Mamba’s Interlude

M amba sighed as she gazed vacantly into her computer monitor. It wasn’t a sigh of sadness or emptiness. It had a lovestruck quality, dripping with the saccharine secret that she had since learned she shared with only the flower sprite.

On the screen, her custom green cursor hovered over the PLAY button.

“Yo, Mamba,” Pinky’s voice hummed into the hissfolk girl’s headphones. “You there? Can you lock your champion in so we can get started?”

Mamba chewed on the inside fleshy bit of her upper lip. “No,” she said at last. “I think I need a break, Peachy Keen. I’ll catch up with you in a few, alright?”

Pinky’s voice came back high and filled with surprise. “Oh—okay. Are you alright?”

Mamba grinned into her camera just before shutting it off and logging off her Flinch stream. “Never better.”

The game’s epic hero selection screen music stopped abruptly as she returned to her desktop. Mamba double-clicked an audio file ripped from the internet named ‘meditation music 10 hours good for brainwaves’ and cranked the volume.

She pulled out her hissfolk tarot deck again. She was no mage, but this deck, gifted as an heirloom by her seer grandmother when she became a woman, was magic. It was real magic, too—not a discount deck that only someone with decades of training could make use of. Her deck always spoke the truth.

“Is Brock Clayton the one I’m meant to love? Is he the one the goddess Selina Silversnake has chosen for me?” She had to be sure. The signs added up. Aggressively.

When the dragon appeared in her room, her salvation, she had performed a reading only moments before. She drew three cards.

The first card drawn for a love reading was meant to represent the man one was supposed to end up with. The first card she drew was the King of Dragons. Imagine Mamba’s surprise when a literal dragon burst through her window minutes later to rescue her from a home invader.

The second card was meant to represent her. It was the Queen of Legends—a card that symbolized, in most cases, the need for forwardness and direct action. In order to win her dragon’s affection, she would need to be bold.

The third card was the Nine of Swords, the card that was supposed to reflect the manner of their meeting. She had to look that one up—she wasn’t an expert, not really. Its written meaning gave her chills to think about due to its specificity: in the context of a love reading, it stood for rescue from a false suitor.

It lined up so perfectly that she shuddered to recall it. And then, less than a day after she met him in her home, her dreamy dragon turned out to be living with her in her new home. He was practically gift-wrapped. A special delivery—destiny on her doorstep.

But she had to be sure. She had to repeat the reading. Mamba took the cards out of their box and shuffled them diligently. Her forked tongue kissed the air anxiously as she lay three cards out on the desk, face down.
