"Something's changing," Koraki noted, looking up from the scroll he had been reading. Bok paid him little notice. Even without hatchlings around, the corven had decided to stick around and conduct research on the kingdom and what it needed.
"That's poetic," Bok remarked.
"No, something big is about to go down. I can fell it. Something's going on with Jett," Koraki explained.
"You can sense Jett?" Bok put down his quill. This bird was full of surprises.
"I'm magically bound to him and his bloodline," Koraki reminded him. "I can't read his mind or anything, but I can feel the way his magic attunes to the magic of the city sometimes."
"Huh," Bok said, going back to his poetry.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Bok gently set down his quill and moved to answer it. He wasn't used to getting visitors.
To his surprise, Kestrel was on the other side. She wore a huge grin, and she was wiggling so much that she had almost tied herself up in a knot.

"Kes! What are you doing here? How did you get out of the palace?" Bok felt his heart skip a beat. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.
"Scoril was making a run for it, I saw my chance and I took it!" Kestrel shrugged. "Now we can do all those things we've always talked about doing! Now I can see our son!"
"Lester has kids of his own now!" Bok told her. "Miguel and Mila."
"Those are beautiful names!" Kestrel squealed. "Everything is beautiful! I can't believe I'm free!"
"Won't your father come looking for you?" Bok asked, heart thudding in his chest.
"Oh, let him try. He has much bigger concerns right now," Kestrel laughed. "Now, why don't you show me where Lester lives? I want to meet my grandchildren!"
Just as soon as the words were out of her mouth, darkness fell upon the kingdom. It was a much inkier black than the normal violet tones of the shadow flight, and Bok couldn't make out anything, even though candles were lit around the entire room. It was unnatural, and everything about it make Bok feel sick.
"The Shade!" Kestrel's voice trembled. "It's here!"

Okay, so, announcement time.We are reaching the endgame of this story, and as a result, I'm dropping the pinkerlocke rules for the final showdown. I have spent the past year pouring my heart and soul into this story, and I want to make sure to give it the ending it deserves. As a result, I need full control over the characters and the deaths that occur. I hope you can all trust me to make these creative decisions and deliver the ending this story needs.
I still want to put items in the title, so I don't mess with the aesthetic I have going on there, so through the entire final conflict, I'll be using an [item=ambush]. I'll get a bit more creative for the resolution.
Thank you all for joining me on this ride. I look forward to bringing you to the end of such a big project. I hope I can do it justice. There are some big things about to go down.
Still capable of animation long after its host body has been destroyed, the best tactic for dispatching these airborne skulls is with a swift projectile.
