On the Day of Reckoning
A sound rings out—clear, undeniable, impossible to ignore. It is the voice of truth, the call of destiny, the moment your soul has been waiting for. Your trial of trials. Your Judgement day.
You are not here by chance, but because you are ready. You have gone through hell and back. You carry with you the lessons of those that you have met along the way.
At the start of your journey, you were The Fool. Now you are ready to rise into the life that has been waiting for you all along.
Will you answer the call?
What is Judgement?

It signifies a moment of clarity, a deep understanding of where you’ve been and where you are meant to go next.
This is the crossroads between the past and the future, where reflection turns into action and hesitation gives way to purpose.
