A dark cloud appeared, like a breath of corruption, exuding dread: they had hearts black as their wings, and spoke to one another of their fell mission…

“So, what are we supposed to be doing?”
“You asked that five minutes ago!”
“Would you two stop bickering? I can hardly hear myself thinking.”
“Because you ain’t!”
“Grah! If all of you don’t pipe down…”
“Who put you in charge, you ninny?”
“Shut up and start looking!”

Far below, a raven watched the gang of crebain flying madly past, glanced at the people huddled in the bushes, and cawed softly in disdain.

*snerk* That's fantastic! What a take on the crebain! *giggles madly* Ineffective indeed.

If crebain are anything like ordinary crows, I can see stuff like that happening left and right. :p Thanks, and I'm pleased that you found this giggle-worthy!
