Our journey predicted, we know it will be long and full of ups and downs, but when isn't it? Feels like we'll never finish this job, and I'll never get paid and get rid of you. Ariadne has been packing too many clothes for this journey, and she's making sure all of you have your supplies. She is entirely too excited as this is the first time we all are going on the journey together...all alive, and whatnot... For now. Well, peasants. I'll see you again in November. I hope you

the moon The final card is turned, and Star gives us a nervous glance. This just confirms my suspicions about her. "The moon reveals a lot, anxieties, illusions. But it also speaks to our intuition, something we should look closely at, and listen to. It's even how we do these readings." I give her my best scowl and ask, "So, will we rescue Madame Graves? Or is this just another dead end quest where I won't get paid." Star smiles at me, and I think I found someone I dislike mo

the sun The next card is flipped, and Star smiles sweetly at us. "The sun, a refreshing card. It really seems the first half of this journey will be hard, but that you will find abundance and success after all. We only have one more card after this, so this is a really encouraging thing to see near the end." "So, we'll get my mother back?" Ariadne asks, seemingly not very invested, which feels like the opposite of my strawberry scented weirdo, but her relationship with her mo

the star Star rolls her shoulders back and gives a bright smile to you peasants, "Here's hoping this one's bad luck doesn't spread to the rest of the reading, right?" She's beaming at all of you, and even Ariadne has a laugh. I resent this comment. I don't know why I'm considered the bad luck here when it's clearly all of you peasants fault that we still haven't finished this journey. She flips the card and her smile gets even bigger, "The Star! This is my favorite card, if y

magician, priestess Ariadne and I are waiting with Strawberry Bot, and she's simultaneously checking in on all of you peasants. Making sure you're alright, that you're hydrated, that you're not reading too far into the prompts...which we all know you are. While she's doing that, Strawberry Bot and I are playing with the cards. I know we shouldn't but I'm still the Narrator, and I'll make the rules where I want to. I make you peasants chose a card, which one will you chose? Th

death Another card is turned, a frown showing on the diviners face. The skeleton on the card looks similar to the signature one I use, so I'm not sure why she seems so concerned about this card. Seems like a perfectly good card to me. "The death card. This could mean a number of things...it could represent...you, Narrator, it could represent the end of a journey, the completion of something. It would also outright death." She shrugs, which doesn't seem like a good answer to h

lovers The next card turned causes the diviner to smirk, looking between Ariadne and I as though she knows something we don't. Which would be ridiculous, the Narrator should know everything, and I'm getting exhausted by this no longer being the case in this story. Ariadne is giggling to herself over this card, and I can't seem to roll my eyes hard enough to make her stop that. "The lovers, generally signifying a union of some kind, usually clarified by the cards around it." S

The Empress The diviner looks upon all of you as she flips our next card, revealing a card that alarmingly looks like Ariadne's mother. "The Empress," the diviner muses, looking closely at the card in front of her, "We often say she represents our Coven leader, Madam Graves." The diviner tilts her head to the side, considering, "Which would make sense, representing your journey to save her...but it could mean the empress as an experience or feeling rather than the actual lead

Welcome back, peasants. We've found ourselves in an interesting position, back at the Graves Coven. It seems we'll be working with Ariadne's former "family" to ensure our battle with the wizard goes well. While most of her coven is made up of necromancy fanatics, some work in divination. Which has brought us here, to a tarot reading. I'm not sure I believe in all this divination nonsense, especially from a group who tried to revive the dead and got me, from a whole other univ
