Night 71: Secret Stairs

[ninelivesonce]

[from here]

The stairs looked the same as they had before -- the light flickered as Taura peered up them, searing her sensitive eyes and then leaving them light-blinded in turns. "Let's hope they're right about what's up here."

It would be the perfect place for an ambush, after all -- a single chokepoint, and them rushing towards it like fools, but she did it anyways, beginning the climb up the stairs.

So it was like that. Sora could understand where Tsurugi was coming from. Why bring it up to Kratos when it was already a tough subject for him, if all he had to say was that he was trying to help? Better to just come forward with the gem once they found it.

Sora didn't know how easy it was going to be, though. When the institute took something from them, it was pretty much guaranteed that they wouldn't be able to get it back. Then again, with the third floor now accessible, maybe there was a chance that they actually could find Kratos' gem.

"Works for me," he said after a pause. He wanted to ask what the logistics of it were, because he'd never heard of someone turning into a monster because some gem got removed from their body. They should probably focus on moving forward, though, and so he went forward to open the door...

And never saw what was on the other side.
