The Cartomancer's Last Hand
fantasy◐ Teen5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
The Queen tries to bluff. 'No one painted me. I am death itself.' Mireille calmly deals the card that means a lie. It glows. 'See? My cards never lie, and they say you do.' The Queen's confidence cracks like old paint.
Cornered by her own lie, the Queen begs Mireille to name the painter who trapped her. Mireille reads the cards one last time, says the name aloud, and the spell breaks. The painted woman crumbles to harmless paper, and the river goes quiet till dawn.
