<br>'''Gabe:''' A piece of obsidian washed smooth by water, but then scratched and chipped as left the river and crossed harsh rocks on its way to you. It retains the memory of volcanic heat, tempered into comforting warmth. Looking through it your vision becomes clear and sharp, you see things as they really are. And although it is not made for it, should you be desperate you could use it as a weapon. | <br>'''Gabe:''' A piece of obsidian washed smooth by water, but then scratched and chipped as left the river and crossed harsh rocks on its way to you.

Patient and appearing to be happy just lying in the sun and doing nothing - but when it strikes it will be quickly and deadly. But if it is your friend, good things happen to you and bad things to your enemies. |
<br>'''Robert:''' The totem fits well indeed. A young wolf, but in the wild time passes quickly and he has seen his share of fights and scars. He lives on what he hunts, eats well after every kill and grows lean between successful hunts. Going his way alone, but loyal where he finds himself with a pack. His dangerousness and cunning and the subject of proverbs and folk tales. | <br>'''Robert:''' The totem fits well indeed.

You can try to steer the leaf in one direction, but you can never control all the winds on which it rides and thus never catch it. He is part of the wind, yet he is not, his path is determined by it, yet it is not. | <br>'''Jian:''' A leaf on the wind, taking every twist and turn of the chaos like it's his own breath.

− | The | + | The Air Aspect stands at the very precipice of a mountain, the winds spin around him, and they distract him as he is about to walk off the peak, though to his death or a new adventure is unknown. He is in very American clothes, with his charkam in hand, unaware of the danger at hand, due to the winds' joyful caresses.<br> |

Lying on the table before him is a golden scepter and an ornate crown. The sides of his chair have rams on them as well, and looms over him, almost as if it is a throne.<br> |

Liz stands bright and gleaming as if she is metal, a blindfold covering her eyes, and her face obscured by the flaming sword she holds in one hand, and scales held in the other. She wears the robes of a judge, colored like the night. She doesn't smile or speak, and on her brow, even though the sword, you can see the caste mark of the Night. Her surroundings burn somewhat, for even as she is the night, she is also a living flame.<br> | Liz stands bright and gleaming as if she is metal, a blindfold covering her eyes, and her face obscured by the flaming sword she holds in one hand, and scales held in the other.

The picture is obviously upside-down, so the glowing Solar's head is at the bottom of the card. Gabe is lying on the floor of a library, his legs crossed as to look like the number four, a book covered with runes on his chest. There is a content smile on his lips, as if he finally has understood a mystery and can give into a well-deserved sleep. He looks dead, but it's obvious if one waits, he'll rise up again. | The picture is obviously upside-down, so the glowing Solar's head is at the bottom of the card.

There is a circle broken, one of black wood. However, there are eight people in the ruins, all doing something different. Two figures, one silver, one gold, move away wreckage of the dark ring. Two flames, one of passion and one of justice, dance in the forge, encouraged by the wind, to aid a third golden figure in smelting a new circle, one made out of shining gold. A fourth golden figure, more feminine, like the two fires, holds the pieces together in the face of the forces against the new cycle's union. Finally, the fifth figure of gold is directing people in gathering the materials needed, making sure things run smoothly. United, they create a world anew.<br> | There is a circle broken, one of black wood. However, there are eight people in the ruins, all doing something different.
