The home of goldenfire (Afina, Jaela, Surraruthru)

[Corwin]

"Don't worry, Kascha! It's part of your charm!"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Go for it. It'll likely lead to a revelation about yourself. You've had a few of those recently, and none of them were negative. I believe there's plenty of grace in you."

[Anastasia]

"No, I have this," Kascha says, opening the door.

"Kyaaaaah!" Kascha stops back as a Kascha appears right in her face, stumbling back before spinning and face-planting right into the ground. She lies there a few moments and groans before picking herself up.

Meanwhile the other Kascha says, "Hi!"

[Ebiris]

She kept silent as the others were interrogated by their doppelgangers, but at this Afina can only utter a quiet, "Oh, Kascha..."

[Anastasia]

The other Kascha spins on her tip-toes, perfectly graceful even with a matching set of ioun stones flying around her head.

"Hi?" Your Kascha says, a little hesitantly.

"Hello. One must understand the concept of grace to properly use goldenfire." The other Kascha says.

"I understand it," Kascha brushes off a bit of dirt from her robes, "I'm just prone to occasional accidents."

"Not that sort of grace," The other Kascha says, "Heavenly grace."

[Ebiris]

Looking at the other Kascha, Afina is reminded of a concept she read about when studying how to make lifelike golems.

Uncanny valley.

[Corwin]

Jaela helps her Kascha clean her robes with the handiest spell in existence, providing a silent support.

[Anastasia]

"You mean forgiveness?" Kascha replies, frowning a little. "What does that have to do with goldenfire?"

"What is good if not forgiving? Not even the greatest of angels are safe from temptation. Failure and sin will happen because of free will." The other Kascha says.

Slowly Kascha considers this before saying, "Are you saying that..." A long trailoff as she closes her eyes, looking down. "Ah! Are you saying that we need to know when to use goldenfire and when not to, for when forgiveness is the right answer?"

[Corwin]

Don't those who have it use it pretty much all the time? When she and Mirajane are together on the same plane, it comes to them easily, Jaela muses. Maybe this just concerns the special goldenfire variant they're here to find?

[Anastasia]

"Yes," The other Kascha smiles, "That's exactly it. Goldenfire is a weapon, and like any weapon, there are times where you must sheathe it and use other means." The other Kascha then vanishes, revealing a stairway going down behind her.

[Corwin]

"Actually, let me go first," Jaela tells Kascha, intending to be there to catch her if she falls on her way down.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Excellently done, Kascha. I knew you had this without issues."

[Ebiris]

Afina is content to let Jaela take the lead, even if she should probably be the one to open the next door. She flutters along silently behind the angelic duo regardless.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru simply strides along next to the group, content to remain out of the way as things progress.

[Anastasia]

The stairs go down and you soon find the walls are flecked with tiny deposits of gold. They burn with an inner light, illuminating everything as you go down. Down and down you go, until you read the bottom. Here there is a single door that says, "Duty."
