THREE OF WANDS

Upright: Looking Ahead, Expansion, Rapid Growth

Reversed: Obstacle, Delays, Frustration

The silver haired woman looked at the young women in front of her.

"I should not tell you this but... I was sent by your mom, Felicia, before she died, to.... Check on you myself. You know that mother's know best and... She asked me to see you. And protect you from your dad."

(Name) looked at her friend, and at the lady that claimed to know her mother. "Then why do I see your reflection older?"

"It's my stand. It's just showing me the age I'm acting like." Raisa said. She looked at the girl whom hadn't taken her stand yet, luckily, and noticed that (Name) took the bait.

"I'm sorry then, Raisa. That's all I wanted to talk to you." Said the girl as she turned around to leave.

"Where are you going?" Asked Sylvia.

"Out with Haru."

"Why?"

"Because neither Jotaro or Noriaki isn't replying? Also because I don't want to go out tomorrow. Also because he owes me 50 yen."

"Ok. Be careful, please."

"I have Moonhigh Queen. I think I'll be able to protect myself."

(Name) left, too lofty for her own good one would say, but she was gone already.

"Gosh I hate that guy." Said Sylvia.

"Why is that?" Asked Raisa.

"When I first met him in the school yard, he called me to skip classes, after the lunch. That was right before (Name) went to do tarot readings to the boys. And Haru was there, and we somewhat spied them."

"Ok so the boy has a strange crush on (Name). That's not that bad."

"That's not the bad part. All of those who were at his table were American students. He asked everyone, if she knew anything about her. I was the only one somehow. The last thing I remember before a black fog until the next day was a figure that looked like a wendigo."

Raisa looked at the girl with fear.

"Wendigo?"

.•°•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•°•.

Kakyoin Noriaki woke up at around 11 am. Tired and dizzy, he looked at a weird wrapped box next to his bed. Ripping the outer layer, he saw what he got: a guitar.

"MOM! DAD! I LOVE YOU BOTH!" He shouted.

"What did you say, Noriaki?" His father entered, looking at his son holding the guitar and adjusting its cords. "Oh... I see. Your mom is gone for a bit but she'll come back soon."

Noriaki started playing the guitar a bit and before his father left he said: "You're good at instruments. Also I like what you did to your hair."

The redhead was confused, and blamed everything on the fact that he slept and probably his father was sarcastic.

He continued to meddle the guitar.

.•°•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•°•.

"The caller is unavailable. Please try again later."

"Fucking Haru. Pick up your phone."

The girl tried one more time and then gave up. She looked at her homework and decided to finish it. In less than 3 hours, she was done and checked the phone. No calls.

"He usually replies fast. What the...?"

She put it all to rest and decided it was time for her to spoil herself a bit spiritually.

She turned off every light, any device and pulled all the curtains. The (e/c) girl decided to light herself some candles and took her crystal collection out.

"One's missing..." She said.

She looked in her handbag and noticed a small box.

She opened it and saw a pretty big emerald, and a piece of paper saying:

"I hope you'll find this gift handy, Kakyoin Noriaki"

"Thanks. I needed that." She said out loud as if he was right there.

On a table there were a bowl of water and a small wind chime that, with the help of a stand, was hanging up from the ceiling. The chime was unmoved, and the girl burnt some sage before proceeding to everything she wanted to do.

"Here goes nothing." She said, making a cross and whispering a small prayer.

"I call upon thy, from the realm of the dead, for my mother, Felicia (Surname)"

The room was dead silent, and even the heartbeats of the girl were considered too loud. "I knew it was a waste of time."

The wind chime suddenly rang.

"Mom...!" She said, a year running down her cheek. "Show me your face in the water please!"

The girl looked over the still water, that suddenly started having rings of movement. The figure inside was Felicia. (Name) knew her mother.

"There's so much I want to tell you... But before I do that, jingle once for yes and twice for no. Jingle once if you understood."

The chime stopped and only one of the chimes resonated with sound.

"Can you share knowledge from the past or future?"

One jingle.

"Good... Mom, I missed you... And I need your help. Is anything going to happen to me?"

One jingle.

"Bad?"

Two jingles.

"Good?"

Two jingles.

"Both?"

One jingle.

"Will my friends be safe?"

Two jingles.

"Because of me?"

One jingle.

"... And my destiny."

One final jingle and all the lights of the candles were blown out, the lights of the room were now on and the chime fell into her own hands.

"Sylvia, Noriaki, Jotaro... I'm sorry for a that will come."
