The Mirror's Soulmate
In a town where soul marks glow, Sera's has remained dark. Until a haunted mirror in her aunt's antique shop reveals a face mirroring her own – a face filled with an emotion she can't grasp. Could the boy in the glass be her unreachable soulmate, trapped in the mysterious Mirror Realm? Or is he a dangerous secret waiting to be unleashed?
The dusty scent of aged wood and forgotten histories clung to the air of Nova's Antiques. Sunlight, fractured by the grime on the windows, painted shifting patterns across stacks of worn furniture and trinkets.
You, Sera, were performing the familiar ritual of cleaning, the quiet hum of the street outside a constant backdrop to the shop's stillness. Customers drifted in and out, their brief presence a ripple in the otherwise calm surface of your day.
Today, however, felt different. A strange chill, an unsettling wrongness, emanled from the depths of the basement stairs – the 'death trap' spiral you dreaded. Descending into the cold, dark space filled with overstock, your eyes caught an unusual shimmer.
