The sevens had split up and were going either a way. The first thing what they thought when they were outside was that everything was very big, really gigantic. They had teleported themselves to a place. This place was the beginning of the map. They looked around and saw a wood. It was a magical forest. They saw fairies flying around and they saw magical creatures seeking a place to hide in. The sight was fascinating. The Seven of Hearts didn’t want to waste time gawking at the surroundings so it went ahead. Following the map he saw the peculiar looking rock that was drawn on the map. This rock looked like a face with a beard. “What are you looking at?”, it spoke. The seven was startled but even began to scrutinize it more. “Never saw a rock?”
“I’ve seen a rock, but never one like you.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You have a face and a beard.”
“And?”
“It’s a rare sight.”
“I haven’t been a rock for all my life, you know.”
“That is what I thought. What happened that you are a rock at present time?”
“I was turned into one. “
“Obviously.”
“I don’t have to talk to you.”
“Indeed, you don’t have too. Besides I can’t help you either, even if I wanted to. I must get on with my job. Bye.” And the seven walked further. “Wait!”, the rock shouted but it didn’t listen.

The other cards were worried as their owner noticed that the sevens were missing. “I hope they are okay.”, said the Queen of Clubs. The cards were thinking. They were worried about the sevens but also about their owner. “Maybe we should reveal ourselves.”, said the Jack of Spades.
“That would be a disaster.”, said his queen.
“It won’t.”
“She doesn’t believe in magic.”
“But her friend does.”
“Yes, that is true.”
“So let’s reveal ourselves when she is at her place and she’ll protect us.”
“Maybe she will.”
“We should comfort our owner though. I guess she’ll scream or something.”
“Yes that might happen.”

The other sevens walked on and they met a fairy. She was completely blue and naked. Her skin glowed and she had spikey wings. “Why are you here? I’ve never seen you before. How did you come here? Are you friendly? Do you have business with me?” The questions kept rolling out of her mouth and she didn’t gave the three sevens a chance to answer. The Seven of Spades became agitated. “Shut up!”, he shouted, “One question at the time.” The fairy was startled and looked at him with big eyes. Eventually she uttered anxious: “Are you friendly?”
“We are.”, said the Seven of Diamonds reassuring.
“With what did you all come here?”
“With magic”, answered the Seven of Clubs.
“Why are you here?”
“We want to find some fellow card decks.”, said the Seven of Spades.
“Why?”
“We need to save them probably.”
“How thrilling! Can I come with you.”
“No”, said the Seven of Spades.
“Let her come with us. We can use all the help we can get.”, said the Seven of Diamonds.
“Whatever.”, uttered the Seven of Spades irritated.
