	"Can you please hurry? Lyra can come back at anytime."

Bon Bon was looking around nervously in the town library. She had taken Lyras' mirror and brought it over to the library. She didn't know much about magic. She was only an earth pony. However, Twilight Sparkle, a unicorn from Canterlot, had a prestigious reputation for all things magic. She was hoping she could identify it and any features.

"You said this is Lyras'?" Bon Bon nodded. The unicorn looked back to the mirror. She squinted her eyes, and her horn sparked with magic a few times. She turned to the earth pony.

"Alright, I haven't come up with much." Bon Bon was looking out the window. "I'll take whatever you have."

"This is the most fiendish mirror I've come across. I've never seen anything that gives me such a chill." Bon Bon walked towards the mirror. "I've used some minor magic, and if I can tell you anything, I can tell you one thing." Bon Bon frowned. "What is it?" Twilight shook her head.

"That's not gold. It's Devils' Candle Wax." Bon Bon stopped. "Devils' Candle Wax?" Twilight nodded. "It's made from gold, but it incorporates ground Cerberus tooth and hydras' scale with it. You can't grind hydras' scale to a dust. At least, it's not possible yet." Bon Bon nodded. "The ruby on top is not even a ruby. It's a cockatrice eye." Bon Bon blinked in surprise. "Then why aren't we statues?" Twilight rubbed her chin. "It's written here that if a cockatrice eye is treated in just the right solution, it's effects are nullified, and the eye itself is petrified. It makes a really nice accessory if it's made correctly."

Bon Bon blinked in fear at what the mirror was made of. She shook it off and wrapped the mirror in a blanket. "Thank you Twilight, but I really have to go." The scooped the mirror onto her back. "Thanks for everything!" "Wait!" Twilight was too late as the door slammed. 

"Do you really want to keep it?"

"I'm back Bon Bon!"

Lyra walked in on her hind legs as usual. Bon Bon smiled. "You're back! I left a new batch of treats on the counter over there." Lyra smiled greedily as she made her way through the kitchen.

Bon Bon stared at Lyra as she ate the sweets. Lyra noticed.

"What?" Bon Bon shook her head. "Oh nothing. Nothing at all." She turned away and frowned.

What would an innocent unicorn like her be doing with such a hellish object?
