There was a mirror, a big lone mirror in the center of the room, surrounded by floating coffins. The next thing happen, smoke surrounded the mirror, making it show green flames from the reflection. And then.......there was a voice, a man's voice.

Ah, my lovely Lord,

The noble and beautiful flower of evil,

You are the most beautiful, number one in this world.

The voice said as the figure slowly walks towards the mirror with the flames still showing.

ーMirror, mirror on the wall, who's the most...

The figure stopped, the flames disappeared and what shows next in the mirror was a hand of the man who was talking.

ーFor thee, guided by the Mirror of Darkness,

Follow thy heart and take the hand of the one reflected in the mirror.

Flames that turn even stars into ashes,

Ice that imprison even time,

Great tree that swallow even the sky,

Don't be afraid of the power of darkness,

Come now, show your power.

Mine, theirs, and yours,

There's only little time left for us.

Do not let go of that hand, at all costs.

Tick.....Tock

Tick.....Tock

Tick.....Tock

That's was the only sound that was heard, all around was clock gears. Large/medium/small, heavy/light, gold/silver/bronze, together/apart, a pendulum moving from side to side and a ticking sound as a shadow of giant clock hands were moving. They're weren't any doors to the human eye can see, it was seem that there was no entrance or exit.

 Tick.....Tock

Tick.....Tock

Tick.....CLANG!

"RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A new sound was heard, a sound of chains being tugged that was making that unsettling noise, blocking the ticking with the rattling noise. Then there was a shout, an vicious one that would make a person cower in fear. The one who was doing that was a girl (ignore the tentacles), bounded in chains and growling at the hooded figures in front of her, some were scare to go near as others were worried.

Then the sound of foot steps was heard, the hooded figures moved away for the hooded figure  to walk through and headed towards the chained up girl. The girl saw that the person was coming to her and let out another vicious scream and tugged in the chains more, making the rattling noise even more. Walking to the girl, the hooded figure lifted their hand as the sleeve moved showing a key and aimed it on the girls forehead where the keyhole was. The girl was struggling to break free from the restraints as the key was getting closer, next thing she knew, she stood still as the key was inserted in the keyhole, her eyes shrunk in either fear or shock as the sound of the ticking was heard again.

The hooded person who still was holding the key, looked at the girl and saw tears were rolling down from her eyes as they changed back from their normal color and back to the color that they see now, her lips were trembling as whimpers could be heard from her. The hooded person knew that she was still in there and was crying out for help, not one thought was ending a girl's life cause of the state she is in now, they weren't a killer, but a saver.

And with that..................they turned the key.

They key glowed a golden color and enveloped the girl, who let out a scream as more tears rolled on her cheeks. The golden light then glowed brighter, making the other hooded figures turn away, so that they wouldn't be blinded. As the light dimmed, the figured looked to see that girl was back to normal and fallen unconscious as the black ink slowly faded away off her skin. To their relief, they headed over to check on her to see if she's okay as the hooded figure slowly unchained her and carried her bridal style. The girl was sleeping peacefully as the hooded figure moved a strand of hair from her face behind her ear.

"Will she be okay?"

"I hope it didn't injure her?"

"What's going to happen to Hibiki?"

"Will that happen to us?"

"What will if your not here, if this happens again?"

"Everyone, please." a woman's voice was heard from the hooded figure who was holding the sleeping girl in a hushed tone. "We must be quiet so we won't wake her up, she needs to rest."

"But..." one of the hooded figures started. "What will happen to Hibiki?"

The woman looked at the hooded person and back at Hibiki deep in thought, wondering on what to do next. Before she could speak a new sound was heard, getting everyone's attention and what they saw was a horse pulling a carriage with only a coffin inside. "An Ebony Carriage?" the woman said in shock. "What's that doing here?"

The horse slowly walked towards the woman, pulling the carriage along with it as the hooded figures looked at it with different expressions. It then stops in front of the woman and leaned forward and nudged the girl in her arms, making her groan a bit and stir a little in her sleep.

'It....it wants Hibiki?' the woman thought in shock as the horse moved to show the carriage and the coffin now open, waiting for the woman to put the sleeping girl in. "........."

"Master?" one the hooded figures said wonder what she's going to do.

The woman slowly walks up to the carriage and looked at the coffin. She thought for a moment and took a breath and let out a sigh then looked at the sleeping girl. "Hibiki.....I know what happened to you wasn't your fault." she said and placed her in the coffin. She then pulled out a pair of two key and placed them in Hibiki's hands and kissed the girls forehead, making her smile. "I do hope that you can make friends to where your going."

        The lid slowly closed itself and horse let out a neigh and rushed out, heading towards it destination with the girl. The hooded figures looked at the Ebony Carriage getting smaller and smaller and finally it was gone, wishing Hibiki good luck to where she's going.

"Master." one of the hooded figures said tugging on the woman's hood, gaining her attention and the hooded figure pointed at the ground where Hibiki was chained.

"Hmm?" The woman looked down to see a black stone on the floor with the broken chains, she carefully picked it up with a cloth in hand and looked at it in concern and looked at the direction with the Ebony Carriage had left. 'Please be okay my child.'
