G: just for me, then. (leaves)

R: (i want to know more about ky, this seems like a good place to start)

K: (what?? I thought there was something you needed to pick up for him.)

R: (please, you knew i was lying about that.)

S: (there are so many things i got wrong about him. So many things i don’t know. if it wasn’t for cyras, i wouldn’t have gone to the cliff and met ky, either.

S: too hot?

C: (smiles sadly) this is a place for us. we can’t hide ourselves, here. Ready to leave?

S: let’s go.

CC: Pretty. Red. Reminds me of...

S: (takes feather out) where did you get this?

CC: the prison...the prison...

P:...it’s more than i deserve, really.

{silence}

S: i am glad that you’re safe, Pak.

P: i’m relieved you are too, my boy. Im relieved you are, too.

That’s why a group of us, Neekia’s parents and myself included, formed a non-murder Murder, in an attempt to just live peacefully within our tiny community. But of course it wasn’t meant to be.

S: does Neekia know? About you. About cyras.

P; cyras told her, as i understand it. H...

P: even if they knew about The Croaking, they would never speak of it. Why would they mention something that could disrupt their social standing? Ally them with the corvids – the lowest of the low. It’s within their best interest to keep their mouths shut. And many of them were born on the Is...

. Only vaguely, mind. We were young then, ourselves. When they started coming for us, they made sure to take the oldest of us first, the ones who’s memories were more intact. But with the rumours of the reappearance of The Croaking circulating more, they’ve upped their quota and now they’ll...

S( thinks he’s seen that dove on the news more often lately. Always in the background.) ...ive wondered this for a while, and cyras hinted at it but i want it confirmed...is all of this to do with...The Croaking?

P: (smiles). You’ve always been too curious for your own good, you know th...

But it’s a fairly new practice, one that I’ve seen rise with the ascent of another group in terms of prevalence. The Doves.

S: the doves?? Why would they –

P: the elderly crows we aren’t able to rescue from the Prison, the ones that slip through the cracks, are taken to them. ...

There are safehouses scattered around the Island, connected by tunnels. We’re moved about, until it’s safe for small groups of us to be ferried here. Cyras managed to make some deal with that Admiral, and things got a lot faster, more streamlined, and after many years it was finally my turn.<...

. I assumed you both had been also, and honestly, the Murder life is hard, but you were safer in one. As I’d been searching, I’d learned of the slow disappearance of the old Crows. There are many friends i never saw again, gone in the night. I was alone, vulnerable. I knew no Murder in their ...

TC 162-1 sketch

P: you have to understand, you weren’t the only one who had their life overturned that night. I went back to our house, watched as they put the fire out. Waited until dawn, when they confirmed there were no survivors, before starting my search. If we had made it out, surely someone else had, to...

okok enough preamble let's get to itttt

TC 161-11 sketch

S: i can’t think of you as any less of a coward, so you might as well get on with it.

P: (smiles ruefully) sit down, then. It’s a bit of a long story.

TC 161-10 sketch

Do you really feel as if he hasn’t improved your life in some way?

S: forcing me to kill someone to join his “family”? slashing my feathers so i couldn’t fly? Having to be constantly at his beck and call? No, i don’t feel as though he’s improved my life, sorry. I’m glad you’...

TC 161-9 sketch

P: sometimes people do things to protect the ones they care about. Sometimes others don’t realize that until they see the whole picture.

S: but he doesn’t CARE about me, or any of us –

P: look around. Do you really believe that? He’s risked so much for our species, continues t...

. The other Murder came earlier than we’d expected. He didn’t set the fire, he tried to warn us of it.

S:but...why didn’t he just TELL me it wasn’t him?! All this time...ive still blamed and hated him all this time.

TC 161-7 sketch

P:...you came all this way, with him, still believing he was responsible for that?

S: it’s...complicated.

P: it wasn’t him, boy. That night when he came to the door, he told neekias mother to leave, that another Murder was coming for us. He offered us safety, if we joined him. We ...

P:who...scra?

S: you never came back.

P: i know m’boy.

S: you left us there. In that orphanage. After cyras ...killed our family. To be preyed on by other Murders.

P:that’s–

S: Where WERE you.

We managed to hold onto one thing, at least. All the Murders, the Tidings, the Clatterings, the Bands, the Chatterings – they were named after old-world Corvid factions. an act of defiance, the last remnant of our ancestors we were able to hold on to. Not many of us know that, though. Just more...

mostly the older crows, who had known no other life. The young were forced to leave and assimilate into the slums the government had corralled the losers of the war into. The ones who were already living on the island, at least. The ones who had actually fought were killed. Our culture and histor...
