The Mirror

The name 'Lisa' echoed in Aubrey's mind, a haunting refrain that brought memories flooding back. Lisa, her vibrant and intelligent classmate, had vanished along with Chad because of the malfunction of their teleportation.

It happened during the time when their academy was under attack by several Arcanist Factions.

The possibility that the pulsating mass of flesh before her could be connected to Lisa was both horrifying and compelling.

Taking a deep breath, Aubrey used her Darkness Manipulation to protect her from any curses or Arcane Spells before she reached out, her fingers brushing against the cold, slimy surface of the flesh.

A jolt of energy surged through her, and visions flashed before her eyes—images of a young woman, laughter, love, and then Darkness, a ritual gone awry, and a spirit bound to flesh.
