I once danced.
Not well.
But with joy.
Before kingship. Before war.
Before they died.
I made these cards to remember that movement—
The Dancer's Flame — for those who fight beautifully.
The Laughing Gate — for those whose strength is born when all else is lost.
The Ashen Cradle — for the guardians who watch everything they protect… fade.
The Crimson Coin — for those who paid in suffering.
That moment before despair.
But joy doesn't last.
Despair is patient.
Even the brightest embers… dim.
