"I'm sorry...I forgot." Ellery chuckled nervously.
"Then spread your own wings," Alice answered, "Then we can fly over the wall."
Zephyr was humming a song to herself as she walked out of the boundary of the second terrace, feeling her eyes unraveling and the ability was granted back to her. She somehow felt less envious of the world for some reason.
"I don't have wings." Ellery said before jumping up and using the wind to support his body. "But I can float."

"Finally can see again." Jared sighed in relief as he looked at his hands, he like Zephyr felt a lot better with his problem of Envy. "Basically, Envy blinds the person and makes them unaware of their surrounding."
"I can see too, well more properly" Cooper said as Amber guided him out of the terrace. "So what's next?" Cooper said, hoping it wouldn't be Lust, even thought he wanted to get it over with.
"With my guess, I would say Wrath, although how Wrath wasn't before Envy is beyond me. Next to Pride it has to be the second most deadly sin, considering it can lead to hate, violence and even death and murder" Amber said observing as she glanced back.
"But Envy can lead to that as well. So I think you are right, Wrath has to be the next one, they both work alongside together" Cooper pointed out. Amber nodded her head knowing he was right.
"Everyone ready?" Amber questioned.
"The first three terraces of Purgatory relate to sins caused by a perverted love directed towards actual harm of others. Lust is last because of how easily caught up people can be in it." Zephyr said, looking at Amber.
"So shall we keep going?" Jared asked and started walking, he was beginning to get impatient.
"Yes we shall." Dirk agreed. He was also getting impatient.
The group rached the third terrace the terrace of the Wrathful. Much like the other two terraces it was filled with people walking around, except that this time they were all shouting in anger, arguing with each other and fighting with each other. Jared noticed that smoke was beginning to cover him causing him to cover his eyes and nose. "This smells horrible." he coughed.
"The terrace of wrath´s punishment is very simple, these clouds will cover your way until you get out of the terrace." Naomi pointed out, once more being immune to the punishment of the room. "The smell as well as the lack of sight and frustration that the terrace itself leaks out can even cause illusions and mood swings."
OOC: I added th elast part myself cause...just cause.
Dirk didn't even notice the smell or the clouds. His eyes had shifted to the demonic red, orange and black that signaled he was in a dark place. This place being his own mind. Dirk was trapped in visions of his wrath, his hatred, his violence... He tried to focus, tried to fight. "I would suggest that all of you give me some space." He managed to tell the others. He knew that he was likely to lash out blindly the next time the visions took over.
"Just try to keep focus and don't collies with anyone or it migh cause trouble." Naomi advised to the group and began walking.
Dirk's eyes shifted back to blue for just a moment before the visions overtook him once more. He was faced with the hordes of goons and faceless minions that he had slaughtered over the years. Even though it was just business to him, the faceless mob had been twisted into monstrous creatures in his mind and they were overwhelming him. He roared, his entire body surrounded by black, grey and purple shadows.
"Well, let's do this then," Alice answered as she opened up her wings again and began raising herself up off of the ground.
Jared gritted his teeth as he tried to keep walking, it was hard though as he felt his frustration growing with each passing second.
Ellery stared at the wall of fire for a moment, his mind spacing out before he began walking. "I think I''ll cross it."
"No," Alice said in shock, "You can't do this to Desiree or your baby...don't do it..."
