🪞Ceremony Breaking🪞 (Updated)

You four stood outside the entry way of the Mirror Chamber. The proud carved timber standing tall before your group. Just as imposing as the rest of the building. Outside your field of view, many students were gathered behind the closed wooden entrance. Voices belonging to young men slid their ways through the wood grains and cracks to your ears. Discussing some sort of topic you have yet to fully figure out.

A Red Headed Boy spoke, "We're done with orientation and dorm assignments? All right, new students - let me be clear. At Heartslabyul House, I am the law. Break the rules, and it's off with your head!"

Then a slightly older young man with Lion ears spread his jaws to exhale a drowsy yawn, exhibiting just how dull he found this whole fiasco to be. "Well, that ceremony was as boring as ever. I'm going back to the dorm. If you're in Savanaclaw House, follow me."

"New students! Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your achievement. As dorm leader of Octavinelle House, I am honored to have the opportunity to support you in what I hope will be a fulfilling campus experience." Soon, the male with glasses enthusiastically said.

Afterward, a man defined as absolutely handsome by the masses then spoke up, "Hey, does anyone know where the Headmage went? He disappeared midway through the ceremony..."

"Some Headmage he is." A floating tablet mumbled close by. The voice coming out with a small bit of static through the speaker.

Then a boy with red eyes joined the conversation. Speaking with a tone in slight worry, "Maybe he had a tummy ache?"

Crowley busted through the doors with such eccentrics, it could rival a theater kid that believes their whole life is a stage performance and they must be in the spot light at all times. Announcing his presence with vigor, "I most certainly did not!" Dire made his way down and open isle between students with confidence in each step. A still wrapped up Grim dragging across the floor behind him. Following close behind was you. Yuu following in toe, nearly pressed against your side with how close he walked beside you.

The read headed boy began to mumble under his breath with a hint of dread, "Ah, speak of the devil."

"If you must know, I was searching for the new students who'd failed to show for orientation. You are the only ones who has yet to be assigned a dorm. Step up to the Dark Mirror, and be quick about it. I'll watch your weasel."

"Grrrrr!" Grim growled against the leather whip between his teeth. Keeping his body completely bound still.

"Stay at the base of these steps Yuu. I'll identify the safety. Seeing as I can take much more damage than you." You stated firmly before moving forward. As you stepped up the small flight of steps, Yuu had reached out. He was still frightened. You seemed to be the only trustworthy and rational adult at this time. The sudden depart from his side left him anxious.

Cautiously, you approached the framed reflective surface. Inside was a white theater mask with black inky lace detailing. Decorating the area around its eyes like a masquerade mask. Green fire burning without any sight of going out behind it. The mouth moved unnervingly. Animated in a way that you knew plastic or any type of hard material should be unable to move in. "State your name." Came a voice from within the mirror. It seemed to echo. Coming from no place in particular, but coming from everywhere else as well. Filling your mind and ears.

"Y/n. That is what you may call me."

There was silence for what felt like an eternity. Why had the mirror gone silent? Suddenly, a deafening shatter boomed out within the room. A large crack had appeared in the mirror. Then came another. And another... Loud screeches and yelps were exclaimed by students. Even Crowley had been guilty of a small scream. Everyone was in complete and utter shock. Some even falling back due to a trip. Landing with a harsh thud on their behinds.
