After defeating the ancient warrior in a chess match, Haze claims the legendary Spear of Perun—but victory comes at a cost. When Baby Bird reaches for it, the relic lashes out, wounding him, and soon after, Haze’s hand begins to darken as if frostbitten. Unaware that the weapon is draining his life force, the team pushes forward, their eyes fixed on the next island of mirrors.

A violent storm batters their canoe, scattering the operatives across the Mirror Island, each waking in isolation. As they search for one another, the island seems to toy with them—reflections whispering, illusions flickering, and reality bending like glass.

Thotty stumbles upon a shimmering pond that mirrors his every move with eerie precision. Haze lurks among the trees, a shadow watching shadows. Baby Bird’s nerves finally snap, reality folding around him until even his body begins to distort. Meanwhile, Coyote, unconcerned, sets up a quiet camp to fish—his surroundings growing more absurdly “homey” by the minute, as if the island itself is trying to keep him there.

But not everything in the reflections is what it seems. When Pretty Kitty discovers a familiar face staring back at him from the pond, the line between ally and imposter begins to fracture…

Join the hunt with the Wardens of the Danger Zoo, and comment which legend you want us to take down next.
