The Raven's Return

[princeofswans]

They've become crows. All of them. A crimson rain fell upon them, and they sprouted black feathers and sharp beaks. They have been bathed in the Raven's blood, and now they are his loyal servants, every one of them.

I'm hiding out in Charon's blacksmith. I've managed to find a serviceable sword, but only my sword, Lohengrin, has the power to wound

Mytho! I am well, Charon's simply does not have what I require.

Are you unharmed?

[princeofswans]

Why is that? How can a knight fight without a sword?

I am fine. But ... it will prove difficult to defend myself from these crows. I can't simply slay them, like the phantom crows from before. These people were, are my friends. I can't hurt them in any way.

...I am no use as a knight. I hope to serve better as a writer.

Perhaps you should take one of the shields.

[princeofswans]

A writer? Then ... you intend to change the story? How?

Yes, that would be a good idea. That way, I can protect myself from the crows and their sharp beaks. If the Raven manages to steal my heart ... he'd have enough power to break free from the confines of Gold Crown Town and spread his darkness over all the world.
