about
You are half-steeped in magic. The discarded product of a scorned union between witch and human, you were doomed from conception. Your mother left before you could learn your true heritage, or impart it on your useless father, and in its absence you learned only hate – for her, for yourself, for fate and the poor hand it dealt you. Dumfries was meant to be a stepping stone, and perhaps it was, but not in the direction you intended. Now you stare the truth in the face, and you wonder if you were better off blind to it. But you would be a fool to deny the blood in your veins, and the darkness in you it stirs.
connections
QUEST: You’ve never been one to hold court, give answers, lead the pack. It isn’t in your nature. And so you’re not sure what they’re looking for in you, beyond distraction, but you’re sure you don’t like this new attention.
DELPHI: If knowledge is power, then they must be something divine. But you worship no one, and the glances they give you are unnerving at best. They know something you don’t, speak only in half-truths, and it nearly drives you mad.
WHISPER: They say so little, and you so much; the quiet, cold stone to your blazing fire. Perhaps that is why you pour yourself into them, because they swallow it without complaint. You think they’re the only one who hasn’t yet caught on your rough edges.
the cards
UPRIGHT: You reconcile the magic and mortal that war inside you, make up for the lost years your mother robbed you of. The magic will never come to easy to you like it does the Wardlaw girls, but you press forward, and the answers you seek unravel at your fingertips.
REVERSED: You embrace the darkness, reject the light, and it consumes you. You learn to master the fear of the unknown, the chaos that sings in your veins, and crush the doubt that threatens at the edges of your vision. You are a monument to your mother’s sins.
