A bright light shone in Losa's eyes as she slowly opened it. She heard crows all around. They seem to be singing and having fun.
She heard a drum, repeated over and over again. She concludes that a celebration is taking place around. She smiled because of the music and songs of the small voices. kids having fun maybe.
She closed her eyes again while her vision was still blurred. She was happy to see the event around her but because of the bad feeling in her head, she could not look at the location.
She rolled her eyes and woke up again.
Losa was stunned by what she saw. There are huge birds' nests. They look like a house in size. While there are the black crows perched while continuing to sing and have fun.
She looked around at the large nesting bed made of various weeds. The other part of the nest is golden while the other part is black. Like a combination of gold and black diamonds, so precious and beautiful.
She is new to what she is witnessing today. She did not think that thousands of crows were alive. Whereas, in the human world it is only once to see this kind of bird, it is one of the endangered species, she thought.
She got up and squeezed her head. Losa struggles to remember what had happened to her earlier, and why she came here.
She remembered the female bird that Raven had taken from them. Itima is the name of that female bird!
She looked around, looking for the woman named Itima. But she could not see the woman because there were thousands of crows there.
Even Raven is not around and nowhere to be found.
Where did the two go? Did the two leave her in the middle of the ravens' tribe?
She stood up and shook her body. She lost her headache because of the feeling. She does not want to be confined in this place with crows.
The surroundings are clear; from some trees that provide light all around. The leaves of the tree are glowing; as bright as the light in their house in the human world.
Losa was about to jump out of the nest when suddenly two crows approached in front of her.
It's not that big. A normal size when she often sees crows in the human world.
"Follow us, dear princess. . . They have been waiting for you to wake up," said one of the crows with a thin girl voice.
She hadn't dreamed before when she witnessed the crow speaking when she was still young at home.
"Where are you taking me? To Raven and Itima?" she asked, while examining the two.
The two crows did not answer her and they started to fly.
Suddenly, a black cloud appeared in front of her. The black cloud they rode earlier. Losa would not have thought that there was such a thing in the world. She thought that only movies could see that. She could do nothing but ride there.
She took a deep breath as it flew at her with the two crows just in front of them.
They passed several more roads and circled before they reached the destination.
They stopped at a paradisiacal garden overlooking the seafront.
She saw a big bird flying in the sky. And as it gets closer and closer, she vividly sees its face. It was Itima- the female crow.
It was accompanied by a huge crow with red eyes. It was huge, as big as a human being.
She was sure it was Raven. . . she cannot be wrong.
She waited for the two to land.
The huge crow looks human. And she did not . Raven was enveloped by the black smoke until it gradually returned to its original form. . . in human form— Raven.
"How are you feeling, dear princess?" Itima asked her.
"It simply came to our notice then. . . " she replied.
Losa looked up at Raven as it walked closer to Itima's place.
Raven stared at her intently. But its eyes were full of sadness and seemed to have something to say to her.
"In that case, get ready. We will start rehearsing in the air, " he said as he let out a cloud of black smoke and hit her body.
That's how shocked she was.
She felt warmth all over her body. All her muscles tighten. It was as if an energy was trying to penetrate and envelop her entire body.
She cried when she felt the fiery flames burning in hrr whole soul. She was enveloped in thick black smoke as the wind grew stronger. The smoke seemed to be blowing with small flames all around.
Gradually, she felt the change in her body and also her strength. Even her dress is gradually changing.
A black underfoot replaced her slippers. Its end is sharp like a raven's foot, with wings attached to either side. Her arm wrist had a black arm wrist metal bracelet, with a winged embossed design. There was a little fire coming out of it and black smoke. The same goes for the shoes she is wearing. Her bra metal is wing-shaped open on both sides, also black smoky, and fiery. Also in her short black skirt, is made of raven feathers but strong. Her metal helmet was also pulled from the crow's wing behind her head, while in front of it was drawn from the crow's beak. It also burns and smokes.
Her eyes were pitch black as she stared at Raven and Itima.
She feels different, it seems she wants to fight. She has sheer energy, she is sure of that.
"That is your true power. . . Raven Girl. "
She grinned at what Raven had said. When a large force joined her, she felt like she knew how to fight.
But she just had to try that when she found out.
"Let's get started," she said, with an evil grin.
"Just a reminder, dear princess. . . do not use your power for evilness."
There was a glowing red color on her other side. Quality of a crow that identifies her as the chosen one, that she is the raven girl.
She nodded in agreement with what Itima said. Losa will never misuse her power.
"I wish I could. . . after this mission of mine, let me live normally. Get everything back to normal. "
Raven averted his eyes from her.
"If that's what you want," Raven said, reluctantly.
The man turned around and looked like a crow and flew fast upwards.
Raven left them. Itima stared at her seriously.
"Fly. . . with your power, dear princess. "
Losa's forehead furrowed. She doesn't know how, this novice will just fly her?
"Imagine you are rising in the air, dear princess. Lighten your weight and let the wind and your power pull you. "
She did what Itima said. She closed her eyes and thought she was rising from the ground. Soon, there was energy rising inside her. She felt like floating in the air.
She slowly opened her eyes when she felt the enormous energy pulling at her. And that was just how she shouted when she flew so fast up into the air.
She rolled in the air. Losa could not control herself, her power. She got off and flew up again. She went to the crowded part of the garden where she was. Losa crashed into the trees.
"Ahhh!" she shouted, as she struggled against the energy that was about to overeat her.
She fell to the ground while beating her whole body.
"Ahh," she whispered, when Losa felt a slight pain in her elbow and side.
Itima immediately approached her.
"Get up dear princess. . . after that you will not feel pain anymore. "
Itima helped Losa to stand up.
She stared at her situation.
Will she still be able to fly despite her condition?
"Try again, raven girl." Itima's voice was full of challenges as she stared at her.
Losa felt like she was going to die when she repeated to fly.
But, there's no raven girl quitting.
