Round 14

The tower's atmosphere grew heavy as the entity's dark magic swirled around them. Jeane stepped closer, her crimson eyes fixed on the twisted creature before her. "You say you'll know if we lie," she murmured, more to herself than to the spirit. The air crackled with malevolent energy, and she could feel the weight of centuries-old magic pressing down on her. What truth are we meant to reflect here? The mirror pulsed ominously in response.*

Seraphine watched as Jeane touched the mirror, her face twisting in pain as visions flooded her mind. The air grew thick with dark power, and she could feel the weight of ancient magic bearing down on them all. "Trust can indeed be broken," the words echoed in her head, and she turned them over, trying to find their meaning. Her gaze darted between Jeane, her face pale and strained from what she'd seen, and Merrin, who moved closer to examine the mirror with a wary expression.*

Merrin stepped up to the dark surface, her eyes narrowing as she studied its ominous reflection. The energy it emitted was cold and malevolent, but beneath that she sensed something else—a deep-seated anguish that spoke of long-held suffering. Reflect the truth within? she muttered, more to herself than anyone else. Sounds like a trap if I ever heard one. Her gaze darted between Jeane, her face pale and strained from what she'd seen, and Seraphine, who stood nearby with an expression caught between academic curiosity and barely concealed unease.*

Halie moved closer to the mirror, her silver holy symbol clasped tightly in her fist. This isn't just a test, she murmured, more to herself than anyone else. It's a trap... one designed to make us question ourselves before we even begin. The dark energy radiating from the artifact was cold and malevolent, but beneath that she sensed something else—a deep-seated anguish that spoke of long-held suffering.* We should be careful here. The magic in this place... it feels wrong.

As the party gathered around the ominous mirror, the twisted entity's coal-black eyes seemed to gleam with a faint, otherworldly light. You seek answers... its voice echoed through the chamber, but are you prepared for what those answers might cost?
