A young boy who will soon receive the Blessing from the patron goddess and officially become an adult.His unusually intelligent, but utterly harmless raven companion. Just an unremarkable bird. Nothing special.It would be absurd to suggest that the raven has some grand designs of its own.Or that it possesses mystical powers that can influence, perhaps even enthrall those around it.Let alone claim that it is an agent of some higher power—an entity not only incomprehensible to human minds, but also a mystery to the gods themselves.Such silly notions. Stop overthinking.It clearly just wants the best for its human friend.Let the raven be.Do not think about it.Aspiring participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge, approval pending.
