No more tears.
Roen continued to stare at the luminescent mirror, even as all traces of him vanished into that blinding light. Her eyes darted from one edge to the other, as if to try and imagine some lingering trace of a shadow of that framed his silhouette. Her form remained frozen still, and her fingers dug into her palm so forcibly that it threatened to draw blood.
She did not know for how long she stood, motionless, until the sounds of her stuttered breaths broke the silence.
It is time.
The mirror shimmered in front of her still. Its light was both burning yet beckoning. A step, then another. The paladin approached the otherworldly glass with a heavy gait, her grey eyes turning silvery as she neared that white light. When she reached out with her hand, she could see her own silhouette almost fading into the light itself, all shadows fleeing from its brilliance.
Let go.
Her fingertips then her palm came to rest against the glass, just where Nero had touched it. The light rippled from her caress, pearly rings expanding to the edges. And then, she pushed through.
“All shall be well if you believe it to be so.â€
