"Leviathan?" Judal asks, taking a half step back.  "Doesn't exactly sound all that welcoming, does it?"

     "Horrors beyond imagine... Right.  Wh... Why are we going there?" Judal asks, trying to stay jovial despite his obvious reluctance to blindly step into a new hell.  Judal then turns to Malenia and wallks over to her.  "Your call.  I've followed you this far I guess I won't stop now..."

Hand now empty, Thea holds it to herself. One of the only ones left, she’d have to close her eyes to look to no one. She’d have to take this leap of faith by herself. With a brave breath, in she steps. And alone she falls through the world, into one of anti-light. Darkness unknown. At least to her.

Her visage was that of a statue, Unmoving and undaunting as the Three young women opened this doorway. Beneath the frigid exterior of her helm, Malenia was more curious than cautious. Her covered gaze looking to Judal as her companion asked for her judgement. Taking a breath and tugging on the Reins of Kazu, she strides towards the Doorway. "This is the Way." Simple, consise. Princess Zelda thought that this Violet individual may be the Answer, Malenia was in no place to argue. 

Stepping through, Her gaze immediatelly falling onto the surroundings, Watching for potential threats to the Princess. The constant whir of the mechanism within her prosthetic, Ready to eject her weapons in a moments notice. 

"What fresh hell is this......" Immediate regret clouding her masked face.

Rum surveys the walkways and as Porkins circles he sees the walls they are the top of seemingly go on forever, with doors and windows worked into them.

"This place is truly unique. Where do the doors and windows on the walls below us lead? And where do we need to go, Remnant Violet? I assume this is not our final destination, just the path to get there", he asks, still staying close to the party. 

Greko still cautioulsy looking around says quietly to te group (If Greko had hair they would be standing up on the back of his neck)...."Ehh now that we are all here, perhaps a little explanation as to what we are doing, yes?"

"There are many doorways," Violet says, looking out across the hellish dimension. "I'm sure the Princess will tell us where she wants us to go from here..."

     "This is the way," Judal repeats and follows after Malenia - Not entirely enthused but willing to see what comes next...

Rum is surprised that it is the Princess that will be setting their path in this strange place and not Violet, but does his best to hide that fact.

"We should decide soon on our path, there are sounds of beings not far away. The sounds are unlike any I have heard before", he relays to the others.

Greko does not hide his thoughts as well as Rum....probably because he is a well respected elder "The princess has brought us here? What deception is this?"

"I'm thinking no deception is invoked here, Greko-sama. I trust in the Princess.  This is perhaps the next leg on our journey to right the wrongs of this world, and bring balance back to this world." Lady Kaede forthrightly adds.

"These sounds you're hearing, Master Rum...what do they sound like? An army marching on their way here, perhaps? Or are they something more benign?"

"Merely sounds of life I believe, Lady Kaede", Rum responds. "But the denizens of this world will discover our presence soon enough, and if what Remnant Violet says is true, then they are unlikely to be friendly".

He looks to the Princess waiting for instructions.

Greko huffs and takes out an old staff, beat up and worn, clearly old like him and have seen many advantures, and begins to walk along "Well no sense dawdling then eh? If this is the next leg of the journey then let us be done with it yes?"

Rum watches Greko as he starts to wander off, but carries on circling on Porkins until he knows which direction they are meant to be going.

The Princess swings herself up on Kazu as she enters Leviathan, and then they're there, alone, the door behind them, cut off from Hyboria.  The ambient sounds of the world around them, if a world you could call it, filled their ears, and a general sense of unease crawled along their spines, ushered in on the wings of noise.  

Zelda flicked Kazu's reins, and the kocra moved forward, avian eyes flitting around to take in the alien landscape.  It's feathers faded from the bright plumage it often radiated in Hyboria or even the Faewild and turned a dusky gray with black tips; there was something morose here that even this bird didn't like.  

Balthor and Porkins, on the other hand, not only looked at home, they seemed to be completely impervious to the weirdness of the whole place.  

"Alright Violet,"  Princess Zelda said, reining Kazu over next to the Beholderkin, who looked more at home than anyone that had just come through the portal.  Even while she speaks to violet, her eyes are a million miles away, focusing on something far away.  The reaches out and points to a spot close to the rotating diamond overhead.  "All things in the infinite expanse of the cosmos is relative, including time and distance.  Over there....you can open the door."  

Her finger directs Violet across the expanse of labyrinthian walkways toward the floating 'core' of the world.  A funny thing begins to happen as the party walks; Leviathan, the world around them, begins to curl up at the edges, like a reverse horizon.  Instead of dipping lower and out of sight, it curls up into the sky until, soon, the labyrinth around them encompasses the sky and everything overhead so that the diamond and it's radiating anti-light hang in the center of sky that separates this strange, inside-out planet.  

Something flies overhead in the distance, crossing from one point of the ceiling to another.  

Purple lightning radiates up from one of the corridors that lead down (down?) into the planet and strikes the sky harmlessly.  

As the whole expanse of the labyrinth curls up around them, the fur on the back of Rum's neck puffs up slightly. 

"So this is merely a short cut", he suggests as a destination is selected. "And you are able to open more portals back to home? Ro the Red travelled back in time through a portal of some kind, are we able to do that as well?", he asks of Violet.

Once he gets an answer he directs Porkins to fly ahead a short way, ensuring the path is clear and that nothing is lurking below their walkway on either side.

"Have you ever seen such a place?", he asks Porkins in celestial quietly as they scout.

"Just a short cut."  Princess Zelda confirms as they move.  "I will admit, I don't know much about Ro's capability to move through time...though...perhaps...if we needed him, we could find him again?  Time doesn't move here like it does in Hyboria, Rum, so perhaps his arcane and esoteric knowledge of this world gave him some insight into how it worked."  

"The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out.
The ones that go in are lean and thin.
The ones that come out are fat and stout.
Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out.
Your brains come tumbling down your snout.
Be merry, my friends, be merry."

     Judal is singing softly but melodically as he takes in the scene about him.  Is the troubling vista putting off his mood and giving him grim thoughts?  Nah, of course not.  This is all normal.  Perfectly normal.  Just another SaThuModay, am I right??

     While softly singing to occupy the part of his mind that wants to rebel at this wackiness, Judal is also keeping a sharp eye out to examine everything, particularly any creatures or beasts.  Not only is he very interested in what may make him it's next meal, he's also looking to expand his knowledge of weird and unusual beasts... For scholastic reasons.

     "A shortcut to where, exactly?" he does manage to ask between songs.  

Holding her hands to herself, Thea would quietly pad along. Wide violet eyes would take in everything around her as she went. She'd reflect deeply on how this place made her feel; on it's absence of light; how it robed her skin of it's shimmer, made it crawl, and had her hair standing on end. She felt cold, almost distorted as the horizon inverts and distorts the world around her. She shivers.

Stepping along to Judal's melody, Thea's eyes flick and track something that flies over head in the distance, watching it cross from the one point in the ceiling to the other. Then shortly after, she watches the violet lightning flash up into the sky. She was curious if these two occurrences were related, or simply just a natural phenomena that occur in this place.

Greko turns and looks over his shoulder seeing everyone move in the oppostie direction. He huffs and pulls up his pants a bit and calls for Baturday. He hops on and follows behind everyone else. 

Rum remains ahead of the group some 50' or so, and although he is whispering so the other's can't hear what he is saying, they can possibly see that he is in conversation with Porkins.

He remains vigilant and keeping an eye on the path ahead and the areas down the sides of the walkways.
