Three old crows sat In a branch glowering at a young mother carrying a small child by the hand to a large estate. The child's dark hair in a braid. The girl looked to be around three, and the supposed mother around thirty. The duo were met at the door by a man in his thirties as well. Another three year old by his side.
"We have seen enough sisters. Let us retire to our home"cackled the biggest crow.
"But Agatha! We do not know everything about the girls new home!" The second crow insisted
"We shall return soon enough, but I don't speak on either yours or Agatha's account, but I have business to attend to!" The third crow decided. So it was that all three crows left the scene.
Upon arriving at their small cottage near Ember River, the three crows transformed into three disheveled women with black hair done in messy buns and black, shapeless frocks. They entered the secluded cottage and commenced talking on how to go about their business.
"I see little need for informing the council of this new development in Celine's whereabouts." Agatha informed the others. The other two nodded in approval.
"They will be at our door soon enough however! Don't you agree Marla? Agatha?" Tabitha included. The two women agreed that this was the case and set about on their individual duties.

Often mistaken as angels, thus ruining the pristine image of the actual angels, for their old woman appearances frightened mortals. It was for this reason that they took the shape of crows as to ensure no deaths at the hands of a panic attack.
