“A thousand steps. That was the distance to Uroboros Mirror. The Mirror of Beginnings and Endings. Only you can decide what destroys it, Curse Breaker. Only you. I conjured a sphere of fairy light above my head and began the ascent.”

For those who don't know, this is a scene from the book “A Court of Mist and Fury”, part 3 of the saga “A Court of Thorns and Roses” (ACOTAR, for the intimate haha).

In this scene, Feyre, the main character, is at a critical moment in the war against the people of Hybern, and the alternative she has left is to capture this mirror in order to deliver it to the bone carver and thus have his loyalty to fight alongside her in this deadly war. However, getting hold of this particular artifact is not as simple as it seems. It is a magical object that has the power to bring out the worst in anyone who dares to face it directly, and this is one of Feyre's challenges.

I used books to make the stairs (I couldn't do a thousand steps), some black clothes to create the dark atmosphere and a doll from a well-known cartoon to be Feyre, so I hope you get the idea!

Luckily me and my husband are super nerds and have loads of stuff around the flat like this Cookie Jar, phone holder and dragon ball lol

For my diorama, I chose to do an early scene from Dragonball. Specifically chapter 4 of the manger “Turtle Hermits Kinto’un”.

This is the chapter where a young Goku visits the Kame House for the first time to meet Master Roshi. Goku arrives at the house after helping Roshi’s turtle return home. In exchange, Roshi gives Goku the Kinto’un (Flying Nimbus) as a reward.

For my diorama I have the Kame House cookie jar can represent the house itself. I have a figure of young Goku who is holding a Dragon Ball, excitedly standing near Kame House, as he does in the early manga when he shows Roshi the Dragon Ball.

I hope you like it!

Here's my diorama of 'Ashes to Ashes, Blood to Carbonfiber' from Writers of the Future anthology Volume 40. The diorama features Rickard, the inventor of the fabricator that the rich used to devour the world, walking amid past, present, and hopefully future. On his left is his present, the wasteland left after all life was devoured. On his right, the lush jungle that existed before, and that he hopes will exist once more.
