Arcane Crows Novels & Stories

Sure enough, what Akira said. In the sky the crow carried the poor man. A crow with a large body, a giant crow. "Look at the sky!" point at Akira to me. I immediately looked up at the sky, and was surprised to see a giant crow flying towards here. I saw the eyes of a large crow with blood red color staring intently at me, I quickly hid behind Akira's body in fear. "Hi, what's wrong?" Akira asked me.

Beyond the glass, balanced on the ledge with the casual arrogance of something that knew it could not be touched, was a crow. Not the kind of crow that scavenged kitchen scraps or fought with sparrows over fallen bread. This one was too large, too still, its feathers so black they seemed to have swallowed a hole in the afternoon light. Its head was cocked, one eye fixed on the room with an attention that felt personal. The eye was purple. It was not a trick of the light. Purple, like something that had no business sitting in the skull of a bird. "That's not a normal crow," Naya said.

This time no one complained. Everyone had learned. The scout slowly pointed ahead. A narrow pass opened between two cliffs. At its center stood a massive stone arch. Ancient. Weathered. Half buried beneath centuries of snow. Strange symbols covered every inch of its surface. The sight immediately made the Bone Crown react. Heat surged through Lyra's skull. The symbols began glowing. One by one. Blue. Then silver. Then white. Astrid swore. "What is it?" Lucien asked. The northern woman looked genuinely alarmed.

Its glowing light covers them in its soft colors and protects them from the crows. Mary gives Elena a hand getting to her feet. “Come on, let’s go”. “What is the play here? With this I don’t know if we are going to get any signals to come in,” the witch says. “At this point, I’m starting to think there won’t be any signal,” Elena is not convinced the twins will be able to reach them now. When they planned to sabotage Dracula's spell, they did not expect this. Marcus and his men try to take cover as the crows’ attack everyone in the park.

Stuck out like a sore thumb. Heading to the left, Priamos put on his brakes. Went from a trot to a walk within seconds. The smell hit me before anything else. Putrid. Acid. Rancid blood mixed in with bodily fluids that had aged. I wanted to gag. Vomit. Spill my guts on the snow beside the large hole looming in front of me. The hole was massive. Contained a magnitude of fresh corpses on the top. Skeletons on the side mixed with still decomposing bodies. Maggots feasted on what was left out for them. Although, it was strange to note that they weren't frozen.

"She knows a lot already. I will kill her. You will confirm if she's your mate. I brought the dagger. Once she bleeds to death so quick then she's the wrong one. I want to prove that to you" "But..." The door flung open revealing Mia. She had opened the door, her mistake. Carly thought immediately "Carly?" A hand slightly pushed Mia behind revealing the second person. She was wearing all purple but with a ninja mask. "Hi" She said "Raven!" Luca yelled. He had fought little with her and had known how good she was. "I see the hunt began in a fresh way today. The report I got from my men is that your mimions at the south have been captured. You know I would need more experiments on your kind bu

he breathed into her ear before capturing her lips in a gentle kiss. He pulled away, grasping Klara around her waist. “We have joined in Mateship, now we have joined in rank. What say you?” Marc addressed the crowd. Klara tried to remember who it was that was in the room during the coronation. It was higher level wolves, she remembered that much. “Here, here!” A voice called, soon to be followed by all in the room. Marc guided her back to her own throne as he sat in his. Their hands still clasped in one another’s.

“Where are the others?” *“Guarded,”* the crow says. *“The light shards by memory. The dark by malice.”* Jarek slams the black shard down beside it. The table cracks, the two shards repelling each other like rival magnets. “And if we don’t play this game?” The shadow crow laughs from the rafters. *“Then your world becomes mine.”* --- **The Hunt Begins** We split at dawn. Selene and Kieran follow the golden crow north. Jarek takes the shadow crow south, despite Ryland’s protests.

Eden’s POV My jaw dropped open. The crow continued to circle high above. Caw. Caw. It screeched at us in a frantic, frenzied way. “Did you just say…sister?” I whispered back to Beta Brighton. Unlike the rest of us, he was looking up at the crow with admiration. Crows have never been my favorite bird. They’re scavengers and they’re smart. A group of crows is called a ‘murder’. I always found that disturbing. But Beta Brighton gripped my arm. “Please,” he said under his breath.

Leah shrugged. There was no point fighting over it. This patch of land sat awkwardly between the Prince of Varkos's territory and Moonclaw lands, belonging to neither, cared about by none. It just existed—quiet, ignored, and useful for exactly this kind of thing. Silence, without witnesses. Mia sat down beside her like she had always belonged there, legs folding in a loose sprawl. "So," Mia said, glancing sideways at her, "why were you at the wedding with Cyrus Moonclaw?"
