(was going to seek crow for the gift, as its a spirit he can speak to and was going to seek hilma for the rite of awakening bringing her a gift)

(*thumbs up* Lemme set the scene here.)

*Evening. The moon was a sliver behind dark clouds at the Storm Crows estate when Dalton stepped sideways. The Crows were there, they were always there, a great flock that circled the pack house and kept a steady watch on it whether perched on fence or high wire of borne on wing and feather above the land. The skies flashed lighting occasionally within the clouds, but for the most part the umbral night was darker than the real world, the moon hidden behind those clouds and the ground bathed in eerie lights as though cast by gas lamps...*

*HE looked up at the crows and called to his totem..* Storm Crow I seek your wisdom..
Sprits.... (Nov 20, 2011 11:23:32 PM)
*there was no noticable change in the flock, the crows above - when they were visible - continued to wheel and spin and float on the air. Dalton probably thought for a moment that his voice had gone un-noticed when he felt something tapping on his foot. A glance down revealed a single Jackdaw, pecking at his foot and looking sideways up at him with one shiney black eye.*
Dalton Fortman (Nov 20, 2011 11:26:25 PM)
*He looked down at the jackdaw* hello there, you are the little one who has been sticking around lately yes? *He would not be able to understand the small single jackdaw as he could yet speak spirit speech. He how ever tried like he normaly did to try and garner what it was trying to get across to him through its movements*
Sprits.... (Nov 20, 2011 11:28:05 PM)
*The Jackdaw fluttered up and flew to Dalton's shoulder, landed there, and perched, his beak pointed away from the pack house toward the back of the yard. He waited a moment, then pecked at Dalton's shoulder once, and again pointed with his beak, his head fixed on a point back there....*
Dalton Fortman (Nov 20, 2011 11:30:03 PM)
*He nodded and began to walk towards the back of the house with the jackdaw on his shoulder. long slow strides as he moved in the direction the spirit asked of him.. *

Back there, behind the house, as he walked on he realized the house had faded into the darkness although the sounds of the crows was there, still around him, when a great wide black tree began to emerge from the shadows, like a massive swamp oak draped in Spanish Moss, it's branches going bare in the autumn. At first he didn't understand - this tree didn't grow in the yard - but then he saw that there was a great nest fiftteen feet up, andwhen he got close enough the Jackdaw flew up and settled on a branch as big around as Dalton's torso next to the nest....*
Dalton Fortman (Nov 20, 2011 11:35:21 PM)
*He looked skyward towards the nest and the jackdaw.. He began to climb the tree it was not a hard thing to do with branches that strong and wide and he seemed to take enjoyment in the climbing as he streached his limbs in the skyward climb a talon would have made a coment about monkeys should they have seen him climb*

(Dex + ath please, std dif) The tree was like a swamp oak, incredibly hard and strong, thick, with rough but healthy bark that gave good grip...*

(lol yeh daltons like swining on branches makin tarzan jealous haha)
Sprits.... (Nov 20, 2011 11:39:55 PM)
*Dalton got to the branch theJackdaw was sitting upon easily and looked into the nest. One big mother of a Crow was perched there, sitting on a clutch of eggs. The Crow looked up and spread it's winges, then settled down* Why do you come to see me, Twists the Truth?
Dalton Fortman (Nov 20, 2011 11:41:51 PM)
*Dalton spoke* I would like to learn the gift spirit speech, I know it is not one of my auspice, though I seek the wisdom none the less. Not trying to act outside my auspice, my auspice is one of balance. Though there are things and situations that as a adren I need to adress and being unable to communicate with the spirits has become increasingly dangerous as of late. (afk potty brbr)
Sprits.... (Nov 20, 2011 11:43:33 PM)
*The Crow watched Dalton as he spoke, pondered him with those black-as-death eyes, and finally tilted it's head to one side* You're Theurges can not help you? I am curious why you come to Storm Crow directly, Twists-the-Truth...
Sprits.... (Nov 20, 2011 11:48:23 PM)
(AFK one)
Dalton Fortman (Nov 20, 2011 11:50:00 PM)
*He responded* I want to earn the privlage from the spirits, I want to do chimerage in honor of the gift, I do not want to go to my theurges for this. I wanted to go to you, you know me like no other, you know my dedication my loyalty and my pacients. I want to honor you in this request. *it was true he could have gone to his theurges to learn it, but it was not his style to skip out on honoring his totem or the chimerage he could offer in return.*
Sprits.... (Nov 20, 2011 11:56:41 PM)
*The Raven let out a loud caw and nestled down over her eggs* COme closer, Twist-the-Truth, come close and sit with me....*
Sprits.... (Nov 20, 2011 11:57:29 PM)
*The night outside grew very dark indeed when Dalton stepped into the nest - it was big enough for a dozen crows, though only the one perched there.* What do you offer me, Twists-the-Truth, for this gift? What do you bring Storm Crow for this unusual favor?
