KORBIN
Leave my loneliness unbroken!
- quit the bust above my door!
- quit the bust above my door!
Off. Away. Hurryhurryhurry, before it caught up. It? The cat, of course. What else?
Memories.
No. Nonono, there was nothing to remember. Only white snow, and blue sky, and the biting wind as the raven raced off towards the north. A glance at the ground showed no feline loping beneath, but that meant nothing. Not when the sound of leathery wings ripping and clawing against the wind behind him - it, the bird - kept following, unrelenting.
Korb - "No!" the raven cut off, panic and creeping dread lacing like poison through the mental voice. "Wrong. Go away!"
It was dangerous here. Slowing down might prove fatal. Being caught... the thought did not bear thinking. The raven sped up, faster and faster. Clinging to some futile hope that maybe it might outrun the pursuit.

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