No, no, no. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. Tor wasn't supposed to leave so soon. "TOR!" Why did it sound like the waves at high tide were in her ears? Lily's legs felt like rocks as they raced over to the ice cold fallen body of her friend. "No, no, no. Tor." That's when lily heard the soft caw of a bird. A raven. Turning towards the noise, they saw it. A small raven, smaller than a raven should be, tangled up in some seaweed. She raced over. "Oh, do you need some help?" Careful, Dew helped untangle the little bird. "There you go, all better." Lily grinned as the raven hopped from foot to foot, testing her new freedom. "Well, you're all better. Why do you go find your family?" Turning away from the bird, they started to walk back to camp. Only to realize that the bird was following her. "Baby, you need to go find your family." The bird stubbornly refused to leave. "Alright then, if you want to stay with me, you need a name." Dew sat down in front of the bird and thought before whispering. "Nevermore. Because this will never happen anymore." Smiling, Dew stood and walked back to camp, lilies new friend close behind. "I wonder how Shy will feel about you." They wondered. "Well, you're not going anywhere, that's for sure."
When I saw the comment saying that Tor had passed, I cried. I am not kidding, I truly cried. So this is for him. We loved you, buddy. You had a lot going for you, and Sunny will never forget you. She kind of can't, see as you're their Dark Forest mentor. Nevermore is the corvid companion, a northern raven.
