I am standing in front of the mirror. The pieces of glass are clear and I can see the roof of the cave in the reflection. I can see my reflection in some of the pieces and I look and my scratches have healed. What the hagsmire? They only appeared a half hour ago and they are gone.
The Pure Ones took Nyra back to her base and left without any fight so I am almost alone. She might have had a concussion from the number that Ezylryb. No matter what, I can tell that he is still Lyze of Kiel, even if he says that he is somewhat pacifist. I have Josh and Ezylryb guarding me as I am trying to fix the mirror. They are positioned at the door and are watching for Nyra. I know she will seek revenge at some point, but not now. I move the pieces together and they glow. As i stare into the mirror, my eyes glow and i go into darkness. What is going on?
I hear a thud from inside and look. I see Lydea collapsed on top of the glowing mirror. Her eyes are ice blue and i don't know what is happening. I try to wake her by shaking her, but she won't respond. I am flipping out. What is going on?
"Lydea? Lydea! What is going on?" I ask the still statured Lydea
"'There is something is going to happen and I clearly suggest you stand back, Josh." Ezylryb suggests while we look confidently at Lydea
(In the mirror)
It is a beautiful place when I open my eyes. It is a snow littered mountain forest. I am alone as leafless trees surround me. Snowflakes fall and i feel them fall on my face as the mists roll in and the chilled air fill my lungs. surroundings a breath taking and like a winter wonderland. I know this place, it is the Northern Forest. The myth must be true. Owl Gods do live in their homelands when they die. That must mean the myth of how they say that Cheyenne's spirit lives in the tree. The mists seem to protect it and they are caused by water in the air and evaporation has a somewhat effect on it. And who controls the sun? Cheyenne does. But… How did I get into the forest when I was in the cave of the Mirror of the Snow Goddess?
In the mists I see a figure. I see a glowing snowflake and my snowflakes glow for some reason. The view is blocked as it is hard to see. The mists have turned into fog as i approach the owl. As i get closer, the mists dissipate and i can see clearly again. A light shines and then It stops and i see a snowy owl in front of me.
She is the colour white and is snowflake markings like i do and her eyes are dark blue like mine. I cower as this could be some sort of vision again. No more, no more. I hate visions they show me the despicable truth. Why do i have to be the one who has to have a prophecy?
"Don't be afraid. I will not hurt you, dear. You and I were destined to meet someday. That night is tonight." She calmly says to me
"Who are you? Where am i?" I ask
"Hush, Lydea. To answer one of those questions, This is my vicinity. This is my realm; however it is merely a place that you can recognise. My home is the Northern Forest and you might have seen me in the mists. I appear as a scroom in the real world, but no one has ever spoken to me as I hide in the mists. I am a snowy like you, but I am the guardian of this mirror. As one of the creators, this mirror holds the power to destroy evil and I have to control it and the forces entrusted in me." She announces
"Ok, so… Who are you and also…? How do you know my name?" I ask
"Lydea, you must know that you have to destroy the Pure Ones with this mirror." She says (clearly not answering my question)
"What can I do? The mirror is shattered from the rock that Nyra threw. I tried to stop her but i tumbled into it." I explain
"Simple, Lydea. You must channel the energy and use it to rebuild the mirror. For you see, my dear, you have goddess powers that lie dormant within you." She answers
"I have... Powers?" I ask myself
"Yes. You have alas only one power, healing. You had held on to life as you were healing yourself. After you fix the mirror and use it to turn the Pure Ones to dust, your powers will be unlocked." She explains
"How will i fix the mirror?" I ask
"Hope and Love is all that you will need. Your heart controls the force within you. However, your mind knows not of this." She replies
"What do you mean by that exactly?" I ask as she is giving me nothing really of her knowledge
"Silence. Your heart will take over when i release you from this realm. However, this power is going to be destroyed after the Pure Ones are turned to the dusts that they had come." She finally explains
"Before I go. Who are you?" I ask
"Nya Schana-Strata. I am the Goddess of Snow and your ancestor." She replies
(Exits)
I see Lydea awakening and she gets up. I am going to ask her if she is ok when I see her eyes. Her eyes are only one colour, ice blue, and it takes up the full space of her eyes. I heed the advice given a moment ago and Ezylryb and I stand back. We watch in awe as she rebuilds the mirror. The pieces of the mirror come back together like a jigsaw puzzle. Every single piece of the mirror, every single shard goes back into the mirror. It then glows then I see another owl in it. Another snowy owl that has the same markings and some goddess eyeliner. She utters "Go, Lydea. Use the power to destroy the Pure Ones!" We stare as Lydea uses the power to emit a dome of power. What is going on?
Lydea uses her new found powers to create the power that destroys Pure Ones. Nyra, Elanore and Metalbeak escape the North before it happens and in the battlefield, the weary Guardians see the Pure Ones turn to dust before their eyes. Just as the power is killing them, Lina is coming toward Lydea as she is upon the cave. She intends to kill Lydea as she has been ordered to by Metalbeak. Josh picks up a shard of metal and stabs her before she attacks. She then turns to dust just as he impales her. The energy ceases when every last Pure One in the North (Except Metalbeak and Nyra who had escaped) is killed. Lydea falls as the mirror explodes into dust. Josh holds Lydea in his wings as she reawakens covered in dust.
Lydea isn't waking up. I shake her as I hold her. I am yelling at her in Naya'va to see if she can hear me. Also, I end up taking most of the dust away from her face. Her eyes open and they are normal again. Oh thank goodness she is still alive.
"I did it..." She softly announces
"You did it, Lyd. The kingdom is yours." I announce as i let go of her as she gets up
"We won!" she triumphantly announces
She ends up grabbing my wings and we jump around viciously saying "we won" in Naya'va over and over. Then Lydea gives me a surprise hug and then we part a moment later.
"The victory is all because of you, your highness. I know that people will credit this victory to you. I know those Pure Ones won't recover from this one." Ezylryb says to Lydea
"Please, Ezylryb. You have known me for ages and you are allowed to call me Lydea." She replies
She cheers then passes out. I check to see what is wrong with her and she is fine. She gets a moment later and giggles happily. We then travel to the Pure One base. The Guardians have ended up stealing the base as they all had turned to ash. They also found a note from Metalbeak and Nyra saying that they will be back. I say a Whatever to that. Their whole army has been destroyed and I don't think they would have a chance against us. The victory party has already started as we enter Compound. My father and mother approach Lydea and she is from Ezylryb passed her crown and she places it on.
"I was wrong. You truly deserve to be with my son. Especially as you had finally found a way to defeat those morons. I know that they aren't defeated since their bastard leaders, but either way, you are a good lass, Lydea. I know I have done some horrid crap to you and Josh, but I am sorry." dad says
"That means a lot. Thank you, your majesty." I reply
"Please, I know that my son here will propose to you sooner or later. You have my respects to call me Boron." Dad then says
"Ok, can you stop underestimating me, dad." I whine
"Looks like I was right, Boron." Mum exclaims as she gloats
"You are right, Barran. You are right." He replies
"Maybe someday, the whole world will be right. Nyra and Metalbeak may have escaped, but they might never bother us. I wish this will be buried under a thick blanket. I wish that such evil will never dawn on us, ever again." Lydea says
"Maybe it will, Lydea. Maybe it will." Ezylryb replies
