[ WP ] There 's a special mirror that shows people either the best or the worst version of themselves they can become .

`` But what if that's the best version of myself?'' I stared into the Mirror, looking at a future me, a future that I did not want. `` What if the worse version of myself is, well, something even more terrible?'' 
 
 The Guardian of the Mirror did not speak, he simply stood there, his robes covering his entire body. He just stared at me, taking a full look at me before glancing at the mirror. 
 
 `` What if I ca n't stop *that*?'' I said looking into the mirror, looking into my future. 
 
 The Guardian took a step forward towards me and stared down at me, for the first time I could see his eyes. They were glowing a bright white as if they'd been replaced by stars themselves. He stared at me and I stared back, for what seemed like hours we did not take our eyes off each other. Until he turned around and stared into the Mirror as well, for the first time since my arrival, he spoke. 
 
 `` The Mirror does not tell you if it is the best or worst version of yourself,'' his voice was stern, but solemn, `` it is your job to figure that out. Based on your past decisions, based on who you are now.'' He took a deep breath and placed his hand on my shoulder, `` When I first looked into the Mirror, it showed me with immense wealth, with influence and power that I could have never dreamed of.'' The Guardian took a step forward, taking his hand off the my shoulder and approaching the Mirror. `` But here I am, defending the Mirror that showed me my wrong-doings. Here I am, pledging my life to the preservation of the Mirror.'' 
 
 `` And what if I do n't know?'' 
 
 `` Well, that's the question now is n't it? That you do n't know because the Mirror demands it. That you must figure it out.'' 
 
 I looked at the Guardian in front of me and questioned how he got to where he was. How did he know to turn away from the path the Mirror showed him? How did he know to leave the wealth and power behind? How did he know to become this Guardian? 
 
 `` Guardian,'' I murmured, `` this is greater than me.'' 
 
 The Guardian turned and his hood tilted to the side, he was obviously confused. 
 
 `` The future I see, it shows the destruction of this, of all of this. Of the world you and I both know.'' 
 
 The Guardian approached me, `` And the Mirror?'' 
 
 `` What?'' 
 
 `` Where is the Mirror in this destruction?'' 
 
 I looked behind the Guardian and into the Mirror once more, it showed me a future. A future where the world was ending and I was on top of the ashes. A future where the Mirror laid cracked at my feet, a future where the Guardians laid dead and gone. 
 
 I looked back at the Guardian in front of me, his white eyes seemed to have grown into a furious red, as if the stars that were in there were exploding in fear and chaos. `` It stands with me,'' I said, doing my best to keep my composure. `` The Guardians of the Mirror stand at my side.'' 
 
 The Guardian's hood straightened out and he looked at me, his eyes cooling off. He stood there for a few moments before kneeling down at my feet, `` Then the Mirror has shown you the Guardian's future as well, for where the Mirror goes, we must follow. The Mirror has decided our fate, as well as yours.'' I simply stood there, hoping that this Guardian believed my lie, hoping that he could n't see through me. The Guardian looked up at me, his eyes pulsing, `` We can not see the Future anymore, but you have told us.'' The Guardian knelt his down, `` The Guardian's of the Mirror pledge our lives to you. From this day,'' the Guardian looked back up, `` until the end of our days.'' 
 
 I nodded and placed my hand on his shoulder, `` And I will lead you. I will lead us to the future.''
