Song Of Raven Chick
The call of the ebony bird rang through the trees, and soon was taken up by others like it. The call created a path, from the young Raven that started it; it weaved back towards the Raven Camp.
Trouble. It was coming soon and fast. Tarn could feel the terror of the bird call, and opening his sharp beak, he called to his Clan, repeating the warning. A small hunting party had been sent out, and something horrible had gone wrong.
He longed to take flight and feel the thrill of the wind as he swerved through the trees, hoping to make it, hoping to save the hunting party.
However, he was just a small chick, a baby hatchling and he could do nothing. He heard a young girl calling for her Fa, one of the men in the hunting party...
She was almost old enough to help, but still too young, just like him, she could do nothing. A woman tried to hush the young girl, and soon she was bawling, holding tightly to the woman.
Tarn stopped his alarm cry, and sprawling out from his small nest, he flapped rapidly and landed at the pathetically at the feet of the young girl and the woman with a thump. The girl looked down quietly as he cried a small coo.
The girl, smiling only barely through her reddened face, leaned down and picked up Tarn's small, light body. She giggled quietly, and held him close.
Soon, a small song came from the baby Raven, doing his best to protect and care for the young girl.
Don't cry, it'll be alright.
I will fly by your side,
Day and night
Wings wide
Hush, little one
I'm not very strong
But I'll be the one
To keep you strong
I am the Guardian
The protector
Wings of Obsidian
I'll be your savor
Don't cry, it'll be alright.
I will fly by your side,
Day and night
Wings wide
So please
Don't cry, it'll be alright.
I will fly by your side,
Day and night
Wings wiii....iiide...
And the girl smiled, she heard his small voice and understood what he was trying to say, even without the real, true definition of it.
And that was all that mattered.
