The golden light grew stronger, spreading through the void like a new sunrise breaking the darkness.
The shards trembled violently, their edges blurring as streams of radiant energy linked them together. One by one, they began to merge, lines of ancient runes igniting along their surfaces.
The hum grew louder. It wasn't just sound. It was a vibration that reached into my Essence, resonating with something primal within me. I could feel it in my bones, in my Psynapse.
"Everyone, fall back!" I shouted.
But before anyone could move, the merged shards exploded outward, sending a blinding pulse of energy through the void. I threw up my arm to shield my eyes as the shockwave hit. The Essence around us rippled, and for a moment, gravity itself seemed to falter. But there was no power behind the shockwave, it passed like a ripple.
When the glare dimmed, the mirror floated whole.
