The Staircase
You push the door open and walk through and emerge into a small landing jutting out of the wall with a long staircase suspended above... nothing?
You take a few steps towards the stairs to get a closer look. No railings, concerningly thin, and hard to see against the blackness below. You touch the first step and quickly draw your hand away as the icy stone stings your fingers, feeling almost like a bite.
You take a few steps back and look at the rest of the room, but aside from the wall that you are practically leaning on to avoid falling into the depths, there are no walls in sight. You gaze off at where they probably should be, trying to get your eyes to adjust to the darkness in contrast to the incredibly bright room you were in before. When they finally do, you can see huge, hulking shapes in the distance.
You lean forward a little bit, trying to get a better look to figure out what they are. They appear to be statues, but you can't quite tell of what.
You sigh look back at the staircase. Of course you have to go up the extremely precarious stairs.
