"That is the worst poem I have ever heard." Cupid said. She didn't like Pablo's poem one bit.
Pablo shrugged his shoulders. 'Can't blame me. I wasn't much of a poet anyway.'
"Forget it. Concentrate on the mirror for now." Cupid replied and Pablo was surprised to hear her say something important.
Nevertheless, he focused on the Enchanted Mirror in front of him.
He could feel eyes on him and he also knew it was the soldiers. They were looking at him and many other people.
Pablo was at the corner of the room and only a wall was on his left side.
On his right, there were people and they were all focused on their own mirrors.
They were far but Pablo would still be able to see their color when the mirror would show it.
Ting!
Pablo's mirror made a sound.
'Did you hear that?' Pablo asked Cupid.
"No. Only the one who stands before the mirror to awaken their Ego can hear it. Everyone else would only be able to see the color of their Ego." Cupid explained.
'Neat.' Pablo liked the mechanism of the mirror and paid attention.
Cupid didn't say anything as well. She didn't want to disturb Pablo.
The mirror made some more sounds until some words appeared on its glass.
[ Showing your life... ]
'Hmm? Whose life though? Mine or this kid?'
Pablo got his answer as the mirror began showing him the life of Void Grief.
Pablo already knew this so he just waited for it to end.
The same prostitute mother, the same birth of Freya and the same coal mine he worked since he was very little of age.
However, as the life progressed, Pablo's body began to react.
'Not again.'
The Enchanted Mirror showed the rape of Freya and Pablo's hands twitched.
His heart crashed against his chest, threatening to come out and sweat appeared on his palms as well.
'What a bother. Fine.'
Pablo devised a plan to stop all those reactions and he acted on it.
He closed his eyes. Now he couldn't see anything.
'I will fulfill your wish, kid. Just keep cool till then.' Pablo said to himself and he finally felt his heart slowing down.
He exhaled a mouthful of breath and opened his eyes again.
'I am glad his part of the story ended.'
The mirror was now showing the story when Pablo took over Void's body.
The killing of Luke and his daughter, the burning of Freya, the meeting with Flashy and the morning Pablo encountered the five soldiers and how he killed them.
After that, his journey to the Ego Reserve was shown and how he came and stood in front of the Enchanted Mirror.
And that was the end of it. No further life of Void was shown in the mirror.
'It really showed my whole life here. How can it even do that? What is the technology behind it?' Pablo was curious about the mirror.
"As far as I know, someone had an Ego that can show other people their power and their whole life. That man created the first Enchanted Mirror and after that, someone who had an Ego that can replicate anything, created many copies of this Enchanted Mirror. I don't know if it's true or not." Cupid answered to her best abilities.
'It sounds true though. And another countdown has begun.'
The mirror was showing another countdown, this time the countdown began from 10.
"It's the final countdown. You will get your Ego after this."
'You can see the countdown?'
"No. But I know the process. And stop talking."
'Sure.' Pablo agreed with Cupid and focused only on the mirror.
The countdown went to 6 and after five more seconds, the mirror showed some words.
[ Your Ego is being decided… ]
[ Please Wait… ]
[ You, Void Grief lived a life of misery and poverty. All you wanted was a peaceful and healthy life with your sister. And that, my dear, is pathetic. ]
Pablo frowned. 'Why is it thinking I am that kid? I am not him.'
[ Taking your life into account, your Ego will be… ]
'I have a bad feeling about this.'
SHING!
The Enchanted Mirror finally showed Pablo's Ego Color and everyone darted their eyes on that.
Pablo's eyes went shut by the sudden bright glowing light from the mirror as he was the closest to that.
Everyone else, however, were looking at Pablo's mirror and it was not because they were interested in Pablo but because they were forced to watch that.
Cupid was staring at it too and all of them had their eyes wide open.
Pablo's eyes felt some light and he slowly opened them as well.
The first thing he saw was the mirror and his Ego color.
And after seeing that, his eyes went wide as well.
"Are you kidding me?"
He jerked his head at Cupid.
"I have no clue about this. But you are indeed special." Cupid could only say that.
Pablo then looked at everyone else and they had mixed reactions on their faces.
"I am not even sure if it's good or not." One man said.
"It's not a common occurrence, that's for sure." A woman spoke as well.
"Wait. Isn't he the same person who was shouting outside this place? Like 'About damn time'?" A man remembered Pablo.
"Yes. He is the same one." Someone else remembered him as well.
"Haha. So he was eager to come here and make us laugh. About damn time, kid."
"Hahahahaha!!"
A laughter riot spread in the entire plot number 9 as Pablo was mocked from everyone in the room.
All the soldiers were laughing as well and amidst the laughter, one laugh annoyed Pablo the most.
"Hahahaha. They gave you a new name. About damn time kid. Oh, goddess Alfida. Help me. Hahaha." It was Cupid. She was laughing her heart out.
Pablo clenched his jaw but Cupid had nothing to fear so she continued..
"What was that poem you sang before? Mirror Mirror in the hall, tell me who's the evilest of them all? Well, your grace, the mirror in the hall told you…"
Cupid stopped laughing and with a serene smile on her face, she finished saying…
"Who's the weakest of them all."
And that was the truth.
On Pablo's Enchanted Mirror, the color of his Ego that appeared was…
White—the Rarest and Weakest of them all.
