The Raven and the Bat
(Another Chapter in Absinthes Story. This one isn't as Big as Angel of Yesterday)
Absinthe rolled around in her bed restless and plagued by nightmares. A normal night for her but there was something. She felt watched even in her dream. Her brain immediately sprung into action, making her jump up.
Or at least she tried. Her body didn't move. "Great. Sleep Paralysis. Urgh"
"No. I had to restrain you before waking you"
She didn't recognize the voice. It was softer and more melancholic than Night Haunter,her usual sleep Paralysis demon. "Who the fuck are you. Show yourself coward. If you assassinate me show me your damn face"
She nearly screamed when Corax walked out of the shadows. "Impossible! You...you have vanished long ago! How are you here??"
Corax sat down on the edge of Absinthes bed. "Irrelevant. I came to talk with you. I learned of Curzes Experiment. My brother hurt you and me by creating you"
Absinthe laughed. "Oh that's what you want. You want to kill me because I'm a stain on your loyalist track record! I knew i was right about you Ravens!", but just as she finished the restraints loosened and let her sit up.
"No. Sit down. Let us talk. Please. No need for bloodshed"
Abs thought and then sat down. ".....what do you want."
"I wanted to see my Daughter. Is that not reason enough? No. I don't have any intention on taking you off your path. You are free in your choices and you can hate me just like you hate my Brother. But believe me when I say this. I am proud of you and your changes."
Absinthe teared up. "No you aren't. NOONE WAS EVER FUCKING PROUD OF ME." Absinthe jumped up and stood before Corax to feel bigger than him. "CURZE. SEVATAR. MY MOTHER AND MY FATHER. THEY WERE NEVER PROUD OF ME! THEY HATED ME! I NEVER WAS ENOUGH! ALL I WANTED WAS TO LOVED! BUT EVEN THEN MY HEART WAS TORN OUT! SO WHY WOULD YOU BE PROUD OF ME???"
Corax stood up and Absinthe prepared to be beaten but what she got was a hug. "I am proud of you for choosing your own destiny. For leaving petty revenge behind in favor of protecting the people we fought for. I am neither Curze nor Sevatarion nor your parents. And we will most likely never meet again. But I am proud of you my Daughter.", as he finished telling her that, Absinthe felt her body being restrained and put to bed again." You should seek out your Brothers in the Raven Guard. They will welcome you"
Then. The world turned to black again. No nnightmares for the rest of the Night.

Absinthe woke up early and immediately stood up. Her room was empty and there was no sign that anyone had entered. The door was still locked the same was as she left it last night. "It was...just a dream? Heh. Weird shit Absi-"
The words died in her throat. On the ground was a single black feather.
Panic and adrenaline filled her bloodstream as she rushed towards the bridge in her hastily overthrown coat. "PETE. IMMEDIATELY CHECK THE CAMERA RECORDINGS OF THE ENTIRE SHIP! BIOSCANS EVERYTHING!!!!"
She didn't find anything.
