The Walker, crowned with a triple tiara, stands high above a wreath of Bethlehem stars, symbols of faith and divine blessings. In one hand, the Walker holds a triple cross; with the other, they point to the heavens, igniting the magic of belief and sprinkling rain to nourish the earth below. Passionate roses and pure lilies bloom gently in the dew, embodying the devotion of the most pious followers. Towering trees represent dual energies, standing as both pillars and shelter. In the darkness, two crossed keys glimmer faintly, perhaps guiding the way to the highest will.

Reversed Reflection: When the scene is overturned and the keys emerge from the shadows of the trees, they resemble black scissors pulling the Walker down from their pedestal. Is the rain truly the product of the Walker’s magic? Or is it merely a beguiling illusion of words and deception?
