"Dear diary,
I'm writing this to document my studies into the mirror by which I have been transfixed for so long. It seems like a normal mirror to the untrained eye, but despite my best efforts, it simply won't break. I've been doing some studying into the nature of the mirror, or more specifically, the nature of the symbols that surround it. They don't all have the same origin nor come from the same language. Some of the symbols are Greek, some are merely Latin writing, and some are merely circles with symbols drawn in. It doesn't make much sense as to why someone would decorate the enter outside of the mirror with symbols from so many different cultures, unless of course they wanted to ensure only a select few could decode them.
The symbols around the mirror have a purpose, I can feel it. They're there for a reason, as if someone wanted to keep something out, or something in. In all of my studies I've never seen a mirror like this one, not with the kind of circle of protection it has on its outer rim. Some of the symbols are occult in nature as well, symbols of protection and longevity, some of sealing. The words all seem to go together, but the nature of what they say is what bothers me. The way they're written, they spell out nonsensical words, ones that don't make any sense when used in context. Perhaps they're meant to keep the mirror from breaking? I am curious as to what will happen if I say them aloud, as I haven't even been able to write them down just yet. It seems as though there are a total of four symbols on the mirror, and each of them something different.
The first symbol is of three leaves entwined in the center and surrounded by a circle. This is a symbol for immortality if I remember correctly. It's located on the left side of the mirror, right at the handle that attaches it to the stand beneath it. The second symbol is where the twelve would be on the mirror if it were a clock, a pentagram with an upside down pentagram drawn within the pentagon made by the pentagram, a symbol of god ruling over the world of matter. The third symbol is on the right side where the three would be, and is directly across from the symbol of the three leaves. It's three sticks, each crossed at the top where they all are interconnected by a circle, it looks almost like a very poor drawing of a wheat bundle, likely to represent harvest. The fourth symbol is an upside-down pentagram with a right-side up pentagram in the pentagon made by the upside-down pentagram. A symbol of the world of matter ruling over god, Lucifer's symbol.
The writing between each of the four symbols vary from symbol to symbol, each seeming like riddle, however, beneath the riddle there's two words from each that seem separate from the rest. The words between each one seemed very different, each stating a different fact. The one between the right-side up pentagram and the three leaves roughly translated as " It is through god you receive this blessing.", likely referring to the immortality the leaves represented. The one of the leaves to the upside-down pentagram said "It is through me that you see the truth.". The one between the right-side up pentagram and the wheat said "Your harvest will be plentiful under my divine light.", and the last one read "Through the black sun and the blood moon you are enlightened.". It seemed religious mumbo-jumbo to me, but the words beneath didn't translate at all, they translated to " Hear religious me fool curse angel fallen the." Going clockwise. That being said, when reading them normally as they are meant to be read, in their own language of, many different languages, the mirror shifted. The words on the mirror physically shifted around! I've never seen something quite like this before, originally I'd thought myself crazy, but now I see that I'm perfectly sane doing this! All things considered, it's remarkable!"
"The mirror shifting by itself? I can't by that." I thought as I finished reading the diary, that being said, the words were still on the mirror, they'd been what Romans had described, I figured why the heck not? I read the words aloud, the mirror suddenly beginning to vibrate, the words shifting and squirming among it's letters. When it stopped it was a language I'd never seen before. My reflection had changed slightly as well,shifting during the course. I kept a straight face as I waved at my reflection.
It didn't move, only smiled back at me.
