Even though time and space don’t matter in this world, the Fool ran into the Page of Wands somewhere and sometime. It was Hermes, and Hermes was older than he is, as old as the Sun, but maybe the Fool didn’t meet the Sun yet. In any event, they met when the messenger was sitting […]

While the Fool was lifted through the clouds of scarabs, he found himself in a forest. It was a thick evergreen forest. He decided to walk over the soft grassy forest floor and explore.
