CORVUS

The raindrops fell as if God’s wrath was upon mankind like the time of Noah. She dragged herself, with all her might into the cantine. The grand smells of sweet honeycomb biscuits, flavorful bursting gumdrops, the leaning tower of pancakes, the glowing silver and gold chocolate drinks made her mouth water. She was not supposed to be there, but some of her friends had kept talking about all the fun they’d had when they’d been at the cantine. She rushed into the noisy and music filled scene. Her eyes sparkled with delight, and she hoped she’d brought enough koins to get some of the stuff sold in the buzzing place. Someone bumped into her, and she almost fell onto the floor. Before she could even realize that she was falling, a pair of hands were wrapped around her waist.

‘‘Whoa…please let go of me..now.’’

A voice slightly chuckled like a silly little kid, and then said,

‘‘Whoops. My bad. Just didn’t want you to slip, and fall onto the brick floor. C’mon. I’ll have to get you a drink now to make up for bumping into you…eh..’’

Before he could say another word, or find out who she was— he watched her storm away from her. Something inside of him felt as if he’d been hit with a wave of pixie dust, and he could soon float into the air like Peter Pan. He dashed after her, and cleared his throat once he was right behind her.

‘‘Okay. I might have you know- I am a master of the dark arts. I can turn you into a toad, or much worse: a snail.’’

He snorted, and then raised an eyebrow. ‘‘Yeah. Sure.’’

She sighed. With a wave of her hand, a blanket of fog started to surround his body. He started coughing, and felt jolts of lightning swirling around him. What kind of severe thunderstorm was he trapped in this time? It felt unnatural.

His lungs began to slowly collapse. She mumbled something underneath her breath, but he could hardly hear what she said as his ears were filled with something inside of them that was wiggling about. When he tried to check, using his thumb and index finger, he managed to pull something out of his left ear— a giant earthworm. Blood oozed out of his ears, and gradually dripped along the side of his fake beard.

The fog swirled around him with a much greater velocity. Soon his heart started to beat much slower. He turned to face her, but all he could see was a skull with swirling dark eye sockets like the eye of a black hole.
