Stay in contact and move through together.

[Were they teleported again or is this room really here. Zelda hopes that can work there way through this.]

Can we try to break the mirrors?

[The grip on her sword tightened as her eyes took in the mirrors reflections.]

[shinrasfinest]

[Easier said than done when they really have no idea how far they are away from each other. Breaking the mirrors is the logical answer to Sephiroth but he doesn't want to hurt the others by sword swing or shattering glass.]

Don't. [It's calmly said but most certainly an order as he uses the plane of reflective surface on his right side to feel himself along the wall.]

Who knows what shattering the glass will do. Use the walls to feel around.

[kobatonotdobato]

[It didn't take long for the young woman to do as she was told, using her hands to trail along and find her way. The whole time her hands were kept on the mirrors.]

I'm moving along, I hope you find you all soon.

[goddessofthesky]

[Zelda drops her sword and reaches her free hand out to glide along the mirror as she walks.]

Will it be possible to stay in contact with each other?

[She doesn't know if the maze will turn or where she will move but she is determined to keep them together. With that woman's power it would be to unsafe for any of them to be alone.]

[empirenpcs]

[ Following her last words, Kobato will stop hearing Zelda and Sephiroth altogether. Likewise, she will no longer be seeing their reflections in the mirrors. However on the next turn she will see "Zelda"-- A fake looking and sounding identical to the real one. She holds the same sword the real Zelda had and approaches Kobato. ]

Kobato? Is that you?

[ Zelda and Sephiroth will be able to hear Kobato speak, but not the Fake Zelda. The reflection in the mirrors will disappear for couple seconds at regular intervals, except the real reflections-- Which may make it easier for them to reach other and hopefully, Kobato before it is too late. ]

[shinrasfinest]

Listen out for when we might get closer to each other. Keep talking.

[Sephiroth continues to feel his way along the wall, making turns in the mirrored maze where he finds them, turning back when he finds a dead end.

The he notices something, some of the reflections disappear every so often and as he pauses on the spot - taking moments to time the intervals.]

Look-

[He starts to take the direction cues, towards the reflections that stay rather than those that flicker out. Hopefully they will run into each other soon.]

[kobatonotdobato]

[Kobato stopped the moment she stopped hearing them and even worse she couldn't see them any more. This was enough to get her to panic slightly.]

Th-This isn't funny. Where did you go? [She slowly took a few more steps hoping she could get to them soon until she finally spotted one of them and didn't know that it wasn't real.]

Ah, Zelda-san. It's me, at least I think I'm me. [She said with a smile and a slight sigh of relief. That was good she had finally met up with someone, it meant there was only one more to go.]

We go get moving, but um... This place is very, very confusing, but I think we should go this way! [She pointed towards a random direction. That should be the right way, right?]

[goddessofthesky]

[Her eyes widen as she listens to her friend address her. She hasn't said anything nor has she heard anything.]

Kobato? What are you talking about?

[Zelda continues forward more urgently trying to get to her friend.]

I'll find you. Stay put. [She doesn't want to risk it anymore and it would be easier to find her if she isn't moving as well.]

[empirenpcs]

[ The fake Zelda lowered the sword and smiled to Kobato, stepping behind her. ]

I agree, we better find Sephiroth quickly. Please led the way.

[kobatonotdobato]

[She nodded before making her way, she hoped that she was going the right way and not just getting themselves so very lost again, which with Kobato would probably be rather normal.]

It's really hard to tell with all the mirrors as to where we're going but... I wonder where they came from, or how this all works.

[shinrasfinest]

[He thinks he's closest to where he can hear Zelda at least, coming to a stop at a junction again he needs to test it before making another choice on which way to go in the maze.]

Zelda? Kobato?

Move towards where you can hear me.

[He'll listen for any indication which way they may be.]

[goddessofthesky]

[Zelda listens carefully to his voice and walks over to it.]

Sephiroth?

[Her foot steps were light but she could still hear them as they echoed in the silence of the room.]

[empirenpcs]

[ The fake Zelda walked behind Kobato, preparing her sword as Kobato couldn't see her. She was silent up to a point. ]

... They came from me.

[ With this said, within the second the fake Zelda thrust her sword in an attempt to stab right through Kobato's back-- But because the fake Zelda spoke before going for the kill move, Kobato may be able to move out of the way but barely so. ]

[kobatonotdobato]

[Kobato slightly turned her head to ask about what she meant by what she just said and just managed to catch the sight of the sword coming towards her to get her to move. But it wasn't fast enough as the sword scraped her arm and side, causing her to fall against a mirror.

Slowly the young girl turned around, her staff now laying on the floor, her hand resting on her side. She didn't understand what was going on, but now she knew that wasn't Zelda. How could she be so dumb.]

Wh-Who are you?

[shinrasfinest]

[He was focused, listening out for Zelda as he felt his way along a mirrored wall that he's sure he heard her being just the other side of.

Then there was a distinctly different noise from somewhere behind and off to his other side.]

Tch-

[And then hearing Kobato he spun and tried to pick out what might be her real reflection to help guide him to her location.]

Kobato!

[goddessofthesky]

[She hears the shout and her heart races. If Kobato is in trouble she isn't going to sit around and do nothing. Zelda is sure she is close to both of them and that is the only reassurance she needs.

She brings her blade down on the mirror so that it would break the mirror without hurting anyone.

Zelda needs to get to her friends and nothing else matters as far as she is concerned.]

[empirenpcs]

[ When Kobato fell against the Mirror it shattered, but all other mirrors around remained the same and didn't seem disturbed. At the very least, the shattering mirror gave a very clear location of where Kobato was for the two others.

The woman didn't reply to Kobato, instead going to try and stab her Kobato once more-- Sephiroth and Zelda have a chance to reach Kobato in time, if they follow the mirror's example and break mirrors not to have and put up with the maze. ]
