Niri gingerly pulled the cover off the old mirror, a cloud of dust coming with it. The polished silver beneath was beautiful, marred only by a small crack from some time in its past. He took it in his hands and carefully carried it over to the wall he had cleared for it, the silver catching sunlight that shone in from the window. Stood upright, he now could clearly see himself. He studied his golden scales, not vain, but in curiosity. He had many more than the last time he had looked in this mirror, long ago.
If it were that time again, he might have found pride in his brilliant red and gold colors, but now he could only see what the humans saw of him. A beast, his colors nothing more than a warning to leave him be. His claws were sharp and untrimmed, made for a fight. And his teeth... long and wicked, for catching prey. He looked into his own eyes and wondered if anyone would ever have this experience again. To know that his eyes were blue. He missed his family, and he missed his people. He longed for the life he wasn't able to have. Tears welled in his eyes, knowing his path was made for him. He was a Basilisk.
