Through the mirror to the land of whispers

From the threshold, Lena knew something was wrong. Her grandmother's attic had always been full of peculiar objects: ancient trunks, porcelain dolls with missing eyes, maps with strange markings. But today, as a ray of afternoon sunlight fell on a dusty corner, Lena spotted something she hadn't seen before - a tall, ornate mirror with a frame covered in silver leaves.
Intrigued, she walked closer, careful not to trip over another stack of books. The surface of the mirror was incredibly clean, shiny, as if no one had touched it in years. Lena looked at her reflection, but... she couldn't see herself. There was a swirl of silvery smoke where her face should have been.
Her heart began to beat faster. Could it be that the mirror was showing something other than reality?

Lena held her breath and looked at the illuminated gate amidst the swirling colours, hesitating for a split second. In a moment, she was about to make a decision that could change everything....
