Ki swallowed hard.

"E-Earth?" she said.

"That's the only place I can think of." Linn stated.

"I can't risk a repeat of this whole thing. This…this Wind…everything. Last time I was out for pretty much three chapters. THREE CHAPTERS!" Linn explained, breaking the 4th Wall. Ki sighed. Linn was known for being stubborn.

"But how are we even going to get there?" Ki asked.

"Alright, I have magic, right?"

"Right."

"But if Dimentio honestly needed MY magic that bad, I must be able to do something with teleportation."

"…Well, I guess you have a point. But you can't even control your powers yet. How are you going to be able to learn teleporting crap if you can't even control yourself?"

"Umm…I dunno. I'm trying to make things up as I go along. I'm not really good at this kind of crud, okay?" Ki sighed.

"What do we do until then?" Nee asked.

"Yo, business lady gotta point there." Bob said.

"I heard that. Ain't no arguing there." Frank agreed.

"You'll have to run. You've just been staying here, so he can obviously find you." Vita explained.

"But…I can't go alone. That only makes me more vulnerable." Linn explained.

"You're not going alone." Ki said. She turned to see everybody nod in agreement.

"We're going with you. All of us." Ki continued. Linn smiled, but weakly.

"Umm…thanks." Linn said, barely enthusiastic. Ki sighed.

"Now what?" she asked.

"Well…It's risky. Plus, moving from place to place…won't that be hard for all of you?" Linn asked.

"Heck, yeah it will!" Mr.L shouted. Alessa kicked him in the shin.

"…But we'll do it anyways?" he finished. Ki rolled her eyes.

"Where to first then, Linn?" Linn paused.

"Forever Forest." She said.

"Why there? You were just there and barely made it out alive…" Ki asked. Linn nodded.

"My point exactly. Who would suspect I'd go back there?" Linn explained.

"ZOMG NO!!! THERE'S GHOSTS THERE!!!" Fice.T shrieked.

"Well, get over it, because you're going." Eni ordered. Fice.T swallowed hard.

With that, all 10 of them headed deep into the Forever Forest…

Darkness filled the air around them the deeper they went, night creeping over the forest.

"This place is creepy…" Vita commented. Fice.T was practically paralyzed by fear, but managed to keep up. Quite awhile passed as they continued along. They didn't necessarily know where to go, but that didn't mean that they were lost.

Suddenly, Linn tripped over something. After Eni stopped laughing, Linn picked it up. It was a dusty old book, yet the covers resembled mirrors in a way. A title was etched into the front in elegant writing.

"The Mirror of Dreams?" Linn asked herself quietly.

"What was it?" Ki asked curiously. Linn hid the book behind her back.

"Um, nothing." She said.

Later on, everybody decided to take a break, maybe even fit in some sleep. But Linn quickly slipped behind a few trees and pulled out the book. Wiping off the dust, one could see the true splendor of it. Under the moonlight, she could almost see her reflection in it. Carefully, she opened it and began to read…

Long ago, there was a maiden with the name of Miradiien. She wasn't a normal human, she was magical. It was up to Miradiien to protect herself from the forces of evil, but she wasn't alone. She and her allies fought them off, but they had left Miradiien weak and frail. But she needed some way to keep her magic alive as she slowly faded away from existence. Using the last of her power, she created three objects. The first was the Mirror of Dreams, which could only be activated by one of the other two, the Dream Shard or the Mirror Shard. The Dream Shard was of the purest lavender, while the Mirror Shard was as clear and reflective as a mirror itself. The Mirror of Dreams has the capability to do things that the holder of either shard dreams or wishes for. Thus, if evil ever gets hold of either, they could have whatever they wanted…

Linn closed the book. Suddenly, she remembered her necklace. Wasting no time, she hastily took it off from under her scarf. A lavender star-shaped crystal dangled from it. Linn gasped.

She was the holder of the Dream Shard!

That could only mean that she was a distant descendant of Miradiien herself, along with another person. But who?

Either way, Linn realized the powers she had were from Miradiien. That also meant another person had her powers too…she had to find that person. Suddenly, an old page of the book came loose and fell out. She must have missed it. She read it off to herself:

Miradiien hid the Mirror of Dreams in a place where none could find it: The Forever Forest. She also used her magic to cloak it, and only a wielder of either the Dream or Mirror Shards could unveil it. Miradiien also passed down her powers throughout the generations, but legend states only one generation can discover these powers. If they fail, darkness could easily befall the universe. Every generation that discovers it goes through a time period where the Mirror unveils itself until both shards are brought together. Between that time, anything could happen if somebody were to steal either shard, as they would be able to see AND unlock it…

Linn gasped in shock.

THAT must've been what Dimentio wanted from her! Yet that was just another reason she had to get back to Earth, to keep the Dream Shard safe. But who was the wielder of the second? Only time would tell.

But the Mirror was somewhere in Forever Forest. If she found it, she could go back to Earth. Linn smiled as she shut the book and ran back where everybody else was still waiting for her.

"Linn, where were you!?" Ki asked. Linn handed her the book. After everyone crowded around her and read it, they looked puzzled.

"But what does this have to do with you?" Alessa asked. Linn pulled out the Dream Shard, and they all gasped.

"We need to find that Mirror, and fast!" Linn stated. With that, they were off again.

Mere minutes later, they came upon a strange clearing that doesn't appear in the games.

"There it is!" Linn exclaimed excitedly, pointing to an empty space. The others paused.

"Linn…I don't see anything." Vita commented. Linn grinned as she held up the Dream Shard, and the Mirror of Dreams suddenly appeared. Linn gazed into it, preparing herself.

"Show me…Earth." Linn whispered. The large mirror glowed for a moment, and it showed a forest, which Linn was familiar with. Suddenly, one of those "warning Winds" came by. Linn was paralyzed with both shock and fear. Ki's eyes widened.

"Linn! Go!" she yelled.

"But…" Linn began.

"Just go!" Ki yelled at her. Linn's eyes swelled with tears as she entered the Mirror's portal.

"…Good bye."

TO BE CONTINUED…

Kitayl: For those of you who are wondering, this next chapter IS the final chapter in Mirror. But as soon as Mirror is finished, I will be making a sequel. Squee. :3

Ciao!
