Knight of Swords

“Time is of the essence. I will give it my all, for the mission must be completed.”

Vision

Braving the snowstorm, a warrior with eyes only for targets and preys rides swiftly across the frozen battlefield. This card reveals a period of constant change and turbulence. Feeling threatened, the Knight points his sword forward. While the Page is still managing information, the Knight already knows whom he is competing against and what for. His only desire now is to reach the interim goal faster than anyone else.

Message

I sometimes feel that the Knight of Swords is the most likely of all the court characters to hurt others with his words. He rarely slows down to consider others’ feelings, dismissing emotions as trivial and temporary. He cares deeply about goals, numbers, scores, and rankings. He reminds me of myself and my friend during a gaming season, pouring all our time into improving our rank. Any disputes or hard feelings during the game become irrelevant once “Victory” pops up on the screen.
