Ricky lead Paul to a tent, it wasn't anything special, just a black tent and Ricky went inside, Paul following him and Paul stopped when he entered.
There were all kinds of magical talismans, crystals, animal bones and other sorts of magical things, there was a small place for sleeping in the corner, a table in the center of the room surrounded by chairs and there was a man at the table looking through some cards.
The man was dark haired with large gauges in his ears, nose and lip piercings, he looked up at Ricky and grinned, saw Paul and his grin faded.
"Why's he here?" Kuza asked with a sneer and Ricky hesitated,
"He's here because he needs a reading Kuza, nothing more or less"
Kuza raised an eyebrow, looking from Ricky to Paul then back to Ricky before he sighed and gestured to a seat at the table,
"Sit down then".
Paul walked over and slowly sat down, Kuza spreading the cards out on the table and gesturing to them,
"Wave your hand over the cards then pick three cards"
Paul glanced at the cards, slowly moving his hand over the cards and picking out three from the pile, Kuza taking them from his hands almost immediately and looking at the cards, his eyebrows raising and Paul felt his heart drop.
"What...?" Paul asked and Kuza chuckled,
"Well, good and bad news"
"Give me the good news first"
"Well the good news is that there's victory in your future, and love it seems" Kuza said with a wink and Paul's face burned bright,
"Okay now what's the bad news?"
"Oh there's gonna be bloodshed. Lots of it"
"Lovely" Paul grumbled and Kuza shrugged, picking up the cards and going to put them away,
"Don't worry your highness, I'm sure it'll be fine"
Paul winced, "It's Paul..."
"Mhm...goodbye now".
Ricky grabbed Paul's arm, standing him up and thanking Kuza before dragging Paul out of the tent,
"So that's a witch?"
"Yea...he's a lot more powerful than cards lemme tell you"
"I'll believe you" Paul said and Ricky brightened suddenly,
"Have you ever had a pretzel?"
"...A what?".
