%-- Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.This is a card of courage and energy.

If Tomorrow Never Comes...
"Remember to sms me when you reach home, okay?"
Without looking at him, she nodded and mumbled a reply, "Ya, okay." She felt him hugging her tightly before letting her go. A strange sense of melancholy enveloped her as she slowly walked away.
Of course he has a meeting with his friend, and he has no money to send me home right now. So it's okay..it's okay.. She tried to re-assure herself over and over again as she walked to the bus-stop across and down the road.
Hearing the familiar rumble of a bus' engine, she turned to check if it was the bus she could take home. Goodness knew how long she'd have to wait if she missed that only bus.
OMG. She started running, cursing herself mentally for walking so slowly before. Without noticing, she started to cross a side-road when bright lights flared on her left a moment before she felt weightlessness.
'WA! 77kg! You catching up with me le!' She heard his voice teasing her about her newly accquired weight. 'Yes! Let's go for 85kg! Next time you come my house, must weigh!' She smiled dreamily at the recollection, her hands reaching out towards his face.
Bright lights came again, but this time it was accompanied with a horn blaring. The weightlessness seemed to continue as she felt her body moving in a different direction this time.
And then all went dark. She could only hear his voice, calling her name anxiously. Her lips moved to answer him, but she could not hear her own voice apart from the thoughts formed in her head.

"Remember to sms me when you reach home, okay?"
She worried him. She was too quiet the whole day, and damn, it was his fault. He knew she was worried about something - most likely it was about the fact that both of them were dead broke.
He hugged her tightly against him, knowing that it wouldn't help her tension, but needing to make sure she was as okay as she could get. He heard her mumbled reply of "Ya, okay" and then let her go. He watched as she walked away, making sure she crossed the road to the other side safely before he turned away to walk to his own bus-stop. He was kind of late for his meeting with his other friends as it is.
He saw the only bus that she could take home trundle past him and fervently he hoped that she would catch it. It was then he heard the screech of brakes and the blaring of horns a few seconds later.
He screamed as he turned and his eyes registered the scene. He had recognised her body, as limp as a rag doll's, being flung into the air by the car that came screeching out of the side road, and then as her body was hit by another car from the main road.
Rushing across the road, he pushed past the already forming crowd. "We're like bulldozers, you know?" She had commented once. That thought formed tears in his eyes as he cradled her mangled body, calling out her name desperately, willing her to be alive.
"Some body call an ambulance!" He rasped at the onlookers, tears streaming down his face. "Someone call the police!"
Unbelievably, she was smiling, and as he watched, her lips formed the words, "I love you".

And I don't want the world to see me
I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Strength
It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it.
Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot.
With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
