The Cartomancer's Last Hand
fantasy◐ Teen5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
Mireille digs through her bag and finds the cracked card the Queen came from. 'Trapped right here,' she says, tapping it. 'So if I burn this, what happens to you?' The Queen lunges across the table, desperate now to stop her.
Mireille holds the card over her little lantern flame. 'Last hand,' she says. 'Leave, or burn.' The Queen freezes, then sinks back into the river without a word. Mireille keeps the card unburnt, a warning, and never deals her own death again.
