They put on the ratty and soiled clothes provided to them. They looked the part, Momo thought as they said their goodbyes and climbed back into the car. Poor survivors lost and searching for help.
“Now our base is quite a bit different than yours. You will see what I mean when we get there. The entrance can be a bit disorienting, if you’re not prepared for it”, ChipChip said calmly.
Ducky and Momo shared an apprehensive look.
“Oh nothing to be worried about, we don’t have Dementors guarding it or anything: it’s just a little different. We have a maze of mirrors that are twisted and work differently than most human mirrors. They are disorienting and make you look funny and distorted, you’ll see”, ChipChip said reassuringly.
“Ok, but…”, Ducky started.
“Why? Well, when zombies walk up to it, they see a distorted version of themselves. It doesn’t scream food here, insert fork. They seem to just walk away, so we don’t have to worry about accumulative horde type problems. We’ll need to link paws, like a chain, so we don’t get separated. Trust me, that’s not fun”, ChipChip answered with what looked suspiciously like a smile.
“Ok, we’re here. Take these lanterns, you’ll need them. Are you ready”? ChipChip asked them. They nodded and got out of the car.
“Remember, no matter what. Do not let go”, he said pointedly.
“Whoa”, Ducky and Momo said in unison. The mirrors glinted in the daylight and as they walked up to them, they could see what ChipChip had meant. In one of the mirrors, they actually all looked quite tall and in another, they seemed to shrink to nothing. Not to mention the rest of the mirrors that showed everything in-between.
They entered the mirror labyrinth and it was quite disorienting. It was so dark, with just enough light to see the ever surrounding reflections. They had to move very slowly and carefully. More than once, they almost stumbled. It seemed like an eternity, when Ducky felt a tug and they were free. They covered their eyes with their paws and wings. It was blindingly bright. They could see bright colors, even with their eyes closed. They inched forward, slowly.
When they opened their eyes, they jumped back in panic. They were encircled by a group of strange animals. They were all wearing masks, there were empty eyes staring back at them from all sides. They both thought maybe they should not have come. ChipChip started to say something, but cut off when a loud booming voice sounded from outside the circle. ChipChip and every animal stiffened suddenly and the fear was palpable. This was their leader and in that instant of terror, they knew with absolute certainty, that they should not have come.
