The Day was nigh, the moment before the war started, Kurosuji was experiencing a great life...
Door opening,
The Sun is shining, Birds are flying.
...
I said to myself, "Hmm, Just another day of experiencing a normal life,"
I grabbed the newspaper lying on the floor and I went inside,
Door closed.
I went to the Living room to continue the T.V show I was watching,
(T.V News Talk)
[Hmm... I need to finished my studies or else my Teacher will be mad again, and I can't bear to hear her words coming straight into my ears] said to myself,
I looked at my right,
[Maybe Later...] Said to myself,
A Bright light shined in front of me..
And I was shocked..
I shouted in fear, [Goodness gracious, This ain't a normal life!?]
Then the Light took form of a Card then it fell to the floor,
I checked the Card..
As I get close and I read the writing...
I read and said, [Judgement? Wait-wait, Is this a freaking Tarot Card?]
First, I checked his surroundings and grabbed the Card,
...
Said to myself, "Hmm... What to do with this thing."
(T.V News Ended with a thing that people can't understand in the screen)
:The Tarot Nations shall concede with a War:
I stood up and went to the Kitchen, As I open the Fridge, All I see is just the fridge without stock..
[Maybe I should go restock for food]
Time have passed,
said to myself, "Alright, Everything is now Okay, Time to go"
I opened the Door and Closed it, then I went to the nearby Grocery market,
Kurosuji walking,
"I wished my family was here, I mean They went abroad without telling me. That's so unfair.."
As I walked past a stranger, I sensed something familiar..
Said to myself, "What was that? Hmm.. Nah I'll just ignore it,"
>>Then He Arrived at the Grocery Market,,
Cold, Fresh, Stored with lots of Stuff.
A Hour had passed he got home with his "Groceries"...
and in this moment he is staring at the Card in the Table..
"Hmm...."
Grabs Remote and turned on the T.V
said to myself, "I'll mind the card later.."
(Breaking News!!)
A Terrorist Attack at the Mall! The Terrorist have some kind of card thing that literally summons another man to help her with her acts, Here's the Footage.
a Beautiful Girl at the Entrance..
Grabs the card in her pocket, raised her hand and shouted...
[Come forth! Temperance! Strike at Will to the wickedness!]
Then the Card shined and summoned a man so handsome..
He said to the Girl, [Yes? What is it Master?]
She replied, [Tantaleus!! Strike at Will I say!]
He said, [Yes, Yes.. House of Atreus..]
Then the Mall slowly turning into a Man feeding grounds,
The Reports claimed that there were Total Deaths of 43, Total Injuries of 603 and some luckily survived.
...
I jaw dropped, and questioned myself,
"How the fuck did she do that?"
Then I realized something...
I stood up and said,
[Is this, A War of the Cards?]
Then Looks at the Card in the table with grievance...
I said, [Judgement... then if I have a Major Arcana will there be Minors too?]
(News Flash!)
Another Terrorist was reported and it's the same as the last one.
I shouted, [Again?!]
The Footage is here with us and we'll roll the clip.
A Teenage Boy walked towards an crowd in a park,
He grabbed something in his pocket,
He had a Card in his hand and said.
He Shouted, "I Beseech thee, the King of Pentacles.."
Then the Card flashed and there he was.
He asked, "What do you want to do Suromu?"
Suromu Answered, "I want to see their astral spirits, Master.."
He said to him, "Then Kill them.."
He replied, "Okay! Master."
Suromu raised his hand and shouted.
He casts, "Cartomancy Execution! Clavicula Solomonis!"
Then A Magic Circle appeared in the sky,
He shouts, "Pay heed!"
Then he dropped his hand.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
And It started to drop Stars and Spirit Blades on the ground.
Then the Boy looked at the camera and shouted,
[All-Father is angered, The Beasts has been awoken, Reconcile or suffer the consequences!]
The Deaths are a total of 80,
None of the reports claimed that this is a normal terrorist institution or organization attack but its extraordinary, The Government calls it, The Order of the Dark Ages.
...
At that moment, I was scared, fearing that the world will end..
I looked at the Card like a coward.
I said to myself, "It's no use if All-Father chosen me"
I fought my fears and grabbed the Card,
[There's no turning back being the one that been chosen by All-Father!]
I showed the card and casted,
[Beseech Thee, Judgement!]
then the Card shined so bright, It trailed in front of me and took form of a Girl.
Then a Girl was summoned in front of me, wearing some kind of Chiton.
[Kurosuji Ceres, From now on. You'll be my Master and I'll be at your care] she spoken to me,
From that moment, I realized that All-Father is just bored that he himself summoned this cards and beasts, and also this war to entertain himself,
....
I seated and went to the phase of being clueless,
I asked her, [What is your name?]
Then she looked into my eyes and answered my question, [Themisia]
From the moment she said that, I suddenly became clueless and asked, "Themisia? Like the Titaness, Themis?"
She answered, [Yes,]
Moment have passed, the situation we have is still the same...
But something came in my mind, I asked,
[What the hell is going on? This Terrorist or Organization that the Government calls the "Order of the Dark Ages" reports has the same card as me..]
Then she became confident, she answered.
[As you can see Master, the First War of Tarot Nations is here, The All-Father sent us here to participate to win the Fruit of Man's Greatest Wishes..]
I suddenly becamed surprised and said to her,
[Oh Okay -- wait! Did you say Fruit of Man's Greatest Wishes?]
Themisia became confident and answered my question,
[The Fruit of Man's Greatest Wishes is one of the blessings that the All-Father create to let his people know the secrets of his creation and it will gave one wish,]
She asked me, [W-What is your wish master?]
Suddenly, I bereft.. then I answered..
[I don't know, My life is just you know. Normal, Boring, and stuff that you will call a normal human being, well.. my wish will be the salvation of all humans from the chains of the devil itself,]
Themisia hugged me, and said
[Master, even if you're a normal human being, Nothing will tear our servanthood apart, I can protect you, and all the things you want. just to win this war, for us.. and for the sake of those who were chained by the devil itself,]
...
> Day before the Appearance of the Card titled "Judgement" to its rightful Master,
>> Abroad, Location: The Pearl of the Orient Seas
A Girl was walking in the streets, then she grabbed something on her pocket.
It's a Card titled: The Star.
She then took a walk on the corner of the street then she arrived at the River bank,
Near the River,
She said, "Okay Let's do this, Summon! The Star!"
Then the Card in her hand started to shine, It trailed and took form of a Man with Fox Ears, then it spoke,
He said to Reita, [I'm Akito Kitsurugi! The Fox God of the Astral War, and you. Reita Ceres! will be my Master]
She looked into Akito's eyes and asked, {What is your Cartomancy?]
He answered, [My Cartomancy is: Astraea and It's rank is A+]
She asked, [What does it do?]
He answered, [I will call upon the Astral Gods to gave me the Weapon of Free fire,]
She turned her back and said, [Okay okay.. well, we'll go back to Osaka, Might as well investigate something,]
He said to her, [Yes, Master.]
...
>> Kurosuji's Place,
I asked her, [What is this Cartomancy Execution that the King of Pentacles said?]
She answered,
[Cartomancy Execution is where our Cartomancy will activate, but for us Major Arcanas, we don't need to say it, we can just concentrate or something and it will activate our cartomancy]
I asked,
[So it's like Temperance's Cartomancy, Then I have a question, Since I saw what Temperance's actual Cartomancy looked like, so here's the thing. what is your Cartomancy?]
Themisia answered,
[Mine is: Those who Fall down Shall Rise. and Its rank is S+]
I asked again. [What? S+? Is it super powerful?]
She answered, [For now, I won't tell you what my cartomancy looked like and how it is,]
He replied, [Okay..]
>> Time :5:59
When the night was at sight, I prepared the bed where Themisia will sleep and I, Don't know what's our dinner,
I went to her and said,
[Themisia, Do you eat umm, Katsudon?]
She asked, [Katsudon?]
I answered, [Yes, Mom used to make this for me every time I achieve something great or etc,]
She replied, [Okay..]
I said to her, [Sit here, I'll prepare it in a few minutes]
She stood up, walked towards the table, and seated,
A few minutes have passed and two Pork Katsudon has been served,
I prayed and said, [Thanks for the Meal, All-Father]
She said as well, [Thanks for the Meal...]
She took a bite and said, [This is Delicious!]
I said, [Really?, well I want to cherish it with all my Heart.]
She blushed,
Somebody Knocked at the Door and shouted, "Kurosuji-niichan! I'm back!"
She looked into me and said, [Master, It could be a enemy!]
I replied, [Don't worry, It's my sister, Mom said she will come back early.]
She looked confused and she continued to eat,
I shouted, [Come in, the door's open!]
Then Reita came in and saw me with another Girl,
She shouted, [BIG BROTHER!!]
She ran towards me, pointed at Themisia and said, [Who is this Girl!?]
Then Themisia Telepathically whispered me,
[Master, I can sense that You're Sister is a fellow Master too, I Highly recommend not to tell that you're a Master too.]
Reita senses something similar and a little bit suspicious or fishy,
She said to Themisia, [You're the Judgement right?]
I suddenly became Irritated said to Reita, [No, no, no. She's just a friend of mine..]
She looked at me and said, [Nah, I already knew, you know why?]
I asked, [Why?]
She answered, [She has a glowing mark in her neck]
I then looked at Themisia's neck and saw a glowing mark in her neck,
Then the card in her pocket glowed, and summoned Akito,
Themisia replied, [How is the Hand of Nine Paths doing, Reina-sama?]
I said, [Hand of Nine paths? Reina-sama?]
Reita said, [I will answer that but first, prepare us two Katsudon,]
I replied, [Huh? Well, if that's what you want then..]
After a few minutes, I prepared two more Katsudon for Akito and my Little sister,
They seated by the table,
I said to my sister, [Now, What is this Hand of Nine Paths, and are we going to kill each other?]
She answered,
[The Hand of Nine Paths was All-Father's sacred relic that no mere mortal wanted to disturb it, the relic is powerful and it can cause global destruction, and Second. No! The War has Two teams residing the Four suits and the 22 Cards.]
Akito joined the discussion and said, [Man this is delicious, don't you agree Themisia]
Themisia replied, [Yeah, It's pretty delicious and healthy]
...
I asked my sister, [So are we on the same team?]
She answered,
[Yes, Apparently the ones you saw on the news was the other team, And also, The Teams are Identified as "The Command of the Divinations" and "The Order of the Dark Ages", We are on "The Command of the Divinations" that consist of members from all the Suits of Swords, and Suits of Wands. and the Major Arcanas are: The Fool, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Hierophant, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, Death, The Tower, The Star, The Moon and Judgement".]
I said to her, [So it's like an, 39 army war?]
She replied, [Yes and Apparently, A Master and Arcana died on the other team]
I asked, [Who is this Master and What is the Arcana?]
She answered, [The Master is unidentified due to its burned properties, and the Arcana Card or Tarot Card is torn and ripped into pieces but it was titled, "Wheel of Fortune"]
Akito said, [Wheel of Fortune?! Don't you mean...]
Themisia placed her hand into his hand and said,
[Yes, It was... Saya-]
Akito became sad,
[Sayaki Surawasaki, you're wife... I'm humbly sorry about what happened]
He stood up and went back to the card,
I asked, [Who is Sayaki?]
She answered,
[As you can see, Akito is a Fox God of the Astral War, which is a war from another dimension, He was married to a girl named Sayaki, A charming, beautiful, and kind girl who can do anything for Akito. Since she was the Wheel of Fortune, I can tell that Sayaki was Fortunate Girl to marry Akito, the Wheels of her Fate with Akito is always spinning, Her cartomancy is: For the Fortune's Luck, It's an buff type and It's rank is S+]
I felt humbly terrible and said, [Poor Akito, If I can only do something for him,]
She said to him, [There is a way to revive the Wheel of Fortune, But She will not take the title: "Wheel of Fortune" anymore..]
I replied, [Really? How?]
Reita said to Themisia, [Themisia-san, you have the Spellbook of All-Father's Creation?]
Themisia replied, [Yes!]
Reita said, [Good cause the Incident happened nearby the airport, I went there and Investigate, I have the Card Pieces, all we need is just the spell, I don't have affinity for Mana but you do]
Reita said to Themisia, [Give him the Spell for Revival of All Things.]
Themisia replied, [Yes.]
She gave me the Book opened in the page where the spell was located,
I said to myself, "Revival of All Things.."
Reita gave the Card Pieces and said, [Here are the Cards pieces of the Wheel of Fortune,]
Once she gave me the card pieces, I felt the soul of Sayaki, crying and wandering within the pieces of the cards,
I said to the soul with the card pieces, "Don't worry Sayaki"
I then placed the Card Pieces in order and casted,
"Oh Divine Beings, Seraphims, Protect thy Lone Legend in thy pieces, Bring the broken back, Let the Fiends in thy Pieces, burn in All-Fathers Light, The Path of the Holy shall come, and The All-Father shall give you a New Life"
Then the Card Pieces glowed, It slowly turning back to what it was then there it was, A Card under the Title no longer: Wheel of Fortune, but under the title: The Vengeance,
Reita said, [Now then, Summon her.]
I replied, [Okay..]
I grabbed the card and casted, "Beseech thee, The Vengeance!"
Then the card glowed dark and took form of a woman,
Sayaki Surawasaki, The Vengeance
She then looked at me, she kneeled and said, [From now on, You'll be my Master and I'll be the duo of your current Arcana, For as I, Sayaki! Has the Cartomancy called: Black Void, and It's rank is S+]
I replied, [Wait-wait, please stand up, It's embarrassing,]
She responded, "Yes! Master"
She stood up..
Reita asked, [So Sayaki, tell me what is your Divination Weapon?]
Sayaki replied, [I'll only answer that if my Master approved.]
I said, [It's alright to tell, tell yours too Themisia.]
Sayaki answered the previous question, [My Divination Weapon is: The Blade of Lost Sorrows.]
Reita and I were suprised and said, [Really? What about yours Themi-chan?]
Themisia answered the question, [Mine is the: Bow of Known Oracles]
We gave her a round of applause,
Reita announced, [Now then, We'll go to the HQ, Where we will train to kill "Beasts of the Occult"]
I asked, [Beasts of the Occult? What is this "Beasts of the Occult", and where are we going? HQ?]
She answered, [Since the disturbance of the Hand of Nine Paths, The Beasts of the Occult was summoned into the lands of the south. By tonight, The Government will build a Wall and secondly, The HQ is at Wakayama Prefecture, tonight we go,]
I then asked another question, [Wait- Beasts of the Occult summoned? where?]
She answered, [The Beasts of the Occult was spotted 10 days ago in Shirahama, Susami, Taiji and Nachikatsuura. they were now identified and the blacksmith and weaponsmith of the Command has created weapons capable of killing these beasts,]
She slide a gun to me,
She said, [That is the Triad Reaper, The Commander wanted you to keep this because it was suited to your mental knowledge of guns,]
I asked, [Wait, how did the Commander know my mental stuff and etc?]
She answered, [Who knows.]
Sayaki asked, [Where is Akito?]
Reita answered, [Apparently, He was depressed when he heard the news you were dead, so right now. we don't want to surprise him,]
She replied, [Okay,]
Reita said to her brother, [Kurosuji-niichan, rest for a bit. by midnight we'll go to the HQ]
I responded, [Yes.]
...
Hours have passed, Themisia, Sayaki, and Kurosuji are a sleep.
Reita is talking to someone on the phone...
When the clock strikes 12, The 3 were awoken and packed everything they need, and they set out.
As soon as they set out, They went to a location where they would be picked up,
They Arrived at the Location,
There are Soldiers guarding the location in case of enemy attacks, one gets close and said,
[Reita-sama, we've come to pick you up as well as you're brother.]
She responded, [Thank you so much, well please put our bags in the Jeep, we need to hurry..]
the Soldier replied, [Yes, your Highness.]
I said to her, [your Highness?]
Reita responded, [Don't mind that]
Everything is fixed, Their bags are on the jeep, have everything under control now, The Soldiers who were guarding the place started to hop aboard the Army Truck,
The Driver started the Engine and they were on their way..
...
An Hour and a Half have passed, they are now at the middle point of Wakayama,
I noticed that my Little Sister has a mark that is glowing, I didn't noticed it and I didn't mind it. I looked by his right, A Sight of the sun was seen and I noticed something, a blinking light in the distance,
I woke up his little sister and said, [We have to go faster!]
She responded, [Why?!]
He replied, [Because--]
Then a Explosion Interrupted their journey,
Blood is everywhere, The Jeep and the Army Truck was destroyed, The Bag they packed survived but no soldier have survived, the only ones who survived was Kurosuji and his Little Sister
I shouted, [What the heck!]
Then I felt the ground shaking,
I asked, [What the hell is going on?!]
Then the Judgement Card Glowed, and Summoned Themisia,
She casted, "All-Father, Give me the Bow of Courage!"
Then a Bow was summoned, she grabbed the bow and she prepared an arrow.
I said to myself, "The Bow of Oracles.."
Someone shouted, [How nice, Judgement.]
She responded, [The Magician! Show yourself!]
He responded, [Occasionally, I will but my Master said to lead one of the Beast to kill you guys,]
She replied, [Tch..]
Then the Ground started to shake more,
Reita shouted, [Big Brother! Use your Gun!]
I responded, [Right-right!]
I then grabs the Gun in my bag and loaded it,
I said to myself, "This should do it!"
I pulled the trigger and fired it at point-blank,
The Beast screamed in pain,
Reita cheered me, [Way the go!]
Themisia shoots arrows towards the Beast's Eye,
Then the Beast screamed in agony and died,
She said to me, [Master, The Beast ain't dead yet, The Core lies within the Eye, Chest and Mouth.]
I responded, [Okay..]
At the Distance, a vehicle from the Command was at sight,
I said to myself, "We're saved,"
...
>>Location: Tokyo.
In a room where there's a table and a Big Chessboard on top of it,
There's two man playing chess but something's odd about the game,
The Chess Pieces was replaced by Tarot Cards,
The Man said to the Opponent, "It seems that the man with two arcanas has been transported to the Command."
The Opponent responded, "I know, now that we don't have the Wheel of Fortune, The Stakes of winning this war is at 47%"
Flips the Wheel of Fortune Card,
The Man Asked, "How will the All-Father respond to this phenomena?"
The Opponent answered, "All-Father can create various reasons, and of course, He's the All-Father. All the things we create are his, Respect it. not by destroying it."
The Man responded, "Seems so."
Looked at the window,
The Man said, "The Land has no more Rising Sun, The Land was already drenched in blood due to a reason that we can't deny."
...
