Fiona looks over Mandor's shoulder as he casts a private fortune one sunday morning. She tssks under her breath as she reads the cards herself despite her disdain for the practice.

Fiona says, "Dear, you know where real oracles are. Don't you think casting card auguries is just a little too cute? What would Suhay say?" chuckling at the irony.

Mandor sips the light rose wine-"yes, I do know where real oracles are. Would you care to discuss your experience sitting in the Oracle of Night? ".

She flicks his ear as she storms out of the room.

Putting down his book Henry asks, "Where are real Auguries, Father?"

Michael James Watson Michael James Watson "Real soothsayers, the theory in Chaos and some realms of shadows goes that once someone places themselves within the perceptive sphere of the oracle, either a person or a place, the forces looks down possible lines considering the person involved. The better the oracle, the more exact the reading. However, the same person, and the same oracle, have often yielded different results at different times. When this occurs skeptics think the soothsaying false. Others, such as myself, think it was merely looking down another likely outcome." "The question then, is how accurate in the oracle and what is the bias of the oracle? Can the oracle look down a few possible lines or down millions of lines or look down a line for a million years? How often does the oracle pick the most likely outcome and deliver that result? "And that is where your mother gets in trouble..If i go on...I foretell a frosty week for the both of us with her. Do you think that is soothsaying or experience with the principle? Shall I go on?" Edit or delete this Like
