• Yet, in the clash of titans, a new champion will rise, destined to become its master.

Obsidian Mirror

In the core of the ancient tomb, shrouded in shadow, lay a curious reflecting surface. Its borders were molded from obsidian, a volcanic rock that absorbed light in a way utterly unnerving to behold. Legend murmured of its wonders, claiming it could hide the truth hidden within the spirit of any who dared look into its polished surface.
