Blake Intro, Centaur!AU
Sep. 6th, 2012 08:45 pmA raven circled him once, then lit on the ground with grace that belied the weight borne on its great black wings. Tiny ice crystals formed under its clawed feet as it took one hopping step to come to rest near his arm. A faint chill colored the air as it leaned forward, cocking its head.
Blake whispered to it, and it inhaled, the lightest of hisses through its beak, hearing him. Its round black eyes took in his own flightless state, moving down his body and back to his face. It did not pity him, a characteristic of the clan for which Blake was ever grateful, especially in this moment.
The raven knelt, opening its wings. Ravens did not engage in idle conversation, for all that they participated in the affairs of those earthbound. Yet this one, slow waves of frosted air barely visible rolling down from its body, it released a single, quiet caw. You are watched, it said, and then with a beat that flushed a chill towards Blake it took to the air once more, leaving him far below on the ground.
