Hinata looked at the door for a moment, racking her brain for how it seemed familiar. Finally, she remembered the keychain Julian had given her. She reached in her pocket, pulling it out.
"Thanks, dude," She said quietly. Stepping forward, she decided to put the colors in order first. Red, blue, silver, green, yellow, orange, and black. She held her breath for a moment, before turning to the weapons.

The lock that the colors guarded opened up, all that’s left before the door was unlocked are the weapon symbols. There were many symbols on the desk behind Hinata though all was scattered. Maybe tapping them in the correct order would unlock the door.

Hinata sighed in relief. Consulting the keychain again to make sure she didn't mess up, she slowly pressed the buttons; spear, bow, baton, and axe.

As Hinata pressed them, the door opened up. Inside the shadows of the newly opened entrance, not a lot was visible. Inside was though, clearly a platform of some sort. Other parts of the deepest parts though, were unclear.
If she was to make way through the corridor, what awaits her might not be what she expected.

Loki plopped down on a bench and tried to connect with her brother's soul "Come on Alex, come on."

The response to Loki’s call was faint, but it was there. It seemed to be coming from somewhere along the borders of the Labyrinth though, a place where most of the newest generation of Knights would gather.

Loki hiccuped a few short breath knowing her breath was held to help her focus on finding him. Keeping the connection Loki started to follow it and the closer she got the stronger it grew as well

Getting closer to whoever was answering the call, a cloaked figure walked pass by Loki. They didn’t look the friendliest nor did they look friendly at all. There was not a lot to be said about the man other than the fact that he had a horse head necklace.

(Hinata, guess who’s back~?!)

(I had no expectations and you have terrified me)
Hinata smiled at her success, stepping into the room. Still, she was just waiting for something to happen that she didn't want.

There was nothing, no one other than Hinata inside the seemingly empty room. The only thing really worth taking note of was the platform in the middle of the room and… three golden writings on the wall.

I, by the name of the first Knight, seal here my soul and pride

I, by the name of the first Officer, seal here my soul and legacy

We, together by the name of The Ancient Warriors , seal ourselves in this realm until one who’s worthy will come and purify the Labyrinth

As has been noted, this was not what Hinata was expecting. She read the writings, musing over them. The function of the first two was obvious; but why the third part?

There were two human sized statues beside the visually closed portal; one of a knight’s armor and one of a magician’s coat. They were missing something. Their weapons. Maybe somewhere near the gallery would be the spot… or maybe, somewhere deeper in the Labyrinth might be where they hide. A connecting realm might be ideal.

Hinata sighed.
"This is what I get for thinking anything would be simple here." She chuckled at herself.

If Hinata was to look straight pass the closed portal, she would find a mirror, a slightly shattered one to be exact. Where would it lead to?

Hinata decided to explore the room more, since she was already there. Walking past the portal, she came to the mirror, humming slightly as she examined it.

The mirror, as mentioned, was shattered in some places. Looking into the mirror, Hinata would see Lachlan, the first Knight she’d encounter in the Labyrinth though… he wasn’t exactly in a form that was… beautiful. His eyes were blank, his neck was cut from the rest of his body, and his mouth was bleeding and frowning.

Corruption… beautiful isn’t it? was written in blood beneath his decapitated neck.

[Continue Examining the Mirror]
[Leave the Mirror]
[Break the Mirror]

Loki watched the figure pass awhile then pushed on to follow the other half of her soul, Alex, she was close to finding her home, her life, and most importantly her soul

Hinata gagged slightly, taking in the image in the mirror. She didn't exactly like Lachan, but this was a bit overboard. She was overcome with a coughing fit, and accidentally slammed the side of her fist into the mirror to balance herself.
_{(Wanting to do something + "it wouldn't be in character" = make them do it accidentally)}

Getting closer to where the answer was coming from, Loki would see a figure in a blue suit by a set of doors.
“Uh, sorry miss but right now there is a problem going on inside, you might need to wait until it is resolved” he claimed, glancing behind him every now and then.

(Works every time XD)

When the mirror broke, a brown coated figure came out, unconscious and bruised in some places along his body. They had a large backpack on them with papers attached and other accessories. It didn’t look like they were going to wake up anytime soon.

(XD)
"Aummm…" Hinata said as she recovered from her coughing and looked down at the figure. "I really hope I didn't just mess up horribly."
She knelt down to check the figure.

The figure looked normal, nothing about him was corrupted in anyway. He did, however, look somewhat similar to Chris. Or maybe they just looked equally as smart. From the backpack he had on him, bottles of what seemed to be chemicals and alcohol came out.

Hinata looked around, suddenly realizing that she might not have been meant to be here. Or have broken the mirror. Or a lot of things. She shook her head, turning back to the figure. She made sure that all of his possessions were in his back, freaking out slightly.

When Hinata touched his body, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at her.
“Hi…” he greeted with a weak smile and a small wave.

"Uh, hi," Hinata said. Just a moment ago, the figure had looked as if he wouldn't wake up for a while. Then, he wakes up.
"Who are you?" Hinata asked.

“I would be known by the Labyrinth as The Missing Alchemist for… obvious reasons…” he giggled as he pointed to the shattered mirror.
“I’ve been in there for eighty something years I think…” he sat up straight and yawned.
“Mind if I ask you the same question? Who are you?”

"My name's Hinata Hayashi, Balance Keeper. I'm a visitor to the Labyrinth." Hinata sat back on her heels, hands in her lap.

The alchemist nodded.
“I see… fancy seeing you here then, I was expecting a Knight to find me actually… not a visitor” he crossed his arm only to be pulled down my his backpack.
“Oh… yeah… I carry a lot of things” he giggled.

[Questions you might want to ask the alchemist:]
(You can only ask one at a time)
[Who are the Mythical Warriors?]
[Who wrote the writings on the wall?]
[Where does the portal lead to?]
[Where can the sword and staff be found?]
[Why were you trapped in a mirror?]
[Who are you to the Labyrinth?]

"So…" Hinata started, "Why where you trapped in the mirror?" She'd come across similar situations, but she knew the possibilities were near endless for reasons.
