Death is…Nimueh! Yep, real appropriate I think. In giving life to Arthur, she indirectly caused the Great Purge and the death of so many of her kind. The card Death is more about change than actual doom though, but that's still relevant I think. Ygraine's death was the turning point for Camelot, the beginning of a new era, if you will. So Death could only be Nimueh.
Yes, card number thirteen is Death. Wikipedia has a rather interesting article about the number thirteen if you want to know more about why it is considered so unlucky. Creepy coincidence from my own life: My Mum went shopping on Friday the 13th and it cost her...£6.66! Dun, dun, dun! Creepy.
Super, awesome, magical thanks to the electric phantom!
Enjoy!
XIII – Death – Nimueh
Key Phrases – A parting of the ways, transformation, the end of an old cycle and the beginning of a new one.
Nimueh knew a lot about death. She had seen it. Caused it. In giving life to Uther's son, she caused the death of so many of her kind.
She had grieved, wept with regret for ever gifting Uther Pendragon a favour. In all the world, all she had left was the burning hatred and a desire for revenge. The King would pay for this, Nimueh swore it. His son, his kingdom, his world…The sorceress would destroy them, as well as any who stood in her way.
Nimueh held the power to Mirror Life and Death in her hands, and Uther would rue the day he ever gave her cause to use it.
Oh, that last line! I love it! I'm so proud of it.
I wonder what Nimueh was like before the Purge. Was she always evil, or did the death of her kind drive her over the edge? What do y'all think?
Thanks for reading! Next time is Temperance! One of my personal favourites! What clue can I give you? Hmm, I can tell you that…he's one of the Knights. (He's actually my favourite Knight. But don't tell the others that.)
