Knight of Swords
宝剑骑士
A knight charges forward on a powerful horse, sword raised high, cape streaming behind them. The sky is turbulent with storm clouds, trees bend in the wind, and the horse's mane flies wildly — everything in this card speaks of speed, urgency, and unstoppable mental force. The Knight of Swords is the most intense and single-minded of the four Knights. When they identify a goal, they pursue it with razor focus and relentless energy, cutting through obstacles and opposition with the force of pure will. They are brilliant, articulate, and fearless — but they can also be ruthless, tactless, and so focused on their objective that they trample everything in their path. When this card appears, swift, decisive action is needed — but temper your charge with awareness. The Knight of Swords wins the battle but sometimes destroys the peace. Speak your truth, pursue your goals, but remember that the most effective sword is wielded with precision, not just force.
