Marvin was a very kind, wise, and slightly eccentric wizard. As a descendant of the legendary Merlin, he grew up hearing tales of grand adventures with King Arthur! Marvin loved helping people and animals, but he never married or had children of his own. One day, feeling a bit lonely in his workshop, he took two beautiful, hand-crafted panes of glass and wove a spell of companionship into them. He named them Wallace and Hallston. To his surprise, the identical twins developed their own distinct personalities! They were wonderful companions until 1806, when Marvin passed his beloved creations down to his niece, Abigail.

Captain Seth was a sailor who loved the wildness of the open sea. As soon as the mirrors were passed to him, he built a special frame to bolt them securely to his cabin wall, right next to the windows. For decades, the twin mirrors helped keep Captain Seth safe by watching out for fierce typhoons, charting unknown waters, and keeping a sharp eye out for sea monsters! Seth kept them by his side on every single voyage until 1952, when at the ripe old age of 101, he passed them on to his beloved great-granddaughter, Lydia.

Kyle is an aspiring archaeologist who stays busy studying for his doctorate and interning at historic dig sites. The mirrors loved to tease him about all the dust and dirt he tracked into the house, but they also loved listening to his exciting stories. One evening, Kyle was telling the mirrors he had stumbled upon something that would make him famous! Before he could finish explaining, he got an urgent phone call from his employer and had to leave in a hurry, promising to finish his story when he returned. Sadly, he never returned home. After a few months, his employer boxed up his belongings and sent them to Ms. Betty’s Antique Store for sale to help fund the archeological project Kyle had been working on.

Perhaps Kyle will show up one day to claim Wallace and Hallston?
