Snippet #2047023

Joker smirked darkly and closed his eyes as he spoke, holding deadly still clinging the cards between his hands like a statue. "The third glimpses the future." With that there was no sound, it was as if everything around them went still. In the distance, a tree with a branch hanging over the clear lake had a droplet of dew dropping as if in slow motion as Joker drew the third card. As the drop hit the water, Joker turned over the card beside the other two.

The card had a person sitting in the remains of five jars that have broken on the ground.
"You will suffer a great loss, you will lose someone very important to you. Your sacrifice is unavoidable but from the broken pieces you shall rise again."

Joker's eyes faded back to a soft turquoise iris again. The world seemed to be released and began to move once again.
