~ He wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't right in front of him, he have already battled unbelievable things, but this was just crazy.

There was no reflection in the mirror, even though he was there.

He questioned himself, why there was no reflection. An answer rose from behind.

- Because I’m here.

There was no one`s reflection in the mirror either, but he knew he wasn't alone.

A hand grabbed his shoulder making him turn at, well, himself.

- I knew you would be here.

- What are you? - The boy got against the mirror at his back, shocked to the fact he was actually "talking to himself". The mirror distorted as he walked nearer to it, he didn't even noticed the fact it started fracturing itself by every step.

The mirage just pushed me a bit More.

He smiled; I was already inside the mirror.

Huge was my surprise when he quickly hit the mirror glass, it was solid as stone, and yet it broke. I ran to it in hope to escape, but the only thing that happened was me crashing on the glass.

I could saw the other sides bleeding hand; I tried to direct my small power towards the glass resulting in a huge light explosion that ended destroying parts of the glass leaving barely standing pieces on it while the rest became shiny dust.

I was trapped by myself; he didn't even have to move.

I was still trying to get an idea of what just happened when he started talking again.

- Cozy isn't it? - I gave him an imposing look. - It has been my home all this time, all the time actually.

- You're not me - I said with anger.

- Maybe not, but right now you ARE me.

A rage within me started hurting my hands, I knew what was about to happen.

Goldenstar rose from within, it had already angered the purest of demons, but this time was different, the lightest of hope surged with him.

The other side of the glass remained still.

- Impressive trick - It finally spoke - But nothing i cannot undo. He touched the broken mirror and light started filling the room. 

He woke up, last night hasn't been one of his greatest, and waking up in a room you're not used to wouldn't help, though still trying to recognize his surroundings, and realized he wasn't home.

His sister knocked the door just before entering without advice.

- You okay? - The girl was older than what it looked, she was twenty, yet she looked like she was still sixteen.

- I'm okay, just a nightmare.

He had been living with her for the last few days; the same time since he started having nightmares.

- Ok - She stand in front of him. - Suit up, breakfast is ready. - She smiled at him and left right after. ~
