[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 5188923, member: 17691"] The halfling child seems to have received some measure of comfort from Edmond's uncharacteristically warm words. He smiles hopefully as he's set back down onto the bed and gathers up the cards to resume shuffling. Watching the tiny urchin at work, its all those assembled can do to patiently wait for him to complete the task as he awkwardly shuffles the deck with hands that are far too small to easily manage cards sized for a human adult. Eventually Dj'hân seems satisfied with his effort and begins laying out nine cards, face down, in three columns of three on the red silk. [I][COLOR="SandyBrown"]"This is the Harrowing."[/COLOR][/I] Beginning with the left hand column, the young Harrower flips over the top card, grins broadly and then continues with the middle card and finally the bottom card. [I][COLOR="SandyBrown"]"The Harrow speaks of the past. Ooh! And there's me, the Waxworks; though as an opposite match! That's very good. It shows that I broke free of my limitations and used my energy to change everyone's fate at a crucial moment; like against the dancing dead in the mausoleum."[/COLOR][/I] The guttersnipe positively beams with pride at this unexpected turnaround of his role. He then continues with a touch more seriousness. [I][COLOR="SandyBrown"]"There are strong alignments in the past.
