The Scene of Conflict
Two opponents cross their swords at the edge of an abyss, glaring malevolently into each other's faces. One attacks, the other defends. However, all these skillful maneuvers do not attract the attention of their companion. He throws down his sword and looks in another direction, having noticed a butterfly fluttering nearby. The veil of mist grows thinner, and through it emerges a clear sky filled with shimmering, serene stars.
The Nature of Opposition
Confrontation is inevitable and it can be an honest, open way to achieve your goals. The two heroes involved in the struggle are already experienced in this art, their ominous dance paying tribute to the subtleties of combat and competition.
The Call to Peace
Despite all this, the Five of Swords calls for laying down weapons. When you calm your anger, you will be surprised to discover another path. The path of self-control and superiority. Allow yourself to calm down. Follow the butterfly.
Visual Description
Three human figures in dark purple clothing and orange sashes stand and move across a snowy white landscape under a star-speckled black sky. Crystal-like swords lie planted in the snow and are carried by the figures; one sword rests on the ground between them. Snow-covered trees rise in the background and multicolored swirling ribbons fill the sky like an aurora. A small orange butterfly hovers near the right figure and the title 'FIVE of SWORDS' appears at the bottom edge of the image.
