Stairway to Heaven
Lucy nodded, seeing the curiosity on their faces. "Yes, the Stairway to Heaven," she repeated. "It's not just a name. It's an actual staircase, carved into the side of the mountain, leading up to the Inner section. But it's not like any normal staircase. This one tests you—your will, your strength, your mind. Every step becomes harder as you go up, and only those who are truly ready can make it to the top."
Klaus furrowed his brow, imagining what it must be like. "What kind of tests?" he asked.
Lucy paused for a moment as if recalling something difficult. "The first few steps test your body. The gravity increases with each step. At first, it feels like you're carrying a heavy weight, but the higher you go, the heavier it gets. After a while, it feels like your bones are being crushed."
