That same weary look as before cross over Leyik's features. "Ah, already you sound like the king whose crown you wear," she said, a far-seeing smile on her lips. "Your corbran-friends will forget you, too." Abruptly, she grew careless again, and her voice lilted up into the cheery cantor that...

"Command?" And powerful. And influence. This guy was full of odd words. A tilt of the head from the girl-raven, a blink of her black eyes. She heeded him, even though the witch Kori insisted otherwise. It was lucky for Kor that she liked to listen to people, even when she did not like what they...

"Have you had a heart long, Leyik?" Leyik blinked hot tears away. She was too jumbled to respond as Norvyk's words fell in warm, crackling layers around her. But she felt every one of them. Little sparks that pricked at her, and burned something there inside, leaving a mark that would not leave...

The man who was raven-kin did not speak directly to Leyik, and so she did not answer him with the knowledge that she had. Of places and history. She kept her eyes on the witchy woman, as her own introduction was offered. "Koreen Lecovindugardeen de Creepy Cool," Leyik repeated as best she...

The meeting of the winds was always an ephemeral thing. There for a time, and then gone, as soon as the four directions split once more, the heavens untangled themselves, and the crystals stopped singing. Leyik had seen it some times before. The island in the sky. There for the winged to chase...

A soft scolding came from the Sky Lord, and a gentle touch. Rueful then, that Leyik was not a gentle creature. "I'll look wherever I like!" She squawked back with fervor. She bounced a step away from the Sky Lord's grasp, and pointed emphatically at the tiles beneath her feet. "Down there is...

An answer was given. Ripples reached the pond shore. The image of the redheaded elf - for it was only an image, dreams of the dead given weight in the murky waters of the shallow pool - whispered away as steam off a bath. Leyik's left hand dropped back at her side. The raven girl made a funny...

It was so tedious sometimes, helping humans. They really had to have someone that looked like them, before they fully understood. Leyik would humor them. She twisted in the air above the two's heads, a ball of feathers and darkness that was difficult to comprehend. Wings became fingerbones and...

The ravens laughed their throaty laughs. A pine needle fell into the pond, sending ripples across the surface of the water. And the two travelers, ambitious and forlorn, grabbed the two crowns with little fuss. The hands that held the crowns retreated back into the water. Only the bearer of the...

Leyik stood at the base of the Sky Lord's throne and listened intently to his story. She blinked her wide, black eyes and breathed tempered breaths under her feathered cloak. He spoke of stars, and weakening leylines, and an evil that spread across the land. An evil. It was really many little...

Leyik did not mind flocking with the lesser of her kin. She merrily joined the flutter of darkling wings and low-rumble calls as the traveler's birds gathered in the trees. They told their stories of other lands, and Leyik listened, and joined in with her own news. For awhile she was content...

Mortal kind once pursued the magic of the Vale until the very gods fled from their greed. Artifacts of valley and gale, wend and wood, drawn from the hearts of spirits and the hides of favored beasts. That was many hundreds of years ago. But even now, the Valen still has treasures to give. To...
