The Forging of the Obsidian Mirror

In the dim glow of flickering oil lamps, deep within the sacred halls of Themiscyria, 1215 BCE, a young Azura, merely twelve years old, sits at an ancient stone table. Her golden hair catches the firelight, her piercing blue eyes locked in unwavering focus as she prepares to weave arcane knowledge and lost sciences into the creation of the legendary Obsidian Mirror.

To her right, a Babylonian sage, clad in robes embroidered with the constellations, watches with quiet wisdom, a clay tablet inscribed in cuneiform resting before him. Across from her, an Egyptian priestess, adorned in intricate gold jewelry and lined with the kohl of the Nile, holds sacred papyrus scrolls detailing the magic of the Duat, the realm where past and future intertwine. Beside her, a Chinese mystic, draped in midnight silks, traces luminous symbols in the air, whispering secrets of the cosmic balance necessary to bind the mirror’s power.
