A Journey of Faith and Destiny

Chapter 3

"You will have many friends when you need them." ~ A fortune cookie I opened once

Faith asked her to sit down, the round table feels all too familiar. Destiny took a seat, looking at the contents. The deck of cards immediately caught her attention.

"I had a dream and I saw you. These cards were scattered all over the table." Destiny spoke. Faith pulled the three cards from the deck.

"These cards were also in my vision, they were in your dream yes?" The psychic revealed the cards. Destiny nodded, looking at the symbols.

"What do they mean? They are important enough to see in my dream and your vision." She took the cards and concentrated hard, not understanding them.

"The Sun, basically means joy or success. Something good in coming your way." Faith spoke, a smile on her face. "The Star brings hope and funnily enough faith." She continued and let out a small chuckle. Destiny couldn't help but laugh a little as well.

"Finally, the last card is Strength. It means inner strength and compassion. Before you arrived, many people felt your compassion." Destiny looked down as she continued explaining. Her compassion felt depleted when her heart split in two.

"I don't feel strong. I'm hurting inside." She took a deep sigh as she flipped the strong card face down. Faith nodded, putting her cards away.

"That's why you left isn't it? Wanting to find your inner strength again?" The question was one Destiny wasn't ready for. That was exactly why she left but the real question was; is she ever going back?

Destiny stood up, ready to leave. She didn't want to hear the truth right now, not yet. She sighed, looking back at the psychic.

"You understand me a lot, I can tell something about you. You're tired of being in the same place. You feel trapped here." Destiny gave her the offer. Faith was a little shocked, they both knew something about each other that they haven't said to anyone else before.

"You have a point, this town is a little slow on my end. I feel sometimes my energy is wasted here. They don't believe in my power." Faith sighed as she stood up, willing to get out of here.

"Meet me at the dock in the morning, we're setting sail, I'd pack a bag if I were you." Destiny smiled as she left the store, walking back to the inn for the night.

Faith stood in her store, alone. Get ready to leave, you're finally leaving. She thought to herself. She packed her essentials into a sack before going to bed unable to sleep due to anticipation...
