Pond, Wasteland
crow
pond visitor
I spend my days visiting the pond. I fish to feed my family. We also picnic in front of the pond ocassionally.
Rotten.. bones? What happened here? Let me wet my whistle and I will tell you. It all happened so fast. I knew I couldn't trust that witch. That darned witch is always causing death and destruction in her wake. Please crow, what happened? She said she would give me as much food I could ever want if I got her the Kings amulet. Well, There is no shortage of food for me here. Pretty easy pickings but i miss all of my friends that were alive. Oh dear! Did all this happen here by the pond? I see a large footprint here - was this from her? Yes, That is permanent. It is meant to remind me. I wish I could take it all back! Here here, crow. Drink from this cup and it will settle your spirits. Thank you very much. Is this a magical cup? I sure hope so. Not magical, but it will soothe your feelings and then we can work on a plan. Ok, What kind of plan? This place seems too far gone to become what it used to be? Your friends are gone, I'm sad to say, but you can make new friends. Like me, perhaps. You really mean it? I'm so lonely crowing here all by myself. Maybe you could take me with you? I forgot what it was like to eat a live worm. Maybe I could find a mate!
