She wouldn't even touch the cards until she spoke her peace-- no silver had yet touched her palm-- she needed no gratuity. She had to know before she dealt he understood need of fulfill. "Know this," spoke through candlelight. "You were born with gift of will. Not mine to give, nor take away, and know these cards have gravity. It only matters how they're played-- the future is but yours to see... Just the fact that you are here is proof you own your destiny. Little is there set in stone so understand before I read." He nodded as she watched the fun fade within his eyes. Wondering what would be next-- already he had compromised. "Some won't let you touch the cards. But I insist now that you do. Shuffle them until you know-- that confusion lights the view. Keep a prayer in your heart when you choose to question gods. But know they know just what they do-- and when we cry, I say they sob. Pray the elementals leave-- that no imp of devil make-- find the light within your head-- pray--at last--for your own sake." She lit the candles and incense-- damning mystery intense. She saw the fear and gave him stone. "Take this. Know, you're not alone." "Within this rock a church was built. Know you are not made of silt. Sand would just be washed away with castles built from yesterdays." [This message has been edited by serenity blaze (11-14-2002 12:40 AM).] |
