Somewhere upon a swell of loam, Raven let himself come to a rest.
Here was a place he could wait, at least for a little while. There seemed to be roots trying to emerge from the gloom, a feeling of growth far below, stretching high above. All of it, still out of sight. Holding its breath between pulses of the black violet feather stolen by Raven.
