The truth is that her magic is not strong enough to face this curse.

:: The sovereigns of books and queen of gold stride into the tower, sure of their victory. ::

She's afraid to face the truth.

We have to keep our eyes and ears open for her stories.

Use your head, child. It's more than that. These are old symbols. There is much to say about them, they have lived many lives, time and time again.

She's locked something away and part of the answer is hidden in a story. Or several stories if I read this correctly.

If you rush to judgement and underestimate her, you will be beaten every time. She's a powerful witch, and despite that, she's capable of challenging us. Look again. What do you see?

:: She gestures to the walls, using wizard light to call out patterns she sees in the markings. ::

:: The Queen of Wands steps in through the portal. Her stern, studious eyes consider her bickering children. The competition is good for the mind. ::

Don't criticize your brother. Just be better than him. There's work to do. Stay alert.

You?! You would break our sanctuary and open up our land to curses unchecked? I would expect such derangement from the suit of Swords. But you?

:: She clamps her mouth shut, lips burning. The next words out are dangerous; a devastating curse waits coiled on her tongue. ::

The proportionate response has already been carried out, Queen. My son struck in self defense, AFTER sacred laws were broken. By your daughter and the Princess of Cups.

:: She casts a glare across the table at the Queen of Cups. ::

Queen of Pentacles, certainly you account for that.

How little confidence you have in the power of knowledge! I do like power. Knowledge is power, power is knowledge. With it we learn what we need to defend the realm.

Perhaps you should seek out my sister of Cups. Her laziness and incuriosity might be more your sped.
