Mirror of Blood and Desires
It had been months since both Jax and Amoria arrived at the Imperium they had been learning much from the members of the Imperium, Jax and Amoria were currently with in the study of the of Imperium both had taken to reading books about the history of each of the roles both of them were to take within the world. Something today wasn’t sitting well with either of their magics within the library it was as if something was trying to call out to them, both had been searching every inch of the library until finally Jax had found what had been causing their magic to act out, it was this beautiful black book embroidered with beautiful gems.
“ So what do you think it could be Jax?”
“ Truthful who knows what it could be”
Jax and Amoria had been expecting the book closely; neither one of them could open the book, it wasn’t until running their hand over the cover did Jax realize that the cover of the book was written in Elvish. It had taken Jax close to half an hour to finally figure out the Elvish word for open.
“Edro”
As Jax spoke the word for opening the book began to flip its pages rapidly until it landed on one of the center pages, looking into the book both Jax and Amoria noticed that the book was completely empty. Confused, both of them began to look for any sort of magic that would hide the writing within the book, when suddenly they heard a voice coming out of the book.
“Finally someone has finally opened my journal. Tell me what are your true desires?”
Both Jax and Amoria looked at each other making sure that each of them had heard the voice or were they both completely going around the bind when suddenly the book spoke once again,
“Tell me what your Hearts truly desire, what would you do for those desires?”
Almost suddenly Jax and Amoria felt as if their minds were being looked into neither one of them wanting to close the book, something about the voice and the book was peaceful to both them and then memories began flashing into their minds but the memories were not their own it was that of an Elvish woman panically speaking with a being in a hood standing within the front of a tree, a tree in fact both of them had seen in their dreams. Suddenly behind them almost as if it was magic a mirror appeared out of thin air neither of them paying any attention to the mirror both being busy looking at the memory in which was being shown to them. The pieces started falling into place. Jax knew what this book finally had to deal with; this was written by the leader of the first Elven tribe the Almorins. Jax had been engrossed in the book that it took Amoria literally punching them in the arm to even look up and directly into the mirror.
Something about this mirror made the blood inside Jax’s veins burn, something about the mirror made Jax want to turn and run.
“ Amoria!? I don’t think we should touch it let alone deal with it alone”
“ What do you mean Jax? It looks like a harmless magic mirror?”
“ Please just trust me, something about that mirror makes my skin crawl”
Amoria had already stepped in front of the mirror, Amoria’s image began to shift within the mirror to show what her heart truly desired. Her true desire was that of her family within the image of the mirror she had seen her mother, her father and Alyssa all happy all alive it was then a voice reached the back of Amoria’s head.
“ Come you poor dear girl for you and I are a lot alike, we both have lost our families come girl take my hand and I shall give you what you truly desire”
Amoria was shaking whether that be from anger or sadness, but everything within her wanted to take the entity's hand and be allowed to pull into the mirror. But at that moment in which Amoria had begun to drift forward Jax had pulled her away from the mirror, looking back over her shoulder Amoria had seen Jax freeze in front of mirror the look on their face was one of pure and utter pain, something in which had surprise Amoria normally Jax was extremely well at masking what they were feeling.
Jax had pushed Amoria away from the front of the mirror, only to be blasted by the image shifting this time into the form the of their mother then the the form of their sister another image formed that of their father finally being the man he should of been, the last image was the one that made Jax fall to their knees. The image shifted into an image of them and Amoria older. It was truly what Jax had always wanted in their life, the love of a mother, the pains of having a sibling, the wise and caring words of a father, and more importantly the love of another.
Jax’s hand shot out, throwing out a bolt of some sort of magic, attempting to break the mirror but as the magic impacts the mirror the mirror disappears.
“What was that?”
“That was an artifact that was crafted by my clan”
Jax spoke explaining to Amoria how hundreds of years ago a mirror was crafted in blood and those who had desires, the mirror had made even the strongest willed fall to a knee in desire the mirror made even the sanist of men and women insane with the want of what the mirror showed.
