I am the victor holding stolen swords. In my image, a figure gathers three swords while two defeated opponents walk away, shoulders slumped. The sky is troubled, clouds churning. I have won - but look at my face. Is that triumph or something darker? The others leave, and I am alone with my "victory." This is what winning at all costs looks like.

Upright
Themes: Conflict, hollow victory, defeat, betrayal, walking away, win at all costs, humiliation, picking battles.
I speak with the voice of conflict's bitter truth. I am about winning that doesn't feel like winning, defeat that teaches, battles that cost everyone. When I appear, I ask: was this fight worth it? If you won, what did it cost? If you lost, what did you learn? Some battles leave no true victors.
**Themes:** Conflict, hollow victory, defeat, betrayal, walking away, win at all costs, humiliation, picking battles.

Reversed
Themes: Reconciliation, making amends, moving past conflict, or: lingering resentment, past defeats haunting, unresolved battles.
I speak of conflict resolving or old wounds from past battles. Either you're ready to put down the swords and reconcile, or you're still carrying the weight of an old defeat. My reversed message asks: can you let this conflict go? Or is there unfinished business?
**Themes:** Reconciliation, making amends, moving past conflict, or: lingering resentment, past defeats haunting, unresolved battles.
