Four of Swords

Rainwater soaked my wings, and I fell like a withered leaf into a golden garden. A pair of gentle wings wrapped around me, and drowsiness came over me. Half-dreaming and half-awake, I seemed to hear three black birds plotting in secret. In the distance, the forest began to burn, and the flames gradually spread toward this golden garden. Then a burst of lightning flared, and a red door cut me off from the fire. Tiny specks of light flew out from the keyhole, and a fairy whispered softly, “Don’t be afraid. It’s all an illusion. Rest well. When you wake, bury the key in the soil. The vines that grow will show you a safe path.”
