The room was dark at first, then like the sun had risen, a golden ray would light the world for them. The source of the light came from a balcony behind the tall Granite throne at the end of the room. The light would glaze of showing resplendent and insurmountable piles of gold, treasure and the likes. The vast sea of chests, necklaces, gilded swords or fancy goblet lines the halls of the obsidian throne room.
The room felt moderate, finally a place where things actually felt comfortable. As they came to and began to start moving the room began to light itself. Candles on chest-high pedestals would begin to illuminate with blue flames. Music filled the air now, powerful music inviting them in after their hard journey.
A voice would boom out to them, coming from the light far ahead. "Those who wish to claim my power, or wish to claim the powers of my dungeon, of this magic then venture forth, collect your gold, collect your treasures if you wish. Those simply wanting the gold, look for what you wish, and wait before my throne."
With each stride they would see Asura's start to form on the sidelines, they would see grey people, they would see faces that were familiar, a young adult woman, and a man with hair hiding his face. They would see some of the corpses from the other rooms, now grey, and smiling. All around they danced to the music, laughed and talked ignoring the dungeon participants.
The party invited them all further into the room. It would invite questions this odd spectacle, everything that had been going on up until this point. Before any questions would be answered, before they would meet the djinn, the voice, his voice spoke to them each.
First, he spoke directly to Noir and Ani, his voice was very stern and commanding, he had strong words for each, but mostly praises. "You've done well in the challenges so far, you both showed in the beginning that you were willing to give up some of your energy, your own power to lessen the pain of individuals already dead, it gave no benefit to you that you knew off, yet you gave them that kindness. You both showed such intense passion in pushing forth, even in the cold despair you chose to help your allies, to offer that warmth and kindness, to sacrifice for others. In fact, most of you here did well in that regard.
He would pause for a moment, his voice getting a bit harsher for a second as he aimed his voice at Ani. "While I commend your effort, the one thing I need to ask you is why for the love of the Rukh would you bring your infant child into the dungeon. How old is he even? I know your species ages fast, does he have n relatives, no tribe to care, you exemplify some great traits, however, I think they outshine your parenting skills"
He would then commend speak to Noir "It was very kind of you to heal my dragon, he's a raging beast but he's only protecting the gate. He greatly appreciates it, It's bold for another King Candidate to stride through a dungeon but I guess you're not the only one. Tell my why though, why do it all, why help him, he would readily attack again?
His voice would speak to each off the others, all at once, yet not colliding with himself to interrupt their talks.
His voice was intrigued, and almost warm towards Zub, the stern tone stayed along with it's commanding power though. "You've done well, you've clearly shown to me that you're kind. You are willing to sacrifice, I can't help but see where you might succeed. But that's where I get confused, what is it you're aiming for, I can't sense much from your desire, your will. It seems shrouded in the dark, but it seems so kind to me, what is it you aspire for, from here, or from yourself?
He spoke sternly but fairly with the magician who radiated with powerful dark rukh. "I won't deny your right to claim, you hold a powerful conviction which I respect. It seems that you're not completely cold-hearted, just warped, you seem liked you sacrifice even yourself for the sake of whatever you're trying to achieve, who are you mage, can your dark heart really do better than those who offer their kindness?"
"You are true to yourself I give you that boy, but I can't help but question every single thing you do. I rescpect your actions, I'm not even sure if I can question you though, your paths are vague, your convictions I seem unsure of, so what is to you all, does the weight of the things here even affect you?" he said firmly to the vibrant Sesshomaru.
As his words came out they knew they would need to head towards the balcony. It was better to walk, to take in the room but nothing stopped them from doing as they pleased, from exploring, they were free to move at their discretion as the souls danced.
