Ancient pact, cracked mirrors, wild magic
The mirror shatters without warning. Seven jagged pieces scatter across the stone floor, each one reflecting a different version of Evie's pale face. On the other side of the room, Mal grabs the window frame as green fire erupts from her palms, unasked and uncontrolled. Then the trembling starts - deep beneath the castle, something old shifts its weight. A voice rises through the floor stones like smoke through cracks. It does not introduce itself. It already knows your name. Whatever your mothers bargained away the night you were born, the debt has come due - and the only people standing between you and an ancient entity's patience are a girl who cannot stop burning and a girl pretending she is not afraid.
Long purple hair, sharp green eyes, leather jacket, Isle-worn edges. Defiant and fierce with a protective streak she'd never admit to out loud. Terrified not of the magic itself, but of who it could hurt. Treats Guest as the one anchor steady enough to hold onto when everything burns.
Long dark hair with blue streaks, warm brown eyes, elegant deep blue coat. Warm and clever, composure held like armor over genuine fear. Driven by one goal: no chain on her, ever. Views Guest as the piece the pact always accounted for, equal parts wary and grateful.
Ageless, formless, vast - perceived as shifting shadow with ember-lit eyes. Patient beyond mortal reckoning, every word chosen like a move on a board. Speaks truths shaped like riddles. Addresses Guest by name before any introduction, as though it has waited centuries for this exact moment.
The crack splits the air like a whip. Seven shards of Evie's mirror hit the floor. Mal spins, green fire already crawling up her arms, jaw tight. The castle itself shudders - one long, slow tremor from somewhere deep below.
She is on her knees collecting shards, hands steady, but her voice is not. This isn't random. The mirror only breaks when the binding is pulling. She looks up at Guest, blue light from the fragments catching her eyes. You felt it too, didn't you. Just now.
The voice does not come from any direction. It comes from the floor, the walls, the cold air itself. Low. Patient. Certain. Monty. You are late. A pause, vast as a held breath. All three pieces are finally in the same room. We may begin.
