Have you ever seen the devil?
Well Iโve met him twice.
Once to make a deal, and once when he saved my life.
I. The HierophantTradition when Upright, rebellion when pวsษนวสว๊ค.
Conformity, structures that have long since been.
Morality, ethics. All things I once had, when I had been only a lad.
Rules to follow that have always been there, rules that made me want to pull out my hair.
Boring court games, chess players, kings.
Concealed bastards, broken, and pretty things.They were fun at first, but then grew boring quick, for the old men and sycophants around me hadn't grown quick enough for my wit.
I had powers and titles, but what did that matter when it was no fun, when after years of it I only longed for the day to be done?
I had my fun, and played my games when I was small, but as I grew older I grew wanting for more.
I wanted more than fancy clothes and polished crowns, I wanted my name as the Fisher Prince to go far around.
I wanted to outshine my sister, my kingdom, the world, and I could not do then when only fishing nets and pretty dresses around me swirled.
Nor could I do that when my dear mother and father decided to cut me off, and send me away to learn some more moral thought.
They saw me grow into the son they never wanted me to be, one who was greedy, and sought for power and to laze about with lavish gifts and golden wine, and they hoped to fix me.
Little did they know they had only sent me to a much different destiny.
II. The DevilA card most would fear, who's whispers they were always to terrified to hear.
He stood for addiction, corruption, and playfulness too, and in the eyes of those of good hearts that just wouldn't do.
Upright he was a cruel master, but Reสวษนsวp he was more kind, at least in my own devilish eyes.
Reversed he meant freedom, release, a restore of control, and that sounded quite brilliant, and a way to get back what my parents stole.As I wandered, cold, starving, alone, I called out to the Devil, seeking warmth in his home.
I knew of his deals, and the way they could go wrong, but I was prepared to pay any price, to sing any song.
I knew what I was getting into, and that there was no going back, and I welcomed it, like a new present, so nicely wrapped.
I did not want simply to become a king, or for power of gold, I wanted fun, I wanted chaos, I wanted for nothing to be boring when I earned my throne.
I had played nice, and now that time was done. I wanted to show the world that it was I who had won.
Most who sought the devil were desperate, pure of heart, but I was not, I had lost that long ago, and I wished for a partner in who's schemes I could equally take part.
The Devil could trick me all he'd like, but I'd trick him right back.
I knew his games, and I was prepared to p l a y.
After the seventh day, he finally heard my call, and I saw him, a goat of white with red eyes so very tall.
I gave him my deal, and he accepted.
In exchange for my humanity, for my empathy, and all the goodness in me, I gained a patron of my very own to be.
And a friend, who was curious to see who I would be, when the chaos he gave surrounded me.
III. The TowerA portent for destruction.
A sign to signal disaster, to signal death.
A chaos, a perfect chaos, at my behest.
Broken pride. Upheaval. A fear of suffering.Dreams that were just nearly brought to fruition, broken by disastrous, dangerous ambition.
All at the hand of my own volition.
For I am the tower now, a secret no one will ever know,
for

will only infect their bones, and disaster follows me whatever I go.
I met the Devil and now I am one too.
Now, what's your secret,
