In a long, long time, when people had just begun to populate our Earth, ancient magicians lived. For years they searched for the secret of immortality, trying to create a parallel world into which souls could move after death and be reborn in a new body. The most difficult thing was to open a portal for a soul traveling outside of time. And so the secret was found, the portal was opened: it became a distorting mirror. After long magical rituals, it acquired an unusual property - it could not be broken. And there was only one thing that the ancient magicians did not take into account: the mirror was crooked, and the parallel world was distorted, it became the complete opposite of our world. If it was raining here, then the sun was shining through the looking glass; If it was winter there, then it’s summer here. Old people could see their childhood reflected in the mirror, and young people could see their old age. Centuries passed, millennia changed, and the mirror gathered dust in an underground vault under the ruins of an ancient castle. Nobody knew about its existence, the magicians died long ago, and perhaps their souls found their portal to that same parallel world.
