Beyond the mirror, that was where she had chosen to go, a world beyond their own and yet inside theirs. The world which a great wizard from a bygone era had created and barred from theirs. She had chosen it because it was the one place she was certain that she could never be found. However, the world she found beyond that shimmering light was nothing as it had been in the journals.

The world was something else entirely, something she could have never expected, and it would see to only one thing, a single desire, a single melody that would caress her soul and her home itself, a single melody that forced her forget her own selfishness for something more important. Where light prevailed in her home, the mirror showed the very opposite of such things.

Everything that looks into the mirror is reflected. Everything.
