Golden Age had convinced Nightshade to take him in the Everfree, insearch of something called the "Mirror Pool". The main reason was pure boredom and curiosity. Locals said it was barricaded off to prevent further "accidents".
There was one problem however, when they finally did discover the hole, the large boulder that was said to be blocking the entrance was nowhere to be found. "Oh fer Celestia's sake lad!" Golden Age said, seeing Nightshade shake at the unknown. "Yer actin' like a sheep that seen a fox! Dinnae fret, what e'r moved it is lang gane now. If ye ain' gang, I'm gang!" he said, walking in.
He walked in to see a large pool, it had a reflection that was almost too clear to be real. He sat on the edge, staring in awe-that was until a growl interrupted him. Unknown to him until than, some creature had been hiding in the corner. It had a mask split in half, one side bearing a plus, the other bearing a minus. Its other features were of little differentiation.
Before the Lieutenant could even react, it shot a red beam of magic at him. Golden Age felt like he was going to be split in half. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself-or what rather was the opposite of himself. The imposter wore a frock coat made of Jean-Wool, his eyes were red. "I'll be back for you" he said menacingly, pushing the Lieutenant out of the way before running out of the cave. When Golden Age reached the top, he saw figure running deeper into the Everfree.
Nightshade, get yer arse back to camp! There's demons in these woods!"
Nightshade and him ran back to camp as fast as they could.
