As Nadeline would ask what exactly the loud boom was and said that it definitely didn’t sound good, the group released sounds that would suggest agreement with Nadeline, each doing sounds fitting their personality. Whatever the boom was, it sounded like it was just a mere few floors away, but what exactly it could be was on everyone’s mind. Clyde was especially worried about it. [b]“Whatever it is, we need to keep moving on just so we can get to the bottom of it.” [/b]Wesley would state. Everyone just nodded and so they were off, moving through the various turns, killing some monsters along the way. That was one thing about The Pharos: each floor had their own challenges that included various types of monsters. No matter how many they killed, each floor they progressed up would present entirely different monsters. Even when they reached the 60th floor, these monsters were different each time, even some that were dangerous Wyrms, especially those kinds. Wesley didn’t know whether the group should fight them all or avoid as many of them as they could. They were on the 65th floor and that was when they heard yet another boom and it was so much louder than before. The sound actually cause ripples through the air, causing minor discomfort in the ears of the group. Of course, they would grip their ears in response to that, but it was only about three seconds. [b]“God damn it!”[/b] Clyde yelled out in the annoyance of the booms. “What is happening here?”[/b] Wesley had removed his hands from his ears.[b] “I really don’t know, but it seems that the more we ascend, the louder the booms get. “ [/b]Wesley said. [b]“Thank you for pointing out the obvious.”[/b] Savayna retorted. Ignoring Savayna, Wesley spoke once more. [b]“I was going to say that we’re really close and I don’t think we have many more floors to go.”[/b] ----- While they were walking down the streets, Jaakuna would feel that Emiri’s grip of his hand got tighter and she would lock in her fingers with his. He just smiled at that. It was like before even though it really wasn’t. Jaakuna would just appreciate that something in her still remembered the feeling of how they were before her mind was wiped of all memory. Emiri would then respond to Jaakuna and state that while Stigma seemed familiar, she didn’t know from where yet. She said that she felt like that she came to Stigma a long time ago, but it wasn’t clicking in her mind. Jaakuna smiled. [b]“This was where you were born, Emiri.”[/b] Jaakuna said, telling her that Stigma was where she was conceived. As she most likely felt some type of way from that little information, they would turn a corner and head down a street that was called Main Way. They would walk all the way down and would enter what Jaakuna remembered Emiri refer to it as the Slums of Stigma. It was full of old houses long since abandoned from the citizens in favor of the more newer, upscale homes. Jaakuna stopped in front of a house with grass growing almost three feet high and mold on the outer walls. Jaakuna looked at Emiri and smiled. [b]“Come with me. We’re going to jog that old noggin of yours.”[/b] Jaakuna cheerfully said, laughing slightly. ------ As Shion gave the orders, Michel would walk right on over to Meli, as he gave her a look. [b]“On a mission yet again it seems.”[/b]He looked at her seductively, but would also be fully-aware of what Shion would say. [b]“Yes boss!”[/b] Michel would say rather enthusiastically, as he would wait for Meli to do her shadow magick. ----- Eventually, Wesley and the others came to the 70th floor and as they came to a clearing, which seemed to be of an oval shaped with walls of stone surrounding it, and only one door at the other end. Wesley imagined that there would people here, as the boom was going on and on and on and on. It was by that had happened the group were gripping their ears as tight as they could. Screams of agony were released from their mouths, getting louder as time went on. As they went on, they couldn’t help but notice mild laughter coming in. Wesley and Savayna couldn’t help but look and it was coming from Clyde. It started as mild laughter, but as the minutes would go on, it escalated into louder laughter. Eventually, it got so loud it bordered psychotic. Wesley was confused and completely out of the loop. Why exactly was his Uncle Clyde laughing? And even stranger, the loud noise was gone. [b]“Uncle Clyde, you alright..?”[/b] Wesley would ask as he would then hear something he didn’t think he would. Clyde’s laughter soon became distorted, warped, and above all else, feminine. [b]“Wait a minute..”[/b] Wesley said raising his eyebrow.. [b]”No, it couldn’t be..”[/b] He said as before he could finish off, it was revealed. Clyde’s laugh was now that of a female, and his skin would soon shed like a snake, his body soon plopping to the ground hard. Soon it would be revealed to the group that Wesley, Savayna, and Nadeline all knew too well. [b]“Oh my, I guess I couldn’t last, now could I?”[/b]A female voice said and [b]“Levi!” [/b]Savayna snarled Wesley was more shocked than angry. Of course he was angry, but he just didn’t expect his uncle to be Levi. [b]“Clyde..I mean Levi, how did you? When did you? Why did you?”[/b] Wesley was finding it to complete his sentences.[b] “Where is my Uncle Clyde?”[/b] Levi smirked and laughed. [b]“Oh, that poor guy? He died days ago. Actually, it was when you three got Grant out of prison and saved The Scion of Time.”[/b] Levi would reveal. [b]“I knew that his body would come in handy, so I covered myself in it.”[/b] Levi said laughing. [b]“Oh speaking of which, a lot has happened. That poor dear, she never knew what hit her and poor Jaakuna. He was so lost. To think, he actually went with The Cleansing and almost completed it too.”[/b] Levi was just speaking out loud and just sounded so arrogant. Wesley couldn’t believe it. His uncle…dead! Clyde was so strong. There was no way he could have lost to this bitch. [b]“There’s no way! My Uncle Clyde might have been one of the most shallow people I knew, but there was no way he could lose to you.”[/b] Wesley was in complete denial.
