Talis: Divination without Magic
[Each page in this illustrated book describes the meaning of a different Talis card. A message has been penned down on the title page:] My dearest Quelenna, While you were sleeping, I did another Talis reading. I half expected to draw the fool, because that is what I feel like, and what is your venture if not reckless? Instead, I drew these: The Ten of Waves - meaning divine love, bliss, or illusions The Comet - meaning riches found, or fulfilled wishes Death - meaning new beginnings The suit of Waves resembles love, and I know what we have is still frail, but... can you blame my heart for beating faster when I saw these cards? I've been staring at them for an hour, and I need to go (the cups aren't going to clean themselves), but I know that when I come back home tonight, you will be gone. But when you return, will you tell me if you feel the same, or if this was all just a blissful illusion? I love you, Alys
