The Warrior's Dilemma

The rider thirsts to resolve conflict through weapons, but Love always stands against violence. Even sex can resemble a battle. It is necessary to understand that one must fight against the very act of fighting.

Visual Description

An armored knight sits astride a horse, helmeted and holding a long sword upright. A woman in a long red-orange cloak stands before him with her back to the viewer, facing the knight and the horse. The setting is a grassy field with low bushes and a tree with green and brown leaves behind them. A single sword symbol appears at the top of the card and a narrow border with multilingual titles runs along the left edge.
