In more ways than one.

Blair let out a breath, heading into the alleyway, behind the 35th police station, alone. To Blair's dismay, Zane put a stop to Nora's plan to help. Her mind running over what Zane had told Nora back at the mansion.

Back at the mansion roughly an hour ago, according to Blair's memory.

Zane spoke, quite sternly. "There have simply been too many attacks recently. We cannot allow one of our healers to run off whenever they like, not at a time like this. I know you want to help your girlfriend, but we need you more. I cannot allow you to leave." He had touched Nora's shoulder before continuing to speak, a slight hint of sympathy heard within his words. "Don't worry your pretty head, Nora. I will send Skyler Wulff, he is quite skilled. So long as he is near, it would be difficult for anyone to harm Blair.".

Reality setting back in within that alleyway.

Blair didn't get a chance to meet Skyler Wulff, but had a feeling he would only show himself when needed. Blair's mind was returning to that moment she had with Ellinor, which was rather distracting. She really needed to focus on her surroundings, in a place like this she could easily be jumped or worse, cornered. Her worse nightmare became reality when she read the following notification.

You have been pulled into an Illusion Barrier: Master Tong's Mirror.

Entry and Exit are not allowed for the next 15 minutes.

She was still in the same alleyway, but there was a tall mirror in front of her. She was a little confused, only seeing her reflection, but after a moment the image slowly began to warp itself. For what felt like a brief eternity, a twisted version of herself stood within that mirror. What shocked her most was the sclera's of her eyes had turned black, and the irises had turned blood red. Her hair had been pulled back into a ponytail, her clothing had changed to a black suit of armor, covering her from her neck down, a helmet held with her left hand, her other hand holding the hilt of a rather huge two handed sword, its blade was planted into the ground. Several piles of corpses laid behind her while a bone dragon flew in the background. With all this going on, several men and women were worshiping her feet. Once she tore her eyes from her mirrored visage, she could see the sky behind her mirrored self was dark, it felt almost torn, like the sun itself had been ripped from it. A rather ominous voice came from her mirrored visage. "Oh, don't look at it like that. This power you could wield for me, Blair Mitchell is quite impressive." A chuckle rang through the air. "So much potential, and that fool Zane can't see it. Just like he couldn't imagine that I survived." The mirrored visage smiled playfully, making Blair feel a little sick to her stomach. "Join me, and all this and more, could easily be yours." A notification popped up.

Join Master Tong by hitting Accept or Decline and Stay with the Balance of Fate.

Accepting will have the following changes.

- Lose all of your ties to the Balance of Fate

- Nora will no longer be your girlfriend

- My disappointment for becoming a follower and making bad choices.

- Lusserina will be upset, but will still be your slut.

Reward: $6.66 and Master Tong as your Ally.

Declining will have the following changes.

- Lose Master Tong as a possible Ally, for now.

- Nora will be happier with you.

- My approval for not being a follower or making bad choices.

- Eh, Lusserina will probably not find out about this.

Reward: $7.77 and a Hearthstone

Accept or Decline?

She lifted a brow, quickly hitting decline, not wasting a moment to read it. She scoffed, "As if I need you. I will do things my own way. Thanks, but no thanks." There was only a moment of pause before a soft sigh was heard from the mirrored visage. "Have it your way. Enjoy what little time you have left with your friends. Zane's Balance of Fate will not last long, I promise. As for Aisha, well, enjoy your fuck toy once again. She is not worth my time." A snapping sound was heard through the air, the mirror shattered before her as did the world around her, she covered her ears and closed her eyes for a moment. What would she find when she opened her eyes? Hopefully for her, it was something or someone who was friendly.
