Aria led Trevor away from the pulsating mirror, guiding him to a secluded alcove filled with ancient scrolls and texts. "This is where the true secrets of the mirror lie," she said, unrolling one of the scrolls carefully.
Trevor leaned closer, eyes scanning the faded script. "What does it say?"
"The mirror is not just a portal; it's a conduit for dark energy," Aria explained. "It draws in those who seek to change their fate, amplifying their desires until they consume them entirely."
"So, Nyx's ambition..." Trevor started, realization dawning on him. "It's feeding the darkness."
"Yes," Aria confirmed. "And if she's too far gone, she might become a vessel for its power."
Trevor felt a wave of anger rise within him. "I can't let that happen! I have to save her, even if she doesn't want to be saved."
They continued reading, learning about the sacrifices required to wield the mirror's power. Trevor's stomach churned at the implications. Nyx had been willing to risk everything.
Suddenly, the chamber trembled, and the shadows flickered ominously. "We need to move," Aria urged. "The darkness doesn't like us here."
As they hurried back into the corridor, Trevor's thoughts raced. He had to find Nyx before the darkness consumed her entirely. He couldn't let her sacrifice everything for power.
