One of the villagers stepped out of the village hall and put two fingers in his mouth before whistling loudly.
The whistle echoed across the air, and several ravens started flapping their wings. They leaped off the roofs and started flying towards the source of the whistle.
The villager received a written letter from Branton before leaving the village hall. He held it in a gentle grip and soon saw several black ravens appearing in the sky.
They quickly descended and flew around the villager before landing on the snowy ground.
The villager knelt on the ground and took one of the ravens into his palm. Then, he tied the letter into its leg.
After that, he patted the raven's feathers, and it started flapping its wings before leaping towards the light blue sky.
The village turned silent as the black raven disappeared into the horizon. Everyone held their breaths as the clock continued ticking clockwise.
