All Chapters of Book of Mirrors I: The Celestials: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Between the 4th and 5th dimensions (The Dream Plane) Haneul tried not to laugh as he found Tina dozing off as she leaned against a tree. He still couldn't believe she was the same little kid that used to follow him around before. Wait. He had already thought that before, didn't he? Haneul sighed. Why was he so stuck in past these days? They had more things to worry about in the future. Haneul adjusted Linthra on his back, pondering what to do next. Just then, the environment around them changed again. "Tina!" Haneul quickly got to her aid as her eyes shot open and she lost her balance. He caught her easily, and when they fell he rolled so she was on top of him. An awkward moment as their eyes met. She smelled like roses just when they first bloomed, and something else. Something that came from her alone. Haneul closed his eyes as he reveled in her nearness. But Tina scrambled away from him. She slipped, sliding back on top of him, but she quickly regained her balance and stood up.

Between the 4th and 5th dimensions (Just Beyond Time) Fed up from all the lessons, Tina had issued an ultimatum. Find Theodora or she gave up training altogether. Veronica smirked at that. She didn't know the neophyte Mirror had it in her. "Are we sure she'll be safe all alone in the cottage?" Alice asked, her foot playing with the sand underneath her. They were in the dream plane, on their quest to look for the witch. "Maybe one of us should've stayed." "We never know what we might encounter. Three is a good number. Tina will be fine." LJ replied, "Someone else will be there to watch her." "Haneul?" Alice asked. LJ shook his head, "He's still in Andong. Minho will be there." Alice paused at that. "He's not going to tell on us, right?" "I asked Haneul the same thing. But he seemed to trust him." LJ shrugged. Veronica twirled Tina's phone in her fingers and restarted the game she was playing. She had snatched it from Tina earlier to make sure she wouldn't contact anyone w

Between the 4th and 5th dimensions (Just Beyond Time) Tina ducked a second too late and Veronica's fist caught her left cheek. She groaned at the impact, losing her head a bit before retaliating. But Veronica was fast. Really fast. None of Tina's hits connected. She suffered another punch to the gut from Veronica, but just like all the others, Tina barely processed it. LJ, Alice, and Veronica came back empty-handed from their search and she didn't get much explanation. "So she wasn't at all in that dream plane? In the Philippines..or in South Korea? Have you...have you tried going to...I don't know...hell?" Tina asked. Tina could barely see them standing at the side of the court, but she thought she saw LJ and Alice look pointedly at each other. They're hiding something. Tina was almost sure of it. Veronica sighed in annoyance, "Like I told you, no. And it would be no use going to Hell if we don't know for sure that she's there. I'm sure you are aware that all kinds of nasty thin

Between the 4th and 5th dimensions (Just Beyond Time) "She probably just traveled somewhere by accident. It'll be fine." Alice said, trying to calm Haneul down. She looked down at the angel's fists, which still did not loosen despite her words. "If that's the case, then this won't work. Her powers are too unpredictable." LJ replied, "Maybe we should...." Alice looked at her twin flame in frustration. Seriously. Did LJ think he was helping by saying that? "No, we are not going to Akira for help," Haneul said tightly, as expected. "She'll be thrown into prison." "Prison's not so bad." Veronica commented,"It might do her some good." Alice looked at her as if she were insane. Another insensitive one. Why were these two so clueless? Couldn't they both see that Haneul was suffering? "Oh, no, Ronnie. You don't get to talk right now. You were the one who was supposed to be watching her. You were the one who lost her." Alice said. "What? I told you. I was watching her." Veronica answ

Between the 4th and 5th Dimensions (Just Beyond Time) "You go right, I go left," Alice said. LJ and she have been doing a dance trying to get into opposite sides of the room and it was becoming awkward. "Your right or my right?" LJ asked, a smile on his lips. Alice wanted to slap it off his face. She huffed in frustration, "Never mind." She sidestepped him again but LJ grabbed her shoulders, planting her right in front of him. "Did I say I'm sorry?" LJ said seriously, "I know you weren't happy about me and Haneul asking Veronica to create projections of us without consulting you first." Alice looked at him as if he were insane, "Seriously? That was days ago. I'm long over it. Did you really think that was the reason why I'm mad at you? I'm not that petty." "No, I know why you're mad at me." LJ said quietly, "It's the same reason why we can't be any closer than we are supposed to be for centuries. Victo
