The Fortune Teller's Challenge

A local Renaissance faire I sometimes go to has a booth with someone who tells fortunes, generally with tarot readings. Here we are going to adapt that into our first RenFest challenge.

Step into the booth and click on "draw a card." The computer will draw one for you randomly and give you an interpretation--which is irrelevant for our purposes. The card you get is your prompt.

Any style of response satisfies this challenge--prose, images, a blend of the two, or even a poem. Anything goes!

Can we report back with what card we draw?

The Hermit

An elderly and wise man stands on a small hill, looking down. The light from his lamp, which is a shining star, illuminates the scene.

The Sun "This is the card of contentment, acomplishment, opportunity, and much more." Everything about this card is positive and uplifting. This is going to be tough.

We'll, perhaps the card pertains to the ending of the fic? Or what it's like before things go wrong? Or maybe what's called for is sun stroke, or a fire, but it dull turns out for the best.

Yup, I've got a few ideas of my own. I think I can make it work

Temperance
A winged angel pours water (the essence of life) from one chalice to another. One of her feet is on the earth, and another is in the water, suggesting balance and the nature of life. A crown of light illuminates her head, and a path in the background leads to a shining crown.

Cool!

The Lovers

A brightly shinning sun is at its peak in the sky, and a winged angle-like figure opens its arms, above two naked lovers, who appear to be standing in a Garden-of-Eden type of setting, with the Tree of Life on one side, and the Tree of Knowledge on the other.

:D
