KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
Korbin nodded. He knew the reasoning, knew the consequences of returning without anything to show. It was not unusual to come back empty handed, but it was always better to have something in the bag when they came back.
Especially today.
Reaching into his clothes, Korbin pulled out a water skin, drank from it, and handed it over to the hunter. "Drink. I'll take a look from above, see what I can see."
Making sure Noah would accept the skin, Korbin shimmered and shifted, the raven already in flight by the time dark wings had replaced the young man's tall frame.
Flying out of the crevasse, he headed almost straight up and leveled out only when he had a good view of the surrounding landscape. There were no signs of the cannibals as far as his eyes could see, and there was a definite relief in him at that. Unfortunately, there were no signs of other life either, and his circles grew ever wider as he scanned the ground for tracks.

Quoth the Raven,
"Nevermore."
"Nevermore."
