Crow-Kin: Fantasy

[penthius]

The crow voice came upon him when he was just a little baby, crying in his crib. His mother sent for the herbwife in the village, but when she heard the harsh call coming form the baby's throat, she backed out of the room and sent for the wizard three towns over. When the wizard came, he hemmed and hawed and measured the baby's throat and ran his fingers through the fine baby hair that had just started to grow in. "Well, he doesn't have pinions, and that's something," he finally told the concerned mother. "What?" she gasped. "Your child is crow-kin."
