An old soothsayer spoke to [Knight] in the road.
Soothsayer:  You there, would you like to have your fortune told?

[Knight] decided to let her try.

Soothsayer:  Now, draw one from this set of cards.

[Knight] drew a card as instructed.

Soothsayer:  Let me see...  Ha, [Attribute] card?  Your fate is insteresintg.  That’s all I can tell you...

What she said made [Knight] even more curious. [Knight] tried to get more information out of her...  But she would not give any further information.

Soothsayer:  I would rather give you the power of the card.

Then she snapped her finger.  All of a sudden, the card became a glaring silver light, shining all over.

[Knight] eyes closed.  Some sort of power was filling into [Knight]’s body.

Soothsayer:  Go ahead and overcome the cross awaiting you with the power. [If anybody knows what the heck this is supposed to mean, please clue me in.]

[Knight] gained X [Attribute] points.

As [Knight]’s eyes opened, the mysterious soothsayer was gone...
