The One Winged Crow

Dried Ale and Foreboding

Narrator POV
Crow and Audine had been completely and utterly lost in the forest, they had walked for countless hours, Crows left side still burned from what happened yesterday, but the pain had dulled to a dull throbbing, so at least it was bearable.

They had walked until they finally came to the edge of the forest as the tree's spread out more and more they could see the rising sun, something they hadn't seen since the two had entered the forest considering the fog had been too thick and heavy to see anything.

As the two walked into the open they both saw what they assumed to be Vanya Village slowly came into view, Crow then fell to the ground, purely from exhaustion but had also been a cause of her wound haven't been treated due to Crow's stubbornness that It was.

Nothing to worry about.

Not wanting to take the risk of taking Crow to the village even though it meant they knew how to properly treat her and Audine knew full well that Crow would go into hysterics if she did that.

So instead, Audine picked up Crow and laid her underneath a tree and sat beside her to wait for her to wake up.

Audine's POV

I laid beside Crow in my wolf form as to not attract any attention, as the sun rose and it began to heat the earth from the cool night and boy did it feel good.

I was startled when sometime later Crow jumped to her feet so fast that I fell to the ground on my back.

After getting back on my paws I looked up at Crow to see she was panting heavily, her Gray eyes had contracted to the size of dots, and sweat was dripping off her in heavy doses.

It had taken her a few minutes to calm herself down, once I felt that Cow had calmed down enough I approached her.

"Are you okay Crow?"

Crow looked at me and gave me a false smile of amusement.

"I'm alright Audine it was just a nightmare nothing to worry about."

I looked at Crow not fully believing her, but at the same time an argument wouldn't help things, so in return, I wagged my tail and forced a smile of my own.

"Good, but we should get going, I don't know about you but I want to taste some of Bernia's famous booze."

I turned around when I heard Crow giving a short chuckle, that sounded as soft as silk, and a chuckle like that was rare at times considering that most of them sounded forced and fake, but a genuine one was a real treat, Her chuckle seems as smooth as butter, a stark contrast compared to her actual voice which is hoarse.

Oh by Luna her smile is amazing, how did I end up traveling with a spectacular beauty lik-.

"Audine you coming or what?"

I was brought back to reality by Crow calling for me; she was well ahead of me looking confused and amused by my daydreaming.

"I thought that you wanted to get some of Bernia's famous booze?"

"SHOVE A SOCK IN IT CROW!!"

I began grumbling something under my breath as I sprinted until walking to what they had both assumed to be Bernia Village.

Damn Crow's hips look good and by the size of her hips, they may be good for bearing possible pu-AUDINE WHAT THE FUCK?!

You are not into her, and you do not want to mate her, no matter how good she must fe-AUDINE CUT IT OUT WHAT THE TOMFUCKERY IS WITH YOU!?!

I immediately ran ahead of Crow to avoid those thoughts and apparently wasn't looking where I was running and fell into a ditch, but when I got to my paws I saw a bridge above me, I noticed that my paws were slightly muddy, this struck me as odd, was this a river?
