Mordmorgan the Mad
First Post
Varren D'Cor Only:
[sblock]Anja leads you within the brightly painted vardo. Its interior is small and dimly lit. A small candle flickers on a short table near the wagon's center. Everything this woman owns clutters the walls, floor, shelves, and the tiny bed opposite you.
She clears an empty scabbard from one of the stools at the table and motions for you to sit. She sits on the stool across the table from you and lays the wooden box on the table. She opens it gently and removes a set of wooden tiles wrapped in dark blue silk.
"It is important that you hold the cards and concentrate. Think of yourself, your past, and the questions whose answers you seek."
She places the cards in your hands and holds them together. "Focus your spirit. Free it from its bindings within your body and allow it to wander its past and its future and its present."
The world around you seems to fade into nothingness. All you can sense is Anja's presence, somehow holding you, comforting you, and protecting you from the cold void around you. Her breathy voice warms your very being. "Keep your eyes closed, and draw forth five cards."
You feel your body move, almost without your permission, drawing the five requested wooden tiles. Anja takes them from your hand, and touches your closed eyes. "Awaken and view the world without time."
She takes the first card you drew and turns it over. "This card represents you. This is your true self, that which cannot be hidden."
The card depicts a young man standing, his arms raised above his head, holding a blazing sword that glows blue with electricity. His armor drips with blood, but his handsome face is triumphant. Sprawled on the ground around him are many foes, including the undead and other monsters. A raven sits perched on one of the bodies, a gobbet of flesh in its beak.
"Ahh, The Avenger. A good, strong card...You are a true warrior, a man who seeks to right wrongs and deal swift vengance to your enemies. You are haunted by your past, and you quest to grant it peace."[/sblock]
