Novel & Cerita Mirror Lapis

I needed a mirror. ​The Resonance Mirror was not a piece of glass in the traditional sense. It was a localized, high-density field of inverted solar gold, suspended between four pillars of resonant copper I had salvaged from the Iron City’s old telegraph lines. In theory, the mirror would not reflect an image, but a frequency. If the Shadow Thread attempted to mimic Winnie’s voice or her light, the mirror would catch the vibration, flip it, and reveal the jagged, discordant reality underneath. It was a trap designed for a liar. It was a mathematical net for a creature that lived in the gaps between truths.

He pointed toward a massive stone door at the edge of the arena. “Step into the Labyrinth of Mirrors, Elara.” His smile was thin. “Find the Crown of the First Luna… or remain trapped inside your own nightmares.” The door swung open. Inside waited a maze of glass and silver. Every surface reflected me. Hundreds of Elara’s staring back. I stepped inside slowly. My heart pounded against my ribs. The door slammed shut behind me and the sound echoed loudly. I walked past the first mirrors. They showed my normal reflection. But then the images began to change.

Every tree, every rock, every gust of wind seemed to whisper of dangers lurking just beyond the horizon. Lia’s wrist-mark had been flaring with more intensity over the past few days, the power within her growing stronger, and yet more volatile. The strange "Mirror Soul" ability—this gift, or curse—was becoming harder to control. Every time she replicated magic, it drained her energy, leaving her weak and vulnerable. But she couldn’t stop. The Heart of the Greykin was still out there, and it was the only hope for her people. At least, that’s what she kept telling herself.

The gate was open. In the center of the courtyard stood a massive mirror. It was ten feet tall, framed in jagged black obsidian. It shouldn't have been there. It looked like it had grown out of the cobblestones. The surface of the glass wasn't reflecting the courtyard; it was a swirling vortex of violet and grey. "The Mirror of Souls," Hala’s voice drifted from the ranks. She pushed her way forward, her staff trembling. "It’s a Coven relic. Selene has left us a parting gift."

Alessia turned back to the map and pointed to a section near the Lunaris border—where red threads were faint but strangely… patterned. Here, corruption curved into a spiral instead of a jagged vein. “There,” she said. Kade frowned. “I feel… something odd there. The feeling wasn't particularly strong, but it was definitely wrong. 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’s alive.” Kael stepped forward cautiously. “Which relic do we need?” “I don’t know,” I said, scanning the chamber. “But I’ll know when I see it.” And then I did. At the far end of the Vault, resting on a pedestal carved with moon symbols, was a mirror fragment — no bigger than my hand. It shimmered like liquid silver, reflecting not our faces but shifting scenes. I felt drawn to it. My heart pounded as I stepped closer. I reached out and touched it.

The wolves exchanged uneasy glances, then followed. At the far end, the great mirror—the one that had hung above the council dais for generations—had cracked down the center. Its surface shimmered faintly, catching reflections that didn’t belong. In it, Kaelen’s image wavered and multiplied, shifting in and out of focus. He reached out, fingertips brushing the cold glass. The reflection flinched back—then steadied, staring at him with eyes that glowed faintly silver. Mireya swore under her breath. “Kaelen—”

I ask again, louder this time. No answer. My throat tightens. The mirrors look normal from where I stand. Nothing more than light, shadow, and endless reflection. But the air buzzes, thick with grief. I take a slow step forward, drawn to the last mirror despite myself. The mirror before me ripples. My reflection blurs. For a moment, it looks like someone else entirely, a figure with silver eyes and a cruel smile. Then the surface clears, and the image changes. Riven.

I need to see if I'm real, or if I'm dead. Jasper grabbed my shoulders, while Malik held a mirror out to me. Did they have that on standby? At least I can be assured by their familiar features, I try to gather for myself, what is going on. Holding the mirror up, I finally take a good look at myself, while the two Alpha's stay silent. And I realise, I'm no longer the normal girl I once was.

A dungeon? “Listen to me my sweet” He coos slightly as he raise my chin to meet my eyes. “Doppelganger or not you are the only one in this true form that is this beautiful, and complete and true. Don’t let that get to you. You are the only true Vivian” He assures. “But how am I supposed to kill someone that looks exactly like me? How am I suppose to hurt someone that looks just like me? It’s like looking in a fucking mirror! Fuck I need a cup of tea” I rant.
