Star was a little confused, but she had heard the word 'mirror' and glanced at Archaedus. "Is mirror some sort of spell thing?" she questioned.

Avatre opened the door and walked into the hall looking both ways instinctively as she sensed a mind running through the place.
"Ari.. Something's not right. Someone is here.. and there mind is strong. It seems almost, if not exactly, as strong as the one Archaedus went out to do battle with. ...And I believe, they are coming this way."
She placed her hand inside the cloak resting her fingertips upon the pommel of her dagger... and her palm over her heart.
I most keep contact close between my shadow.. if this is indeed the stranger, I will need to act fast to protect the chosen one... I cant let my new.. friends... down.

Ari looked out. "Well, I guess we have no choice but to go find this guy...or girl. Lead the way." She said, taking out the sword Stephen had given her so long ago and preparing her mind for battle.

She took a few steps towards what she believe the way to the main entrance, feeling the pressure of the intruders mind against her own.
So strong.. but why? Who is this person.. and why are they here. What do they want.. Whatever it is, they can't have it! I won't allow it.
Her voice was faint and almost inaudible," I'm not sure... we will need to hunt them down... for he is heading our way, and fast. I only have my daggers, my shadow, and Soren. M'lady, I would hate to ask you to fight but you may need to," her voiced trailed off and footsteps sounded.

"AHA!" The words would have sprung from his mouth, had he not been trying to keep quiet.
The center of the building. THIS is where all the craziness was going on. The mind patterns. The spell enchantments... wait? Something disrupted their course. This is odd... what a strange place.
His appearance was that of Ari's. Thus, the door confirmed the prescence of a familiar and accepted him.
"Perfect."
He entered. Yes, the one with a strong mind had ruined the enchantments on this place. Who could it have been? A prisoner? ONE OF HIS OWN!?!? ... He thinks too much.
Hawk steps forward, turns around, locks the door. He steps into the center of the strange room. White's thought patterns connect with his.
"You are in a bind? They are Lestuanians! You should be able to crush them with ease!"
"It... isn't... DAMMIT!" Hawk shouted. His anger and loss of focus caused him to lose his mirrored form. He was himself once again. "You told me they were strong magic users!"
"Ah, but did I not also tell you to be prepared for anything that comes your way?"
Hawk fell to the floor.
"The... the only reason... I... I joined you... WAS TO FIND MY MEMORIES!"
The room felt strange.
"I'm getting sick of this... of your crazy orders... your insane missions!"
Hawk's mind felt open.
"I don't enjoy this at all... I WANT OUT!"
He had a heart.
White's mental prescence grew fainter. "... Than you no longer require my assistance. Good-bye, BlackHawk."
"NO!"
White was gone. Black was alone. Indeed, he was in quite a bind.

((Everything posted so far would suggest that your character couldn't get into the place at all, Hawk...the knocker reads souls, remember? But whatever, we'll go with it.))
Arianna had begun to say "I came to Lestauna to fight" but hadn't gotten past came before she heard Hawk scream. She took off at a sprint towards the voice...which was her own, she realized, and halted. "Avatre, that voice...it was mine."

Avatre was staring straight ahead, "I know Ari...," she drew out her dagger and walked to stand next to her.
"Please.. let me go forward. He most likely can mirror.. a rare ability, but his mind is strong so it's quite possible. You need not worry about me confusing you both; for your mind and aura are pure, and his and strong and pressing. M'lady, we need not run into this though. Let us walk and be alert, for we still know not of the proceedings of the outside."
It's time to set this straight. Who is he?!

"Alright, but if I think you're in the least bit of danger, I'm stepping in to help." She said, reluctantly allowing Avatre to lead the way. She brooded over the fact that this foe was going to look exactly like her as they walked.

Avatre nodded in response and set off at her normal forest style walk, brisk yet slow enough to be observant.
Another yell was heard and she tightened her grip upon the dagger, maneuvering it into a throwing position and she whispered to Ari, "He sounds.. subdued upon thoughts. Lets get in there and take him by surprise."

Ari nodded her silent consent, following quitely behind Avatre.

((Eh, sorry about the room thing... Thought it was for appearance only. Trying to keep up with being the bad guy the best I can sweatdrop ))
The glove gave a pulse. The mental signals are approaching.
"This... can't be happening..."
He stood up.
"White's left me... the Organization has abandoned me... maybe I can earn my way into their ranks again... but do I have the desire to, anymore? I don't know... I just don't know."
He heard the door creak open behind him.
"Looks like I may have to fight... am I even in a state to do so anymore?"
They were coming for him.
"What if... White lied... maybe... maybe HE DID! Maybe they didn't steal my memories... but then who did!? All the Organization's done is help me through this... but now they want nothing to do with me?"
It's time.
"I need answers."

(('sokay. Nothing's perfect anyway, including our doorknocker thingy.))
Arianna stood aghast. She had been told that the foe would look just like her, but she still wasn't prepared for what she saw. She was looking at herself, only there was a different light from behind the bright blue eyes...a tormented, troubled look. She quickly looked away from the eyes and stood slightly behind Avatre, waiting for someone to move.
Archaedus ran into the building, trying to find the source of the intruder...he continued through twists and turns of hallways, hoping he could get there in time.

Avatre straightened her back upon seeing the intruder; Soren ruffling his wings in a growing agitation.
"Change. Change back now," she said without a moments hesitation, her voice strong from the growing presence of her shadow as it slid around her heart.
"There is no use in staying in a mirrored form, state your name in the process and business being here." She had no need to ask his reason for being here, though somewhere inside her she hoped, it was not to murder her friends.

((Actually, I think I loss the mirror form when Hawk went crazy and lost his focus... but oh well.))
The mirrored-ability gave away and his true form was revealed. If he did have to fight, pretending to be a girl was the last thing he wished to waste his energy on.
"I am known as BlackHawk, Commander of the 1st infantry division of the Organization. My purpose... does not deserve your trust, yet. But I think I deserve some answers as well."
His glove found her. That girl with the bird... she was the one with the whacked out mental signals! There are few places she could have learned such abilities. Now was the time to find out.
"You there." He singled out Avatre. "You were the one who destroyed the enchantments on this room. I know from inside intelligence that spells of these sorts are extremely hard to break down. Where did you learn this power?
"Oh... and some names. Well, except for Ari. I apparently already know a deal about her. Though, her appearance isn't very normal for a Lestuanian. Probably why it was hard as hell to mirror."

"You are in no position to be giving orders Commander Hawk," Avatre spoke clear and true, putting and almost spiteful and venomous emphasis on 'Commander'.
She placed her palm completely over her heart and felt the power flowing through her once again. Unlike before within the room, she with held it at her fingertips. Her now silver eyes stared straight into Hawk's intelligent crystal blues ((please let me know if I got the color wrong)) for a second before continuing.
"My name, is hardly important but for addressing purposes, because being pointed and called 'You' is hardly appealing or polite. So please address me Avatre. My silver hawk, is Soren." She paused a moment, feeling his mind pressing relentless against hers.
He wants in. He wants to know everything... Like hell! Your not the only one with a strong mind. But what did he mean.. spells of those sorts are extremely hard to break down? They seemed like simple charms. NO! I can't get curious.. but maybe it wouldn't hurt to just ask...
"Your minds presence is easily known, so there is no point in hiding. My power is not learn'd. Though I am curious in why you claimed those simple charms upon the room as 'extremely hard to break down.'"
Avatre grew ever anxious with Hawk's ever pressing mind against hers. This can't go on for much longer. Where are you Archaedus?
She curled her finger tips in feeling the heat of her power form, a small orb of circling flames. Though just as quickly as the sanguine yellows and amber appeared, they quickly lost there light, to her shadow.
Now black mixing with shades of purple and midnight blue, the orb was held ready.. at her fingertips.
