In her short life as a plotting, scheming, all-around nefarious little ball of hatred and mania, Cozy Glow had investigated many different ways of making herself more powerful. Amulets, artifacts, magical weapons and more; there were few options left to her that weren't contingent on having a stupid horn on her head.

It wasn't long after infiltrating the School of Friendship that she heard rumors about the pool.

Hey hey there friends and strangers alike! You may know me from such classic works as- actually wait, you don't care. The only thing that matters here is that this is my second story ever, and it was written for the 2021 Cozy Glow Short Story Contest #2!

It took me a while to figure out the kind of story I wanted to make, but in the end I just decided to follow my heart. My black, twisted, tragedy-loving heart.

This is an afterthought added weeks after I wrote this, but I think I can sum this story up pretty succinctly. I wrote an old school grimdark fic.

Oh, and if you couldn't tell yet, this was obviously made for the mirror pool prompt.
