(THE NEXT STEP) “SHALL we continue?” The voice of HIS that is tempting. To strong to have the will to reject such desire to commit and went into the path that HE desires for you to take. One such command, yet a choice with the freedom to do so. Both good and evil, strong and weak. Winona listen, looks at the cards in front of her, as she continues wearing the shoes that Emie wore once. As the next step continues. “The lovers.” Looking at the card for a moment as it shows the image of the two persons under the grace of the heavens in a form of a sun, yet a moon is somewhat hiding from behind of it. She felt her heart sink in fear for a few seconds, as she stares at the sun and moon's image where she interprets one thing. “Death.” Keeping herself calm and reasoning for the good rather than the bad. She reminds herself to keep the very card close and the ones it pertains to. For what it tells and the warning that it brings, one of them or both will die.
(ENOUGH?) “THE Tarot Cards.” Winona whispers. While Carlos is slowly becoming uninterested in how things are progressing right now. “The Major and the Minor arcana’s. The suit is divided in two ways where the first comes with the heaviest ordeal and meaning, while the latter is a supporting view of what will happen within the Major arcana’s.” Carlos suddenly said, explaining the initial meaning with his tone of impatience that Winona doesn’t need any deeper thought to see it. “Do you still want to see the rest where Emie will finish saying in a tongue the full deck of cards? Or would you let me say it all in one fair sweep?” Wanted her to choose the second and the most convenient part that Carlos wanted. Winona gasped, and in a low threatening voice, she asks. “Why are you seem to be impatient right now, Carlos? For just a while you are having the best entertainment of your life?” “Impatient? Tsk!” Carlos smirk, when Winona hits the right q
(REINA’S BLOOD) “WHO?” The question that Carlos is been waiting for a while since his amusement is reawakened by the fact that Winona comes across that name from Emie’s past. The name that hardly anyone of them knew. But the being that she should have recognized, but at the same time should not. “Do you want to take a little detour?” The offer that she should reject. The question and temptation that she should run away from. For it is getting a little dragging, as she needed to get away from this stage and meet the being that she should be meeting right now. Yet. “Well. It will only take a while as you do not need to worry about the time. Remember, I have the key with me.” Assuring her and at the same time in reality manipulating her to abide by the little selfish wants that Carlos is more than eager for her to know. Winona looks back at the tarot cards, the Major arcana, as she then answered and decided.
(LEO) “WELL THEN,” Carlos whispers with his amusement towards Winona, for desiring the thing that awakens his interest but promising to be the last time. “Guardian God and one of the four main elements and next to time. The flame wing Lion, God Leo, or should I address as Reina.” With the menacing tone of his voice, Winona knew that Carlos is enjoying this little detour that they are having. All too much by which she is now regretting asking him for her other desire. But everything happens for a reason, and she couldn’t back down now, nor she ever has one in the first place. “The prince, the other half of the princess. The reflection and the shard soul of ‘his’, is born without any ability, as he only has the crown and destiny towards the person, we all care and known as the Maiden.” Carlos continues explaining. Engross by the moment, as Winona just let him be. “Now, shall we watch when that moment started and spins from the past?” The first
(THE SECOND MASK) “INTERESTING.” The word that Winona replied to Carlos’s question which in truth doesn’t fit to what Carlos wanted, nor she intends it to be. “Well, that is how you would often reply. Right?” Caught Carlos in a little teasing game that Carlos immediately realizes and chuckles off. He then draws a sinister smile on his face, not the twisted one, nor a broken one, but his usual smile that Winona is all use on seeing from him. “Mimicking me in return. Interesting.” He once more said. Lighten the mood, but only in the opposite way. A dark one, a deep dread that they are both is enjoying right now. With Winona that now remembers almost everything from the past. “Now shall we look into the second mask that you are proud off?” A little of teasing Carlos with the fact that he is rooting for his leader and the first born of the commandment. He giggles for a few seconds, then gladly turning the key that is inserted into the
(HOW IT GOES) “DEATH Reincarnate.” Winona whispers the name of the book and the world that is both unfamiliar and familiar to her in an uncanny way and a contradicting sense. “This book, my life, and everyone that involves within it. Just how dreadful it all could be?” She asks but somewhat anticipating the darkness that it brings rather than the good and light that one can hope for. “This is the world and the book that those seven originals are imprisoned. Am I right, Carlos?” Winona then deduces, asking Carlos for confirmation with the tone of her voice that’s wanting only a positive response. “The seven originals?” Carlos teases, and a bit dragging the fact that Winona knew all too well by now that it was the truth. “Right,” Winona replies and quickly confirms his words. “The seven deadly sins.” Drawing a sinister smile to confirm her words. Carlos then giggles, amused by the fact that Winona is getting
(THE FINAL MASK) “REINA’S THIRD MASK.” The name and the word that Carlos is waiting for as a confirmation that will tell him that Winona recognizes and immediately the current character that he wanted Winona to know, and at the same time is what they wanted Winona to realize, remember and fast. “DEATH, REINCARNATION AND CURSES.” Carlos mimics the words that Reina whispers and has been typing. Words that pertain to the world that they are running into. And the fact that could never be altered, anymore. “Isn’t it a bit exciting?” Carlos asks with a teasing tone and giggles. All proud and glad to introduce to Winona the final mask of the turn soulless half of the half shard of the original ‘him’. “To see and know that the guardian of Flame, God Leo turns into one of the commandments?” He added with a bit of an exaggerated tone. “All after she gave her soul to the rightful owner, Prince Lelouch.” The name is a sensitive topic for Winona. The
(THE COMMANDMENT’S DESIRE) “NOW, what should I need to know next?” Agreeing to what Carlos wanted. Winona didn’t protest, nor show any disagreement towards him. Knowing that she couldn’t do anything, especially since the key of time is entrusted to Carlos. “Very well said.” Amused, Carlos draws a sinister smile on his face. “We are done answering who you are. You now remember that you meet the reaper from the other world and book, Arius. Your eyes are now open that you must trust Alliah, yet you cannot blame her for what she becomes and chooses. But then it is still a big fault and design of her life from the very beginning.” He reviewed the facts with the answered questions that Carlos deliberately did to remind Winona which and where should she stand right now. “JK is not someone that you should fully trust.” He continues, “You already meet Reina and the three masks that she is wearing and wearing so far. Now, the only left question is your past
