Text
[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
