Suddenly a claw-foot reached out of a shadow which seemed to be cast by nothing in particular, it was then followed by the body of a light armored man who had the head of a black feathered crow, in his hand was a blade which seemed to "Glow" with darkness. A second but shorter one stepped out of a dark alley and one appeared in the room behind him. One opened its beak and spoke... it was the dark voice that had been speaking. "We would like to appologize, our master was trying to use us to speak to you in a more civilized manner and we took his commands incorrectly... The crow-men sheithed their dark blades and bent their knees and bowed. "He honors the presence of the Aes Sedai motherlord... And would be happy to-" one of the crows suddenly began to scowl... "An aes sedai killd my mother... YOU FILTH!" he unsheithed his blade and the air filled with a loud "whoosh" in a few seconds time and with a loud squak and a crashing noise, it was apparent that the commander atop the building had thrown down his double-sided haliberd and skewered the uncompliant beast, splitting its head in two. The creatures dark blade fell to the ground before Darun. The creature faded into shadow and disaperated. "Our master would like to appologize for his actions as well... He may not be very intelligent, but he is wise beyond his years, we request that you ally with him for this task..." The crows then dissapeared leaving the dark blade where it lay. It continued to glow with a great almos-dark-violet shaded light.
