Tell the Crows They Can Have Their Pound of Flesh (3rd life oneshot)

The door to the room opened. I stopped, and peered at My King with all of the hope I had left.

He shook his head, looking devastated.

"Martyn, we're going to war."

A 3rd life oneshot and songfic set in a medieval AU that was cooked up in less than a week.

Inspired by the song "The Garden" by The Crane Wives. Yes, I heard the lyric "My stone, my shield, my steady hand," and then just . . . wrote this.

TWs:

. War
. Death
. Blood
. Are crows considered a trigger warning if they're doing disturbing things?
. Some other things I can't say because I don't want to spoil this, but could make some people uncomfortable and/or trigger them

Please be careful while reading, and don't feel forced to read the entire thing or any of it at all if it makes you uncomfortable. It's okay, this fic isn't for everyone :D
