I did a good job, too, because it lay hidden there until my sophomore year when one phone call stripped those masks away, laying bare the Truth so I could see myself for what I was. *** As maybe you can imagine I avoid mirrors as much as possible. Can’t be managed all the time, obviously. I do have to shave, comb my hair and brush my teeth occasionally. There’s also the rear-view mirror in my cab, too. That’s somehow the worst. It focuses on my eyes. Everyone’s heard it by now. It’s used in countless stories, poems and movies when someone wants to sound insightful. Eyes are the windows to the soul.

The mirror reflected her pale face, a slender neck, and clothes that used to fit well but now appeared loose on her. Candice stared at the seemingly lifeless woman in the mirror, shocked. Her pupils trembled uncontrollably, and she instinctively reached out to touch the reflection in the mirror. Was this really her? Why did she look so terrible?

Framed by an unknown dark metal that swirls and bends around the clouded mirror, carved with images of Jaguars, Bears, Wolfs, and humans, all the way to the top. In the center of the frame, sits an emblem of twisted vines and swords t

"What does that mean?" "It means the dead have started introducing themselves." The basin cracked. A sound like lake ice breaking split the chamber.

But wrong.” Selene’s eyes gleamed. “Ah, the Ruined Mirrors.” Seraphine shivered. “That sounds cursed.” Rian squeaked, still focusing on the map. “What are the Ruined Mirrors?” “Old Lunaris temple ruins,” Selene said. “Built to amplify luminous reflections. They were broken in a war generations ago.”

It was Nadia. “You abandoned me,” the reflection said. “I had to change. I had to survive,” Iris replied. “You lost more than you gained,” Nadia whispered. “And now, what remains?” The mirror cracked. “I am both,” Iris said. “And I am neither.

I just hope whoever he is, he is ready for the most unimaginable curses that are about to befall him for meddling into affairs that aren't his to interfere.
