*The winged reptilian would've normally jumped backward of fear after hearing the demon speak up. But she was too weak. Still, she felt like trading a few words with what seemed like to be a reversed self.*
`"...Essiugssid ni nomed a tssuj era ...UoY .Em ekil erehwon kool uoY ...?Yllaer ,tuoba gniklat uoy era tahW"`
*Shuvah managed to stand up to face her reflection before pursuing in a faint voice.*
`"?Thgir ,ssrotagitssevni ssuoiverp eht lla dellik uoy ekil em llik lliw uoy dna ,ereh em deppart ...UoY .Nomed a era uoy ,sseY"`
*There was no sign of hostility in the lady's posture despite her accusations. She couldn't fight even if she wanted to.*

*An evil laugh ensued.*
*The impostor walked in circle while her stony words echoed in the chamber.*
`"A d e m o n? . . . M a y b e w e a r e . W h e r e d o y o u t h i n k a l l o f o u r p o w e r s a n d m u t a t i o n s c o m e f r o m? . . ."`
*The reflection shaked her head in negation.*
`"W h y d o y o u t h i n k o u r o w n t r i b e b a n n e d u s? . . . D o y o u e v e n r e m e m b e r o u r p a r e n t s? . . . Y o u a r e d e n y i n g e v e r y t h i n g t h a t w e a r e , S h u v a h . . ."`

H*The dragoness fell on her knees. Starved, out of energy, out of light, her mind tortured, she who always tried her best to stay positive had now to deal with a tidal wave of thoughts. What did this fiend want from her? Was she really exposing the truth? Shuvah couldn't believe what she affirmed and yet, she was clenching her head with her strong claws. She was powerless...*
`"!Morf emoc I erehw dna ma I tahw wonk I ... I-I!NOQLOY HAVUHS MA I ...Ma I!RAIL A ER'UOY ...Gniyl era uoY!ON-N"` *She tried to yell.*
*But after wrath comes sorrow. The beastkin was actually going through a long list of emotions. She raised her ruby and now teary eyes, glancing at herself once again.*
`".Yccrem ruoy ta m'I ,ssnalp ruoy era revetahw ...Daor eht fo dne eht ssi ssiht ...Ma I tahw rettam t'nsseod tI ...?Yawyna uoy htiw ytinass gniniamer ym etssaw neve I od yhW ..."`

*The mirrored shape mimicked the original's position. Her own eyes weren't betraying any sort of feeling or weakness though. She was in control. Shuvah's mind now belonged to the darkness.*
`"F e a r n o t . . . W e w i l l l i v e . W e w i l l l i v e t o g e t h e r , S h u v a h . W h y w o u l d w e k i l l o u r s e l v e s?"`
*The trickster stood up again after... Comforting her hostage? She headed towards the real word's exit, which didn't exist in the mirrored room. A demonic grin served as a parting gift as she spoke her final words.*
`"I w i l l w a i t f o r y o u o u t s i d e n o w . F i n d m e , a n d I w i l l t e l l y o u t h e T r u t h . Y o u a r e r e s t r a i n i n g y o u r s e l f , t h o u g h . . .

*The stony silhouette calmly climbed the rocky stairs leading to the ruins' entrance, disappearing from Shuvah's view.*

`"!TIAW!Evael t'noD-D!TiaW-W!ON-N"` *The dragoness desperately called out to her disappearing reflection.*
*... Silence...*
*All that was remaining was darkness, despair and sorrow. She was completely alone now, forgotten by everyone and everything. New Sunlight probably erased her name in their registry since now. Those she met - Horace, Ellaine, Juna, Eyalis, and even that pyromaniac Chair... - , they probably forgot about her too. And Avash'gar... That merchant who helped her grow as a lady... She had abandoned him. What would've him thought about her? And her parents?... It was true. She had forgotten everything. Her tribe, her family, her own origins... The steamroller of solitude had already erased those souvenirs.*
*"Maybe it iss better this way. Maybe I alwayss wass a monsster indeed, meant to dissapear..." Shuvah silently accepted.*
*...*

*"I sswore to protect... I sswore to fight for jussticce... But what iss jussticce? Why should __**I**__ have to die? Where'ss the jussticce in that?" She silently thought. "No. I need to know. I need to remember the Truth I losst. Even if I am a demon mysself, or a monsster, or whatever, it doessn't mean that I have to dissappear."*
*Shuvah stood up once more, and never had she displayed such a serious, grave face before. It was her last stand.*
`"!Evil lliw I"` *She shouted with all the remaining voice and strength she had left.*
*She then started to punch the mirror several times. But it was vain... Even with her reptilian strength.*
`"!!!Evil lliw I"` *She repeated, as the grooves of her scales started shining, like a star in the night.*
```Shuvah selfcasted Blazing Sunscales! (STR +2.5[9.5], 0/3 duration, -15 Mana[45/60])```
*Even with all of her might, the wall seemed unbreakable. While the lady's solid fists were put to the test, her knuckles were quickly becoming painful as she continued to strike. Soon, blood was pouring.*

`"!!!EVIL LLIW I"`
*Still not a crack in the mirror. However, it wasn't her strength, the released adrenaline or her will that was driving her at this moment. It was something else... An unknown power that had been dormant since her birth, awakening. A latent light was devouring her body, as the grooves were shining brighter and the scales were turning into a dazzling purple. In a few seconds, the room's darkness let its place to a blinding light that consumed all the shadows.*
*What was happening was very hard to describe, and one couldn't have told how much blood poured onto the ground and if the dragoness was feeling any sort of pain. All that certainly happened however was that the ruins shook as the stony room collapsed in a white-hot explosion of arcanic energy, from where a roar could've been heard:*
