N O T E S

Raven is a shapeshifter who can appear in other dragons dreams. Her most common forms are a dragon, wolf, and raven. She feeds off of fear and nightmares which is reflected in the red tinge of her pearl. She isn't necessarily an evil or bad dragon, it is just her nature and is the purpose she was born with.

Its pitch black dark

You're blindly running through a ragged forest. All you can hear is your heart thumping in your head and the pounding of your feet. You have no idea where your going, and you don't care, you just have to run. Run away as fast as you can. You hear a growl and a bark behind you and fear bubbles up from inside of you. You try to run faster, but it seems like no matter how hard you try, you can't get any faster. You glance back and see the black dire wolf loping right behind you, her ruby red eyes piercing through the night. Her cold stare catches you. Your legs seem to stop working. You trip. You fall. Anxiety fills your lungs. You can't breath. You shut your eyes. You curl up into a ball. Your wait for her to decend on top of you.

But it never comes...

You wearily glance up. There is no wolf, but a dragon sitting before you. Black like the night, with maroon feathery wings, she flicks her tail back and forth. As you raise your head to see her face you see she adorns a wolf pelt that covers her head, a black dire wolf to be exact, in which her piercing ruby red eyes shine from beaneath it. She smiles at you. "Hello little one" she coos. Your breaths are uneven, adrenaline still pumping in your veins. She peers at you "Hmmm, not a talker much?" She gets up and starts pacing around you and you notice she is carrying around a glowing red pearl. You open and close your mouth, but nothing comes out, words choked up in your throat. You try again. "Wh... wh..who..." You choke out on your words again, anxiety and fear still wound up inside of you. She turns towards you, "Oh, me?" She seemed surprised at the question. Then, stepping to you, her eyes narrows and a wicked grin appears on her face. "Oh little one, I'm your worst nightmare"

You jolt awake.

It was a dream. Just a dream. You get up and shake uneasy feeling off. You stretch, and make you way outside. The sun is peering through the leaves as they dance in the breeze. Movement catches in the corner of your eye, and you snap your head to it. A black raven sits in the leaves, its back to you. You contemplate it. Ravens aren't usually around here at this time of year, and they usually don't migrate until winter, and it is mid-summer. It's black, bleak body stands out against the bright green foliage. You take a step towards it to get a closer look. It flutters around and faces you. You breath catches in your throat. Your heart stops. It's piercing, ruby red eyes stare back at you. Your body seizes up in fear. You manage to shut your eyes and shake your head, trying to calm yourself. "No, it's just a bird" You open your eyes to look back up at the trees.

The raven is gone.

...and the only trace is a maroon colored feather floating blissfully in the wind.
