Ash-boss
A Thousand Stories: The Shadow of the Mirror

Laras had just laid his body on a mattress in his room. He threw the bag he had just carried and hugged the pillow for a moment.

Immediately realizing herself, the girl immediately threw away the pillow and went back into the room next to her. He turned on the room lamp next to the pink mattress. Staring at the entire room, then turning his gaze towards the side.

Where the mirror is showing the shadow of his body which is covered in black shadows from the waist to the top of his head. He approached his reflection in the mirror. Appearing the same sweet smile as the reflection reflected by the side of the mirror.

"How are you?!" muttered the girl.

He turned to look behind him. Appearing a black shadow that suddenly billowed to form a shadow like a human form without a face and a clear form whether it is a female or male figure.

"Why are you doing this?!" ask the shadow calmly.

"Punishment for you!" he smiled happily with satisfaction.

"Punishment?" that figure looks confused. "What punishment?! What have I done to you?!"

"That fellow.." the girl immediately stared in annoyance. "Your presence really bothers me!!!"

The hand was thrown rough. Throwing a puff of blackish smoke that resembled a needle, the sound of broken window glass instantly echoed filled the room.

The black shadow figure that now looks like a human form remains unmoved from its place. He stared straight at her even though he did not show any form of eyes on the figure she was now displaying.

"Then what do you get by doing all this?!"

"Look, what can I do from tomorrow!"

The girl challenged the figure before her. His gaze seemed unusual towards the figure who was now trying to touch him.

"Stop that thing!!"

"terminated it?" the girl in front of the shadow figure resembling a human form grinned. "If you can do it!"

He threw his hand back. Ejected a flash of purplish lightning and threw it at the figure before him. The lightning snatched and tied every inch of the figure before him. But the figure remained unmoved.

A second after, the shadowy figure like a human being without a face and without a clear form, disappeared from view. Make the shadow of the girl sitting upset by beating the mattress that sat on her many times.

"It sucks!" snapped it.

This time the thing he did made the flickering lights that lit in the room then go out. Leave the darkest darkness after a puff of black smoke comes out of the girl and drifts across the 3x4 m room.

Slowly the leg was covered by black smoke that engulfed the entire contents of the room. Make it appear to float on the dimensions indicated by a black smoke plume coming out of the girl's body.

Meanwhile on a red brick path, Aksara was sighing for the umpteenth time. Beside Aksara walked a young soul who looked at her in wonder.

"Do you have a problem?" ask the girl.

"Come away!"

Aksara responded after covering his glare eyes due to the sunlight that interjected on the branches of trees along the path of the red brick.

"Then can I ask you something?" tanyanya returned with the same courtesy as she first showed.

"Of course you can," Aksara answered again. "What do you want to ask?"

The young man focused his attention on the figure of the girl who was now smiling kindly.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

That question made Aksara pause for a moment. He looked back at the girl carefully.

"I've liked you since first sight!" said the girl again innocently.

Increasingly confused by what had happened before him, Aksara momentarily stopped his steps. Look up at the sky and show an expressionless face.

"Do you not believe the things I say?" the girl was really frank. Making Aksara finally smile freely.

"You want me to explain?"

The girl in front of him smiled even brighter.

"Do you know how that feels?"

Aksara looked at the girl's eyes casually. After all, Aksara thought she would only meet once with this soul she delivered. Such is the destiny of the soul that passes through the path of the red brick. A one-time opportunity to let go of all the remaining burdens of life that are still carried by each soul.

"It was a pleasant feeling!" said the girl.

He bowed and kicked the air in front of him.

"And that feeling only happens once in your life...."

"One time?" Aksara.

"Yes! Just one time." The girl looked up cheerfully. "That feeling only appears once in every human life! Like the feeling I feel for you!"

Aksara was silent again. Then gently pat the head of the girl in front of him which makes the girl's face reddened.

"Thank you!"

The girl smiled with tears dripping down one end of her eyes. Happiness overflows. Gives a very warm atmosphere on the path of red bricks.

The breezy wind blew away some golden red leaves and some lily petals of the valley floated before the Aksara along with the disappearance of the soul figure she ushered in this street.

The characters are again smiling. His feelings suddenly warmed up like the place he was treading.

"Dramatic!"

Eren's figure opens his maroon-red hood and looks around the streets of red brick that has long not presented such a warm view.

"Every soul is precious!" answer the script.

But it's a reality. Every soul is something precious to life. Every soul has its destiny, its life choices, and every soul has an equal chance at improving its life.

"How's it?"

The characters respond to other things that are thought of by them. He seemed ordinary after being caught with a situation that could be said to be too melow for a man.

"I can't find her anywhere!"

"Where did the black shadow bring Rein!"

"How is that possible?!" mumbling Eren.

Eren turned back his memories. Recalling the form of a formless black shadow that plagued him then made him have to lose Rein right in front of his eyes.

"Why has Rein's soul been untraceable from then on?!"

Eren and Aksara stared at each other. The faces of the two were instantly solemn and threw an attack at the dark cloud clump that appeared abruptly behind the two young men's figures. With a flash of purplish-colored lightning twitching around the dark cloud, both Eren and Aksara's attacks instantly disappeared.

Both of them finally faced towards the dark cloud. Prepare for movement and other attacks in case the figure of a dark cloud cloud suddenly strikes.

"I want to kill you!" the voice came out with a tone of anger. A voice that sounded like the sound of a round of cassette tapes that had been broken, hoarse, echoed, with a stereo that made the sound sound quite creepy.

Eren and Aksara prepare. Putting on a gaze that was ready to dispel whatever attacked him. But before he could make an attack, the clattering of lily flower clusters of the valley disturbed the hearing of the two. Breaking the silence and warmth that had occurred in the valley and brought a gust of golden-red leaves around the dark cloud and disappeared from the sight of the two young men along with the collapse of all the small noise that had happen.

Once again, Eren and Aksara exchanged glances. Trying to reach towards the disappearance of the dark cloud, the two young men were sucked and fell into one of the rooms of the house that Laras and Rein lived in.

"Why should we be here?!" say both at the same time.
