Kyumi listened intently to the gatekeepers words and remembered everything he said, then she snorted. "If I recall correctly Ariana was named leader of this little scouting mission by Aster. I won't take orders from you." She looked at the strange orbs but kept her silence and went back to ignoring Prophet.

Ariana and held up her bow and aimed it at the gatekeeper when he first appeared, then when Prophet had threatened him and the Gatekeeper responded she lowered her weapon but she did not put it away. She too listened to all he had to tell, and because of it, they would not have to scout far, they would only have to return to Aster and the others and report what they have been told. But what bothered her most was the fact that he said they would need a more....stronger....group if they were to survive.
Then Prophet was giving orders and she only sighed when Kyumi responded, but before he could respond, "That's enough out of the both of you!" She looked at each one in turn, not unkindly but with a sort of pleading look. "I know you two don't get along but please put your hatreds aside, right now we must work together." She looked at Prophet, "I respect that you would stay behind and watch our backs, but I would feel much better if you would accompany us back to the others. At least come out the other side with us and stay behind to watch the portal so that if you are attacked we can aide you." She heaved an inner sigh, "These are my orders, is that understood?" Again she looked from one to another and waited their answer.
A thought came to mind and she looked at the gatekeeper. "You said ten warriors could enter, though five at a time. Will these ten simply wait here, the first five enter and they reached the closed space I assume you would tell the next five they could enter? Do not think me a fool, I just do not understand...clearly how this works." She paused a moment, "And if," She remembered he had left when the last level was mention, "IF they made it to the last level, would they be facing the same creature together? What will happen then depending on survival...or death?"

"Kyumi, how many people have you lost? How many battles have you fought, only to see them die everyday just for stupid reasons? My best friend died today. If anything, you guys should go back and get the others. My chances of living may be slim, but, if I die, at least I'll be able to see my friends and family again." Prophet said, looking at Kyumi. There was something in his voice. It wasn't fear, but sadness. "I've lost too many friends, and I'd rather die and protect you all than sitting down, waiting for the world to end. Ariana is leader, and I'm making a sacrifice to help you guys back to tell the others. If anything, this is a chance to redeem myself. My friends have died, so many have fallen. I just watched as they died protecting me. I'm not letting anymore of my friends die. I'm going to get those orbs for you, even if you like it or not. If you want to come and help me, then I'm all for it. Otherwise, stay outta of my way." Prophet said, looking at Kyumi, his eyes showing that of a worn out warrior. He had seen many battles, many deaths. Most were of enemies, but others were friends, family. He had seen things that would make people cry on end for hours for their losses. But not him. He was trying to help these two out. Even if they didn't realize he was sick of all the dying, no matter if it were friends, or family. He walked towards her, putting the scroll in Kyumi's hand. "We may not of got off on a good start, but, here. Give this to the others." Prophet said, then, he turned away, walking away from her. "Take me to the first level. I'm getting those orbs." Prophet said to the Gatekeeper, his gaze not moving to anyone. "Oh, and Ariana. Not many people listen to orders. I'm not doing this for my needs. I'm doing this for you two." Prophet said, his voice slightly distorted when his eyes started glowing red.

Ariana sighed as Prophet spoke then handed the scroll to Kyumi, she guessed she needed to talk a bit louder next time. Ah well. "Well then if that is your decision then you had better take care Prophet and you had better be alive the next time we see you." If there was a next time. ..She shook her head of negative thoughts, but waited for the Gatekeeper to answer her question.

"Oh, trust me, I don't deny the leader's orders unless I need to. And dying, is not a need to at the moment." Prophet said, chuckling. "Oh, and Ariana. Take care, alright. Same with you Kyumi. I'd hate to see two honorable warriors die so quickly." Prophet said, smiling at what he said. "Now, when you come back, make sure you guys pick correctly, or I'll have to come out myself and drag you guys back." Prophet said, then he looked at the Gatekeeper. "I'm going to get those orbs. When I return, these two are going to get the others. I will stay here, guarding the entrance incase of more enemies." Prophet said, then, he looked around. "I remember a wise dragon once told me something. He said that we all have battle scars, just some of them aren't visible." Prophet said.

The Gatekeeper didn't quite answer Ariana's questions yet simply because he watched the small Bickering.
"Bickering leads to Betrayal or chaos. You'd be wasting your breath if you continue." The Keeper said, Then he turned to look at Prophet.
"Those Two Orbs you want will only be accessible to you if you are the only one to activate it. However, That doesn't mean you can't start from scratch again and lead the others. The Only problem is, I won't allow a single warrior into the field. It would be a waist of a Soul." He said, then he turned back to Ariana.
"Listen closely now, I don't want you to misunderstand what I say next;" He said, then paused to look if she was paying sincere attention.
"Indeed I tell the next five that they can enter once the first five go into their Closed Space. And yes, They would all be fighting the same thing. Matter of fact, every Monster is fought with the whole squadron, which gives you an Advantage. However, This means that the Monsters are prepared to be attacked from every corner." He said, then he looked to Ariana, expecting another question.
"Some may reach the Big Monster Battles before others though. Depending on Survival and Death, Well, Things will get complicated or Easier. If all warriors live, Then you have nothing to worry about. If Warriors fall during the battle or though the minion floors, Well, Let's just say that You will have a hard time Killing your friends. You see, When a Warrior from your ranks falls to Death, they do not die. Instead, they come back to life and become a Ruined Soul. You have No control over yourself no matter what, and your strength is increased by Two. Afterwards, you also have to slay your friends to progress, because they attack you as a Ruined Soul. So, Not only does this place take a toll on your physical state, but your Mental state will slowly degrade through the dangerous Path to Destroy Our Dimension. Well, That is what happens depending on what you go through."

Prophet looked at the Gatekeeper, a bit annoyed at the news. "Farhusin dreganya griffia searan jusates!" Prophet cursed, punching the floor, making a crack. When he finally calmed down, he looked at the Gatekeeper, then looked them. "For those of you who don't speak draconic, I basically said something you will never want to hear from me, ever." Prophet said, looking at all of them. "Fraganya sagarus geranic." Prophet muttered under his breath.

Kyumi stood in the silence that followed the Gatekeepers words, then looked at Prophet when he cursed. She had learned the Common language known to most all in Fenrious so her draconic wasn't all that great. She didn't focus too much on his words anyway and simply stared at Ariana then... turned to head back to the portal and stood right next to it, waiting.

Ariana was paying rapt attention to what he was saying, and as he spoke anyone who was looking at her would notice that her skin tone paled a little bit. But she did not break her composure nor her stance. For the most part she understood what he told her, for now anyway. "Our..." She searched for the word, "..When our ruined friends are defeated, what will happen to their souls?" She didn't think she would be able to fight a fellow ally, but if it has to be done...

The Gatekeeper didn't speak for a moment, as if thinking thatresponding to the question might not be a good Idea.
"For the Greater good, Your friend's Souls will be trapped in Limbo. This is the Cost of failing in Ruin. It's a shame, but it's how things work here. Do not ask Me why, Ask the Creator of All. The b*****d...If you can even manage to earn a hearing with him." He said, The last part a little quieter than the rest. He looked at Ariana, then gestured to the Portal.
"Is that all, Adventurer?"

Prophet looked between Kyumi and Ariana. "Well, what are we waiting for?" Prophet asked, annoyed that they weren't going. He turned to the Gatekeeper, bowing his head slightly. "Thank you Gatekeeper. We should get going and get the others." Prophet said, then, he turned towards the portal, walking towards it. "If you want to stay here, that's fine. But I'd prefer to not let the world end." Prophet said to his companions. He then jumped through, disappearing. ((Exit))

"That one has a Big Mouth on his body, It will be his Downfall. Cataclysm Dislikes people like that." The Gatekeeper would say to himself, though loud enough for the others to speak.
"Good Luck, Adventurers. I do hope you'll return, It's not fun speaking only to the Creatures and Residents of Ruin."

Reaper and his three Death Knights entered. They looked about them. Not really sure what to expect. "Keep behind me, follow my will." He would command as his linked them to himself. They would obey him completely until they we're destroyed. Once they were linked. They moved onward until they came across the gate keeper. They waited for something to happen. A sign if they willed.
Reapers body was massive. He was easily 20ft tall in his Half Dragon/Half Titan form. His strength alone was probably quite intense. However not only that, but his adamantium 'Reaper' accompanied him. His master believed him to be incredibly powerful, let them see if he was right.

Prophet slipped through the portal, then fell. "Son of a-!" Prophet began, but then he hit the ground, cutting him off. He got up, dusting himself off. "Fradrahin terrasic velganya sorasic." Prophet cursed, looking at the Gatekeeper. Suddenly, Prophet looked at Reaper. He growled in annoyance. "Today is just not my day." Prophet groaned, not believing what was happening.

The Death Knights drew their weapons. Though not entering a combative stance.
Reaper would look down to the one who complained. "Keep your fool mouth closed. Can't you see the bigger powers are talking?" Talking down to prophet and his small team as he eyed The Gate Keeper. Waiting for him to respond. He would try his best to save his energies, however if this wyrmling would stop being such a fool, he might have to just crush him and get on his way.
