As we faced a long staircase of polished glass and glowing runes leading upstairs, a voice whispered from the skies themselves. For a single clear moment I heard both Lolth and her sister Htlol speaking in unison, their tones overlapping yet distinct.
"Sylph, this entire area has already been calculated to possess three floors. You're on Floor 1 as of now. By climbing the staircase and enduring the divine pressure that grows heavier with each step, you can reach Floor 2 and then Floor 3."
"I see that!" I answered while already turning to face the divine beasts charging toward us. "What about these things? Will they ever stop attacking us?!"
"I'm afraid I cannot stop them," Htlol replied with a hint of genuine regret.
"They're here to kill you! So just die!" Lolth sharper, more mocking voice cut in immediately after.
"Enough with that," Htlol said firmly. "Good luck, Sylph. I am sure you can use this place to grow stronger alongside your family."
