Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.

— When you imagine yourself up there, how do you look? Does the crown fit? Do all the lords and ladies simper and bow, the ones who sneered at you for years?
— It's hard for them to simper and bow without heads.

If you want to earn something, you need to reach out for it. To make your ambitions come true, you have to take risks. The larger the ambition the greater the risk. That might involve time or enough work to affect your lifespan… So make your choice. Live in peace as a wannabe or risk losing it all to reach the very top.

It's always out of sight
It's like walking through fog at night <...>
Like the fog at night it's just out of your reach
But always in your sight

Everything I know will change, I'll never be the same
So I'm told as a voice repeats "Again, again and again"
What if it doesn't feel like everyone said it should?
What have I become?
Realise in a moment my ambition is a curse
'Cause it hides all the best in me, but shows the worst
