The mirror of truth

"Gem, we shouldn't stay here. It's sickening." Said Plain-Walker. "What do you say about a mountain trek to help us settle down?"

"...........Okay.........."

"This is Ugers Throne, the biggest mountain inn the world. Some say if you go up far enough, you can ask the celestial that is said to live there anything, and it will give you an answer!" Said Plain-Walker. "Now, feel ready to hike?"

Their journey was much longer then Birch's, but just as uneventful. after four days of hiking, they came across a hut, inside were three beds, a room full of food, and a stairway.


"We'll stay here for a time, and then we'll go up." Said Plain-Walker.

The next day they went up. First Jue, then Gem, and then Plain-Walker.

When Gem reached the top, she found herself in a forest of diamonds, amethyst, and emeralds. A path led to a great temple of jade. As Gem made her way to the entrance, Jue appeared, and beckoned her to follow.


As they made their way through the many halls, they came before a giant room, in the center a mirror stood, within a seemingly endless cycle of color twisted within itself.


Jue motioned for gem to stay where she was, and then she went before the mirror.


What Gem then saw was unearthly, to say the least.
