"Ruby, why do you say this is a vile place that no one should ever go to? I think seeing your future is an amazing idea. If their be warnings, you can be warned. If their be corrections, you can be corrected. And if their be approval for the path you are on, then you can stay."
"That's the thing. The Mirrors show you your future, but don't tell if you'll get there by staying your path, or taking another.
I rather stake out my own treasures then turn a complete one-eighty in the hopes of attaining gold, just to find out I went the wrong way."
"HOW FAR CAN WE SEE INTO OUR FUTURE, SIR? CAN WE SEE WHEN WE DIE?"
"Little girl, I am not the one who decides what gets shown in the Mirrors, and what is not. All I can say is they always show one hundred percent proof. You just have to decide if the proof is on your path, or another!!!
I merely just guard the Mirrors."
"If you were a guardian, you wouldn't want something."
"Want something?
I ask for nothing in return. Just for you....to be happy."
"Happy?"
".......I'll go first."
"Yeaaaaaaa...give the boy a prize. Step right up...…..step right up…..you're only in it to win it.
Tell us, what do you see?"
"I don't know. The Mirror is blurry. Why can't I…"
"Only the Mirror can be seen by you, and you alone. Go on. Step inside and take a look."
"Ru...by?"
"Don't worry, Darius. Everything that happens inside a Mirror reflection does not happen in the real world. Whatever you change, won't hurt you physically or otherwise."
"There. Are her words reassuring enough for you?"
"What if my own Self, fights me? How do I get out? Do I just...…..wake up?"
"Haaaaaaaaaa. This is the Mirror world. Just find one, and hop through. Any will do. No one will judge you. No one will see. Yourself will be free."
"This sounds like a creepy carnival game, but here…..I don't have to pay."
*Vrooom*
"Who else wants to join him?
Come on now, don't be shy. One at a time please."
*Vroom*
*Vroom*
*Vroom*
"Ruby, whatever happens."
"Woooo…..you two can't go in together."
"What if we do?"
"Just....please don't do that."
"Rainbow, I don't think he's threatening us, but warning us."
"Ooohhh…..Okay. We'll go separate."
*Vroom*
"I'm watching you."
"You can't even see me, Ruby."
"But I can feel you. I always have."
"....Good...luuu...ucccckkkk"
*Vroom*
"Where.....am...I?
Why am I in the middle of a Desert, surrounded by nothing but rocks?
HELLO!!!!!
....HE…HEE….HELLO!!!!!!!
…Is anybody out there? If this is the place that I….
Kid....Can I call you, Kid?"
"Who are.."
"Don't turn around. I'm not gonna hurt, and I'm not gonna kill you.
Do you hear that?"
"What? I don't hear any...…..wait a second.
Yeah. I do hear something. It sounds like…..sounds like...Music!!!!!!!"
Wanna see who's playing?"
"I don't have any tickets."
"Who needs tickets to go to your own Concert?"
"Concert? No…no…..noo. I am too shy and small to do things like that. Their is no way that..."
"...Grass...in the Dessert?"
"Darius, you are so smart, and intelligent; that you know when to speak up, and when to just listen.
All these Kids...you'll meet. They will come and go, but you will stay forever. You will gain their skills. Gain their knowledge, and one day...….you'll not only beat them...….
'LET'S LIFT THIS ROOF'
*Bum….bum…..bum…bum…badada…bum*
"You'll become them."
'I can't hear you?"
Stronger than Ruby, you will be able to create life wherever, whenever, however you decide to do it."
"Are these people...."
"Real?
Yes, they are very real. Came from far and wide. Oh look, here comes some more now.
Came to seek life, not to find it. Survivors of a bygone era. They don't want to deal with the woes and fights of others. They just want to be free. Start anew. Be filled with..."
"Wait. Survivors?
How did this Dessert become....so dry? What fight are you talking about, and why…"
"Sorry. That part of history is not your Future; so I am not at liberty to show you. What I can say however is...…..You finally have your own army."
