Background[ | ]
As you near, you feel a vibrant history contained in the essence of this man's soul. Voices from its past seem to call out to you.
You see a small murder of crows gathered on a dirt path that cuts through some dry farmland. They follow this orlan, who is slowly making his way down the path. They sometimes hop, sometimes fly, gliding after him, but always staying behind. Occasionally one will alight briefly on his shoulder only to quickly take to wing again and rejoin its kin.
As he nears a small village, a crow lands on his shoulder and begins cawing excitedly. The orlan smiles and nods as if agreeing. He takes a small crumb of bread from a pocket in his cloak and gives it to the crow who grabs it in its beak and flies a small distance away to eat its prize in peace. Small children, drawn by the noise made by the crow, rush out to see who the approaching stranger could be.
When he has a sufficient audience, the orlan lifts both arms out at his sides and, as if they have been trained, the crows flock to him, landing on his hands and arms. They rock, cawing almost in unison, as he stands there quietly humming a lively tune.
He looks at the children and begins to tell them strange facts. He tells them of the different caws a crow can make, and what they mean. He tells them of the pecking order, of crow kings and queens long past and the times of their reigns. He does this for some time, all the while with his arms bearing the weight of a half dozen crows.
At length his arms seem to tire, and he drops them again and the crows take flight, spiraling up over his head and then glide off in all directions, a black feathery tornado dissipating in the fading daylight. The children's delighted screams echo down the road as they run back toward town. The orlan stands alone on the road, watching his crows disappear in the distance.
