The Bond of the Obsidian Mirror.

Chapter 2

I arrived at the throne to see "my parents" waiting for me. I bowed before them then took my seat next to my father.

"Rita, today we shall celebrate your 4th birthday! Quetzalcoatl has bestowed his blessing on our empire with you. Now let us celebrate!" My father said. I nodded in approval. My mother stood up from her chair and went to hold my hand and lead me out of the palace to let our people see me in my birthday. My father was close behind. It was a wonderful celebration.

There was dancing, music, delicious food, gifts. There was a game held in the stadium. I always loved watching people play. Of course it was our tribesmen verses enemy soldiers that we have taken as prisoners after our latest battle. Of course the tribesmen of my people won so the prisoners were taken and killed as sacrifices to the Mayan gods. The best present I got was a tiny jaguar cub that I named Luunaa. (Luunaa is Mayan for Luna.)

My final gift was from the high priestess who gave me a necklace with a small chunk of obsidian as the center gem. As I looked at the gem, I thought of my dream. But I just tossed the thought aside as I put on the necklace.

~several years later, basically a TimeSkip!~

"Rita, come on. If we don't hurry, we'll be late for the world meeting." Thais said to me as she grabbed the keys.

"Coming big sister!" I yelled back as I ran out the door behind her. I'm 21 years old now. I've been living with Thais aka Portugal for a long time now. She is my big sister and she's kind of like a mom to me. As I run out the door I slip my obsidian ring onto my right ring finger.

~~at the meeting~~

"WILL YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP?! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, YOU'RE ALL ACTING LIKE FUCKING CHILDREN! NOW CUT IT OUT SO WE CAN ACTUALLY GET SOME SHIT DONE AT A FUCKING MEETING FOR ONCE!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs at the meeting. Typically Ludwig aka Germany, is the one who does this but I couldn't take it and I'm an extremely shy person too. After I said that, everyone was silent. I stood up, pushed my chair aside and left the conference room to go outside.

It was a nice day outside and honestly I was tired. The reason why is because my dreams haven't been letting me rest at all. I constantly keep waking up in cold sweats, usually screaming. So I laid down on the grass to try and take a nap but I couldn't. I felt like I was being watched by something or someone and then I heard it. The voice from my dreams.

"Release me, release me, release me. Set me free!"

Honest to god, I thought it was Natalia aka Belarus, trying to scare me. She is always saying something like "Marry me, marry me, marry me." to her big brother Ivan aka Russia. Poor guy.

"Geez, now this voice is starting to haunt me while I'm awake. Fuck my life." I groaned. I got up to go sit at the edge of the fountain and gaze at the water. Instead of the water, all I saw was obsidian. I looked at my reflection but it looked different. Yes it was my reflection, I think. But different? How?! Then my reflection raised up her right hand as she tried to reach out to me. 'HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?! THATS MY REFLECTION BUT IM NOT DOING ANY OF THOSE ACTIONS!! WHAT THE HELL?!!' I thought, then the reflection spoke.

"Release me from my obsidian mirror! Release me! Release me! Release me!" It said. 'Obsidian mirror? Does she mean my obsidian mirror that I have in my pocket?' I thought. I was about to reach in my pocket for the mirror until I heard my big sister call my name. I looked in her direction then back at the water. Only guess what?! The fountain was back to normal and the obsidian that was in the fountain was gone along with my reflection. I pulled out the obsidian mirror that I had in my pocket and looked at it but my reflection was normal. I had only one thing going through my mind.

"What in the hell is going on?..."
