are her standing over her sibling as they lay dead in pools of blood.
With tears welling up, she contemplates, on whether she should be there or what if she is doing is the right path forward. As more images flash through her mind one of her able to just battling away is interrupted by a noise she is barely able to hear. Shaking her head she ignores the noise and continues to watch the images flash pass her.
After some time she hears more noise from outside, opening her eyes she, sees that those are just in her mind. 'Damn so are these soul based or mental based attacks on me. I shouldn't continue till i figure out a way to defend myself from those things. I can lose myself, which is what just about happened.'
Getting up she starts to pace back and forth to try and come up with a solution. Not sure where to begin she looks up at the sky and sighs.
Back at her house as she is taking this trail, Electra looks around and asks, "Where is Amber? She isn't ever late. This is unusual for her."
Garth shows them the letter, "In this Amber said, 'I have joined an organization and started one of their special programs. I won't be back for a day.' So she is ok as far as I know."
Freyja looks over at Nyx and asks, "So are you able to say who your master is? If not just ask him to contact Lyracula from Rêves musicaux."
Looking at him Electra asks, "Why would you ask her such a thing?"
Vayu laughs, "For she has probably joined an organization like him and Amber have. And with how she is there is only one type of organization I can think of."
Garth shakes his head and looks out the window, 'So they are already finding paths for themselves to walk down. With her elemental affinity it wouldn't be illogical to think she joined the Aemeires Brotherhood. Well at least she has someone to teach her how to effectively use the shadows in several ways.'
"I will talk to him about it. So Vayu how was your day?"
He looks at them and just calmly explains the day he has. Garth looks and explains to them, that diviners that are born to do so are cursed by the heavens to see several different possibilities for the future. That they normally act according to the ones they would prefer to happen. Part of the curse is that they have to speak in riddles when trying to talk about the future.
When asked why he explains it is because of how the heavens view that kind of information. The heavens grant the ability to certain individuals as too help and guide the world onto a better path. However the heavens don't want people to be fixated so far on what the future details that they forget to think about how to help themselves in the current time frame. Further explaining that even though they can share information there is only so much they are allowed to share with others in one day completely.
Even though they can't share as much as they would like, they try to steer things to the path they most like. Some of them try to go against the visions, yet for the most part the path they take to avoid such a fate, leads them to it.
Nyx asks simply, "Who is this drake clan? They seem important."
Garth sighs, "A group that they weakest members will tame drakes while the strongest tame criminal dragons. That will brinh about the downfall of the Remailas Church. Now there is more information. The founders have been born. While some are suffering from attacks or ailments," he looks down and with a whisper says, "Most likely your grandpa and parents."
Vayu looks over at Garth, "What do you mean our parents?"
"Not now. Amber needs to be told at the same time. Search up what a spirit core is. Your father and grandfather had multiple of those. The Remailas church still manages to keep them away from you all. Well your grandfather is probably captured by the same family who kicked him out."
"Why haven't you told us what's happened to our parents?" Nyx flicks something at Garth.
"With how Amber and Electra are, why would I? You all are way to weak to help them in any meaningful way. You know the guards around the town, that is the level of strength of the priests of the Remailas church, let alone bishops or even the archbishops and deacons."
Looking at each other they nod and get back to training. With a new goal in mind to meet their parents they work harder then before.
