You walk through the cold, dark woods - lost and unsure how you got there. The trees are gnarled and bare, creaking at the stiff wind that brings chills down your back. You gather your cloak around you and push forward, with only the light of the moon to guide you. Brushes and thickets crowd your path, and you feel like something is following you. You turn! But… nothing - and no one - is there. You continue on, following a little light that appears to your left, beckoning you.
At last, you reach the light - a flame burning on a thin, dripping candle in front of a worn wooden shack. You hesitate, not sure if you should run or knock to seek for help. Before you can decide, the door flies open! Standing in front of you is a young woman, pale as milk with raven hair. Purple and black cloths drape her small frame, and her nails are long and pointed.
“Come in,” she says in a low voice, and you follow by what feels like no will of your own. Inside, the walls are covered in hanging tapestries and crystals. A small circular table with tarot cards and a swirling crystal ball sit ominously in the middle of the floor. You enter, watching the shadows of the fire dance across the room. The woman sits at the table, motioning for you to sit across her.
“You are here to hear your fortune.” There was no question in her voice, and your throat tightens. She hovers her hand over the crystal ball. Your eyes widen as it lifts off the table, spinning and glowing. An image becomes visible and you lean in. You gasp as you realize the image is of you, walking in the woods.
“Let us begin,” the woman breathes.
