A Raven

In the Illusionist's tent, a raven is walking across the sand. No one else seems to have noticed him. There's a golden glint in his black little eye.

Will you follow him?

Quick, before he merges with the shadows at the side of the tent.

Like the night sky

You slip out of your seat and glide over to the tent wall, where the bird's feathers glitter in the shadows. You step closer. The shadow shivers ever so slightly, and the sheen is gone. You bend down, and pick up a single feather. Blue and black together, like the night sky.

You now have 1 x Night-sky Feather

Wait where you are

Don't risk startling him.

Patterns in the sand

The raven's claws leave prints in the black-and-white sand, like scratchy runic writing. You watch as he vanishes into the shadows. At that moment, something brushes past your ear. A feather, inky and perfect, drifts into your lap.

You've gained 1 x Degree of Wariness

A stream of birds

The Illusionist is wearing a long ivory cloak over a midnight-black dress. She raises her arms, palms turned up to the canvas roof. Her cloak seems to shiver, then it fractures into a hundred scraps of white, birds leaping upwards as if startled by a farmer's gun. They fly in formation around the tent, dipping and swirling and changing direction, until finally the Illusionist calls them back with a gesture. They sink around her and she is cloaked once more. What just happened here? The tent is still filled with the whisper of their wings. The audience sits in silence for several seconds, uncertain of what they've seen. Then the applause crashes like a wave.
