[这绘本中的每一页都解释了一张塔利斯牌的意义。扉页上写着一行宇:]

我最亲爱的奎拉娜，

你睡着的时候我又进行了一次塔利斯牌占卜。我本以为会抽出愚者，因为我认为你的冒险确实有勇无谋。但是，我却抽到了这张:

波涛十 - 代表着圣眷，极乐或幻象
流星 - 代表寻得宝藏，或愿望得尝
死神 - 代表新的开始

波涛牌组代表爱，我知道我们之间的感情还很脆弱，但...
请理解我在看到这幅牌时的心惊肉跳。我已经盯着它们看了一个小时，必须离开了(毕竟那些杯子可不会自己变干净)，我知道当我今晚回家时，你一定已经离开。

但等你回来，请告诉我你是否也有同感，还是这一切只是个极乐的幻象?

爱你的,
艾丽斯

英文原文：

[Each page in this illustrated book describes the meaning of a different Talis card.A message has been penned down on the title page:]

My dearest Quelenna,

While you were sleeping, I did another Talis reading. I half expected to draw the fool, because that is what I feel like, and what is your venture if not reckless? Instead, I drew these:

The Ten of Waves - meaning divine love, bliss, or illusions
The Comet - meaning riches found, or fulfilled wishes
Death - meaning new beginnings

The suit of Waves resembles love, and I know what we have is still frail, but… can you blame my heart for beating faster when I saw these cards? I've been staring at them for an hour, and I need to go (the cups aren't going to clean themselves), but I know that when I come back home tonight, you will be gone.

But when you return, will you tell me if you feel the same, or if this was all just a blissful illusion?

I love you,
Alys
