The Final Question

[Dark Link]

The teen opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Her mind had failed to formulate a proper response to what she had just learned. In fact, she wasn't certain what would even qualify as an appropriate reaction to such a revelation.

Though the girl could not have even begun to imagine who might have brought her to that place, she had at least anticipated that it was someone she had known at some point or another. After all, it didn't make much sense to her that one would be summoned by a complete stranger. But no matter how hard she thought about it, the names 'Link' or 'Kiln' didn't ring any bells. Lyra found herself utterly stumped. She had thought that the answer would finally give closure to the matter that had plagued her thoughts for so long. Instead, it merely served to raise a myriad of other questions.

Stuttering, the archer was unable to decide which one to ask next. Forcing herself to finally say something semi-coherent, she blurted out the first thing she could: "M-mirror image?...Wh-what do you mean? Like, did this person pop out of a magic mirror?"
