Magic card to change destiny

A small fire blazed beside a book, it cast a kind of black shadow in some corners behind the book which was not illuminated. Right beside the bookcase full of books was a white study table, books piled on one side of the table and tiny hands tapping on the books slowly.

There is nothing special about this place except the rows of lit candles. But the little girl's hand that was trying to take a card made her eyes widen slightly with curiosity.

"In this world, where the gods fight each other out of selfishness. Humans in the past worshiped those who destroyed each other, the gods gave humans a gift of strength, knowledge and emotion."

A young man wearing a black suit with a small hat said that. From how the tone of his voice was so low it sounded like someone was whispering, making the candle flame blaze when the young man moved his hand for a moment.

The young man then moved the fingers on his hand to shuffle a deck of cards, separating them into two and then putting them back together. Before the young man gave the card, he wanted to say something.

"Science is power, mankind will never be able to survive if they don't understand what science is. Our ancestors, the ancients, all wanted peace and happiness, even though happiness cannot be realized without sacrifice. Understanding each other's feelings from the start was impossible for mankind. "

The young man had faith but he wouldn't say it to two kids who didn't understand anything.

"Each of us has different beliefs, different experiences and different memories. It all can not be united into one unless it is based on individual interests. "

The two children who listened to what the young man said then looked at each other with expressions like someone who didn't understand anything.

Then, the silent little girl now began to ask.

"Brother Rey, what do you mean by these cards? "

Rey then answered in a low voice.

"A card that symbolizes a person's destiny, their luck and a golden opportunity they may have missed. Something like that is this card in my hand. "

"Does such a thing exist?" Julian said that with an incredulous face.

But that's the point. Now the show has actually found the key to unlocking a box full of mystery. And Rey then played it all.

"Now, give me your hand. "

With a confused face, Julian stretched out his hands.

After that, Rey then spread the cards until they looked like half a lotus leaf. There, Julian's eyes were watching.

"Take one like Yulia did. "

Julian then grabbed a card and looked at it.

"Remember the card, then put it back here. "

Julian complied then put it back.

Next, Rey closed the deck of cards and then shuffled them. Rey's little fingers played like someone squeezing an orange, and then a "Click! ' sounded as Rey's hand tapped the pile of cards.

"Remember, Rey's brother didn't see any of the cards you guys were holding. Isn't that right? "

Julian and Yulia nodded with their eyes still focused on the card.

Then, Rey moved her right hand and then showed it to the two of them.

"There is nothing in big brother's palm. You can check it out if you want. "

Julian and Yulia were now more confused, they looked back but didn't know what to say.

Then then Rey's hand squeezed the void. Little by little as his fingers move. And then-

"Is this the card you saw, Julian."

Instantly, Yulia gasped as Rey opened her palms. A card was there appearing out of nothing.

"Oh!! How could that be? "

Yulia's eyes widened and seemed shocked by what had just happened.

However, Julian shook his head.

"That's not the card I saw. "

Yulia looked sarcastically at Julian.

"Are you blind? I believe you are blind. That must be the card you saw right? "

Yulia couldn't believe what Julian said. a magician who is able to bring out cards from nothing, it's impossible to take the wrong card.

But that's the truth.

"Kuh, kuh, kuh!!"

Rey who was wearing a mysterious black hat laughed with a downcast face. It was the most terrifying laugh that Yulia had ever heard.

Then, after the laughter had stopped, Rey spoke again.

"That's right, Yulia. This wasn't the card Julian was looking at. "

Instantly, Rey squeezed the card in hand. Squeeze it until it disappears into the air. Disappeared like smoke without any trace of burning, As if the card itself was actually an illusion.

But then, Rey's right hand came close to Julian's ear. His fingers moved behind Julian's ear and from there Rey's hands suddenly clenched into fists like he was holding something.

"Oops, there's something in your ear, I think this is the real card you're looking at."

Rey opened her hands. A card in hand with the image of an old man with a mustache wearing a crown and symbolizing a heart.

However, the little little girl beside him started to react. Her right leg is placed on the knee and then her hand is holding the chin like an adult woman. The little girl's face lifted slightly then her eyes narrowed and glanced to the side. Then, in a low voice the little girl sneered a little with an almost unbearable chuckle.

"Hoo… Looks like it's not your eyes that's the problem, it's your ears that's the problem, how many cards have you put in your ear, Julian, why don't you tell me, I'll gladly insert it anytime if you want. No wonder you're deaf enough to not understand what Rey's brother is doing, it turns out it's all because your earwax actually contains cards."

Yulia seemed to laugh in satisfaction. Meanwhile the person he was talking to had a stomachache expression like someone who hadn't eaten for a week.

"Tch!!! It's you."

Then, after their eyes met each other with sharp eyes wanting to stab. Rey started showing the next show.

"Yulia, now it's your turn. "

Instantly, Yulia's shoulders rose slightly like an electric shock, she then nervously nodded in agreement.

"I understand brother Rey, show me your magic. "

"Keep the cards in hand and don't let anyone see them. "

Yulia then took the card away from Rey and put it under the pillow.

Then after a while Rey played her game again. He took the hat from the top of his head and held it in both hands.

The pile of cards he put into the black hat, then then his finger touched the side of the hat to rotate it slowly.

60° turn, 90° turn, 180° turn, 360° turn. Suddenly, Rey's hand stopped.

He then spoke in a very mysterious tone.

"An eye for an eye, blood for blood. An equal exchange between life and death. Even so, those with eyes can't really see everything. "

The two children did not understand anything other than words that were difficult to understand.

"Yulia. "

"Yes, Brother Rey. "

"Look carefully, this hat your brother is holding. "

Yulia's eyes are now focused on the black hat on the palm of Rey's brother. There was nothing there but the mysterious black hat.

"A hat that the two of you could wear over your heads turned out to be just a black cloth. "

The hat then spun around following the movement of Rey's hand. It's getting faster but now it looks smaller, smaller and smaller until it becomes a one meter long black cloth.

Julian and Yulia's mouths opened. It was as if they couldn't believe what had just happened.

"A magic called destiny card. This is a form of black magic that was once in a book."

A snap of fingers was then heard, then a small smoke was now visible from under the pillow near Yulia.

"Yulia, with this snap of brother Rey's finger, the card you hid will be burned by the flames of exchange magic. Your destiny has been burned by fire. "

Yulia's eyes then quivered, in desperation the little girl lifted the pillow where the cards she had placed. There was nothing there except the burnt scraps of paper.

"NOOOOOOOOO?! Why do you have the heart to burn my destiny? Give me back my destiny brother!" Yulia shouted with tears soaking her clothes.

The girl did not expect that her fate had been snatched away by the person she loved.

"Relax, Yulia. Brother Rey can bring it back," Julian said while stroking the head of his sister who was crying.

But the boy slightly hid his broad smile for some reason.

At the same time Rey then pulled the black cloth in his hand.

"That's right, Yulia. Brother Rey will reverse your destiny."

Hearing that, Yulia now stopped crying.

"is it true? Brother, please don't play with the destiny of a girl like Yulia," Yulia said that.

With his hands level with his eyes, Rey then turned the long black cloth into a blank white card.

"See Yulia this will be your destiny in the future. "

Yulia watched as Rey swayed the blank card to the right and left faster. Then after the cards stopped, Yulia's eyes widened as she saw the image of a girl in a crow mask wearing a jet black robe carrying cards in hand and sitting on a throne full of a group of people standing beside her.

Rey then handed the card to Yulia.

Yulia's hand is now holding the card with tears still not dry. Yulia then said in a low voice.

"This looks like a dark madam. "

"That's right, brother Rey has changed your destiny into a madam who plays someone's destiny using a deck of cards in hand."

The cold air began to feel, the smog began to appear, Yulia's eyes were still focused on the card and did not move her small body in the slightest. In that moment, Yulia's pupils reflected the burning card in the air without any dust floating, there was no trace of any burning except nothingness itself.

Now his destiny has entered and seeped into his veins.
