"Magic comes at a price... No matter what you use it for, all magic will have its repercussions. Everyone must pay."
The young raven wiped a tear from her cheek as she stared deep into the purple smoke of the cloudy hand mirror. "A-And then I can be powerful?" She choked back a sob. "And no one will ever hurt me again?"
The mirror's glow almost eased the girl's nerves as she clutched the mirror's handle in her small claws. "Of course, little one." The smoke in the mirror parted and revealed a face. "What is your name?"
The girl was startled by the face. It was really just two eyes, a nose, and a mouth floating beyond the surface of the glass, among the clouds of smoke. "Alani, Daughter of the house of Reynolds."
"Hello Alani. Are you sure that you are ready for the consequences of using dark magic?"
Alani nods and purple smoke poured out of the face of the mirror and slowly enveloped the young vulnerable bird.
