[and as soon as she touches the glass, the background behind the dragon ripples away to another scene entirely, and the room that she's theoretically still standing in takes second place to everything on the other side of the mirror.

because the monster is much bigger than the reflection had first made it seem. it's roughly the size of a three-story building, and it literally seethes power. this beast is plugged into the bones and blood of the earth, a literal font for all the energies of death, poison, and decay. the light in its eyes, flickering in the depths of its throat, and wisping out like smoke along its skin is where this energy literally overflows.

there is this abstract sort of certainty that this one creature has the ability to cause an event that would make a mark in history books... and there are many here. as it charges forward to leap over the heads of the soldiers before it, gliding low over whole ranks of them, the forms of other great beasts can be seen in the distance.

despite the darkness and the smoke, it's clear that this land hasn't seen a war like this in centuries, and with how directly tapped into death this creature is, the girl connected to the mirror can feel as clearly as it does, exactly how many lives are being lost.

it doesn't take long until the dragon finds a group of infantry that have already been wounded. they're weak and struggling. death is already at their heels, so all the beast needs to do is swoop in, let the latent, lethal energy breathe out, and help them all on their way.]


--If you wanted an excuse to admire yourself in the mirror, you could have just asked.
