A calling of ravens
« on: January 01, 2015, 11:16:38 PM »
Perched atop a  disheveled ancient tree, dead long past, struck by lightening, a single  branch reaching skywards in defiance of doom, the elder raven watched,   cocking its head to one side to give its single eye best view, feathers  dry and dusty for this bird had also left life far behind when it became  the one raven, the eldest of birds.Eye glittering in recognition of  doom amidst the dark skies eternal twilight, head nodding momentarily  before a single harsh craw would emerge from dust ridden throat,  suddenly sky filling with birds wheeling and diving about his perch,  millions of birds cawing in echo of the summon, sound building to ear  shattering crescendo then... Utter silence, not even a whisp of breeze  as energies crackled capturing the sound and sending it bursting forth  to summon the master, to draw him back to the realm he was bound to  protect in her name until she herself released him.

A silence so  deep that the sound of a pin dropping on velvet would burst the eardrums  of mortal man. The primal point the only focus, the loci of this place,  the heart of darkness and light bound in a single terrible instant.  Perhaps the reason that the Creator was both so powerful and powerless  at the same time, for the energies contained within the solitary gleam  of diamonds revelation seared in eternal flame. A deep subterranean  rumbling disturbing the silence as the gleam momentarily darkened then  light exploding forth releasing a tall raven winged being, returning  from within the solitude of all things. Pausing a moment to assess his  altered status, turning to face the singularity of eternity and bowing  deeply before ravenesque wings would extend and he would leap away into  darkness.

Ayenee was locked, cut off from so many worlds by a  binding done long before by Her, the Queen, yet the primal point existed  simultaneously amidst and within all things it effectively meant a  pathway existed outside of any rule. Moreso, it meant that but an  instant from leaving the focus of all worlds he was standing beside the  tree from whence the summons had come. dark eyes looking about a slight  nod of acknowledgement to his ancient friend, the raven before he would  sink into the earth of Ayenee and begin to survey all that was around  him, all that had come before and would yet come... He was Uriel, he  served the Creator but he also served her, to protect what was hers, and  now he had returned home, to her worlds, to again stand in defense of  whatever may come...
