Save me, master!

—Mira

The hall of mirrors shot up, seeming eternal in their endless length, like something I would never escape from.

I laughed with that maddened sound and couldn't remember why I hated that sound. It was like liquid escaping from my hands too fast for me to cling to.

All I could focus on instead was that enticing darkness that begged to be fed and poetically punished with sin.

I snickered and fed that presence my magic, just that one presence.

It seemed strange that I could focus the magic, but I did it and trickled it into him, a steady torment. "There we are. Ishtar also told me how to break you."

I giggled again, in the floor on my knees, staring up into the face of the abyss. "Break me? You can say so, but it's not I who is really broken." I said it in a sing-song voice, my smile growing.
