A shadow casted down upon the ground, light cut off for a moment by the black cloud. A murder of Crows flew ahead, high in the air with their wings flapping endlessly. Occasional squeaks ripped through the air, quiet but still loud enough to be heard even from the land.
They moved quickly, with no flaws and nothing bothering them, each keeping up with the pace and no one staying behind. Their black eyes staring far ahead, almost as if they could see something a human eye couldn't and wasn't capable of seeing.
Whoever dared to look up upon noticing their appearance was overcome with a sudden fear, legs trembling and arms itching, a feeling too familiar in their guts.
But no matter who looked or what they did, the murder continued on their way. Because they were sent on a mission that they couldn't fail. They were born just for this exact moment and there was no place for any mistakes. Something was calling them, their instincts taking the best out of them to the point where they broke out of their keeper's connection.

Their instincts were strong, leading them exactly where they were supposed to be. The pull on the bond was there, they could feel it. And it only meant one thing.
Their voices turned into one, small heads chanting in a loop.

They were clearer than normal, louder and more focused on the goal all together. A mission it was, something they waited years for. No matter the generation, the goal was the same. To look out for the Raven Child and provide him with safety. The thought of him being lost somewhere else didn't sit right with them, the distance too far to protect the Fledgling.
He was supposed to be in the Nest, where it was safe and nothing could get to him. There was no harm in the Nest.
But little Birdies were supposed to leave the nest eventually and they were assigned to follow him to a new one. Where they could keep an eye on him and push away any harm coming his way.

That thought alone ripped few short calls from the Crows that flew on the side, both left and right parting from the middle group. In front of them formed an old entrance to a cave, nothing but darkness visible inside. One of the Crows, the oldest one, called out and awaited for a call back. Nothing happened for a moment and when the crow was about to call for the second time, a soft cry answered, echoing through the dark cave and reaching their small ears.
The oldest Crow slowly flew closer to the entrance of the cave, head titling to the side to see if it could see something. But with it being so dark, it had no chance of noticing anything odd. Instead, it looked back and called before diving inside the cave. Quickly followed by the rest of the Crow's that were in the middle part, they all disappeared in the darkness. The two groups left outside took a moment to fly above the cave and observe their surrounding, before half of them dived towards the ground and soon also disappeared in the darkness. For a moment, the only birds that left didn't do much, simply flying around and waiting. Soon enough, they circled the cave and dived right inside, their vision decreasing by the lack of any light.
That didn't stop them from flying deeper inside the cave, dodging any rocks or different traps at the last second.
