Curious about what lies beyond the mirror, you find the hidden catch. Silently the mirror swings away from you, turning on an axis. You step through to the dark corridor beyond. It is dark and smells damp. Suddenly you remember that you haven't brought a candle. As you turn back, the mirror shuts, leaving you in darkness. In a panic you run your hands over the wall, trying to find the release. A voice calls out to you, a female voice.
"Hello stranger. You have ventured where you should not have."
A match is struck and the light illuminates a young woman with waist length blonde hair, wearing a black cloak and a floppy black hat. She lights a candle and then moves toward you. "But since you are here, you may explore, however," she holds up a finger in warning, "you may not like everything that you come across."
She holds the candle out to you, and slowly you take it. She backs away from you, blending into the shadows.
"You have stepped into Erik's domain, be on your guard at all times."
She disappears into the passage. You step forward and cry out, "Wait! Who are you?"the woman
"I will be the one to kill you should you stumble where you are not wanted."
