" Oh, I wouldn't mind. But it'd be awkward to make a habit of it," the figure explained, almost apologetic. He gave Thackery's head a little pat. "When you leave this place...come find me. Gather the other Key Bearers and find me. It's been so long...one is a knight...named Jason. Find him first." The pixels began to flicker and darken and fall more rapidly, gently raining down aponto Thackery's shoulders and spilling onto the ground. "Oh dear," he sighed and abruptly fell apart completely.

The dracolich watched as the glass became as pliant as water, only much darker. He was intrigued. "Thackery, you have to tell me how you learned to do this." Aymet pressed on through the mirror, unfazed.

A pale reaper with black hair and eyes that snapped with power and rage and vicious, unending hunger turned to look at Aymet. There was nothing around him, around either. It was a void but for the two of them. In the corner of his vision, the reaper turned into a staff. Into a throne. Into a school. It was, undoubtedly, Professor Emrys. It was, undeniably, something else all together. "This door should be locked to you," the Professor intoned. "This door was locked to me. Who did this?"

This was fair, Thackery thought, already feeling just fine with the state of things even before the Prince pat him on the head. He didn't want to make a habit of being kissed on the hand, but a pat! Prince Mordred wanted to make a habit of petting him!Dutifully, he listened to the instructions - of course he listened - and couldn't find it in himself to feel distressed as the image of his Prince fell apart. He rubbed two gathered handfuls of the disassembled pixels on his face, then collapsed onto the floor to roll back and forth like a dog in the scattered mess of them, laughing from the sheer joy of it.

Whatever Aymet had been expecting on the other side of the mirror, it wasn't this.The dracolich had only seconds to look around, time enough for the reaper's form to twist and shift the moment he began to look away. The place was empty. There was nothing and no one else here but them. And on closer inspection, the seemed familiar. They looked exactly like one of Aymet's professors. Strange. But very interesting. "I don't know, Thackery did some kind of mirror magic." Aymet shrugged. "Well, it's unlocked now."

"Thaaaaackery...interesting," the figure mused. "You'll do well to stick close to that one. Betrayal must be waking up." The darkness begins to turn... sticky. Attaching itself to Aymet with every motion. "It's a pity that you were the one to cross...our Queen is so much more effective in these situations."

Aymet took a step forward, then another, the darkness beginning to weave its way around him. He might as well have been an insect in comparison with all that Emrys seemed to truly be. But he wasn't going to stand down from a challenge like that. Aymet spread his arms loosely in front of him, and every wickedly curved claw he'd used to part hunters with their lives. "Oh yeah? Try me."

"No." The darkness swallowed him. "Not you..." It shifted and twisted at the core of Aymet, a strange echo of Hunter's weaponization. "...him."The darkness took form and the Black King stood before the one whose legacy he was chosen to bear. "Your window of power will be brief."

It looked like Thackery wouldn't have a hard time of finding the 'knight', as with a sudden yelp he fell onto the floor in front of him, in full hunter gear, gasping for breath as he laid shivering, the adrenaline wearing off. It took a few minutes for Jason to calm down enough to notice he wasn't alone, and that the other person was rolling around on the ground. "...H-huh?" He sat up, hair frazzled and looking a little disheveled. "W-w-where am I n-now?"

A good half hour seems to pass, time enough for the two to talk, but Reflection isn't the power behind the encroaching world, isn't the only reaping memories to new purpose. And so the exit sign slowly fades. The closet slowly fades, leaving the two in darkness with only a glowing, Return sign facing them. And then even that is gone. They each wake up alone in fog. They wake up in different worlds once more, both returning to their own kind and exchanging places. Quote: gaia_star Go HERE and post SECRET BOSS LOOT as your claim.
