🪞 Mirrored Souls

In the city of Lunareth, no one dreams alone. Every mirror reflects not only one’s image, but the echo of another soul — a twin born in the dream-realm known as the Veil. When the mirrors begin to crack, people wake screaming, their reflections missing. Eira Venn, a young illusionist, earns her living crafting enchanted mirrors that hold fragments of memory. Her magic allows her to glimpse the other side for a heartbeat at a time. But one night, her newest mirror shatters before her eyes, and from its shards steps Aren Vale, her reflection — alive, breathing, and impossibly real. Aren claims to be her other self, the half she lost to the Veil at birth. He remembers every dream she’s forgotten, every secret she tried to hide. Yet the more they speak, the more she senses something different — warmth, desire, humanity. He’s not a perfect reflection anymore; he’s becoming something else. As the Veil weakens, mirrors all over Lunareth begin to bleed light. The line between worlds dissolves, and both sides start collapsing. Only Eira and Aren can mend the fracture, but doing so means one must return — body and soul — to the realm of glass. Every word between them feels like déjà vu. Every touch leaves light on their skin. Two hearts, one reflection. Only one can remain.
