For Aisling:


Lady Doom eyed Aisling and the trappings she'd brought with her, gaze lingering a bit too long on the miniature cage as she shuffles cards etched with fine illustrations. "Finding a direction and purpose is one of life's great challenges. Some believe there is only one path meant for each. But there are many, each with their highs and lows, and opportunities to change course."

She quickly draws 3 cards. "This will help you. This is what will hinder you. And this is your unrealized potential."

The fortune teller turns over the first card. "The Queen of Wands - Reversed." This depicts a queen sitting upon a throne. She holds a wand in her right hand and a sunflower in her left. The throne is decorated with sunflowers and lions. There is a black cat at her feet and pyramids in the background. The card is upside down. "The Queen of Wands represents courage and confidence. But the reversed nature suggests you should look inward for this confidence. Know what you want and what you stand for and do not let yourself be easily swayed by others."

Lady Doom points to the cat, "The black cat suggests a dark side, a lesser known part of your self. During your introspection, you might find it useful to consider that part of yourself."

She moves on to the second card and turns it over. "The King of Wands - Reversed." This card shows a king seated on a throne. He holds a wand with buds in his right hand. The throne is decorated with lions and lizards. This card is also upside down. "Interesting. Queen and King set at odds. There is someone, perhaps one that looks to you as a leader or a role model, who is unwilling to make decisions. Inviting this person to join your venture will lead to frustration."

Finally, she flips the last card. "The Eight of Pentacles." This card shows a craftsman at work making pentacles in a quiet location. "The Eight of Pentacles represents a good start. It seems you have already taken the first steps toward your goal, whether you realize it or not. If you remain diligent at whatever craft you've put your mind to, you will master it. Unwavering attention will guide you to success."

"What is your question? Remember, you may ask only one."

“ What does the future have in store for me?”

For Theo Stark:

"Have a seat," Lady Doom invites. She shuffles her deck, then spreads the cards out on the table and chooses 3. They are still face down and she gestures to each, starting at the left.

"This represents your physical state. This your mental. This is what may aid your efforts."

She turns over the first card. "The Three of Wands - Reversed." The card shows a man in a green and red robe standing on a high mountain and looking out at the view. He holds firmly onto one of three grounded wands. There are ships sailing by in the background. The card is upside down. "The reversed nature of the card suggests improvement is possible, but you are limiting your potential. I see you are disappointed and frustrated with your progress, but these setbacks are an essential part of your journey. To move forward, reevaluate your plan with a more reasonable time frame."

Lady Doom turns over the second card. "The King of Swords - Reversed." It depicts a king sitting on a throne. He wears a sky blue cloak and holds a sword in his right hand. Again, this card is upside down. "The reversed king of swords that you are not thinking clearly about something. He is also a manipulator - often someone in an organization you are involved in. Possibly an employer, though the suit of Swords often represents the military. This person may be using an emotional weapon against you."

Finally, she turns over the last card. "The Seven of Wands - Upright." This illustrates a man standing atop a hill and defending himself with a wand. There are 6 other wands below him. The man wears two different shoes. "A willingness to fight or defend yourself. A threat or opposition may catch you by surprise, and you feel inadequately prepared for such a battle. Just like the man in the card has rushed to put his shoes on and ended up with a mismatched pair, you must scramble to fight even though you don’t have everything in place. I cannot see if you will win or lose this fight, but either way it will aid your efforts to improve either your physical state or your mental one."

For Hayato Kawajiri:

Lady Doom searched Hayato's eyes, then nodded, giving the question the seriousness that it seemed to deserve. She draws three cards and lays them face down before the boy, tapping each in order from left to right. "This is what will help you. This is what will hinder you. And this is your potential."

She turns the first card. "The Magician." It depicts a figure in a red robe and a snake belt. He holds a wand up toward the sky with his right hand and his left hand points at the ground. An infinity symbol is above his head. The background is yellow with red roses and white lilies. On the table in front of him are the four symbols of the Tarot suits – a cup, pentacle, sword and wand. "Everything you need is already at your finger tips. The seed of an idea has already been planted, you need only harness the willpower to see it through. Commitment to the task is essential, so drop any distractions that may draw your focus away from what you want to achieve."

The fortune teller reveals the middle card. "The Page of Cups - Reversed." The card shows a young page holding a cup. There is a fish in the cup staring back at the page. There is a sea full of waves in the background. "A muting of emotions. The task which you undertake is a heavy one, made more so if the imposter looks like your father. In the moment of decision, you will be assailed by doubts. Open yourself to your intuition."

Finally, she turns over the last card. "The potential if you succeed in your goal. Death - Reversed." Lady Doom's eyes widened slightly and she glanced up at Hayato. "It is not an ill omen," she assured. The card depicts Death as a knight on a white horse. Death carries a black flag decorated with a white, five-petal rose. A king lays dead on the ground and a priest prays over his body. The card is upside down.

"The reversed Death means that when things appear to be at the end - it is really only the beginning of something new. It heralds a personal transformation. No matter what choice you make ..." she gestures back to the middle card for a moment, "your life will be forever changed."
