So today, we'll be focusing on something called Chien Tung, or Chinese Fortune Sticks. Even playing a modified version of it. Does anyone know what Chien Tung is and would care to give a brief explanation about it?"

So, Emmaleigh found herself lost in arithmancy once again. She sighed, and actually began to doodle on her parchment as she thought. If Arithmancy had something to do with divination, then maybe she could guess. Raising her hand, she asked, "Is it kinda like Tarot cards, where each stick has a different meaning?"
