The Arcana and The Fool: Chapter 4 - Why?
It was almost noon as Justin looked inside the chest of books and items. He didn’t want to be late to the town square where the announcement would be made. He scowled, “If I could just find that damn book.” He muttered, he knew there was a spell that could possibly help him find objects of importance to a person, but hadn’t used it in so long he semi-forgot it. Not wanting to risk a backfire, he looked for Asra’s spell book that held most of the others they used. His best guess was that either Asra took it with him, or that trickster spirit passed through again and hide it. That really wasn’t the only reason he came to the shop, he was checking up on things, had a few customers looking for some herbs to help with colds and coughs, and getting a few crystals to store some memories in. A lot had happened over the last few days that he wanted to store his memory of them to review for later. Justin didn’t do that often, but he had never been in a case about murder before. Asra always

It’s bright, warm, and comforting where Justin sat on the soft grass. “When will he come?” his voice asked softly. “Soon.” A soft, soothing voice spoke back just to the left. Yet, he couldn’t turn his head to look. Justin instead found himself saying, “How do you know?” Something soft, fluffy touched his hand that laid on the grass beside him. “Soon.” It promised again with a hint of amusement in its tone. Justin smiles at that, looking out at the rising sun just a ways from the place he sits. This place, it’s home, it’s his place, like Asra’s oasis in the Magicians realm. The pain was gone, the fear was gone, and he found he accepted it whole heartily. Endless fields, endless possibilities. Something wet pressed on his cheek, “Chosen.” The voice spoke again. Justin turned to see pale white eyes, filled with comfort and love, then heard knocking. -0-0-0-0-0- He opened his eyes to the sunlight filtering through the window to the balcony. Justin blinked blurrily as the dream faded

The small bits of sunlight stream through the curtains as Justin opened his eyes. He sat up and yawned rubbing his eyes to get rid of the heavy sleep on them. As he shuffled to get ready, his mind wandered to the events of last night. Using some cold water to wake himself up fully, he sighed a bit and put on his outfit for the day. He wasn’t bothered with his hair, often it laid where it pleased, no magic or comb could tame it. His blue eyes looked up when something poked at his magic from the left, his eyes turned to see the cards laying on the nightstand. Sighing softly, he got them and put them in the small bag he carries with him. Throwing on a grey traveling cloak, Justin shut the door to the shot behind and put up the closed sign as well as locking the door with magic. Last nights’ events still had him paranoid. Taking a breath, he turned to walk away, when the hair on his neck stood on end. That feeling of being watched. Justin almost groaned, couldn’t he catch a break? He

You ever get that feeling that you’ve done all of this before? Or that, perhaps, everything you’ve done is just a repeat of a dream? That’s pretty much the life Justin has always lived, feelings, sounds, and senses that all seem vaguely familiar. But, never could put to names or words to them. So, he kept them to himself, and regarded these feelings with small curiosity. His master, Asra, always told him to trust his instincts. And often, when these feelings tugged at him, they never once lead him wrong. He’s been apprenticed under Asra for as long as he could remember, and yet, though it seems he know everything of Justin’s past, Justin knows nothing of his. At least, presently, something often niggles at him he knows more than his mind is willing to tell. Asra, is a fortune teller, and together, they live in a small shop near a large city called Vesuvia. Justin felt discontent again, as his teacher was once again leaving. To really spirits knows where. The fluffy white hair catches

The Arcana and The Fool: Prologue
A/N: So my friend showed me this app called The Arcana, and I decided to do one based a small series my OC Justin. So this is a gay one mostly, and in the end I've already made up my mind who he'll end up with because I love this guy alot. Anywho, just some thoughts in my head I need to write down. ONWARD! *Line Break* Prologue: Repaired "You're fractured..." the voice seemed to echo in his head as soft blue eyes gazed at the darkness ahead, the only light at his feet. He nodded to this, yeah, he was broken, parts of him were slipping away and memories becoming dimmer and dimmer in his mind. There was a dull ache in his chest, like he was forgetting something important. "You're dying..." it said again, was that what was happening to him? So this was death? He remembered always wondering what death was like. He always thought it was more than slowly fading from existence. But he didn't have it in him to be scared or upset, he was tired, so very tired. "Do you want to die?" now that
