ALYS
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
Ah, yes: questions about one's purpose were all too common in Alys's line of work, and although her cards rarely offered the concrete answers her clients sought, they did often provide guidance in how one might find the answers on their own. She nodded in response to the stranger's request - perhaps quieter than she might expect a fortune teller to be, given their propensity for asking questions to reveal little details they could use in their readings. But Alys had need for none of that.
She shuffled the cards, first riffling them, and then overhanding until it felt right. Then she cut the deck, set it down, and drew the first of three cards. "Justice," she said, showing the stranger the card, which depicted a woman holding a sword in one hand and a set of scales in the other. "A sign to seek balance and truth. You are being called to account for your actions and make the fairest decision. If your future is in question - if you are hunting for your purpose - then this card suggests that you search for the answers with logic and reason rather than emotion."

And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words
