CORVUS

“No one can save us from him…..no one….none at all…none..no one. We are all going to be slaughtered like chickens. It’s time we all get ready to leave, and find safer, ‘n’ greener pastures!” The children had all been tucked in, and were fast asleep. They were dreaming of sheep and other animals that they thought were cute, and fluffy- with soft fur like a rabbit. They had no idea a meeting was being held by some of the older folks in the village. Or that some folks were about to lose their minds from the nightmares they’d been having lately. They’d gathered around in the tiny cottage, and formed what felt like a council of mages, but none had any access to magick, or magickal spells/incantations. One of the elderly folks let out what sounded like a groan. He had enough of the fear surrounding the village like a sea of shadows that kept rising higher, & higher causing much more gloom. The elder pleaded that they needed to ask for help from the being that lived in the odd looking mushroom like cottage. Some of the other folks shook their heads. They were not ready to seek help from a being that they thought would turn them into a toad, or even worse…take over their entire being.. human aura. One of the folks grew restless, and volunteered to seek help from the mushroom being. The rest of the crowd wished him all the best, and the meeting was adjourned…for the time being. Later close to the hour of midnight, the volunteer approached the mushroom cottage. He knocked on the front door, and was greeted by a croon. The volunteer steeped into the cottage, and felt his heart skip a beat. His feet landed in something gooey like slime, or syrup. He tried to move, but the substance soon covered his whole body. The volunteer felt the material slowly make its way into his body. Something foul and syrupy moved through his ears, mouth, nose, and shortly after throat. Then his body fell onto the ground. The being in the cottage stepped out of the shadows, and stared into the volunteer’s face. The last thing he saw was the being muttering something underneath her breath, and a raven suddenly appearing right beside her. They both grinned, and were happy to have another body added to their collection of human souls.
