Arcana Hour

Arcana Hour: The Fool - Knowing the Task

Tasks completion generally requires the coordination of others. Coordinated human interaction takes on the role of combining the integration of time, energy, effort, ability, and resources of multiple individuals to meet a common goal. Coordination can also be thought of as the critical mechanism that links or ties together the efforts on the singular level to that of the larger task being completed by multiple members. Coordination allows for the successful completion of the otherwise larger tasks that one might encounter. (Via Wikipedia)

Story:

Zeke:

After the tension I felt from the levitating card, I took a tight hold of Layla for her protection. I held her in my arms, yet nothing happened, the atmosphere is heavy and covered with fear, yet for me it was nothing. I felt strange that night. But after a few seconds, everything went back to normal. The card fell, as well as Layla, I caught her right after she lost her consciousness.

I called out her name several times, lest, she couldn't reply. Luckily, I hear her breathing, I thought that she was just tired and scared about what had happened. I decided to look after her for the night, I laid her down on my bed and tucked her in. I gave her a goodnight kiss on the forehead after so.

Being a protective brother is a hard job. I protect the ones I care about, especially my family. Not that I'm playing cool or anything but, I just want everything to go exactly how a normal life would be.

I then picked up the Tarot Card, sat on my rolling chair facing my laptop and tried to search every detail and secret about these so called 'Major Arcana'. I wanted to spend my whole night figuring out the puzzle. The questions "Why did it create a deadly atmosphere?", "Why is it here in the first place?", and "Why did I felt nothing?"

I need to know the answer myself, the hours passed by, it was almost midnight. That's right. Mom and Dad are at the Porters. I guess they'll be back right about... now. I heard the door open from downstairs. It was surprising how I can predict on what was going to happen, yet I just let it pass.

Fatigue built up throughout my entire body, yet I can't seriously keep Layla in my bed. At first I was like, "I have to take care of her at least for tonight." But now, I'm like, "If she's going to sleep here... where will I sleep?" I sighed as I thought of that question.

I stood up from the rolling chair and picked up Layla. I carried her all the way to her room. And it seems mom and dad are already asleep, luckily. I opened the door, and laid her down on the surface of her bed, tucked her in and left.

So far I have nothing, not one thing. I can't figure out the secret in this card. I took a hold of it while I was still sitting on the rolling chair. I examined it with my gaze and I don't even know how to describe this picture.

And better off, I think it should be kept a secret from mom and dad. Besides, this mystery hasn't even begun yet. I still have a lot to do to solve it, for Layla.

After those decisions, I decided to turn in for the night. I forgot that I still have school tomorrow, I yawned loudly and stretched my arms. I stood up from the rolling chair and jumped to bed. I didn't care about my posture, all I needed was a good night sleep.

The next day...

Layla:

I had the weirdest dream ever. I opened my eyes as I regained consciousness. I am in my room, how unusual. From what I know, last night I was with my brother, finding information about the card that I found in my pocket the other day.

I got off from bed and looked at the clock, it's still a bit early, 6:02 am. I still have more than an hour to get to school. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to analyze the card more. I glanced over at the drawer, walked up to it and opened it.
