After a long day, our heroes went to sleep because being late. Theo had a strange dream with an owl that turned into a Griffin. He jumped on the Griffin to see where he took him. The Griffin showed him a plain and on the sky was a strange object that flew above it. In the next second, he fell from the Griffin and screamed. All woke up and saw Theo on the floor.
"Look at me? Are you fine? How many fingers you see?" said Tara
"Calm down, I am fine. I have a very strange dream," said Theo
"A dream you say?" About what?" said Devout
"Is necessary to talk right now about his dream?" said Stiles
"You dream you fell from a high ground?" said Scott
"Relax, let him breathe a second and drink some water and calm you," said Geralt
"I saw an owl. The owl turned into a Griffin and took me on a plain. There in the sky was something like a ship and I felt from the Griffin," said Theo
"Owl you say? Maybe is a Convor," said Devout
"Convor is an owl and they are observers. While you fell asleep on Tara, Aikka see it and tell us about it," said Geralt
"I know it is a dream, but how the owl come at you?" said Scott
"Let's see your dream. We are too tired to discuss this," said Tara
"If you look carefully the owl have the same colors as the Griffin," said Stiles
"Yes, but what is that flying object from I fall?" said Theo
"We will talk tomorrow with Aikka, maybe know it what is that," said Scott
"I can't believe. I have right," said Stiles
"You are ok? What do you talk about?" said Devout
"Do you think this convor, the Griffin is actually one of your stories?" said Geralt
"She is the avatar of the light side known as Ashla," said Stiles
"I think she see our message and come to ask more details," said Scott
"I don't care why is here, but for sure she wants to help us to find that object," said Tara
"I never see such ship in my life for God's sake," said Theo
In the morning, they went to eat with Aikka. Tara showed him the dream of Theo and recognized the ship that went to Oban, but he did not understand what had to do with the convor who turned into a Griffin. After that, Aikka took a map and showed the area where the ship supposed to be.
"Do you have any idea who is this convor and what she represents?" said Aikka
"She is Ashla, Avatar of the light side. She comes from Mortis," said Stiles
"Remember the story from yesterday, right?" said Tara
"Sorry, if I interfere, but that convor appears here on the day you come," said Canaan
"Before or after we come here?" said Devout
"Before and I notice something will happen because she is not like the others," said Canaan
"She can take another shape than a convor or a Griffin?" said Geralt
"Why not? I mean she can be a very cute owl and after she can turn into...," said Scott
"Scott, better shut up than to say nonsense, right? Also, she can turn into a human who has the same colors as the convor or Griffin," said Stiles
"Calm down, Mister angry. Not everybody is a fan to know more about the universe," said Theo
"Blast the gods, Stiles has right," said Canaan
"I think you know the Witchers have no emotion, so we can focus more on important business?" Geralt
"With a business, you mean the place where is the ship? Crap, I mean how we can go there," said Devout
"I can take you there myself, but I can't go with you on Oban because is your war and not mine," said Aikka
"Also, your friends make allies for sure and wait for you there," said Canaan
"You helped us more than you realize," said Tara
"I hope we are going to meet this Ashla. Maybe she knows something riders," said Scott
"We leave after we finish with it?" said Theo
"We have enough time to go there," said Aikka
"Also, is better you stay here because is our time and our home," said Geralt
"You mean they like to play hard and if somebody will interfere they are going to change their plans?" said Devout
"That's the point," said Geralt
Before leaving, Aikka gave them some supplies and left the city. On the way, they met a disguised merchant who sold mirrors, but Geralt recognized him. Gaunter removed his clothes and smiled at them. They knew something bad happened and was something wrong with the merchant.
"We meet again, Geralt, and now you have some friends," said Gaunter
"Again, you? Why you are here?" said Geralt
"I told you I can't be killed and if you manage to beat me at my own game I will be back," said Gaunter
"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" said Stiles
"Don't dare interrupt me, Stiles Stilinski or the one who has a hard polish name. Your mother died because of you, isn't it? You killed your own mother?" said Gaunter
"How do you know?" said Theo
"How you were fooled by Dread Doctors and looked at your own sister, Tara, how she suffered and waited for her to die in the lake to take her heart to become a chimera?" said Gaunter
"I don't know who are you, but I demand you to stop," said Aikka
"A true alpha is something very rare and a few people deserving it. Your father left when you young because he is an alcoholic cow," said Gaunter
"You are a Nogitsune," said Devout
"A Nogitsune can do this? I guess he can't," said Gaunter
"What? Aikka why he doesn't move? How the time freeze?" said Scott
"Is impossible, you can't be real," said Tara
"Shall I present? My name is Gaunter O'Dimm and the people know me as Master Mirror or Man of Glass. Also, my sweet, you want to call me, Mephisto or Mephistopolis," said Gaunter
"What do you want?" said Geralt
"Nothing, I want to meet your friends. I have already met them all except on group from Alwas," said Gaunter
"Who is he and how he knows so many things?" said Theo
"He is the reincarnation of evil, he is the devil himself. Is a demon and grant wishes and the payment is your soul," said Tara
"Yes, and thought you were smarter than that," said Gaunter
"Funny, you are not a Nogitsune, but you know everything. You can enlighten us?" said Devout
"Yes, but I want to show this. I think this owl represents something important for you," said Gaunter
"How do you get it and who you are?" said Scott
"My dear Theo has a very nice dream, but in the end, he fell from the Griffin and at that moment he fell from the bed," said Gaunter
"I hate when I read stories about myths," said Stiles
"As I said, he fell because I captured the Griffin. Also, is time to answer the true alpha question. Narrow-minded know me as Master Mirror, Man of Glass, Mephisto or how you want you to call me," said Gaunter
"But, a few people know you as?" said Tara
"As the one who turned the Creators and make them fight," said Gaunter
"So, you know about Canaletto or Ashla, but you need something," said Geralt
"Indeed, we have a common enemy. We fight against the Wild Hunt," said Gaunter
"Don't say somebody with your powers was tricked by them and if they manage to take the crown of the Avatar you will be fucked up," said Devout
"True, that fools manage to trick me. Also, Ashla is not just the avatar of the light side, she is one of the Creators and you meet some of them," said Gaunter
"Why do you smile?" said Stiles
"I love your mark on the face, Stiles," said Gaunter
"Is impossible, there is nothing," said Scott
"You wished to see your mother for one more time. In addition, you wished to remain with Scott's friend for life and everybody to return safely to Beacon Hills after this adventure. I fulfill your wishes and now is the time to collect my debt," said Gaunter
"No, you don't have the right to do it. Let me alone, please. What I have on the face?" said Stiles
"What the hell happens? How he go near Stiles so fast and what is that mark? How you move without to see?" said Aikka
"You have one chance to survive, if you fail, I am going to take all your souls," said Gaunter
"Take the hands from him now and tell what game you want to play," said Geralt
"On that cliff is a cave. Go inside of it and defeat the owner of the cave and I let your friend leave and as a bonus, I give you this beautiful owl," said Gaunter
Stiles trembled because he knew Gaunter would take his soul and nobody could stop him. Geralt looked at him and said to be calm because he was in his shows and told them about Olgierd Von Everec and how he succeeded to save his life. They arrived at the cave and looked around. From the dust, some Oni appeared.
"What are these creatures and from where they come?" said Aikka
"They are Oni and they can be killed only by silver, but the silver must remain for some seconds inside of him to destroy them," said Scott
"Is all my fault, you should let him take my soul. Now you will die because of me. Always I blame because my mother died because of me. Always I had nightmares with her and this time was different," said Stiles
"Shut the hell up. He could kill you when he wanted, but he didn't," said Devout
"They are invincible and not even the silver sword can harm them," said Theo
"How we supposed to defeat them. Is impossible and their swords are real," said Tara
"Go in the circle now," said Geralt
"You think a shield will save you from me?" said Gaunter
"You don't have to do other things than torture the people?" said Aikka
"Sorry, this is my job and I have practiced since the begging of the world," said Gaunter
"Let him alone. Why you are doing this?" said Scott
"Because is funny. Take that sword," said Gaunter
"You want me to suicide with it?" said Stiles
"Yes, you know I am worse than death. So, better your suicide than to take your soul," said Gaunter
"Stop, must be a way to stop him," said Theo
"There is no another way than death," said Stiles
"Stop, right now. This is an illusion. We are fighting with ourselves," said Aikka
"Look at the sword, they can reflect. They are real," said Scott
"That is only the human eye want to see," said Devout
"What you mean?" said Theo
"The eye can see how looks like the being, but not how looks like the magic," said Tara
"You mean this is the magic we are fighting with?" said Geralt
"How you realized this is just a trick?" said Gaunter
"Nourasia is a magical planet. In addition, the magic or the Force has the will and think. They show us how we are not how we want to look," said Aikka
"You are free to go and next time pay attention to what you want," said Gaunter
His body disappeared in flames and all remained shocked to see that. Ashla was free and she remained in the owl form. Aikka was able to talk with her and told them what they needed to do to Oban. After that, Ashla disappeared and our heroes took the ship while Aikka wished them good luck and knew they were going to stop the Wild Hunt or everybody who wanted to take the crown of Avatar.
