A ferocious and deadly vampire was behind the wall and just jumped at us out of nowhere at incredible speed. Obviously he is not deterred by any obstacles. He is swinging a big scepter at us as a weapon, as if it were an axe.
The mercury symbol is on his belt and the sagitarius symbol his pendant. I mention this because Eight of Wands is mercury in sagitarius.
I want to point that since the deck is heavily inspired by the Thoth, the keyword for this card is SWIFTNESS.
