The Forgotten
Luther's POV Standing in the crowded marketplace, I watched the carriage carrying the queen parade by. I tried to hide in the shadows of my sister's market stall, not wanting to call attention to myself, for I knew of her demands for the humans that lived in this and the surrounding villages. Once you entered the castle, you either came out as one of them or never came out. I wanted neither scenario to befall me, and I should not have come into town today.

Tarot: The Twenty-Two Major Arcana
I have been a Tarot reader, professionally, for eight years. In that time, I have done thousands and thousands of readings. I do them every day, in the wee hours of the morning, for people who sometimes call me multiple times in one day; some have been calling me, off and on, for years. I like to think that, after all that experience, I know a thing or two about Tarot. At least, I know a thing or two about the interpretation of cards.
