*A request sounds in the Lyssan's head*
Captain, I have recently acquired a strange deck of magical cards which I am seeking to absorb within myself. However, they are resisting my efforts to even reactivate their magic, the first step to absorbtion. At your earliest convenience, can you please assist me in reactivating them.
*An image of Kerobian studying a large, ruddish card appears in their minds*

kero finds himself in a shrine.... it is opened on all four sides to the ebb and flow of nature, ther is a stone altar in the middle of the shrine with an offering trough before it and a small gong on a lacquered stand. Incense is burning in a bowl on the altar. Outside the shrine it is spring, cherry trees line the small stone path which leads down to an immense wooden gate.

Should have Known a japanese spirit would live in a shinto shrine. *Lays the cards down on the ground around him in a circle, studying them* Strange things, these. The human who used them was not inherently magical, yet was srudied in the usage of magic. These things obeyed her, and she almost defeated me with them. As it is, I was forced to transform into her, grab the deck, and flee with my life.

Think you can give me a hand reactivating these cards? I can't seem to do it, which is odd in and of itself. I generally have a pretty good grasp of most forms of magic. Do you know what these things are, anyways?

Lyssan lyssan sinks down on her heals at his side and looks over the cards, without touching any of them.... (ok you've described one... how many are there and what doe theothers look like) There appear to be 52 of them, all of similar design. I would guess they were Tarot cards, but they're obviously not. Magic thrums through them, but it's almost like it's locked inside, and I don't have the key. can't tell you any more about them or their mistress. All I remember is fighting her, and coming close to winning, before being attacked from behind by two beings, obviously sunborn and moonborne. It was odd, but when I stole this deck, those creatures seemed to lose a lot of their strength. That help to identify what these are, your majesty?

I'd say they were a living tarot... infused with the lives of past owners... save i don't recognize the style...
lyssan reaches out to touch one rather ominous card with her finger tip and jerks back with a start... not all of these are good cubling... not good at all...

No...they're not living Tarot. I've dealt with things like that before. Besides,I've never heard of a deck of Tarot cards with names like: The Shadow, The Firey, The Dash, The Freeze. What are these things? And why can't I touch their magic.

I have no idea what it means. I don't even know what the girl's name was who wielded them. Nor, for that matter, who her two guardians were.

Lyssan guardians had she... and she be but a child... ? and when she fought ye... what skills did she use? She wielded a strange wand, and these cards seemed to be the source of her strength. I distinctly remeber the wand becoming a sword, and wings sprouting from it's sides. It almost looked like a bird's head. She seemed to think that I was something that needed capturing for some reason. Why?
