"COME ON, SHOW it to me," I urge the mirrors.

I am not afraid. We take a few steps. Gaz adapts to my pace.

The mirrors light up, and it's like being pierced by a hundred knives that puncture the flesh with every step taken. The magical power blocks me, my knees tremble.

But Gaz is regaining color. She is fine. That's what matters.

A boy drenched in rain and mud screams at the sky, on his knees. Then he pounds his fists on a puddle of dirty water and cries, waiting for him to get up. What a terrible sight... is that really me? I am unrecognizable, out of my mind, a madman who believes the impossible and keeps telling his Dragon to get up. I move forward in the room with Gaz, and this, the spell, doesn't like it; it punishes me by shifting the memory three days forward. My heart pounds in my chest, and I feel my stomach twist, bile rises, and I have the urge to vomit.

But this time, I swear on Galodah's soul that I am not afraid.

"He's dead, you idiot," I scold my younger reflection. "Even a child can understand that. He's dead. He won't get up just because you're holding a vigil you could have spared yourself."

It was simple to understand this concept. Galodah is dead.

"Raor? You're seeing it, aren't you?" Gaz says anxiously.
