"Somebody is interested in you. Somebody in a position of power, perhaps also someone who deals with those governed only by their animal instincts and impulses. You might have an opportunity to improve your life in a big way, but you may also make a bad decision and lose yourself, or be forced to forsake a dream in favor of more tangible things. As the Fool, you stand on the edge of a precipice, between heaven and hell, and the Devil might be the one to lead you to it." The fortune teller places the card down on top of the Fool, a grinning half-beast with horns protruding from its head, watching over two figures held close to it by the chain around their necks.

The next card is placed directly above the Fool and the Devil, and shows a proud-looking man standing on a chariot, his robe embossed with symbols of the sun, the moon in the background.

"The card in this position represents upcoming events. This specific card is the Chariot. It is an union of individual parts unable to accomplish much on their lonesome, but fearsome and successful when working together. It also represents strife if the parts do not put aside their own desires and submit to a singular will. Given that we are trying to divine your immediate future, this card suggests you may be in for a difficult struggle soon. Now, all that remains to discover is what the end result of that struggle will be."

The fortune teller explains this all as she shuffles the little pile you chose again, concentrating on the deck. After she finishes speaking, she puts it back down, and prepares to draw a card, but hesitates, as if something had caught her attention. Closing her eyes for a moment, she puts the last card on the table: the dead rise and the seas rage within it, as an angel blows on a trumpet from far above.

"Judgement. All Major Arcana." The fortune teller seems worried. "After you are done with your struggles, you will have a very hard, painful choice to make, and something will change for you, permanently. Perhaps an old wound shall heal, or a previously steadfast friendship shall be broken. Whatever happens, you will have to face it head-on or be consumed by it." She gazes at the cards, as if attempting to coax them into telling her something more, but to no avail. Then, she turns her attention to you. "The Major Arcana all foretell events and meetings that cannot be avoided or prevented: they must be dealt with. To be presented with such a certain path can both be a blessing and a curse, and in any case always a rarity. Your ability to make the most out of the knowledge of what is coming will be crucial to avoiding the grief that upcoming events could otherwise cause you."

"And now, it is time for you to leave, as there is nothing else I can do for you until you've progressed a little further in your journey." Producing a piece of paper and a pen from her dress, the fortune teller writes down the fee of the consultation (66.91) on one side, and a mockup of the layout and name of the cards currently on the table on the other. After paying her, she nods you off, an inquisitive look softening her harsh features somewhat as you leave the house.
