XIV Temperence



Her name is Temperence. Like those before her, she serves as the bridge between extremes. Her name means moderation; she is the wick that fuels the flame above with liquid wax below. Too long a wick and the flame drains out the wax all too soon; too short a wick and the flame dies out.

It is not easy finding balance along the edge; equilibrium is harder to maintain than it is to obtain.
