"Here's your coffee, miss."
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTZ2gEuMbV
"Oh. Right, sorry." The waiter smiled.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsfhnR1fsu
Warm scent tingled my senses.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5myqzaNyj6
Attraction.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz90RHnxueV
I took a sip from my cup. Great, even the coffee is cold.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdJZPOpaOS
Usually, I'm able to control my ability from surfacing, but with the blood moon drawing near, my senses are somewhat heightened.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60WCUMS3wj
I shook my head for the nth time today. It helps refresh my mind a bit, somehow, to compose myself from sucking the essence out of everyone I stumble upon. It's barely 10 am, and I'm on my fourth coffee but my headache keeps getting worse.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJIEyfKSfk
I could just stay home but then Andres would be there, and I have no time to deal with his emotions, which ironically, I'm dealing with a lot of those right now.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FgZMn6BrR
Unable to breathe, I grabbed my bag, put some paper bills on the table and went my way.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCDlFb0kpD
The streets are so quiet. One would think mortals aren't overwhelming.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4HKbsETJJ
I take a look at my back, making sure I wasn't followed.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4QRAjhJ8l
I'm on the run.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKETw11CcuV
For the past two centuries, my kind has been hunted down to extinction. I'm not even sure if I should be pleased that I wasn't one of the fallen.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXsqAUXxPx
The fallen. The descent. Night creatures, as we now call them.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWBcZwEmVl
However, I'm somewhat in between. An abomination, if you ask them. Cursed, and according to the High Souls, I must be annihilated.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9v9LNAJTx
Ten minutes of walking and I'm sure no one has followed me. I slid into an alley and took the mirror from my pouch.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCwhcwg95p
Occulu de Desiro. Mirror of desires. It’s a portal that leads you to your greatest wish. But to open it, you have to offer your deepest, darkest secret.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE94tivzakN
It’s a small circle mirror with intricate details of vines around the edges. There's a glamour on its surface to keep it hidden from mortal eyes.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTuSpNRw2w
Before I proceed, I whispered a protective spell to hide me from mortal eyes. Just in case things don't go as planned.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM0fJCHzsP
I held out the mirror, and with a shaky breath, I whispered my secret. "I am Sienna Nightfire, the last living descendant of the Esencea Bloodline." The mirror took my offer with a glowing light bursting from it.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqTKxpIw7
The brightness caused me to close my eyes abruptly as dark mist surrounded the alley.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo63jJcrcEN
Cold air filled my lungs, and the brightness vanished. I opened my eyes only to find myself floating in the abyss.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaOryRqEru
I'm inside the mirror, I thought.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNbh1laeTG
I looked around, and a dim light came from my left. Instantly, I found myself swimming towards it. The light became brighter as I got near, and then suddenly, it stopped.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAKueM2PqA
My eyes squinted as I adjusted from the sudden change. I feel the earth on my feet. Birds chirping. Waves crashing the sea.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGk7zRMqJL
When I can finally see clearly where I am, I couldn't believe it. The mirror brought me to the place my heart long the most. My island.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjpzhpiH1y
Hidden from the sight of any creature who dare to find it. A house stood at the center of the mass. Old, and abandoned for 18 years. My parents' house.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GeGbVYgBh
I remember my mother's hanging garden in our backyard. Father's hand-crafted vintas. My heart swelled at the memory.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzHgNjaofY
I took two steps, and the world shook beneath my feet.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHMZDEg0QX
"No no no! Not yet!" But the mirror does not listen to its intruder.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzndX8xL1ap
My mind is swirling. The ground gave away, and I'm falling, my arms flailing as I fell.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbsOCEl5SW
This time, I couldn't fight back the sob. Two years of planning in stealing the most sacred item of the Faes, and I only get to have a minute to savor its worth.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4QxbqLvvx
A few seconds later I heard a thud. I'm back in the alley, the mist backing away inside the mirror, and I watch it break into pieces.
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlHnAtATrf
This is it, then. It'll only take about an hour for the magic to reach the Spiritus, and I'll be hunted to death; not that I'm not already. My life has always been a step away from death.
