Blank Reflection

The Story's Narrator
Our Hero gazes into their reflection, and sees…a fog. Interesting. We can't tell if we're identical, parallel, or completely different. But there were matters of far greater concern. Anonymous gifts addressed to Tara are hidden around the castle. They could be completely harmless, or turn the gala into a crater. Our Hero and their friends split up to track the gifts down, and escort the guests to safety.

Historically, galas like these haven't gone well for me.

Identity
Straight to the point. That's a good quality to have, so let me figure out a good way to word this. I had my own story, and it ended one day, as they tend to do. All of a sudden, I found myself in the lead-up to yours. When all the pieces and people were moved where they needed to be, I took my leave. This is a special occasion. The kind that needs a little help from an audience member like me. I'll do my best to narrate this Frostval fable.

Friends
It's nice to see Serenity laughing and smiling like she used to. Even Lady Celestia came all the way out. Galanoth's always so busy, but he made time to join the party. You must be close. Will Warlic be coming? I guess that's too much to ask for, especially if he's going through a certain 'phase.' How about this? "Warmth filled the halls, and every fancy dish tasted delicious. The friends our Hero didn't see tonight would greet them tomorrow."

Differences
Maybe Robina's always destined for the throne, but King Alteon and Princess Brittany are gone. I'm glad she's so close to Tara, who looks shockingly blue! Let me flip back a couple of chapters…Oh. It's been tough for both of them, huh? Understatement of the era. Hm. She, Artix, and Galanoth are Elemental Champions. Are the Avatars in power here? Or is it the pantheon that The Chosen is used to?

The Story's Narrator
Noxus and Sally unknowingly brought a dangerous Doom Spirit into the castle. A being who meticulously planned our Hero's downfall long before their current form was born. It may not have possessed its intended vessel, but it prepared for this situation. Our Hero must catch The Unsung before it escapes with Queen Victoria!

The Unsung gazes into the cold night as Queen Victoria's new eyes. It's preparing to escape! Our Hero manages to catch up just as they're about to step off the ledge. Hurry! If you can subdue Victoria, I can eject that Doom Sprit out of her body!

"Despite her insistence, the Hero resolved to find Queen Victoria without Serenity's help. It hurts her feelings, but the Innkeeper's safety would be guaranteed this way…" is what I should be getting in writing. We can't risk another dark winter, but Serenity should get to make her own choices. Tara and Galanoth think so. You have more power than I did. It must be hard sometimes, letting friends make their own decisions and mistakes.

After completing the 'I'm With You in the Dark' quest:

The Story's Narrator
"Our Heroes quietly arrived at the hidden Necropolis. The Unsung's forces were ready for them. It won't be easy, but one way or another, Victoria will return home." Let's make that a promise. We'll make sure everyone gets home safe and sound.

Talk
Even if nothing happens next Frostval, I'd still be on edge the entire time. You'd feel the same? Good thing we're both good at hiding it.

The Unsung
The Doom Spirit that possessed Queen Victoria must be reeling from how different this World is. In a story that no longer exists, they waged wars against Dragons, and drove them out of a continent. I don't think they feel strongly about the feat itself. The fact that it was overwritten because of the whole timeline fusion deal is what's fueling their rage. They were robbed, and there has to be payback — which isn't fair. You never intended this.

The Angel
In my story, the Angel of Azaveyr was the Unsung's original partner. She was a Dragonslayer who drove Dragons out of her home after a betrayal. She's in your story somewhere, but I hope she won't be the same as how I remember her. After all, Azaveyr itself is…I won't spoil the surprise. Though, here's one hint. People in this World seem to like traveling a lot. They'll find you before you find them…Wait, I made that sound really scary.

Pages
Being out here, where there's actual colors and shapes, makes me feel like myself again. It's a treat, but overstaying my welcome is rude. The Unsung barged into your story uninvited. I'm just here to make sure they don't make a huge mess of things. Yeah, this is all crazy vague, I get it…but maybe that's the fun of it. Hey. Could you dream up a nice place for me to return to? It could conjure a real picture between the pages instead of blank space.

Give Victoria a moment to recover, then we'll find a safe spot for Serenity and pull back those curtains. The Unsung's true form is out in the open, "And it shivers in the brightness of your light." How's that? Too cheesy. Way too cheesy.

The mirror's reflection is completely blank, and voices in your memory of this Frostval begin to blend together. You remember how you saved the day, but who guided the way? For just a moment, you hear their voice again. "Still thinking of me? I tend to get more…whimsical when I'm back in the audience. Can I ask you a favor? Put an extra stocking up for me. If I wish hard enough, maybe we'll adventure side-by-side next time."
