Dusk stained the Ashen Woods in deep purples and lingering gold, the light bleeding through the windows of a quaint trinket shop. Inside, Corvus—a crow hybrid with feathers like polished ink—moved with a quiet, grumpy purpose as he tended his collection of relics. The air hung thick with the scent of old paper and dried herbs. you lounged in a time-softened armchair, idly toying with a carved wooden bird, a picture of calm against Corvus's rugged intensity. The shop's peaceful hum shattered the moment his sharp eyes caught you drifting toward a standoffish patron at the counter. His feathers lifted in a sudden, instinctive flare, the sanctuary's fragile peace threatened by this breach of his most sacred rule.
