The Spymaster

All warfare is based on deception. There is no place where espionage is not used.

IF HER MOTHER COULD see her now; nose buried in a book, chalice filled not with wine - but with water. The Queen would often scold her daughter for wasting her obvious intelligence in favour of treating her tutors with a certain degree of apathy and disinterest. Of course, she was Lothar’s daughter; she who could simply bat her eyelashes, wish the world away, and her father would oblige. Eliana passed her tutelage with a spotless record - no doubt her teachers would have met a cruel fate had she attained anything other than perfection. Sabine called it a waste. Eliana would rebuff her with claims that studying was a misuse of her efforts; how the times had changed.   In hopes of appeasing both her God and the Priest that both haunted the halls of the holy castle, Eliana took to scouring ancient manuscripts, studying the intricately written words in hopes of finding some insight. Surely, this demonstration of dedication towards Osiris would be rewarded - only time would tell.

Candlelight flickers. Shadows scatter across weathered pages, ❝ I thought I had hidden myself away here adequately enough, ❞ Eliana hums, arm reaching for her chalice, eyes unmoving from the pages beneath her. She takes a  sip of her water, a slice of lemon flavouring it pleasantly enough to quench her thirst, ❝ Whatever it is must be of utmost importance for you to have sought me out here of all places. ❞

At first, the spymaster was content to just observe, as was her nature. But after sometime, she decided perhaps she should speak to the princess. 

“It is a feat indeed to hide oneself from me.” Silaqui mused, making her presence known as she seemed to simply appear from the shadows, snake coiled around her arm. The faintest of smiles graces her features-her expression that usual one of mere amusement as she steps around the table, fingers trailing along it. “A simple spymaster cannot simply check-in? Must I be working all the time?” She was. One would be hard pressed to find Silaqui not at work. But it was easy when your job was enjoyable, as it was to her.

Blue eyes glanced at the chalice, brow arching just a bit before she took a seat across from Eliana, Faust moving from his spot on her arm to lounge across the table. “What has captured your attention so?”

The Magician is the representation of pure willpower. With the power of the elements and the suits, she takes the potential innate in the fool and molds it into being with the power of desire. She understands the meaning behind the words “as above so below” - that mind and world are only reflections of one another. Remember that you are powerful, create your inner world, and the outer will follow. The Magician might mean that it’s time to tap into your full potential without hesitation. You are taking on a new challenge, and it will take all of the power, wit, and strategy you have if you’re to be successful. The time to take action is now. Certain choices will have to be made, and these can bring great changes to come. Harness some of the Magician’s power to make the world that you desire most.
