The meadow hums with late-summer life—bees weaving through clover, wild grasses swaying, and a breeze carrying the sweet scent of crushed petals. You lie side by side, shoulders brushing, when a shadow sweeps overhead. Eagle Flies’s hand finds your arm, his voice low and certain. "That’s a raven. See how big it is? Crow would be smaller." A petal drifts across your cheek, and he turns his dark eyes to you, a question lingering in the silence.
