A perfect, dark, and iridescent raven soars above us. Her feathers are silken, her talons sharp. She captivates us with her agility and beauty as she flies into the countryside ahead. She lets out a cry to call our attention, and we know she is not simply a raven. She is here to guide us. She is a shapeshifter, an alluring contradiction. both warrior and healer. She is the Morrigan.
