“Yeah? Then why’s the mirror pulsing like that?” The mirror. Had it reacted to her leaving? Maren crouched low, slipping into a shadowed crevice on the left. The hallway opened up ahead into a chamber, and three of the guys were gathered around what looked like a floating orb. One had spiky silver hair, another had bark-like skin, and the third — the one who’d smirked at her earlier — stood with his arms crossed, watching the orb like it was an annoying riddle. “It’s linked to her,” Silver Hair muttered. “The mirror reacts when she does something extreme.”

The eclipse pulsed above. And the pool began to rise. 7. The Offering of the Isles From the center of the pool emerged a platform a disc of woven threads, obsidian and moonlight coiled together. Atop it rested a single object: A mirror, no larger than a hand, etched with Spiral symbols along the rim. ikjElira stepped forward to claim it. But the moment she touched it, the pool sang again and a voice echoed across the Isles: “The thread that knows its weave may change the pattern.”

It had not been there yesterday. "This mirror was never here before," Nyra breathed, stepping forward on unsteady feet. Selene’s hand closed around her arm. "It reflects… something else." Ryker chuckled, but it was hollow. "Looks like trouble." Kaelan’s amber eyes narrowed. "It pulses with void magic." At her command, guards formed a cautious circle, yet none dared touch the frame. The mirror’s surface shimmered, and Nyra’s reflection blurred. For a heartbeat, she saw herself, only her eyes burned silver, her lips curled in cruelty.

“Show me the gate she opens.” The mirror shimmered. Nya appeared, asleep in her palace chamber, her small hands glowing faintly. Then, her eyes snapped open. She looked directly into the mirror. “I hear you,” she said. The mirror shattered. Fire screamed upward. Saphros staggered back, clutching his scorched robes. “She’s already waking,” he gasped. Above, on a balcony bathed in volcanic heat, Arion stood watching the horizon where the three forges blazed brighter with each breath.

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—”

He couldn't afford to lose hope; their survival, and his own, depended on it. He discovered a small, almost hidden alcove, tucked away behind a crumbling rock formation. Inside, he found a scattering of Elara's tools – her delicate instruments for analyzing the subterranean flora, now coated in a thick layer of dust. A single, luminous mushroom, unusually vibrant amidst the decay, lay near the tools, almost like a beacon of hope. It was a variety that Elara frequently used in her research, suggesting she had been in this area just before the tremors intensified.

Aria narrated, her eyes wide. “What was it?” Aether asked, his tone sounded serious out of curiosity. Aria turned to me, her voice trembling. “It was a mirror, May. One that belonged to the first moon goddess Vessel, It’s an ancient relic” I felt my breath hitch in my throat, I had seen that mirror before in a dream. And in that dream... I was screaming.

The one my father actually looked at when he spoke. I was the spare. Hana finished the laces and stepped back. "There. You'll do." She didn't meet my eyes either. The corridor outside smelled of woodsmoke and wet stone. Mira waited halfway down, leaning against the wall in a simple gray robe, hair loose and shining even in the weak lantern light. She held out a small silk pouch between two fingers like it might bite her. "Sleeping herbs," she said. "For the journey. They'll keep you calm."

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.

Soli, who sat beside Wren with the quality of someone learning what it means to be in a room full of people who know things and find out that they can know them too. Adara was there. Calder and Selene. The people who had built this alongside us and who deserved to be present when it was completed. I took the wrapped mirror from the desk. I unwrapped it. It was smaller than the second mirror. Simpler. The frame was a material I did not recognise, not metal, not stone, something between the two. The surface was dark. I looked at Etta. "Is there an instruction?" I said. "The document," Saren said. "Page nine. The substitution layer."
