Their Personality

Hello, Pile 01, and welcome to your reading! Your next friend is someone who has a keen eye for warning signs. I feel like this person has experienced their fair share of trauma and heartbreak, which makes them a great detector of red flags. Your friend is someone who might very well still be in a grieving process when you guys meet. They might have recently experienced a loss, and generally, I do feel like your friend might be leaning toward the realistic/pessimistic side. Some of their behavior might be strange to you too, given that they were coming out of a difficult situation. The world card is all about completion, success, clarity, celebration, and travel. Your new friend is an accomplished person—someone who has achieved their fair share of success. I do think that your new friend is aware of things and can discern situations accurately. In this specific deck, this card is associated with fans. This is a cheerleader—someone who loves seeing other people win. This new friend of yours will live through your highs and lows with you, and they will continuously cheer you on and support you. They might also be the type to motivate you to celebrate small wins. They might send you gifts and flowers for your achievements, no matter how little they are. A genuine supporter. They are also well-traveled, or they might be from another part of the world. Either way, they are cultured and can adapt to new circumstances and surroundings. We are looking at someone who is curious and shows genuine interest in others. Your new friend is also creative; they might be involved in the arts in one way or another. I do think that this is a fun friend—someone with whom you can go on spontaneous adventures and someone who inspires you to be more confident and to follow your intuition. With this friend, the sky is the limit, honestly. They will be on board with the wildest ideas and support you through them. This is someone who is free-spirited. They have broken free from society's expectations. It's the type of friend that, if you like it, they will love it! We are looking at a confident person here, or at least at someone who appears to be this way. Again, your new friend has experienced their fair share of trauma and heartbreak, and I do think that based on their past, they do tend to struggle with a pessimistic outlook at times, especially in areas regarding security and safety, aka. money. They might have a lack-mindset, but again, it feels mostly related to jobs and food security (there is an apple on the woman's head in this particular deck). I also feel like this is someone who struggles to commit. Again, this does not relate to your friendship but more to areas where your friend struggles with a lack-mindset. Anything that promises security is something they struggle to trust, so they might be the type to do job-hopping, etc. Your friend could have a beautiful and soothing voice. They might even be a great singer. What's certain, though, is that we are looking at a truly wise person here, someone whose words can soothe one's soul. Your friend is a great guide, especially because of their own life experience. They have learned a lot of lessons and accumulated tons of valuable and life-changing wisdom. Again, their words have the power to touch one's soul. They are determined. Even if they are capricious, especially when it comes to their work, they are clear on what they want. They have direction, and they are true go-getters. Their approach is just unconventional. Your new friend is someone with a purpose, and they are doing their best to follow it and be worthy of it. So in essence, this is a person who takes their roles seriously. They try their utmost to be deserving of their titles (be it a friend, a position at work, etc.).

How will you meet?

You guys will meet at work, that is for certain. I feel like the person who is new to the job will be you, given the sequence of the cards. The mule card shows us that there is a situation that seems hopeless; this most likely relates to a person who is stubborn and unwilling to change. This will lead to a period of bad health and even a depressive period for you. You might be struggling at your previous job. These circumstances will lead to you looking for new positions and eventually severing ties with your previous employer. This all seems unplanned; this change was not something you expected or even planned for, but something that was inspired by your experience with this stubborn person. And wherever your career journey leads you, that is where you will meet your new friend.

PILE 02 ➕

CONFIRMATION

Signs and confirmation that this is your pile. This can be anything from your initials, astrological placements, significant messages or signs, places, songs, etc. Please use your discernment.

A, D, I, E, U, A, 1st house, Gemini, Pluto

Song: Hate Myself - Tate McRae

YOUR NEXT FRIENDSHIP

Tarot: the moon, 7 of pentacles, queen of wands, (wheel of fortune)

Oracle: judge rx, tiger, mature man, forest, pig, eye, camel, arms

Their Personality

Hello, Pile 02, and welcome to your reading! Your next new friend is someone who holds a lot of depth. They might feel magical and maybe even a bit unreal to you. It's a person who religiously follows their intuition and is just really good at picking up subtle signs and changes. Your new friend might struggle with anxiety, though, as they tend to overthink a lot. But yes, this person is hard to read and hard to decipher. Your friend's motivations are often honorable. They tend to do the things they do for the right reasons, usually to uplift others and improve given circumstances. They are a hard worker, someone who is constantly learning, growing, and changing, and has a lot of stamina. They persevere, and their hard work usually pays off well. Everything they achieve, they deserve. They also pay attention to what they do and what they invest their time in. Your new friend is an intentional person; they always know why they are doing something. This by no means indicates a calculated person, but rather someone who is present and mindful. Your new friend is confident and courageous. They are truly independent and get along well with the people around them. Again, we are looking at a driven person, someone who does not shy away from hard work. They are determined to achieve what they set their minds to. With the wheel of fortune as their bottom deck, they might feel like someone who is quite lucky at times. Yes, they work for what they achieve, but their achievements might come with extra benefits, etc. They might be coming from a privileged background. This is genuinely a kind and good person, and they are always teachable. This is not the type of person to get their ego in their way when it comes to criticism, etc. They remain teachable because they know they are not always right, which just brings them a lot of good karma. I do think, though, that they can be harsh with their words. This is a pragmatic person—a person with reason. They never do anything without intention, so their criticism might sometimes appear destructive to others as they apply their values and their idea of the world to their judgment. They are not the most sensitive and delicate with their words. Again, this is a fiery and driven person. They appear to be unstoppable. Their passion is their driving force and their power, and they are bold and brave. Things always seem to work out for them, honestly, because their force is so powerful that everything just seems to align for them. They put their money where their mouth is. How will you meet?

You might meet your new friend through a mutual connection—most likely a mature man. This could indicate someone who is in their 50s or upwards, someone who is just simply older than you, or someone who is more mature or has more experience. I feel like this person will connect you two during a time when you are confused. When you might not see clearly and when your values are all over the place. I do feel like you will follow your intuition here. You might reach out to this mutual connection in hopes of help or guidance, and they will connect you to your new friend. Again, you are reaching out for help to overcome a problem in your life. It might not be the easiest journey to one another, but in the end, you guys will embrace each other, and I do feel like your new friend will be more than willing to help you; they will be welcoming.

PILE 03 ➕

CONFIRMATION

Signs and confirmation that this is your pile. This can be anything from your initials, astrological placements, significant messages or signs, places, songs, etc. Please use your discernment.

B, I, N, G, O, H, I, Libra, 8th House, Saturn

Song: Me & U - AleksSounds

YOUR NEXT FRIENDSHIP

Tarot: the high priestess, 5 of cups, the magician, (9 of wands)

Oracle: angel rx, swan, house, fair woman, broom, may, mountain road, back

Their Personality

Hello, Pile 03, and welcome to your reading! Your new friend is a wise and intuitive person. Someone who is in alignment with their subconscious mind and who can read others easily. This person might seem magical to you, but in a way, they might be hard to read, and they might seem unpredictable. Sometimes their actions might be without rhyme or reason, but there is always consistency behind them, which is them following their intuition. Your friend might have experienced some losses in their life, and there might still be situations that are eating away at their conscience because they are regretful. The past might still be hunting them, and I do think that they struggle with letting go, especially when they know that they failed a situation or someone. Your new friend is truly resourceful, and they know how to wield what they have to achieve their goals. They are great at manifesting and achieving their desires. This, to me, feels like someone who is lowkey a perfectionist. They struggle with failure and they struggle with loss, and when experiencing it, they might be pessimistic about it. Your new friend is a powerful person; they are unique and authentic, and again, they follow their intuition. The only action your new friend takes is inspired action. They are resilient, for sure, and extremely courageous. They fight for what they want and protect their loved ones fiercely. This is not the type of person to give up easily; they are persistent and also great at setting, keeping, and respecting boundaries. I do not think that they are easily approachable in the sense that they are guarded. They are protective of themselves and the people in their lives, but once you are in, you are in for good. I feel like your friend's first impression can be misleading. They might appear innocent and angelic at first, but they are quite the opposite. Again, this is a strong person, but it might not be evident in their appearance. First impressions are misleading here, and they usually tend to use this to their advantage as they are aware of others's perceptions of them. Your friend is quite graceful. They hold so much wisdom, and it feels like the way they go through life is just effortless. They are a great teacher, especially when it comes to elegance and grace. They inspire with dignity, and I do think that they have a great eye for beauty and aesthetics. This seems like a truly classy person. How will you meet?

You guys will meet at someone's home. This is either the housewarming of someone you both know, or you might be moving to a new neighborhood or a new home, and they might be living in the same apartment complex or on the same street. Either way, a fair woman is involved; this specifically describes their hair color, which ranges from blonde to gray and white. Whatever it is, it will most likely happen in May or start in May. Your move or your way there might not be easy, and there might have been a few hiccups along the way, but eventually, you are getting there, starting a new life and a new path. I do think that this person is meant to support you through your new chapter in life. You might even share a home, perhaps? For some of you, this could indicate a roommate, etc. For others, it's a neighbor, and for a small group of you, it's the housewarming of a close friend. But what all of you in this group share is the fact that you will meet this person during a new chapter in your life. And May does play a role in one way or another. It could be either timing, someone's birthday, or hold another meaning. Take what resonates, and leave the rest.

💙The Fourth House in Astrology💙

The source if this information is The Astrology Podcast (Chris Brennan) on Youtube and from the book The Twelve Houses: Exploring the Houses of the Horoscope by Howard Sasportas and I will add a personal example as well

4th house: home, family, soul, origin, roots, ancestry, lineage, genes, inner self, heritage, inherited trauma and/or wisdom/values, comfort, the mother, the womb, parents, nurture, private life, conditioning, foundation, support or lack of support, shelter, childhood, early environment, the past, emotion, angular

Relationship with parental figures or those responsible for the individual early on, values instilled in the home, lessons passed down from parental figures to the child, themes most present during childhood, leniency or sterness in matters related to discipline, traits of the child, interets/favorite topics early on or that bring a feeling of home and comfort in the present, how one would be/act as a parent (replicating parenting style or breaking the cycle if needed)

Personal example: Aquarius in the 4th house and Uranus in Pisces 4th house

I believe I already mentioned how I didn't know I had siblings until I was 13 in my last post? 😅 I would say that is very Uranus energy and there were a lot of instances like this where shocking things would be revealed to me in the most casual ways with underwhelming energy

Very turbulent environment you really would not know what to expect and my Aries moon kind of added a danger element to it

Uranus is square my sun and this manifested for me in... the approach taken in raising me totally contradicting everything I stand for including the values that were instilled in me since they were not very ideal to be fair

Uranus is also trine both my Venus and Mars and I definitely see this as my past, as "annoying" as it was, kind of pushed me to take action to establish my own independance as well as prioritize my own comfort and appreciate myself as well so it does not justify in any way what happened but for me PERSONALLY it did play a huge role in shaping who I am as a person and my resilience as well which is a very Scorpionic thing and especially not being afraid of facing it all head on (for reference I have Venus and Mars in Scorpio in the 12th house)

My Uranus is also opposite my MC and sextile my north node however I will not analyze those right now

As for favorite topics I love kpop and astrology and these two interests definitely make me seem like an eccentric person to others (Aquarius) since I have been raised and do still currently live in a religious country

I think I would have a very progressive approach to parenting and handling matters of the home and again for me this is relative to my childhood environment so instead of me for example taking on a certain role since I am a woman I would handle things based on my strengths and weaknesses as well as my future partner's strong and weak points as well

I hope this was not too heavy 😅 I usually do personal examples for these so I wanted to stay consistent but I tried to not go into detail but yeah you get the idea

Comment down below your 4th house sign, planets and aspects

Thank you for reading <3

New Perspective on Your Past or Current Lover

✨Donate to my CashApp💫

Hey, babes! Thanks for supporting me by interacting with this post. If you feel so inclined please donate to my CashApp so I can do this full-time. <3 Take what resonates and leave the rest behind but always be open to new experiences.

Today the decks used are Ethereal Visions Illuminations Tarot, The Pure Magic Oracle, and The Crystallary Oracle. I meant for this to be a chill and fun reading but it ended up being shadow work. Also heads up, some of the readings have some NSFW mentioned as well as abuse/trauma mentioned. Only interact with this post if you are 18+. Thanks!

_______

PILE ONE

Astrology: Libra, Taurus, Scorpio

Song: I Miss the Misery by Halestorm

Vibes: Deep purple, emerald green, rich ruby red, jewel tones, crystal necklace, BDSM, flower bouquets, cats, predator animals, 555, green tea, camping, Sundays, ice cream, aphrodite

Cards: 5 of wands, 5 of cups, Vervian Everlasting, Hallowed Heart, Sugilite, Emerald

Welcome pile one. The way I read cards makes it so people energy's might intertwined. So, I could be talking about you while wording it as if it's about your partner or vice versa.

So, let's get started. First, the current view you have of your partner is really grounded and put together. They put on this persona to make you feel safe and secure when you are with them. They don't feel like a romantic partner though, not yet anyway. They are probably a friend with benefits or someone you exclusively see for sexual reasons. I think when y'all started exploring together they took charge of leading the experience. They are definitely a dom/top. They taught you a lot about what you enjoy in sex. They showed you kinks you had no idea existed until you heard it from them. They give off leader energy big time. When they look at you sometimes their gaze makes you feel like prey. You might have feelings for them but they are blocked by a perceived lack of interest from your sexual partner. From your perspective, you don't think that is something they want.

The new perspective the cards want you to see about this person is a much softer view than you currently have. This person is a hopeless romantic and they have been slowly falling for you since y'all started seeing each other. They might not even realize it themselves yet. I think you should shift your view to include that there is a gentleness to them that seeps out from time to time. Sometimes they bring you flowers unexpectedly before your sessions. You can always tell they showered right before coming over. You first thought this was just something courteous they did but they are so down bad for you. The main indicator for all this is the after-care they give you. They draw a bath for you and make you a delicious meal after every session. Again this is something you viewed as very courteous but genuinely they just really wanna make you feel romanced. They REEEEEALY want to impress you. You make them so nervous. I see them lying in bed at home thinking about you dreamily. They are usually daydreaming about having a domestic life with you. Picnics in the park. Anniversary dates. Maybe having a family together. They really want a future with you but they have convinced themselves it isn't possible. I see they probably had some bad relationships in the past where they were only viewed as useful when they were having sex. Now they are convinced that is all they are good for. :( If you feel so inclined I recommend slowly and gently working your way up to dates with them that aren't sexual in nature. Call them just to talk, not just for phone sex. I think if you feed them hints like this it will ease them into the idea that they are more than a sex toy and open up a new relationship opportunity for you. Good Luck!

________

PILE TWO

Astrology: Sagittarius, Aries, Gemini

Song: i like the way you kiss me by Artemas/ Two Poltergeists by Dalton Deschain

Vibes: Red, orange, gold, silver, prayer beads, roses, peonies, globe, quartz, garden, lemons, 1010, crown chakra, Hermes, dandelion, sage, red meat, Horus, hawk

Cards: The Hierophant, 7 of Pentacles, Astral Travels, Ancient Amulets, Ruby, Carnelian

Welcome in, pile 2! Your current perception of your partner is interesting. This is a past partner, not a current one. They did some kind of love magic on you. I am feeling very foggy-headed right now while reading so I assume you have gotten that feeling a lot when you are around this person or when you think about them. Which makes me think your view of them is distorted by the magic. Let me clear your vision. You were very possessive of them which isn't a normal thing you do with your partners. You both knew each other for a long time. I see y'all started out as friends and they slowly lured you into their web. I see they gave you a necklace or a piece of jewelry during your friendship that changed your feelings about them. After you started wearing that jewelry, you started feeling very strange. I see you might have had wet dreams about them but only after they gifted this object to you. It was a very abrupt shift in emotions. Good news and bad news about this. The good news is that they had/have no intention of hurting you. They just wanted to be with you. The bad news is if you weren't under their spell, your life would transform into an entirely different experience. They worked really hard cultivating the perfect personality to put on for you which made the love spell also remove a lot of your authenticity. I'm sure for some of you this doesn't change your view at all but for others' of you I can see getting very angry or even grossed out by learning this new information.

If you wish to know what you would be like if you escaped their spell, the rest of this reading will talk about that. To escape their web you must find a way to get rid of the jewelry given to you. You would be an entirely different person if you do choose to get rid of it. However, you wouldn't be tied down anymore. You would be able to travel a lot more and explore your own identity and spirituality. I see you have tried to do spiritual exploration while owning the jewelry piece but the spell they put on you has been putting a glass ceiling on your growth. I see how many times you have attempted astral travel and meditation. It never goes how you expect. I see you falling asleep during meditation and not having many dreams at all. Be prepared to change drastically as a person if you decide to get rid of the object. I wish you luck, my friend. I hope you can free yourself with ease.

_______

PILE THREE

Astrology: Cancer, Pisces, Virgo

Song: Mixed Messages by Tom Cardy

Vibes: Green, teal, cerulean, insomnia, snakes, cicadas, scarab beetle, rosemary, nightmares, queen Isis, mother Nut, long showers, anxiety, molecular gastronomy, mixologist, mangrove trees

Cards: The Moon, 9 of Swords, Snake Skin, Banyan Blessings, Chrysocolla, Moonstone

Welcome to your reading pile 3. Just a heads up, when I do love readings the energies can get all tied up. So, if you get the feeling I am talking about you but I am wording it as if I am talking about your partner (or vice versa) that is why.

I see that you don't really know how to view your partner. It is a current relationship but they are quite mysterious to you so it might be kind of early on in the relationship. They keep a lot of their emotions to themselves. Especially, the negative emotions. Usually, they brush off your concern for them. They use comedy to deflect and avoid talking about some of the things they struggle with. They are a super attentive partner outside of this though. Like I see they are so sweet to you about your feelings. Also tbh, they are an absolute riot when it comes to jokes.

Now before I tell you about what they have been hiding. I want you to know they keep all of their negative emotions a secret to protect themselves. I do not advise you bring any of this new information to them. In fact, I advise against it. It will make them feel cornered and scared. They might lash out at you out of fear or shut down entirely. Neither of these will be productive to your connection if you want it to stay healthy. They have PTSD and depression. They experience nightmares constantly about their trauma. It's why they shut down sometimes when you start to get frisky with them. It's why they are fine about sexual stuff sometimes but freeze up/tense up at other times. Please be patient with them. They have been through some truly awful stuff in the past. I see how healthy of a relationship they have with you now. They really feel super safe and comforted by you. You feel the same way about them. Be as patient as you possibly can be. Eventually, they will open up to you about it. When they do, you need to be super supportive. Please encourage them to find professional help through therapy. I can kind of see them being resistant to the idea at first. If you offer to help by going with them to therapy for moral support they might feel more open to the idea. Let them heal at their own pace. Allow them to speak for themselves in therapy. I know it can be tempting to speak for them as a way of assisting but for real all it's gonna do is make them feel even more out of control than they already do. They can heal from this. They want to open up to you but they are so scared. I believe in you and them. The universe put you two together for a reason. <3

________

PILE FOUR

Astrology: Leo, Capricorn, Aquarius

Song: Ghosting by Mother Mother

Vibes: All shades of blue, glowing orange, red, balcony, ancestors, roses, volcano, royalty, swords, apples, grapes, crowns, red carpet, red curtain, purity ring, poetry, blood

Cards: 2 of Wands, 3 of Swords, Lapis Lazuli, Larimar, Secret Seances, Florida Water

Hi, pile 4! My love readings like to tangle up different peoples' energy together so if it sounds like I'm talking about you but using words as if I am talking about your partner(or vice versa) that is why! Just swap them in ur mind real quick lol.

You actually really struggle to see your partner with clarity. I wanna make it clear that isn't your fault. When I first looked at the cards I could tell either you or your partner (or both) have been in some REEEAL bad relationships. Like, real fucking bad. You were not treated well. Your ex was two-faced. They acted one way in public but as soon as you two were behind closed doors this person turned into a demon. Not the hot and sexy kind of demon. They were a physically/verbally abusive kind of demon. Your ex wouldn't even let you have opinions much less let you speak your mind or listen to you. They are legit the scum of the earth. The partner you are with is nothing like them. They are the exact opposite of that actually. They do feel like they have a temper though. Which I see does scare you sometimes. Even if it isn't ever aimed at you. They love hearing you talk. They love it when you get passionate about the things you like! They understand you and love you so so so so so so so so much!!!!! The ghosts of the past ex have passed on.

I recognize that it isn't going to be easy to reposition your perspective because of your previous experiences in love. But, I promise the partner you are with is safe to be around. They will never be like your ex. Cleanse your vision of love. Heal your broken heart. Maybe express to your current partner that sometimes you feel scared when you don't need to be because of the trauma. I see them listening intently while you speak. I see them consoling you. They truly, deeply love you, my dear. I guarantee it. Communicating how you feel and listening to your partner is what makes the strongest relationships. It is safe to be yourself now.

Neptune Conjunct All 12 Signs Interpreted: What this says about your dream-like persona

This is a reading in congruence with my previous Neptune posts to inspire an awakening of your inner-most Ethereal being. We are are whimsical, dreamy, main characters just waiting to be discovered by our conscious selves so that we can attract our divine gifts <3

Neptune is often associated with spirituality, intuition, imagination, and the subconscious mind.

If you love this post but don't understand how to read a natal chart, drop a comment or send a message, I am here to help! Thank you everyone, once again for all the support! All the rebloggs, likes, messages have really lifted me up and was the exact inertia I needed to hop on this bullet train! You can expect many more, detailed posts to come - donation based interpretations, tips activated <3

When Neptune is in conjunction with each zodiac sign in a natal chart, it creates a unique blend of ethereal and dream-like qualities that are expressed through the characteristics of each sign. This configuration suggests that your spirituality, intuition, and imaginative tendencies are strongly influenced by the energies of Neptune and the specific attributes of each sign. Here's how Neptune in conjunction with each zodiac sign might manifest:

Disclaimer: The Specific House will play a key role in which area of life these energies show up so if this resonates, comment/message & I gotchu <3

Neptune Conjunction Aries: Your ethereal qualities are intertwined with your assertiveness and individuality. You may have an intuitive understanding of how to navigate new beginnings and challenges, often relying on your inner guidance.

Neptune Conjunction Taurus: Your dream-like tendencies merge with your sensual and practical nature. You may find spiritual fulfillment through your connection to nature and the material world, seeking comfort in the tangible and serene.

Neptune Conjunction Gemini: Your ethereal side blends with your curiosity and communication skills. You possess an imaginative mind that can easily explore a variety of subjects and ideas, sometimes even accessing otherworldly insights.

Neptune Conjunction Leo: Your ethereal tendencies merge with your creativity and self-expression. You possess a theatrical and imaginative spirit that can captivate others, often shining in artistic and dramatic pursuits.

Neptune Conjunction Aquarius: Your ethereal tendencies are intertwined with your innovative and humanitarian nature. You possess a forward-thinking and open-minded spirit that seeks spiritual insights through collective efforts.

Neptune Conjunction Pisces: Your dream-like nature is at its strongest here, as Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces. This alignment enhances your already deep connection to the spiritual and mystical realms. Your intuition is highly developed, and you may even have prophetic dreams and profound insights into the nature of reality.

This Zodiac Sign is determined, visionary and make great decisions which only allow for more progress in life - not just practically but emotionally too. Capricorn is reliable and steady, a great friend to go to when you need an honest opinion. Whilst this placement may tend to come across as biased sometimes or judgemental it's because they tend to hold high standards for themselves and the people around them. However, this doesn't mean they do this to bring others down, they do this to help aid others and give them some kind of direction in life. A Capricorn already intuitively knows who they are and their goals, often thriving in competitive subjects and can become highly skilled in multiple different topics (although this doesn't mean they are organised at all). They may like to keep their environment clean as well as their mindset, easily being able to say goodbye to toxic situations.

In fact, someone with a Capricorn placement may come across as lazy when this isn't the case. As hardworking as this sign can be, they may also procrastinate a lot and have trouble starting projects if they are not in the right mindset which can end up becoming some form of baggage. It's important for this placement to come out of their comfort zone (especially when they don't feel like it) and motivate themselves to get things done they don't want to (rather than staying in bed scrolling through social media all day. I see you.).

However, sometimes tasks may become too overwhelming for Capricorn - maybe even their emotions can become too much for them or they become really anxious over something. This can cause someone with this placement to act out of character - maybe acting out in anger or coming off as erratic (although this is only usually once triggered if they have been sitting and seething for a long time). In some cases maybe they look for ways to escape, whether that be through material things, people, ideas or work. If this problem keeps getting bigger, Capricorn may even become somewhat idealistic - relying on fantasies, emotions and possibly digital media to help them get through life which may result in them pushing others away and forming somewhat delusional or fantastical beliefs. It's at this point, Capricorn needs some kind of structure to help them come back to reality. Philosophy may help with this (or further certain unhealthy beliefs).

When Capricorn feels capable, skilled, respected and validated in an aspect of their life they may have a tendency to engage in it an unhealthy amount. This can lead them to avoiding other parts of their life (such as getting engrossed with work and forgetting to maintain friendships) or maybe put a lot of effort into an unhealthy relationship. It's important for someone of this placement to stay grounded, stable and work on projects/relationships which are healthy for them. Much like Cancer, pay attention to the amount of effort you're putting in and the rewards you receive.

Notes/Keywords/Phrases

Zodiac Sign

Each of the Zodiac Signs are a constellation. The Zodiac Sign shows how a Planet/Asteroid/Fixed Point/House is being represented and expressed. Once a Planet/Asteroid/Fixed Point/House falls into a Zodiac Sign, it adopts the energy of it.

For example: if Mercury falls into the constellation Sagittarius, Mercury adopts Sagittarian traits. If the 6th House falls into the constellation Aquarius, the 6th House adopts Aquarian traits.

Associated House

The Houses in Astrology are dependent on the time and location of birth in a Natal Chart and there are 12 different ones. Each of these 12 Houses are then assigned to a Zodiac Sign and 1 or 2 Planetary Rulers. The Houses in Astrology show you what area of life the energy of the Zodiac and Planets/Asteroids/Fixed Points is appointed to and helps provide depth into the chart.

For example: Capricorn's Associated House is the 10th House.

Associated Degrees

When a Planet/Asteroid/Fixed Point/House falls into a Zodiac Sign constellation, it will be appointed a Degree. This Degree shows how far along the Planet/Asteroid/Fixed Point/House is in a Zodiac Sign. Each Degree is also associated with a Zodiac Sign, meaning when this Degree comes up it can nuance the way the Zodiac Sign of a Planet/Asteroid/Fixed Point/House is being represented.

For example: Mars is 6° in the Zodiac Cancer, 6° represents Virgo - therefore the Cancer Mars also takes on Virgo traits. The 2nd House is 23° in the Zodiac Scorpio, 23° represents Aquarius - therefore the 2nd House in Scorpio takes on Aquarian traits.

Planetary Ruler(s)

This phrase refers to the Planet(s) that rule a Zodiac Sign. When a Planet falls into the Zodiac Sign it has rulership over, the energy of both the Planet and the Zodiac Sign is amplified.

For example: Pisces' Planetary Ruler is Neptune.

Modern / Traditional

These words are associated with two kinds of Astrology: Modern Astrology and Traditional Astrology. Traditional Astrology refers to Astrology that was practiced before the 19th century, whilst Modern Astrology refers to Astrology that is practiced now. Some people choose to practice Traditional Astrology, some people choose to practice Modern Astrology, whilst some others might practice both types or combine them together.

Element

Each Zodiac Sign/Planet/House/Degree is associated with an Element and this covers certain traits which are unique to the Zodiac Sign/Planet/House/Degree they correspond to.

These Elements are: Fire, Air, Water and Earth.

Modality

Much like an Element, each Zodiac Sign/Planet/House/Degree is associated with a Modality. The Modality describes what the focus of a placement is and how the energy is expressed.

There are 3 different Modalities: Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed.

Astro Observations Part 3

Disclaimer: these are my own observations so if it doesn’t apply then let it fly

Stelliums: when you have 3+ planets in more than one sign and house. If you’re into pass lives, you can say a stellium is the energy you lacked the most so you’re here to embrace it this time around. I have a stellium myself and I’ve learned when you start putting your stellium energy into yourself, you start embracing that energy naturally. We’re born exhibiting the energy of the opposing stellium house

1h(Aries)- you are meant to put your energy into yourself because in your pass life, you put others before yourself. (Libra)this doesn’t mean you have to be selfish but dont be afraid to put yourself first

2h(Taurus) -you are meant to put your self worth first, this can indicate creating wealth for yourself as well, in a pass life, you could’ve been poor or you lacked confidence especially with your sexuality(Scorpio)

3h(Gemini) means you are meant to learn how to communicate your thoughts, in a pass life, you probably had a lot of knowledge on a lot subjects but didn’t tell anyone what you learned(Sagittarius)

4h (cancer)mean you are meant to be the nurturer and caregiver this lifetime, build deep familial bonds and create a home. This doesn’t mean you have to have children if you choose not, you can do this with friends. In a pass life, you probably put your energy into your career and public image(Capricorn)

5h(Leo)- meant to be creative and bring out your inner child, learn how to have fun, get comfortable with getting attention from people. In a pass life, you were probably not comfortable getting attention or you lacked it even though you knew a lot of people(Aquarius)

6h (Virgo)- you’re meant to be a healer and teacher this lifetime, reason being is that 6h is mercury ruled house. Mercury rules over teaching and Virgo rules over health. In a pass life, you were probably just a healer but now you’re here to teach people, your story is someone else guide book

7h(libra)- learn how to work as a team instead of doing it on your own, you’re meant to collab and create close relationships with people. In a pass life, you were ultra independent and didn’t pay attention to those around you(Aries)

8h (Scorpio)- embrace your inner power, your sexuality, 8h stellium gives me Phoenix energy. In a pass life, you probably had no self worth of yourself(Taurus)

9h (Sagittarius)- broaden your horizons on things you’re interested, research and study cultures and religions that’s different than your own. In a pass life, you didn’t broaden your viewpoints on things and may have been sharing misinformation(Gemini)

10h(Capricorn)-putting your focus into your career, similar to 5h, being comfortable with getting well known, being a leader of your career choice. In a pass life, you probably had to put your family first and didn’t get the chance to live out your career dreams (cancer)

11h(Aquarius) - connecting with people, your social circles are your focus, may meet people through online. In a pass life, you probably lacked friend groups or meeting people during your formative years, honestly you could’ve been well low. but didn’t have good support group by your side(Leo)

12h(Pisces)- this one’s tricky, but I would say you’re meant to be a healer here as well but I feel like you’re here take a deep dive into the unknown when it comes to the spiritual world , I would say you’re a creative as well, use your creativity as a healing method for you. In a pass life, I’m getting monk energy, you were probably a mentor but now it’s time to just be with yourself, not saying you can’t have friends here lol(Virgo)

I ran out of my gif limit😭 but you guys get the idea😂

Thank you for reading!

Hey! AriJay Here!

First off, I'd like to take this time to thank all my followers and mutuals for the continued support on not only the WH:ONOTW fan project but also for dealing with my on and off of Tumblr as of late. I'm gonna try to be more active on here as well as my other Social Media accounts.

Speaking of, I have a TikTok account now! If you would like to follow me there for more Neck of the Woods updates and artwork, give me a follow there!

Speaking of Neck of the Woods content, you're probably wondering, "Ari! What is in store for Jenny and the rest of the tenants?"

Well, I have a lot of ideas in the works for the silly puppets. From illustrations to collaborations with other WH fan characters, even explore different WH AUs. Maybe sprinkle in a few dark secrets along the way. 2024 is definitely going to be an awesome year! I can feel it!

If you'd like to support me financially(and only if you can spare some loose change on ya), please consider buying me a Ko-Fi! Even if you follow me on there, it's a huge help as well!

Finally, I leave you all with a sneak peek at some refs of the characters I'm working on!

That's all for now, my love's! Thank you so much again for all the love and support! Remember, I appreciate each and every one of you.

Stay Weird and Wonderful! <3

⊱ Honami found some of your drawings when she was helping you clean your place, it didn't had to be REALLY messy, she just wanted to help you with house work after stressful day

⊱ after seeing how good you can draw, she's really impressed by your skills and that you're so patient for activity like this

"You really drew this?! Wow... you must be really patient then! Whenever I try to draw it always turns out badly..."

⊱ if you don't draw and just like art, she will take you on a bunch of art exhibitions, she often gets informed about new events thanks to her job, so you can be sure she'll suggest something good

"I heard that there will be an art exhibition and it'll be held by the same person who held that great exhibition we couldn't come to last year!"

⊱ if you share your drawing with her and ask her for honest opinion then don't expect her to hold back, sure you might be her lover but she'll still give you friendly criticism

"It's not bad... but I feel like this part ruins the whole drawing... I can't tell what's wrong tho since I don't know much about art... maybe try adding some more colors?"

⊱ if you only like art and don't actually draw, she'll gladly listen to you about it all and definitely will explore a little more about artist you're interested in the most

"Your skills are really impressing! Do you have any idea how to make my groups logo look better?"

⊱ if you don't actually like to draw and just like art, she'll show you some drawings she found for your opinion, after all she'd like to know your likes and dislikes in art so she can find some exhibitions you'd like to visit

"I recently found this drawing and really wanted to know your opinion about it."

⊱ Airi saw some of your drawings when she was hanging out at your place and was looking for some of her lipstick she left at your place

⊱ she honestly was pretty amazed by how well you can draw and will ask you if you can help her design some of the decorations she thought for her groups next performance

"Hey, listen there. I thought about making some hearts since it'll be a love song but I don't want some basic hearts!"

⊱ if you're only interested in art and not on drawing yourself then she still thinks you can help her with decorations just by expressing your opinion (she'd also like to introduce you with Ena)

"Hey, I recently drew a little sketch for our next performance and thought that maybe some friendly criticism would be nice!"

⊱ Shizuku always wanted to know about your interests so she probably discovered your passion for art very quickly

⊱ naturally first thing she did was ask if you had any drawings and if you did, she'd absolutely love to see them. And once you do show her, she won't stop complementing how good artist you are

"These are so pretty! I can see all the passion you put into this! And all the colors are making me so happy just be looking at them! And this part is..."

⊱ if you're not interested in drawing but are interested in art then be ready that she'll find you MANY art exhibitions, which is why some of them aren't really good but it's the thought that count, right?

"I found so many art exhibitions and they're all close! We can even have our date there!"

Under this damn contract

Summary: Ariadna was just your average college student that suddenly found herself in a tight situation: she woke up inside her favorite novel! Well, isn’t that nice~? WRONG! She reincarnated as a support character whose fate is to end up dead, victim of the novel’s villain Kino, who’s thirst for blood and power makes him extremely dangerous! Right now, she’s one year ahead from the tragedy so Ariadna’s only choice is to find a way to survive. Ari must do anything in her power in order to avoid the destiny that was given to her. The question now is: will she make it?

Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, […]

Chapter 8: Playing with fire.

Mun Ari: One piece of advice: Do.not.write.anything.without.prior.planification!! I made these mistakes so YOU don’t make them! I wonder if it is only me though… meh! Anyway! I want to thank you for your patience while waiting for my brain to come up with a good idea on how to proceed with the story. I hope it won’t disappoint ^^.

Anyway, enjoy!

Ari finished making her order to the kind waitress and soon she left to prepare it. Ari sat by her favorite spot at the cafe in Sutzig city, waiting patiently for her guest to arrive.

“Ari!” She heard someone calling her. Ari raised her eyes and soon Naomi made her way through the restaurant until she sat across from Ari’s chair.

“I’m so happy you made it Naomi!” Ari said cheerfully “It’s been a while since we could hang out together!”

“I agree, it’s such a shame…” Naomi sighed.

Ari felt guilty, after all she couldn’t keep in touch as much as she could due to her new “social life”. Yet, she hoped Naomi wouldn’t know about that.

“I would like to offer you an apology regarding this” Naomi interrupted Ari’s thoughts.

“You? Why?” Ari questioned her.

Naomi left a tired sigh.

“The truth is I’ve been very busy within my responsibilities to be able to send you letters” Naomi replied.

“Is that so… then it couldn’t be helped. Please don’t worry about it” Ari tried to comfort her.

“Still, I would like to apologize. Please accept them” Naomi insisted.

“Very well~”.

There was a tiny pause between them.

“You won’t ask about the things that have kept me busy?” Naomi inquired.

“I mean… I suppose that they are confidential topics that I shouldn’t know” Ari replied, confused.

“You’re right but, aren’t you curious?”

“I-I would be lying if I said I wasn’t” Ari admitted “But I think it is not correct for me to ask”.

Naomi smiled.

“You’re so honest and correct~” Noami praised Ari “Yet, it could help me to sort out my thoughts by talking it out with you”.

“Why me?”

“You’re my friend and I trust you”.

Ari felt touched by Naomi’s words and simply smiled.

Naomi left a tired sigh and soon started talking.

“Remember what I told you about the Eagle clan job regarding the barrier? Also regarding the towers that surround our kingdom so that the barrier reaches every place in our empire?”

"Yes, I remember," Ari said.

“However, the situation hasn’t been ideal. Just recently, the fluctuations have been more recurrent and are becoming a serious matter for us”.

(Wait! If the barrier comes from KarlHeinz, then…!) Ari’s eyes opened in realization. (Doesn’t this mean that these fluctuations means that his health is deteriorating!?).

“We have no way to know what exactly is causing this, but I hope it gets fixed soon. In the meantime, we have already asked for reinforcements” Naomi concluded.

(Then no one must be aware of this fact!!) Ari got worried.

Naomi noticed that Ari’s expression on her face. Naomi smiled, as she spoke.

“Don’t worry Ari. I assure you that with some more magicians the barrier will be restored in no time. We are fully prepared to whatever emergency that may arise in the future, so worry not~”

Ari smiled, but deep down she knew better that that wouldn’t be true.

(Now that I think about it, in the novel no one spoke about these incidents) Ari thought (These were subtable signs from KarlHeinz’s health slowly declining and no one seemed to notice or link these fluctuations with him. The barriers will cease to exist when KarlHeinz dies in Autumn… as well as Iberitia and everyone living there… even myself).

But she knew better than she had no way to tell Naomi that as she had no proof and probably thought of her as some lunatic.

“I hope so too Naomi” Ari finally stated.

“Let’s change to a more pleasant subject, shall we~?” Naomi said cheerfully “How have you been? Is there anything you’d like to tell me?”

“Not really. I’m doing well” Ari said as she took a sip of her tea.

“Really~? Is there really anything you’d like to tell me~?” Naomi said while taking her tea as well “Then I must have heard wrong since I heard you were having quite a social life~”

Ari shrugged.

“Oh, that? They’re exaggerating~” she lied “Just a couple of parties or reunions here and there~” Ari then took another sip.

“Really~? Then, how is it that I heard you have been accompanying certain young man to these ‘occasional’ gatherings~?”

Ari almost choked on her tea. She coughed and cleaned her mouth as she tried to recover.

“Y-You knew!?” Ari asked. “I thought you d-didn’t care about listening to rumors”.

“I usually don’t care about them as I believe they are a waste of time” Naomi agreed. “However… when my friend’s name was mentioned I couldn’t ignore them”.

Ari tensed.

“I had really hoped you hadn’t listened to them… at least this time” Ari admitted.

“Rumors fly and it was a matter of time before I knew” Naomi shrugged.

Ari gulped discreetly, she had to come up with an excuse for Naomi to lose interest and let it be.

“The duke Kino from Rottisen, huh?” Naomi said and after a brief pause she spoke again “I don’t like him”.

Ari opened her eyes in awe. Naomi had never openly expressed a dislike towards someone. She could guess so by the way she interacted with them, but everything kept being respectful.

“H-How so? Do you know him by any chance?” Ari asked.

(If Naomi knew something, maybe I can use that to my advantage!).

“That’s my point: I have never heard of him before” Naomi replied “And that makes me doubt him. Ari, due to my position, I know every single member of the nobility. They are part of my responsibilities as I have to interact with them at some point, therefore I have to know about them to maintain diplomatic relationships. Not just nobles here in the Makai, but I also know the most important members of the foreign nobility. Yet, I’ve never heard of the existence of the duke of Rottissen”.

Ari didn’t know what to say. If she dared to say something wrong, Naomi could know about Kino’s secret identity and complicate things more. She had to cover up for Kino.

“Is he your lover by any chance?” Naomi interrupted Ari’s thoughts.

“I-I! W-Well! I-I mean! We are still getting to know each other!” Ari said blushing.

(I wish I could explain to her the type of situation I’m stuck in…) Ari thought ashamed.

(For what I learnt, here in the world of the novel something as ‘boyfriend’ doesn’t exist. Apparently, the closest to it would be ‘lover’, but having that title means a step closer to becoming a fiance!).

Naomi looked at Ari and left her tea cup on the table.

“I don’t like it…” she repeated.

“Y-You don’t have to worry about it Naomi!”

Naomi sighed.

“I would have preferred you to go out with someone I knew. That way I could have given you useful advice in order for you to make a good decision. For example, if you had chosen Sir Tersul… Sure, he looks like a gentleman, but he’s addicted to gambling. Or maybe if you had chosen his highness the fifth prince, I would have warned you about his famous whereabouts with various ladies. Something as fidelity isn’t in his vocabulary…”

Ari giggled, yet Naomi went serious.

“Yet his grace… I know nothing. It makes me feel uneasy”.

Ari felt moved, having such a great friend like Naomi moved her heart deeply. Naomi was never mentioned in the novel, so Ari suspected she wasn’t someone of importance and most likely ended up as Kino’s victim at some point in the novel. Although she greatly appreciated her, she had to keep her as far as she could from all this issue… to keep her safe.

“Don’t worry Naomi… I mean it when I tell you I’m fine” Ari smiled at her.

Naomi sighed once again.

“I trust your intuition, so I’ll respect your decision and won’t push it further. Still, I would like to advise you to be careful with his grace. Since no one seems to know about him, I can only offer you this much advice”.

Ari nodded and so they changed the topic.

Some time later, they finally said their goodbyes and parted in different directions.

As Naomi had just entered her carriage, it started moving. Naomi was deep in thought regarding the conversation she had today with Ariadna.

(Duke Kino from Rottisen, huh? Sounds fishy…) Naomi thought seriously (Besides… Why does that land’s name sound familiar? I’ll have to look into this further…)

Soon she heard a light knock by her window. She opened it and one of her soldiers looked at her with urgency.

“I’m sorry ma’am, but your presence is urgently required back to the Eagle territory” the soldier said “The barrier is going through a new fluctuation right now”.

Naomi opened her eyes, surprised.

“What? But it stabilized just hours ago!” Naomi exclaimed.

“The messenger just came to inform us ma’am” the soldier replied.

“Very well. Then let us hurry back, we’ll use a magic portal to arrive as soon as possible. Hurry everyone!” Naomi ordered and all her soldiers went back to work.

Naomi sighed.

(This can’t be normal. If this continues there’s no way we can keep it a secret much longer. And we haven’t received any reply yet from the imperial palace. Just what is going on?) Naomi thought as her carriage hurried. (I need to take care of this before anything else. I’ll need to put Ari's situation on hold. I hope I’m wrong about it and not to worry Ari unnecessary).

Naomi’s carriage took the magic portal and soon vanished, taking their preoccupations with them.

As Ari was getting ready for the party she was heading out to, she kept thinking about her conversation with Naomi the previous day.

(There’s no doubt that these fluctuations are signs that KarlHeinz’s weakening by the day. At this point, the story will follow its original curse) Ari thought as Mia was styling her hair by her mirror (We are just 2 months away from the Star’s festival and therefore the prediction of the oracle…).

“All done my lady! You look stunning!” Mia exclaimed.

“Thank you Mia,” Ari said as she rose.

She headed to the carriage waiting for her by the entrance of her home. Once inside, it made its way to her already designated encounter point with Kino. When she arrived and both made their way to the party, silence always prevailed. It was clear that they took the ‘business only’ by heart. Ari sighed at the uncomfortable atmosphere between them. She had tried to start a conversation with him several times before, but they had died soon after they had started. It was clear that Kino refused to speak beyond the necessary… not to mention he wouldn’t speak about his plans at all with her.

(He’s unapproachable. He’s also very cautions around me and he doesn’t trust me at all) Ari thought gazing at him from across her seat, while he was looking out the window (If I could only know what he’s looking for at the moment and I managed to get it for him…. then I could have some chance to get him to trust me).

The carriage stopped and both descended.

(I need to find out what: it can be information or maybe an object or maybe getting closer to a specific noble… if I manage to get it for him first! He might think of me as useful!).

They entered as they were announced. Soon Ari felt the guest’s stares and somehow she had gotten used to them at some point. They walked together and slowly they were greeted by various guests.

(I guess I have to start by sticking with him at all times to find it out) Ari thought.

Yet, at some point, as she was greeting some ladies that greeted her, she lost sight of Kino. Ari made her best effort to be by his side, yet he sneaked somehow every time. At some point, Ari ended up by herself by the dance floor.

(I can’t believe it! Is he doing it on purpose!? Why can't I remain by his side!?) Ari thought frustrated, looking everywhere for Kino. (He’s a sneaky jerk! Like a hummingbird flying at high speed from flower to flower! I can’t keep up with him!).

Ari’s eyes couldn’t find him anywhere. In late parties, he would leave her by herself and disappear not to be found by her until the end of the party or after some hours if she was lucky.

(If this keeps happening! I won’t make any progress at this rate!) Ari groaned, still looking around. Suddenly, she felt someone touch her shoulder making her go back to her senses.

“Lady Ariadna! It’s been a while!” a group of young ladies she had met at Lady Mindel’s party, Lady Shabel being one of them.

“Oh my~! You’re right! How have you all been?” Ari asked them.

(Oh dear, what a bad timing…) Ari thought as she smiled at them.

“It’s a pleasure to have encountered my lady!” lady Shabel exclaimed.

“The pleasure is all mine,” Ari said, and started talking about meaningless things.

Although Ari was secretly looking around for Kino and as soon as she would spot him she’ll excuse herself to go directly to him.

At a certain point, the music changed and all the ladies started leaving in search of a partner to dance or being asked to dance by a brave gentleman. In the end, lady Shabel, a lady called Linda and Ari remained with no one asking them to join them for a dance.

“Where is his grace, my lady?” Lady Linda asked curiously “I thought he would come to take you for a dance by now”.

“A-Ah! His Grace had some business to attend with other guests at the party and had to retire for a while” Ari invented an excuse.

“Oh! If it was for work, it can’t be helped~” Lady Shabel replied understandingly.

“I agree. Sometimes my father would take the opportunity to make business at gatherings such as this one” Lady Linda agreed.

Ari thanked they believed her lie, while she kept looking around for him. Yet when she laid her eyes on the dance floor, she forgot her search for Kino as she focused on the dancing couples. They swung around in sync with the music, somehow they were so coordinated that Ari thought of those movies back on her world replicating a ball like the one she was seeing herself. They all danced like they were professional dancers with a lot of practice for the big event. Ari always felt her heart beating fast with emotion at those scenes, but seeing it with her own eyes felt surreal. Since she was little, things like balls, dresses, princesses and anything related made her wish she was there. Even in the tight situation she found herself in, she wished she could join them… everytime.

(Even if I was asked to dance I don’t know how to do it. Maybe the original Ariadna knew as she was a noble since birth, but not me. I can’t risk making a fool of myself) Ari thought, yet her eyes never left the dance floor. (Besides, if I happen to dance with someone else, I can make Kino angry with me).

The dance piece came to an end and a round of applause followed. Ari resumed looking for Kino, but got distracted by a sudden commotion on her surroundings.

“Oh my! Could it be…?” someone said.

“I don’t believe it!” someone else said.

“What is she doing here?” Lady Linda asked incredulously.

“I never thought someone like her would attend an event like this,” Lady Shabel added.

Ari followed their direction and by the entrance she saw that a new guest arrived at the party.

A beautiful lady was slowly descending the long stair by the entrance. Her long straight hair looked like strands of gold fluttering behind her. She was wearing a deep wine dress, richly decorated with details in black. When she arrived at the bottom of the stairs, she made a little bow with her head to viscount and viscountess Weiter, the hosts of the party, that were there. They reciprocated as they thanked her for joining them. She nodded and focused once again to the rest of the party and slowly made her way through them. They moved aside as she walked, somehow intimidated by her mere presence.

“I’m shocked she’s here” Lady Linda commented, her voice almost a whisper.

“I agree. This isn’t the type of party she would attend” Lady Shabel agreed with lady Linda as well in a whisper.

“Who is she?” Ari said, realizing late that she thought it out loud.

“You don’t know who she is, Lady Ariadna!?” both ladies exclaimed looking at Ari surprised.

Before allowing her to answer, Lady Linda spoke.

“She’s her Grace Sabine Tachihara! The heiress from the Vibora clan!”

“Not to mention she’s currently the one that leads all trends in the empire. Whatever she wears or says is for sure turning into the next trend in the coming days”. Lady Shabel added.

“Everyone wishes to be part of her group or at least be on her good side. If someone dares to offend her or making her angry, it will be a social suicide! She can turn everyone against that person and it would be almost impossible to recover from it”.

Ari looked at Sabine as she kept walking. She passed exactly in front of Ari and the ladies and for a fraction of a second, Sabine seemed to look towards her direction and Ari could have sworn her eyes seemed cold and almost hateful. Was she looking at her? Did she imagine it?

Sabine kept walking across the center of the ballroom.

“Oh dear…” Ari heard Lady Shabel mutter and Ari looked towards the direction she was looking.

As people were moving away from her, someone didn’t move. Ari opened her eyes, surprised that that somebody was Kino. He was distracted by a conversation he was having with a man Ari didn’t recognize. Ari also saw that man looked behind Kino and closed his mouth in astonishment. Kino must have wondered the reason for that behavior and finally turned around to find himself face to face with Sabine that was forced to stop by this. They both look at each other, like analyzing each other. They looked like two beasts measuring their strengths. Everyone at the ball seemed to stop breathing, Ari could hear some worried whisperings around her wondering what would happen next. Some whispers claimed that Kino was being reckless by not moving aside on time, while others wondered what yould be Sabine’s next move.

After what seemed like an eternity, they simply smiled at each other and bowed at each other.

“Your grace” she greeted him.

“Your grace” he reciprocated.

Everyone was astonished and Ari could guess Kino achieved something big.

“I finally have the pleasure to make your acquaintance your grace” Sabine continued.

“The pleasure is all mine” Kino gave her a charming smile.

“I look forward to having a conversation with your grace in the near future” with another bow Sabine walked past Kino and continued her way.

As soon as Sabine disappeared, everyone seemed like they were holding their breath and finally were allowed to breathe. Soon whispers could be heard everywhere, but Kino was unbothered and resumed his conversation with the gentlemen around him that joined him once again, but Ari could tell they were somehow more lively after what had happened, most likely proud from Kino’s achievement.

“Her mere presence is intimidating” Lady Linda commented.

“I can see that…” Ari said, but was more impressed as to how Kino handled it. (It felt like a scene from Mean girls if you ask me) Ari laughed internally.

“I still can’t think of a good reason as to why her grace would attend a party like this one” Lady Shabel said.

“Whatever the reason she might have had… I’m so glad I came as well! Is it better to experience it than to hear about it, don’t you think?” Lady Linda replied excitedly.

“I agree! The rest of the ladies will be so jealous when they hear about~! I can't wait for our next gathering!” Lady Shabel agreed.

Yet Ari remembered that stare Sabine had given her. She also wasn’t quite sure if she had to admire Kino’s nerves of steel or question Kino’s sanity. In any case, she had to find him, she couldn’t go home like she always had with no progress on her plan… or any plan she had made anyway.

She excused herself and went to find Kino, only to spot him just in time taking some stairs open to the guests to the second floor. She hurried after him and when she arrived to the second floor, she lost sight of him. The second floor merely consisted of a huge corridor with an incredible set of large window-like doors that led to small balconies for guests to use for a brief pause to have some fresh air. Something that just made sense since Ari well knew that viscount and viscountess Weiter enjoyed hosting various parties every couple of weeks. As an introvert herself, she thanked having somewhere to escape to when she felt like charging her “social battery”. As Ari walked looking for Kino, she heard some noises coming from the last of the balconies on the right side of the hall. She peaked and found Kino, but she discovered Kino wasn’t alone: Sabine was with him.

“I’ve heard a lot about you, your grace, I’m glad to have encountered you this evening” Ari heard Sabine said.

“Heh? And what is that I perhaps owe the pleasure for her grace to look forward to have a word with me?” Kino replied.

“Rumors spread fast and wide in this empire, it was a matter of time for me to hear about you. I must say that what I heard has picked my interest”.

(Then what the ladies said is true!) Ari thought surprised (If she’s aware of Kino’s existence our rumors have made it to the higher circles).

“I have to say that it is quite an honor to have caught the interest of a lady such as her grace,” Kino replied, clearly satisfied.

“Is not something easy to achieve, considering that I’m hard to impress”.

“I wonder what I can do for her grace to keep her interest longer”.

(Could it be that Sabine is interested in Kino in a flirty way?) Ari wondered (I mean, she isn’t really the first, but a duchess as Sabine!? Was this a thing in the novel? I can’t remember–).

“Lady Koizumi?” a nearby voice interrupted her thoughts.

“Y-Yes!?” Ari jumped and turned to look around to find Viscount Weiter in front of her.

“I’m terribly sorry to startle you my lady” he apologized with a sympathetic chuckle for Ari’s reaction.

“N-Not at all my lord!” Ari quickly composed herself and bowed to greet him “I was simply distracted”.

“I see” the Viscount replied “Are you enjoying the party my lady?”

“Oh! Definitely! The selection of music and the decorations are wonderful! It’s clear that everything was planned with the utmost care!” Ari praised.

“I’ll let my wife know your thoughts, my lady. I’m glad it was of your liking”

“Please do, my lord. Plus your hospitality has played a great part as well!”

“You’re so very kind, my lady” Viscount Weiter said with a pleased smile “I was actually looking for his Grace, have you perhaps seen it?”

Ari paid extra attention to his words.

“Did something happen?”

“Nothing to worry, at least not as far as I'm concerned” he said “Is simply that he asked for a moment to have a word with me and is just until now that I’m finished greeting all guests that I can spare him some time”.

“I see!”

(This is my chance!) Ari thought.

“I thought you might know as his partner where could he be”

“As a matter of fact, I do know where to find him, my lord!” she answered “I’ll go and tell him myself, so if you'd like you can wait for him in one of the balconies and I tell him to go and find you”. Ari replied.

“Wonderful! Then, tell his grace I’ll be waiting on the last balcony on the other end of the hall for more privacy”.

“Sure! Meanwhile, my lord should use this time to have some fresh air himself while waiting!”

“What a great idea! You’re so kind, my lady” Viscount Weiter said and turned around and left.

Ari turned around as well and, after a deep breath, lightly knocked on the balcony’s door where they kept talking. After a brief pause, she entered.

“Excuse me…Oh! Your graces! I hope I’m not interrupting!” Ari faked surprise as she entered.

“Not at all~” Kino replied, but Ari had a glimpse of Sabine’s face to notice she wasn’t happy with her interruption “Were you looking for me?”

“I was, thankfully a servant saw you coming here and I was able to find you” Ari replied.

“Did you need something?” Kino asked.

“Actually, I came to tell you that Viscount Weiter is free now and is waiting for you in the balcony by the end of the hall”

“Ah~, then I can’t keep him waiting. If you’ll excuse me~”.

Kino left, leaving Ari and Sabine. Ari looked at her and felt the sudden change of the atmosphere. Sabine opened a fan to cover her face, not allowing Ari to read her expressions any longer.

(Kino you jerk, you didn’t introduce me to her!) Ari thought annoyed.

“Allow me to introduce myself with your grace: my name is Lady Ariadna Koizumi, youngest member of the Koizumi family” Ari introduced herself as she was of lower rank between them.

Sabine nodded. Ari felt uncomfortable in the awkward situation before her. After what felt like a long time, she spoke:

“I’ve heard about you”.

(You could have said so sooner!) Ari thought. (Ugh… This is so awkward! I want to leave!).

“It’s an honor, I hope only good things!” Ari tried to joke.

“Maybe…” Sabine answered coldly “but that doesn’t change the fact that is… annoying”.

Ari opened her eyes in surprise, taken aback by her words.

(Did I hear right?)

Ari could only look at her confused, but Sabine simply started walking towards the entrance behind her.

“If you’ll excuse me” and with that Sabine left.

Ari stayed there even after a couple of minutes trying to process what had happened.

(What was that!? Did I do something wrong? What did she mean by that?) Ari then felt angry (So the look she gave me before wasn’t my imagination!)

Ari took a deep breath and let it go.

(You won’t always be liked by other people… maybe she was just not in a good mood?) Ari said as she shrugged (Besides, I have other things to worry about).

Ari then entered the mansion and went directly to the other end of the hall where some gentlemen were having a private conversation.

(I have to find out what Kino is after. I need to try to be a step ahead of him!) Ari thought as she hurried.

As she approached the balcony silently, she listened as both gentlemen chatted.

“I’m afraid that as much as I would like to help his grace, I’m unable to do so” she heard viscount Weiter said.

“It’s hard for me to believe it, as you are well informed in all the affairs regarding the internal market,” Kino said.

Ari really didn’t have the background of their conversation, but kept listening.

“Is true, but what his grace is asking is beyond my capabilities. Rather than involving the market, I think that’s a topic more fitable for politics'’.

“Not even if I double the current offer?”

There was a brief pause, clearly Viscount Weiter was contemplating the offer.

“Something as offering such a large supply of magical weapons… enough to fully equip the Imperial Army: Are you saying that your land has a higher production capacity than the North Kingdom?”

Ari gulped.

(If Viscount Weiter knew that, in fact, Kino does have that capacity…) Ari thought, remembering the events of the novel.

Viscount Weiter sighed and the sound of footsteps was heard closer to the entrance.

“I seriously can’t help you, your Grace” Viscount said “You have great talent, I’ve heard of it and I’ve seen proof of it just now. If you continue like that you’ll have a bright future ahead. However, I don’t possess the resources or contacts to provide you with the information you need. My sincere apologies, I hope you find what you’re looking for”.

“It can’t be helped then” Kino concluded “Thank you for your time then”.

“We can sign the contract another day,” Viscount said. “However, with the original offer only”.

“You can keep the second offer, it doesn’t make a difference anyway”.

“There’s no need, the double offer was in case I could be of any help. I won’t rest if I take advantage of his grace. Now if you’ll excuse me”.

Ari heard those footsteps again, so she hid behind some curtains and waited until she was sure the Viscount was gone.

As she left her hideout, she heard Kino grunted, clearly angry that things didn’t go as we wanted.

“What a waste of time” Kino dropped the kind act “How is it possible for a business man like him not to know anything regarding the north border?”

(The north border? Could it be…?)

Kino took a deep breath and spoke in a serious tone:

“I know you’re there”.

(Dammit!) she thought, entering the balcony.

“Well, if it isn’t you~” Kino spoke mockingly “Bad habits die hard, I see~”.

“It wasn’t my intention” Ari replied apologetically.

“May I remind you that this habit of yours got you in this situation to begin with~?”

“I know”.

Standing next to each other, they saw far in the distance.

“So, how much did you listen?” Kino inquired.

“J-Just the last part” Ari replied.

“Great, just great” Kino sighed exasperated. “Just forget you heard anything”.

“I-Is there any way I can help?” Ari dared to ask.

“Another bad habit of yours: minding in other’s business. No, you can’t help” Kino turned around with the intention to leave.

Ari grasped on the balcony concrete trying to calm herself.

(I have to try something! I need to try to cross that line he’s putting between us, otherwise I won’t be able to make it!) Ari thought desperately (Those that don’t risk, don’t win!)

“I-Is pretty hard to introduce products into the Makai right?” Ari finally said nervously “Let alone cross the border… Well, or so I-I heard”.

She heard Kino’s footsteps stop. Ari dared to turn her head and saw he had turned his head around.

“What?”

“Y-Yes, after all the Makai is p-protected from external t-threats” she proceeded carefully “Is specially though in the northern barrier”.

“And that is…?” he inquired.

Ari was a nervous wreck, she had to keep going.

“T-The magic barrier of course” she declared. “It was made purely with the purpose to protect our empire”.

“You are telling me nothing new” Kino finally said and was about to leave when Ari once again said.

“Security these days has increased considerably, don’t you think?”

“Security has always been strong”.

“But you know the reason behind it?”

Kino squinted his eyes, not really answering which Ari could dare to think she had guessed it.

“Are you suggesting you know it?” Kino said in a mocking way.

“I do, in fact, know” Ari answered to his remark, sarcasm in her tone.

“I doubt it~” Kino shrugged, “so far, I have eyes and ears set on the north barrier, the reason behind it is confidential, someone as you knowing is…”

“Then, I suppose you already know about the fluctuations of the barrier” Ari finally said, somehow annoyed that Kino kept underestimating her.

Kino’s eyes opened so slightly.

“Fluctuations? In the barrier? That’s impossible” Kino said “That would mean the Makai is vulnerable to an attack any time a fluctuation lasts long enough for an army to invade”.

“Why do you think it has been kept as a secret or at least to just a few?” Ari questioned.

Kino went silent for a minute.

(Bingo! So there was something Kino didn’t know!) Ari thought satisfied.

“Fluctuations can be fixed sooner or later, even if what you said sure is interesting… doesn't make any much of a difference to me" Kino concluded to which Ari felt disappointed.

But backing off… wasn't an option anymore.

"That’s a shame really, you seem to go after big things"

"Which I deduce you can’t provide. Such a shame, better luck next time~"

"But, what if the fluctuations meant something bigger?"

Ari had his full attention and Ari had to place everything on the bet if she wanted to make a change.

"Bigger as?"

"Do you know where exactly the barrier comes from?"

"The towers" Kino answered with no hesitation "they are spread wide in the Makai"

"True, but not quite" Ari said "they amplify the magic so it covers the Makai as a whole”.

“I can hardly believe that” Kino replied “The towers must have a source of its own to produce enough magic to cover just a fraction of the land and where that ends the other tower close by would cover the next part and so on”.

“I understand your logic, but here in the Empire it is possible” Ari answered calmly. “The source is what really matters".

“Are you suggesting that something so powerful exists that is only required one of its kind to sustain the whole Empire and even better to be kept in only one place?”

"Actually, rather than imagining something… you should be thinking of someone".

"The source comes from someone and not something?"

Ari could tell Kino was confused, she had nailed what kind of information he was really after. It was understandable that it was something hard to believe, it was hard for her as well at first. However, everything made sense… at least for her with what she knew from the novel. She was given an advantage and she had to use it wisely.

"Magic reflects the state in which the porter is at. Can you imagine the severity of the situation?"

Kino was silent, Ari was expectantly waiting.

After what felt like forever, Kino spoke in a serious tone.

"Who is it? Who is producing all the magic enough to protect an empire and for it to only be distributed by the towers?"

Ari looked calmly at him, although she was a nervous wreck on the inside. It was time to use what she knew in her favor and assume the consequences that would come with them.

"No other than his Majesty the Emperor KarlHeinz".
