I grab his shoulders, shaking him. "Fight it!" He looks up, his eyes voids edged with gold. "I can't. It's too loud." The Chorus watches from the storm's eye, her mask flickering with satisfaction. *"The crown's song is eternal. You cannot silence it."* I turn to her. "Then I'll rewrite it."

Warriors and nobles, once proud and loud, stood quietly, their hands clasped before them. As the sun slipped beneath the horizon, the kings of both realms stepped forward together.

A crown on and a staff which looked like that of kings of the ancient times. "All hail the king of old!!". "All hail the king of old!!". The crowd chorused with their heads bowed onto the floor, hailing their warlord who stood with a hand folded into a ball at his back, and his face looking cold with no emotions in them. They bowed their heads and the king olor with his daughter, princess Lucy kneeled bowing as they sang praises hailing their warlord.

He held out his hand and touched Ezra held lovingly, he turned his gaze to me and touched my head as well, and I smiled. “The crown!” His father said, the crown was brought forth and carried, his father raised it in the air, and a mic was immediately put in front of him. “Alpha Ezra Lethal of the Lycan and the werewolf has been crowned.” His father said loudly as he dropped the crown on Ezra’s head. The whole crowd went wild as Ezra’s crown was put on his head. “Crown!” His father said and a cute crown was brought forth, he took it from it laid, and a mic was brought to his mouth again.

The crow studies us with a black, beady eye. He hops to the edge of the table, opens his beak, and caws shrilly again. Todd lobs the book across the room.

Fortunately, he only experienced it for a moment before everything returned to normal, with the sound of a crow already perched on his shoulder, with the crow's eyes looking at him anxiously. From a long time ago, the Berthold family had a strong bond with the crows thanks to the grace of Morrigan's blood flowing within their bodies, attracting the crows to be by their side whenever they needed it.
