Visual Description

A young woman stands in shallow mist with her back to the viewer, dressed only in undergarments and raising her hands toward her face as if shielding herself. In front of her a tall, winged, stone-like male figure hovers cruciform, arms outstretched and holding a long, glowing horizontal sword that emits pale light. The setting is a cavernous, dripping space with textured rock walls and a pool of luminous vapor at their feet. The black border of the card shows the red numeral 9 and small sword icons, and the words SWORDS / ESPADAS and SPADE / ÉPÉES at the margins.
