...The Magic Mirror...

Dylan became angry when Mei accused them of stealing:

- We only took the ring.

- THE MAGIC MIRROR IS MISSING AS WELL, YOU TOOK IT. AND I ADVISE YOU TO GIVE IT BACK BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND AND KILL ALL OF YOU.

- Are you going to use the disappearance of that mirror as an excuse to attack us?

- DON'T TRY TO FOOL ME. I'M SURE THAT YOU STOLE IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR THE CHINESE MAGIC MIRROR. IT IS CONSIDERED A TREASURE.

Dylan sighed:

" If I knew she would be like this I would never return to that house. Now, how am I going to solve this? She won't believe us. "

While Dylan was thinking about a solution, Sarra took out something from her pocket .

- Is this what you are looking for?

When Mei saw it, she became even more furious.

- I KNEW YOU TOOK IT.

She wanted to attack again, but Sarra created a fireball and was about to put the mirror inside it.

- DON'T DO IT!

- IF YOU DO ANY OTHER MOVE, I WILL DESTROY IT.

Mei stepped back right away. The mirror is so important that she is willing to let the witch go to have it back.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down.

" I must act carefully, that mirror is worth so much. I will try everything to have it back. "

She tossed the purple sword away, hoping to negotiate with them.

- Give it back to me, and I swear upon my honor that I will let all of you go without any harm.

- You won't follow us as well.

- I won't. Please, give it back to me.

- Why should I believe you? A moment ago you were ready to kill me.

Mei took the sword and kneeled on one knee while bowing her head.

- I swear upon my grandfather's honor, the great Solomon, that I won't attack you nor follow you. I will pretend that I didn't meet you at all.

Sarra became surprised by that sudden change of behavior. She looked in the mirror while wondering:

" Is this thing that important to her? What is it exactly? It is not even made with gold...I think it is made from bronze and it has some symbols engraved on it, that's all. I found it in the weapons' room, hidden inside the grandfather's armor. I wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't use my magic. It shined right away. At that moment, I thought it was another item that was taken from a dead witch, so I took it. Well, I think I must give it back to her, our safety is much more important. "

- Alright, I will give it back to you...

- WAIT!

Screamed Dylan while running towards her.

- WAIT A MOMENT! LET ME SEE IT FIRST.

He snatched the mirror from her hand and started examining it.

- What's wrong Dylan?

- I remember something else from the clue.

- What is it?

- When the bronze mirror shines you will find the hidden line...

- Do you think that this is the mirror that we need?

- I...I don't know...I can't assume that, but we can't let it go either.

Mei couldn't understand what they were talking about, but it seemed that they won't give her the Mirror.

- GIVE IT BACK TO ME RIGHT NOW OR I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET MESSING WITH ME.

Dylan decided to make a deal with her since she is willing to do anything to have it back.

He approached her then he put the mirror in her hand without hesitation:

- This is your precious mirror, take it. We are not thieves and we don't intend to steal it from you. I hope you keep your word and never attack us again.

Mei became relieved, she even smiled:

- Of course, I will, I swore upon my grandfather's honor and I will never get on your way.

- Good.

she took the mirror and, when she was about to leave, Dylan asked her:

- So, are you going to hide it again?

- Of course, I will!

- Something that important! Don't you think it will be a waste if you hide it while you can use it?

- Use it? What do you mean?

- Don't you want to know why we are interested in The Great Wall?

- Aren't you archeologists?

- No, we come here to look for a treasure and I think that mirror is the key.

Mei hid the mirror right away:

- Don't worry, we won't take it back from you, instead, I invite you to come along with us if you want to look for that treasure. Of course, if you don't want to, no one will obligate you. You can just go back to your house and hide that mirror again like a useless object. It is up to you to choose.

After saying those words, Dylan turned around and walked away from Mei who kept looking at the mirror.

- Come on, Sarra. Let's go. I think we must look for another Magic Mirror.

The both of them left without looking back:

- Another mirror? It will take months to do so.

- Don't worry, it was part of my plan.

- What if your plan failed?

Dylan smiled:

- It won't.

At that moment, they heard Mei's calls:

- WAIT FOR ME! I'M COMING WITH YOU.....
