As you look closer at the silks, you notice that their patterns are moving, swirling to form galaxies and strange runic symbols. Something about this room pulls at you, as if you are meant to enter here. [/size] [columns][font=Book Antiqua][size=5]Stepping through the doorway, you find yourself in a dimly lit room with a shadowy shape standing across from you. Suddenly, the candles on the walls flare brighter, revealing an Imperial sitting behind a table, claws folded. Cards swirl around her body, one or two occasionally dipping close to her ears as if to whisper something. As you take all of this in, she smiles mysteriously and beckons you forward.

I am Merlot, the Library’s cartomancer. It seems you were drawn to me, perhaps because there you have a burning question that needs an answer? The cards know all, and I can read their secrets. Simply tell me what you wish to know.” She delicately clears her throat and pushes forward a small jar filled with gold pieces. “For a price, of course.”[/size] [font=Book Antiqua][size=4][i][b]RULES[/b] 1.

She was ill, though her mate and clanmates had been helping a bit. To know her future... perhaps it'd give some closure. Or possibly some hope. "A-Ah..." "...Perhaps, you could tell me if I could recover from this plague?" She hoped for the best, but expected the worst.

@wendigoheart Merlot’s eyes softened in sympathy at the ill mirror’s question. The cards swirled together in a fan shape between her claws which she held out to the mirror, motioning for her to pick three from the deck. Taking the cards chosen by Vanir, she laid them facedown on the table, flipping the one on the left. “Past: The Moon. This card suggests that there are events in your past that are clouding your judgement, your understanding of these moments influenced too heavily by your current circumstances. Elimating uncertainty will lead to peace.” She flipped over the middle card. “Present: The Ace of Swords. This card indicates a period of change. Here, the sword is pointing downward, a sign of challenges and sacrifices. The results may not be certain, but truths will be revealed.” Flipping over the final card, her face smoothed into a smile. “Future: The Six of Swords. Often called The Path Out of Danger, this card promises an overcoming of struggle. The challenges you face in the present will provide necessary growth, making you stronger in the end.” [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lHZXUkM.jpg[/img]

Seraphim sat down, pulling his goggles up to reveal his crimson eyes. "You see, you may have heard of recent peculiar events. And my clan, the Misfits, have been through some things." He paused, as if taking a few moments to think, before continuing. "And I fear it may be changing for the worst. It started off something minor, with the other two leaders and I deciding to provide supplies for the rebellion in the Fire flight. But then the First Seed was planted, causing plants to completely take over our lair for several days. Now some of our dragons are pushing for war against Nature despite our original vision for it to be a peaceful and neutral clan. I cannot turn to Oceanum as she suddenly could not recieve anymore visions. I just want to know if everything will turn out fine for the Misfits in the end."

He gives a polite bow to Merlot in response to her greeting. "Greetings, wise cartomancer. I have traveled across Sorienth, helping those in need and defending those I care about. Unfortunately, one particular dragon who I once trusted stole an important part of me, and he taunts me no matter where I am. He has led me on a wild goose chase and always seems to be two strides ahead of me. I want to know if I will ever catch the dragon who wronged me, and I wish to know what will happen when I do." He pauses for a moment, and glances at the jar of coins. He removes some of his citrine jewelry and tosses the pieces neatly into it, causing a series of clinks. "As of the moment, I need to save my treasure for traveling expenses. I hope you will accept jewelry as tribute."

He took a moment to look around the dimly lit room, appreciating the aesthetic of the room. As always, he smirked. "Hmm... This is interesting.", he said to himself. He waved his paw to the cartomancer before him. "Hello, it's nice to see you, wise one. Let me take a sit first." He sat down in front of the table, dusting off his clothes and his tail from his adventures. He swallowed his saliva before continuing. "Can you tell me how my marriage with [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=44948&tab=dragon&did=41076738]Robin[/url] will go? I recently got married to him so it will be nice to tell the next things. Please accept this bag of coins as tribute.". He picked out a small bag of coins and gently placed it in the table.

"Miss Merlot? I'd like to know if I'll... find someone. Again, I mean. We parted ways a long time ago, and I miss her greatly." With her little speech finished, the odd Tundra combed her claws through her shaggy coat for a tip, finding only a few leaves.

"Lady Merlot, is that right? Well, I'm afraid I do have a question that could be solved by your cards..." The bogsneak seems entranced by the enchanted cards swirling around Merlot. "I know this might be a question you get asked often, but am I destined to ever find love?" Hades offers Merlot a golden lamp. [Item=Serpentine lamp] "This is an enchanted relic. A spirit lives within it." Says the bright-red bogsneak.

He approached the beautiful Merlot's table with a rusted treasure chest and placed it before her. The tiny fae trembled as he looked up to her, "M'lady Merlot? My name is Yukio, and I come on behalf of my clan. They are my new family, and I just joined them a week ago. Lately, the clan has been more crowded than we've expected and I fear i'll lose some of my friends. Our option for an expansion is beyond what treasure we have now, and I need to know if your cards see any hope or foresee a change in our clan…"
