Chapter 28: Battle of Wisdom (1)
While still carefully looking at the talking raven he began asking one of the countless questions on his mind.
"Why did you call me the 'Demon of the Unknown' ?"
The raven puffed its feathers up and began to talk again, its beak still completely unrelated to what was truly being said.
"The religion of rescue and safety pronounced you as a 'Demon', a threat to their wellbeing."
"I... want to help them, make good what I did wrong...."
The crow began moving its beak as if it was laughing but undisturbed by that the voice continued talking.
"They don't care. I was pronounced as a demon when I healed an innocent little child, just because I wasn't like them, just because I don't worship the gods.... and because I'm a talking raven..."
The raven stared intently at Cades, probably trying to get him to put his sword away, but Cades didn't put it away, not even in the slightest, he had been hurt too many times.
Cades still continued on talking, he had many questions.
"How do you know the ehetrian language ?"
The bird had now flown down from the top of the shelf onto the desk and began explaining.
