Trap [3]

The Mirror. 

To fix my condition, I needed to use the Mirror. 

The one that Kiera was in possession of. 

Collecting the mirror should've been my priority. I knew that, and yet, when Kiera appeared before me, I stopped myself from asking her for it. 

I understood that it wouldn't be easy to get her to give it to me. 

It was something precious to her, and I knew she didn't fully trust me yet. But that was fine. I had another thought in mind. 

While it wasn't a permanent solution, it would help me buy valuable time. 

It was a bit of a gamble, but what if...? 

'What if I use the ring on Julien?' 

The Ring of Nothingness.

As an artifact bound to my soul. One that only I could use it. If anybody tried to use it, they'd be subjected to the 'trials of forgotten minds' that I had undergone in the past. 

Once someone entered, it was almost impossible to get out.
