Ally and the Duchess had just arrived at the antique show, where the decorations evoked a sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance. Eager to explore, they rented a carriage to ride through the streets. However, the Duchess quickly noticed the horse wasn’t properly attached to the carriage. Without hesitation, she fastened the reins and steered them forward.
As they traveled, they encountered an ancient tree in the middle of the street, once tall and full of life but now dry and lifeless. They could feel a lingering sense of magic around the tree. Ally crafted an hourglass to act as a conduit, channeling the magic back into the tree. The spell worked, and the tree was revived—but the flowers along the street remained withered.
Determined to uncover the mystery, Ally and the Duchess ventured into a nearby antique shop in search of clues. The Duchess, feeling a little uneasy, asked Ally, "Are you ever afraid of the unknown?" Ally smiled and replied, "I’m used to it—on Merge Island, anything can happen."
Inside the shop, they discovered a key on the floor, which unlocked a wooden door. Behind it, they found a magical mirror, cracked and leaking dark magic. It was clear that the cursed mirror was the root of the problem. Ally and the Duchess pored over magical books, trying various spells to fix the mirror. After several attempts, they finally succeeded—accompanied by the sound of glass mending itself. With the mirror restored, the withered plants on the street blossomed back to life.
Feeling victorious, Ally and the Duchess continued their stroll through the antique show, the atmosphere making them feel as though they had stepped back in time. They marveled at the beautiful antiques on display—luxurious formal gowns, intricate enamelware, and more. Ally couldn’t help but wonder aloud, "If these antiques had merging magic, imagine the incredible things they could create!"
