Four Mirrors of Lucifenia

The **Four Mirrors of Lucifenia** was one of the Vessels of Sin, inhabited by the Demon of Pride. Prince Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche was among its most prominent owners, infamous for causing the Reign of Evil.

## History

### Creation

When Adam and Eve Moonlit created the Vessels of Sin in EC 014, a yellow mirror was used as the vessel for the Demon of Pride. Afterward, the couple released the vessels into the world. The mirror was later collected around the EC 480s by Queen Prim Marlon. Afterwards, the unknown mage took the vessel and split it into four smaller hand mirrors. At some point, Prim gifted one of the mirrors to her daughter, Germaine.

### Story of Evil

In EC 491, the mage transplanted the Demon of Gluttony to one of the mirrors. Around that time, Kyle Phutapie was given another mirror from his mother, Prim. After showing the mirror to Minister Presi at the Lucifenian Royal Palace, the sorceress placed the mirror in a box and buried it on the nearby beach. After Prince Alexiel and Princess Riliane found the mirror, the mage conjured the Demon of Gluttony from the mirror to possess one of them.

Presi later used the mirror to transfer the Demon of Gluttony's possession of Alexiel to himself in order to defeat Gallerian Clockworker. After Presi was defeated and killed, Gallerian sealed the demon inside the mirror. The mage later recalled the Demon of Gluttony to its original vessel. Around that time, Kyle infiltrated the royal palace with the mirror in his possession.

Following the death of King Arth in EC 499, Kyle gave the mirror to Alexiel and transplanted the Demon of Pride to the Prince. Possessed by the demon, Alexiel's arrogance increased and crushed his potential doubts, making him a cruel tyrant. After Queen Germaine withdrew her marriage proposal to Alexiel in favor of Clarith in EC 500, Alexiel ordered the invasion of Elphegort and the genocide of its female population, slaughtering countless.

Following the Lucifenian Revolution, the Demon of Pride left the deposed prince and returned to its vessel. The mage then extracted the Demon of Lust from Germaine and placed it in the mirror Prim carried. Afterward, Prim had the Demon of Pride possess Germaine through the mirror she carried. With Germaine's doubts about her actions crushed, she quickly annexed Lucifenia as part of the Kingdom of Marlon.

### Changing Hands

After Gallerian and Lemy's failed attempt to steal Germaine's mirror in EC 501, Germaine began keeping it on her person at all times. In EC 505, the Marlon Queen declared war on Asmodean and Beelzenia. Germaine's mirror was later stolen by Lemy and Yukina Freezis. Shortly after, the queen took the mirror back during their escape and completely submitted to the Demon of Pride, undergoing a demonic transformation and attacking them before flying into the night's sky.

Over the course of two weeks, the possessed and transformed Germaine tracked the three down to the Millennium Tree Forest. After Germaine was defeated in battle, both mirrors were successfully sealed by Lemy. Prim later brought the last mirror with her to Castle Hedgehog. During the battle with Queen Germaine's armies, Prim kept the vessel with her in Heartbeat Clocktower.

She later attempted to have the demon in the mirror repossess Germaine before being killed by Kyle. Afterward, Germaine brought the final mirror to Lioness Castle and it was subsequently sealed by Gallerian and Lemy. Soon after, the mage took the glass along with the other vessels of sin assembled at the castle and removed their seals. Afterward, the Demon of Lust returned to its original vessel.

At some point, all four mirrors ended up in Jakoku and were collected by Len Miroku in EC 842; the boy then contracted with the Demon of Pride before being killed by Gakuga Octo later that year. The mirrors were then lost soon after.

### Dark Star Scandal

At some point, one of the mirrors ended up in Maistia. Another one of the mirrors eventually came into the possession of Eater Sabella, and was stored at the Graveyard restaurant. Said mirror was later confiscated as evidence by the Dark Star Bureau during the shutdown of the Graveyard restaurant. Collected by Elluka Marlon, the vessel was stored in the judge's home.

The judge later collected another mirror and stored it in her home along with the other. At some point, Elluka also obtained the mirror in Maistia at an auction. Once all four mirrors were collected by the judge, they were chained together. After Elluka's home was burned down in EC 983, Ma collected the vessels from the charred remains and stored them in Evil's Theater.

### World's End

After the destruction of the Third Period in EC 999, Clarith summoned all seven vessels together for Rin Avadonia. The Demon of Pride later gathered with the other demons in Marlon, staying there with Clarith.

## Mechanics

Similar to the other vessels of sin, the Four Mirrors served as containers for the Demon of Pride's essence and allowed the demon to influence or possess its owner. From the mirrors, the demon was able to fuel the owner's vanity and selfishness, turning their doubt into confidence and then hubris. As the demon was the source of the Four Mirrors' powers, sealing the vessel subsequently sealed the demon and left the object powerless.

As a single vessel composed of four pieces, the Demon of Pride was able to freely travel between each mirror, allowing it to affect multiple individuals over great distances; additionally, all four Mirrors had to be sealed in order to suppress the demon. Like the other vessels, an empty Mirror could be inhabited by another demon, although a skilled individual must purposefully move them. Like all the vessels of sin, the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia were able to kill a demon contractor through the Demon of Pride's power.
