Miryo stood frozen, numb, barely able to feel the dagger in her fingers.

She had thought she was prepared for the shock of seeing her doppelganger. She was wrong.

The doppelganger’s flame-colored hair was cut much shorter, but the hue was like hers. Her body was hard muscle, but the proportions were the same. And the face Miryo saw was her own. Not similar: identical. Miryo’s skin crawled.

The other’s eyes—gray, like her own—widened in shock. “Who are you?” the doppelganger whispered, body tensed and wary. “My—my sister?”

“No,” Miryo said, responding automatically. She couldn’t make herself move. “Not sisters. You and I—we’re the same person. But I have to kill you now.”
