The Mirror Inside the Attic

Chapter 2 - Mirror of Magic

They were two opposites in a universe and were fated to never meet.

When one lived a happy and fortunate life, the other would live a miserable and unfortunate one. Before, the girl was the one who had lived the happy life, while the boy lived the miserable one. The tables turned after the boy changed his acts so he would live a happy life. What he didn't know when he did that, was that he would ruin the fortunate girl's life. They were, after all, created to be opposites in this universe.

When he found out what happened to the young lad, he vowed to himself that he would do everything to see the girl smile and be happy once again. He would grant everything she wished for through the mirror so her happiness would return. She would chant his name on the other side of the mirror signaling him to grant her the wish.

Each night, until the spell ended, would be the magic of the opposites. Even if he grants all her wishes for her happiness, in exchange he would have to return to his life from before, but he didn't care. He was a magician meant just for her in that universe, after all.

Magician (Len)'s POV

I sat in a dark room of a locked tower. My flaxen hair reflecting the moonlight that entered through a small window across the room. The deep, cerulean orbs in my eyes were filled with hate and misfortune. A black cape was wrapped around me to keep myself warm through the night and the only thing I could hear was the sound of my beating heart in this empty room.

I was shunned in contempt by the citizens and I was hated out of fear. My parents left me right after I was born and I couldn't bare the fact they did. I wasn't given a name, so the only thing I was called was the "Prince of Misfortune". Whenever I was around, I would cause them misfortune by doing it on my own. I had magic, so I used them to my own abilities to make sure I wasn't the only one with this miserable life, or as I call it a curse.

I was alone for my whole life. Never was I trained with politeness or anything of that sort. No one wanted to be my friend since they knew I would bring misfortune to their life just because of the name I was given. Everything was like a curse to me and I didn't know why, until one night I found the cause of it.

A storm was happening outside, and the citizens blamed me for this uneventful day. There was a knock on the door outside of the tower; probably another citizen who would complain, so I decided to leave it. The knocking continued for 10 more minutes, which started to bother me a lot, so I got up and headed over towards the door. I hadn't invited anyone, so it must be a citizen who came to complain.

I unlocked the wooden boundary and slightly opened it to see a soaked, young man who was holding a mirror in his hands. He had long, lavender hair tied in a ponytail. His eyes seemed to sparkle in delight from seeing me, along with that smile on his face.

"Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" I asked, with a hint of curiosity in my voice.

His smile seemed to widen from the question, "Do you want to know who the cause of your misfortune is?"

That perked up my curiosity even more. Why would he be asking something like that? Though, I did want to know why my life is filled with misfortune.

I nodded my head slowly to his response feeling a bit worried on what he would say.

"Take a look into this magic mirror and see for yourself," he answered, holding the mirror up for me to see.
