Raven (of Old)’s emotional state throughout every season of Raven, including the specials and reboot.

Season one

Raven is light hearted. He enjoys his job of training young warriors.

Retroactively, with what happened in later seasons, this would be set when Nevar was still just a regular human who was a bit of a nuisance. Raven didn’t see him as a real threat. It was all fun and games. He and his friend Princess Erina stopped Nevar at every turn.

Season two to four

Nevar has stolen the Enchanted Oak, made his own Staff of Power, become corrupted by using it for evil and has started to take over Alaunus.

It’s no longer a game. Raven never loses his sense of humour but has become much more serious otherwise. He’s still training and testing the warriors to find the best of the best but now he has to fight to keep them safe from Nevar and the demons.

Raven: The Island

Nevar has completely taken over Alaunus. Raven can’t even land on his home without Nevar killing him. Raven is not happy. He’s angry, frustrated and homesick.

Princess Erina is still on Alaunus and he can’t help her in person. He has to trust that the warriors he sends will be able to do their job and hopefully not die. He hates sending them into danger and being unable to help them in any way.

Seasons five and six

Raven is back home and happy about it. After the events of Raven: The Island, he can fight back against Nevar and has starting to take back ground.

Raven: The Secret Temple

He’s a stressed bird. Alaunus is dying and he personally can’t break the spell. On top of everything else, Nevar has followed him to the East and is trying to kill him and the warriors again.

Raven be like, “Satyarani, my homeland is literally dying right now. You won’t let me try to get the Waters of Life because of the ‘only mortals can try’ rule but the warriors I brought are worthy. No one is going to use the Waters for evil. I don’t care what you say, some of your challenges are unfair. Can we please move this along so we can get the Waters and save everyone/thing on Alaunus from freezing to death!?”

Seasons seven and eight

Alaunus has been unfrozen, Raven is back to mostly winning against Nevar and is training warriors rather than having others test them. His life is still stressful but it’s just background noise by this point.

Raven: The Dragon’s Eye

“This is good! The warriors and I are actually here to help someone else for a change, rather than trying to save my home. I’m also making friends!”

“FUCK! Nevar is here and Ervan is not my friend.”

Seasons nine and ten

Back to regular training and life on Alaunus. Nevar is still around but Raven is coping okay (he's not, please give this man a hug and some therapy).

Reboot seasons

Honestly, this is the most relaxed Raven has been since season one. Yes, he’s stuck in a desolate realm, can’t get home and no longer has his Staff of Power but there’s a new Raven and he trusts her to do a good job.

The worst has already happened and this is officially someone else’s problem now. Raven will help where he can. However, he is fine with being more of a mentor figure to New Raven rather than being the one who has to deal with everything.

#CBBC Raven #Raven CBBC #Raven: The Island #Raven: The Secret Temple #Raven: The Dragon’s Eye #Nevar #Princess Erina #Satyarani #Ervan #This is dramatized and he’s rarely shown as that worried but this is what I’m going with #In all honesty though he does seem calmer in the reboot than he was in everything other than the first season #Raven throwing his staff and other Raven #HERE! Nevar is your problem now!#I’m going to chill is this desolate realm #This is my first day off ever #I was hoping for somewhere a bit nicer but at this point I’ll take anything

Wolf and Raven: Old Friends Chapter 7

First

Masterlist

tw dissociation not from character POV

---

Several minutes later a black dot appeared among the rainclouds, and Raven landed nearby. She shifted and started walking over briskly.

“Is everything alright? That was quite the message.”

“My apologies, I could not wait for Haryad,” Erina gestured to Wolf. “Do you have any idea of how to help?”

Raven looked at Wolf and her brow furrowed. “I have not seen this before.”

Erina and Satyarani looked at each other, concerned.

“What happened to cause this?” Raven walked over to Wolf, cautiously waving a hand in front of Wolf’s face, which got little reaction.

“She walked into the tent, and froze like that,” Satyarani shook her head. “Even if you do not know what happened, you might still be the best person to help her.”

“Aye,” Erina agreed. “I will brew some more potion of Dreamless Sleep.”

“I thank you,” Raven said before turning her attention to Wolf. “Can you hear me my friend?”

No response.

“That is fine. I will… I will wait with you,” Raven stood next to Wolf under the tree, staff planted into the ground and occasionally being dripped on. The rain continued to hammer down and the light faded, and still she waited.

A small campfire was crackling away fiercely by the time Wolf moved.

She turned her head slightly, confused.

“…What…?” dread and unease still curdled in her belly, and she sat down heavily. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted her staff in the ground, and stared at it like she couldn’t believe that it was there. She slowly reached her hand out, afraid that it would disappear.

Her hand touched warm wood, and she wrapped her hand around it, gripping it tight and pulling it closer.

“Wolf?”

Wolf startled and looked to her other side, seeing Raven.

“Raven! What, what are you doing here?”

“Erina called for me,” Raven slowly sat down. “She was worried about you. You, you were not here.”

The huff of disbelief faded as Wolf’s face furrowed.

“Aye. I was… I was not quite here. I… I do not know. I am sorry,” she pressed the heel of her palm against her forehead.

“I do not think you need to apologise, although Erina and Satyarani are both confused as to what caused it.”

“I do not think that I know,” Wolf rested her forehead on her free hand. “There was a smell, mud. The smell of mud, and I… I walked into the tent…”

Raven waited for Wolf to gather her thoughts.

“… I know why,” she sighed. “It was often muddy in Nevar’s camp, and I did not leave that tent for months,” Wolf growled under her breath. “First nightmares, then rope, then the potion not working and now this. I thought I was better than this!” she slammed her fist into the ground. “Why?! Why is this happening now?!”

“That I cannot answer.”

“I do not expect you to, my apologies,” Wolf looked out towards the Shadow Wood. “I am so tired Raven. I am tired of my mind turning against me, I am tired of not being the person I used to be. You never met that Wolf. She was confident, and bright. It felt as though nothing could touch her.”

“She is still you, merely changed, as we all do.”

“Aye, I suppose. Still I will ask, did the potion work for you last night?”

“…It did not,” Raven admitted.

“It did not work for me either. I may take a stronger dose tonight.”

“I believe Erina is brewing a fresh batch,” Raven nodded over to the small campfire, where Erina was indeed brewing in a small cauldron. “Perhaps I should ask her for some?”

“It will do no harm,” Wolf agreed. “I apologise for dragging you from your task to tend to me.”

“You need not apologise. I do not feel I did much, I merely waited to see if you would come back.”

“And I am grateful for that, truly,” Wolf’s eyes trailed north to a mountain just beyond the River of the Diving Bird. “My apologies, I do not think I can be around too many people tonight,” the idea of sharing a camp with Erina and Satyarani turned her stomach into knots.

“I heard wolf howls last night. Is there a pack nearby?”

“I know of a pack within the Forest of Dawn Time and another in Triple Thorn Wood. They travel though, they may be in their seasonal grounds.”

“But you know where they are?”

“Aye, but they do not remember me.”

“But they heard you last night?”

“…Aye.”

“Then go if you need. I will tell Erina and Satyarani.”

Wolf looked over at the other two, before looking back at Raven. She nodded briefly before shifting into a wolf, and with one more glance over her shoulder, she disappeared into Shadow Wood.

---

Satyarani watched Raven fly back to the west side of the island from underneath the tent. The rain was coming down harder than ever now, and Erina was holding her cloak over the pot she was brewing from.

After a while Erina took the pot off the fire and brought it inside the tent, where gentle steam wafted off it.

“All finished?” Saytarani asked.

“Almost. It needs to sit for three hours,” Erina found a small hourglass in her pack and turned it over. “I cannot give Raven any tonight, but I told her that she is free to collect some before we break camp tomorrow.”

“I see,” Satyarani sat properly in the tent, hanging the damp fur cloak from one of the tent poles. “It was interesting to see Wolf with Raven, even after all of that. It was the first time I have seen her relaxed.”

“Aye…” Erina sat down properly. “It, it does not require much thought to work out why.”

“You have been somewhat antagonistic,” Satyarani pointed out. “However you have calmed down this last day.”

“That is some relief,” Erina rubbed her eyes. “Lack of sleep has been affecting me as well, I do not have energy to start an argument… and… I am reminded of why Wolf and I were friends,” Erina lay her staff across her lap. “And I no longer think she is lying. That display earlier… I do not think that could be faked, not for as long as that.”

“Then you would be wise to tell her that.”

“That I will, that I will,” Erina looked out at the rain. “She should be back before morning.”

“I will trust your judgement on that matter, you know her better than I do.”

“I am not so certain of that. I know the old Wolf would be back before dawn. I cannot be quite so certain nowadays.”

“You are all different people, and people change.”

“Aye,” Erina looked over at Satyarani. “I must ask, you do not know anyone here. Why do you still aid us?”

“I knew Raven, Raven of Old,” Satyarani corrected. “He is a good man, and I am here to aid him. I will admit that this island has taken some getting used to, and the magic here is very different to that of my country. However, it does have its charm.”

“If this is successful then all of Alaunus would be in debt to you twice over.”

“Then I will know who to call should my homeland ever be in danger.”

“That is a deal I would be happy to make.”

“I do not find it likely anytime soon, but as I understand, you are not mortal.”

“I was not mortal since I carved my staff,” Erina lifted it slightly to make the point. “The magic of the Enchanted Oak can change you.”

“I see, so you were once mortal?”

“Aye.”

“Raven of Old I recall being born immortal, for he could not enter the Chamber of the Three-Headed Serpent, what of Wolf?”

“I am uncertain, though it is likely that she is the same. They are both unusual individuals. Their ability to change form is not confined to their Staffs of Power, it is an ability they possessed since birth, as far as we know,” Erina paused to think, “as for this new Raven, I cannot say for certain. I do not know of anyone who has passed on their staff and mantle in such a way before.”

“We will have to wait and see I suppose,” Satyarani drew a knee up and rested an arm on it. “I myself am fashioned from the earth of my homeland. I was never mortal.”

“I see. I do not think I have heard of such a thing before.”

“The world has many magics, many secrets. Your Cyrus seems like the kind of man who would wish to learn all of them.”

“Aye. I fancy if he could spend his life travelling and learning new magics, he would.”

“What is stopping him?”

“…I do not entirely know. I should ask him when we meet up again.”

“As long as he obeys the laws of my land, he will be welcome in my country.”

“Did Raven obey the laws of your land?”

“For the most part. He did strain against them at times, and lose his temper several times. His anger was understandable, but there are laws in my homeland that cannot be broken in order to retrieve the Elixir of Life.”

“I can imagine,” a fond smile crossed Erina’s face. “He was always somewhat impatient. And could have quite the temper when he felt that not enough was being done.”

“Indeed, that sounds about right. The Raven of now does seem much more patient.”

“Aye, that she is. I wonder if she feels as though she has to prove herself? I do hope that is not the case.”

“Raven of Old casts a long shadow. It will be difficult for her to step from it.”

“If she can free Raven of Old and keep Nevar in the desolate realm, she will certainly step from his shadow.”

“Indeed,” Satyarani looked outside the tent, watching the rain fall. Erina followed her gaze, and the two fell into companionable silence.

---

Hoo boy, still not certain about the dissociation, but there you go I guess. Some time away from people and with wolves will be good for her I think

Erina and Satyarani talk of immortality. I had to change this real quick since I rewatched a Secret Temple story compilation yesterday, which had some info I had forgotten. Including the fact that Raven of Old was born immortal. This is important because I have a whole thought dump on immortality in the Raven series and that did answer one of the questions I had. I just had to separate Erina's thoughts from my own.It's mostly that Secret Temple often uses the term 'born mortal', implying that Raven of Old is not, but Nevar is, and I would assume Erina is too, which leads to the idea that possession of a Staff of Power can make you immortal, but then there's the whole of using it for evil taking time off your life and if that's the case how is Nevar still alive, what decides what is an evil deed? Is that why Raven of Old will not attack dishonourably, because it might be deemed evil by, something? And where in bloody hell do the Warriors with Staffs fit into this?! I was talking about this with my beta writer @fairyofsomething and honestly, I had thought that having a Staff of Power made you a sorcerer (to use DnD terms), but now it seems more like a warlock thing! Still, I have thoughts, that will be organised, somewhat, and put separately somewhere. Since you know, I'm overthinking a children's game show that might not have had as much thought put in.

Planning to buy a flat in Sonarpur? Check these nature-inspired indoor decor themes

Buying a flat or property involves a lot of planning and decision making. From financial decisions to home decor, you are required to keep all the possible points in mind before making a decision.

Over the past few years, Kolkata and its surrounding locations have seen a surge in the number of home buyers. This is due to the increasing number of residential complexes in and around the city. One such area with increasing real estate demand is Sonarpur. It is one of the most sought-after residential locations for many home buyers.

If you are planning to buy a flat in Sonarpur, here is a useful read for you.

What makes Sonarpur the most-sought after residential location?

Well-connected: The area is well-connected by EM Bypass, NSC Bose Road and the operational Blue Line metro.

Presence of renowned schools and hospitals: Prominent schools such as Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya and St. Stephen’s School is located in the area. A few of the well-known hospitals, including Future Oncology Hospital and Research Institute and Satyarani Nursing Home are present in the area.

Presence of upscale residential flats: The area also houses many residential complexes that have all the modern amenities. For instance, Ideal Aurum by Ideal Group is the largest residential complex located in Sonarpur. The complex offers various modern amenities, including, a well-equipped gym, multiple swimming pools and a banquet hall with a lawn. If you are looking to decorate your home with nature- inspired decor theme, check these insights:

Natural style living room: Buy living room furniture pieces that are made of natural materials. For instance, you can add rattan trunks or seagrass tables. Put a jute rug to add natural texture to the room.

Nature-themed bedrooms: Instill a natural mood in your bedroom. Put botanical shade curtains with a white sheet on the bed. Complement the bedroom design by putting some indoor plants near the window on a wooden stand. You can also consider hanging a wall mural over the headboard.

Nature-inspired dining room: To give an organic touch to the dining room, add well-furnished wooden shelves, tables and chairs. Decorate the centrepiece of your dining table with natural elements, such as pine cones, pieces of driftwood and mossy rocks. Elevate your dining table look with nature-inspired table runners and mats.

Window gardens: Have a window garden in the kitchen. From indoor plants to herbs, the garden will add a natural vibe to the kitchen.

Lighting in a botanical decor: Lighting can create the right ambience in any space. When it comes to nature-themed decor, choose bamboo or pendant lamps to give a natural look to the interiors.

Looking for a flat in Sonarpur?

However, nothing beats living amidst nature. So, if you are planning to buy a flat in Sonarpur, you can consider buying Ideal Aurum as it is situated away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Sheba Chhachhi is an avowed feminist, a renowned photographer and an installation artist. Over the past 37 years, she has trained her camera on anti-dowry protests, worked with the publisher Urvashi Butalia to stage her portrait (shown at the Tate Modern in the UK), developed a series which looks at ecological violence from a feminist point of view and, most recently, showed a large-scale kinetic sculpture called Temporal Twist on the 70 years since Partition.

“People tend to think that feminism is only about women, whereas I think it’s a political philosophy which looks at relations of power in multiple contexts,” Chhachhi said in a phone interview from Bengaluru.

On February 22, a few weeks before International Women’s Day on March 8, Chhachhi launched the book ARC SILT DIVE – The works of Sheba Chhachhi, in Bengaluru. Edited by feminist theoretician and activist Kumkum Sangari, Arc Silt Dive contains photographs of installations and video works by Chhachhi, as well as essays which examine various ways to read her works – including her series on female ascetics, who are divested of their sexuality and yet not considered on a par with male monks.

Many of Chhachhi’s images from the women’s movement in the 1980s and 1990s have become iconic. For example, her photographs of Satyarani Chadha and Shahjehan Apa, whose daughters were murdered for dowry and both of whom became active in the contemporary women’s movement from the late 1970s. These images are included in the book as part of a 2012 installation, Record/Resist, in which Chhacchi reflects on her archive of images of women’s protests as well as staged portraits of activists...

Group C Round 2

[image ID: the first image is of Satyarani, and Indian woman with long brown hair, wearing an orange top, and gold jewelry on her forehead, ears, and neck. the second image is of Bamba, a Japanese man with short black hair, wearing a white long sleeve shirt with black patterns on the collar and v-neck, a black vest and arm braces, and a black strap around his wrist with an object on it resembling a dinosaur head. end ID]

Satyarani

Bamba

First, let's get it out of the way, he's one of the most attractive men I've ever seen in my life. Second, he's an excellent swordsman who is dedicated to his craft and to his mission. He cares about his friends, and fights alongside his brother and the other Ryusoulgers against evil. He's quite stoic most of the time and is rarely open but sometimes can be seen smiling or talking about his experiences. At first, he had a difficult time dealing with working with the other Ryusoulgers, as their views on how the battle should be fought differed greatly but over time they became great friends who depended on one another and had each other's backs. Bamba, like most the other Ryusoulgers, is over 200 years old, and one of his arcs talks about how he had a lover who was human decades ago whom he had to leave behind. When he meets her again she is an elder and doesn't recognize him, but claims he reminds her of a man she once knew. She says the man she knew back then had loneliness in his eyes and Bamba doesn't (at a point where he's accepting the Ryusoulgers). I think the concept of watching your loved ones age and draw closer to death, while you age slowly can be such an interesting subject, and I think it was handled really well here. They had their time and moved on, and their part of each other's lives no matter the length. [additional propaganda 1] [additional propaganda 2]

It’s probably safe to say any submission of a character from a gameshow was from me. I submitted at least 6.

Also I am both surprised and ecstatic that Satyarani has made it this far. I’ve never managed to get a character past round 1 before, and I’m really glad it’s her. She’s so badass!!!

She seems really cool!!

Alys and Satyarani are both my blorbos and you put them head to head! How can I choose?(Melodramatic). Seriously though, I’m actually quite happy about this because it means one of them will definitely make it to round 2! Thanks for running this tournament, I’ll be making propaganda!

It was randomized, so blame fate. Yes I'm looking forward to seeing more propaganda!!!

Wolf and Raven: Old Friends Chapter 18 (Final)

First

Masterlist

She returned to the camp before dark, as Cyrus had asked. Raven of Old and Erina had returned from their trip to the Fortress and were still deep in conversation. Catching up for lost time. Haryad floated above the two, adding his thoughts every now and again.

Raven was speaking with Cyrus, and Satyarani was sitting peacefully by the campfire.

“Did you visit pleasant places?” Satyarani asked Wolf as she entered the camp.

“Aye. I thank you for pushing me to do so.”

“You have spent enough of this quest dwelling on negative memories, you should allow yourself some happiness.”

“I will try,” Wolf glanced at Raven.

Satyarani inclined her head before looking over at Raven of Old and Erina. “I would suggest you speak with Erina sooner rather than later.”

“I was raised better than to interrupt a conversation.”

“You may have to. At best you have three days, and they may continue to catch up for the rest of that time.”

“…They will have to stop to sleep at some point.”

“We may but hope,” Satyarani smirked.

Wolf sat down by the fire, poked a few of the logs with a stick before gently falling backwards to lie on her back. The stars were just beginning to appear in the sky above.

She was not quite as at peace as she had been in the Enchanted Oak’s grove, but there was some peace.

She heard someone approach and set something by her head.

“I know you are not asleep,” Erina commented.

“I never pretended otherwise,” Wolf tilted her head to see what Erina had dropped by her head. Sitting in the grass was a tankard with a metal wolf’s head in the middle.

“…Did you retrieve this?” Wolf sat up and picked up the tankard.

“Aye. We took our time around the Fortress, and we found this in the old dining hall. Consider it an apology for my behaviour yesterday.”

Wolf froze before returning to turning over tankard. “It was a stressful time yesterday.”

“It did not excuse my behaviour. I am not blind Wolf, I saw the look on your face.”

“Ah, so that is the reason,” Wolf half smirked. “Still, I thank you for retrieving this.”

“My pleasure,” Erina looked like she was going to walk away, and Wolf realised she needed to grab her while she still had her.

“Erina.”

“Yes?” she turned back.

“Does the previous arrangement still stand? That I will leave in 3 days from now?”

Erina’s face creased in confusion, before widening when she remembered.

“Oh, oh, my apologies, that had slipped my mind. Of course that requirement is lifted. You are no longer exiled from Alaunus. No hidden clauses, stipulations, or time limits.”

There was no true magic in those words, no light, no sparks, yet they felt like magic. Wolf nodded slowly, unable to stop the smile that was pushing onto her face. She was welcome on Alaunus. She was welcome on Alaunus.

She was still grinning when Raven came to sit next to her.

“You appear very pleased by something,” she commented.

“I’m welcome on Alaunus,” Wolf half whispered, as though if she said it too loud it would all disappear. “I am no longer exiled.”

Raven also smiled. “I am pleased to hear it. Will you be staying?”

The good mood faded for a moment. “I think not. I do need to return north, but I will be able to return to the land of birth whenever I wish, and that is enough. And perhaps I will seek out people I used to know on the mainland.”

“I would be happy to aid you in that.”

“And I thank you my friend.”

---

Wolf did not sleep much that night. Not out of fear of nightmares, but instead she was filled with a bubbling energy that made her want to dance and laugh. Just sitting by the fire she felt her legs bounce, even when she turned to whittling to curb the energy.

This was the first time in a long time that whittling had not focused errant energy, yet Wolf found that she didn’t mind.

She got at least some sleep that night, yet found herself awake at dawn. Looking at Raven, Wolf found herself having an idea, and waited impatiently for her to wake up.

“Raven,” Wolf hovered close as Raven stood up, stretching.

“Yes Wolf?”

“There is somewhere I would like to show you, if you wish.”

Raven tilted her head slightly. “Of course.”

“Shall we depart now, or do you need to wake up more?”

“You have been bouncing with energy since last night Wolf, I fear if I wait much longer you might explode,” Raven smiled and stood up. “Let us go.”

Wolf beamed right back before creating a portal. The two stepped through onto the shore of a loch.

“This Lochan Caer,” Wolf introduced. “And this is not quite our final stop. Come come!”

Raven followed Wolf as she darted along the shore, looking for something specific.

“It should still be here…” Wolf cast around, “here!”

She darted across the grass towards a small rock half buried in the ground. She had to dig around it before she could lift it up.

Underneath was fishing supplies, or what was left of them. Time had not been kind to them, the line was frayed and the net had broken or been nibbled on. What was left of the bait had long since rotted or been eaten.

“Ah. I suppose I had let my hopes get a little high,” she gently lowered the rock back down.

“What is down there?” Raven leaned over her shoulder.

“Some old fishing supplies,” Wolf turned back to her. “They are no longer functional, which is a shame.”

“…Were you intending that we go fishing?”

“That was a possibility. I wanted to show you this place.”

Raven slowly turned to look at the scenery. “It is a lovely place. I assume this place has some significance to you?”

“Lowf and I used to come here. We would fish or swim and make a campfire. It was not always the two of us, but it often was.”

“You must have many memories on this island, I have not had a chance to ask.”

“I do, most of them are bittersweet now. My old home has not been touched in some time, the watchtowers I oversaw are in ruin. I have not even looked at the Fortress, and I am not certain that I wish to.”

“Then where did you go yesterday? Cyrus told them that you left upset, but when you came back, you were almost content,” Raven sat on the rock hiding the fishing supplies, and after a moment Wolf joined her, the wind tugging at their hair.

“I went to see where I was captured. I would most likely have moved onto where I was held without Satyarani’s intervention. She has been very patient with me this entire quest, but then admonished me, asking me what was the point of dwelling on these memories. And I will admit, I finally no longer feel the need to do so. I will most likely fall into old habits, but I can work on that.”

“I am glad that she was able to help you. Was it last night that helped? You seemed more full of energy and cheer than I had ever seen you.”

“Aye, it was. I feel more at peace, and I was not aware of how much that was needed.”

“I am glad for you my friend,” Raven rested a hand on Wolf’s shoulder.

“I thank you,” Wolf gave a lopsided smile before turning to her staff. Her brow creased with an idea, and closing her eyes she placed her staff into the ground.

Raven startled as ghostly blue images sprung into life. A tall man with broad shoulders walked towards the shore, a squirming child half sitting on those shoulders, half trying to climb down his back.

He walked into the water up to about his calves before unceremoniously grabbing the child and dropping them in the water.

The ghost emitted no noise, but Raven could almost hear the indignant shriek and the following laughter.

Another ghost, the same broad-shouldered man with thick curly hair sat by a campfire with who Raven now recognised as a young Wolf. She wore her hair loose here and was easily in the youngest age bracket of some her Warriors. Here she was talking and whittling at the same time, and Raven winced as she nicked a finger, but the younger Wolf did not seem to notice.

There were a few more ghosts, some swimming, some fishing. A handful were on the island in the loch. They slowly faded until one was left. The same man as before, perhaps a little older, and Wolf, with a cloak and Staff. The two of them hugged, and the last pair of ghosts faded.

Wolf opened her eyes and Raven looked over at her. Wolf’s face was blank, but oddly peaceful.

“Was that the last time you saw him, Lowf?” it did not take much for Raven to guess who that had been.

“Aye. The Battle of Bryn Brahan was two days later. And a few days after that I was a prisoner,” Wolf huffed and leaned back a bit. “I am already returning to old habits! It was good to see him then.”

Wolf shifted and sat up a little straighter. “Listen to me, I have only ever spoken of myself. How are you feeling Raven? We did not get the chance to talk much yesterday.”

“I am well, the Warriors have safely returned to the mainland and I have been catching up on some much needed sleep,” Raven looked out towards the loch, and let the wind out of her sails. “May I confess something to you?”

“Of course.”

“I have not had much of a chance to speak with Raven of Old, and now that he is returned…” Raven struggled with the words. “I feel as though I am no longer needed, and yet,” she lifted her staff to make the point. “Am I to be forever within his shadow?”

“I would think not,” Wolf considered for a moment. “While the world is certainly richer to have Raven of Old in it, it would be far poorer if you were not. You have done great things. You came to the aid of a stranger, you organised this quest, you made it so that Raven of Old could return. You ran into that portal without even thinking in order to aid him. And that is what I know you have done, doubtless you have many other great deeds to your name!”

Wolf paused for breath. “Without you many of us would not be here. Even the act of reaching out to Satyarani is impressive; to know that Raven of Old had such an ally and where to look is a feat in of itself.”

Raven had gone rather pink. “Wolf… I fear you are exaggerating, my friend.”

“Am I? Or am I embarrassing you, my friend?” Wolf gently nudged Raven in the shoulder, who after a moment, nudged back.

“Both.”

“Raven, I assure you that I am not exaggerating, and many more great deeds lie in your future.”

“…Thank you,” Raven allowed herself a smile. “That does not quite alleviate all of the concerns I admit, but it is an excellent start,” she looked at the staff again. “I am Raven now, but of course, I was not always Raven. It is almost a title if I am honest.”

“I had assumed as such.”

“…Would you like to know my name from before I was called Raven?”

“Only if you are comfortable sharing.”

Raven did not speak for a full minute, before quietly muttering the name. Wolf could only just hear it over the breeze coming off the loch, but hear it she did.

“I am honoured that you shared that with me.”

“I have not heard the name is some time,” Raven shifted her shoulders, much like a bird. “Was there anything else you wished to do?”

“My only other thought was to explore Alaunus in our other forms, and if you find somewhere interesting I could tell you about it.”

“Cyrus informed me of a great deal of the Island’s history, but I have not seen the eastern side yet.”

Wolf’s eyes gleamed. “Then let us be off.”

---

Well, here we are! This has been a ride to do and I enjoyed going into it. As always, I have some thoughts on the project

Part of me did consider continuing from here, this was not the intended end point, but Wolf is just so happy here, so it felt good to end on this point.

Next, Raven's name. The name itself is not important, the act of sharing it is the important thing here. I see Raven as more of a title in this case, but it's one that gets used a lot for her. That said I'm quite fond of Arven for Raven's name. Headcanon more than anything else. Now, the elephant in the room, at least I think. Wolf and Raven's relationship. While not explored greatly in this story I still have thoughts. The relationship between Wolf and Raven was always intended to be platonic, even the original version back when I was a teenager. Yet I can see the relationship becoming romantic, and I know I'm not the only one, and this is frustrating. Part of me does want to keep going down that track, see where it goes, the other part is fully aware that if I was a reader and a close platonic relationship turned romantic, I would be livid.So, I'm opening this one up to you guys. What do you think? I make no guarantees on successfully writing (especially as my brain's been jumping around to writing other ideas in other fandoms) but I do honestly want to know what you think. And I'm afraid 'it's your story, do what you want' is not going to be helpful, even though I understand the intent.

With that, next on my agenda is stories going forward. I do not think I will be doing a full story with Wolf again, but I do have shorts from Wolf's past and future, and an idea that was cut but still written out that I would like to share, as well as bits of the universe I want to explore but not write a full length story for. So a One Shot series may come about. My posting schedule for that is not as strict, a one shot will come out whenever it's ready, multishots will stick to the Monday/Thursday schedule. It will mostly depend on my motivation, so those kinds of updates would be sporadic to say the least.

I have started writing Old Friends but from Raven's perspective, admittedly haven't gotten far. I have also had thoughts about writing the OG version of Wolf and Raven, with Raven of Old, with some ideas that would have been cool to include in the one I originally posted, if only I had thought of them in time.

There are no promises on my finishing those by the way, I just thought you guys might be interested. Finally, some music

Curses by the Crane Wives is one I have a full mental AMV for

My R by KurageP (annapatsu cover) is another one I kinda have an AMV for. Listen to that song at your own discretion, it's a heavy song with themes of suicide. I have it so that all the different people are just Wolf at different ages. (Trust me Not) Hero and Villain duet by TheCrazyPanda on Youtube. The mental AMV is an entirely non canon sequence where Raven of Old goes to see Wolf earlier in her exile

Ordinary cover by annapatsu. I partially blame me listening to this on loop for influencing Wolf's and Raven's relationship to lean romantic

St Bernard by Lincoln. No real thoughts on that one, just a few lines of not. “I’m in Ohio, satanic and chained up. And until the end, that’s how it’ll be”

Just, the image of Wolf, bleeding in the tent in Nevar’s camp, and fading from a side image of Wolf’s new injury to a much older Wolf with the scar.

I would like to thank my beta reader @fairyofsomething for always being enthusiastic and being willing to listen to me ramble.

And I believe that's it. Hopefully it won't take another two years for me to be heard from again!
