You hit the cobblestone path leading to Crow Academy, wind biting at your jacket and tossing black feathers across the ground. Up ahead, the towers stretch into the gray sky, their spires jagged and intimidating, and somewhere above, a flock of crows bursts into the air, wings slicing through the clouds. You don’t need anyone to tell you how this place works—power here isn’t about grades or charm, it’s about the birds. The more crows you have, the more people notice you. The more loyal they are to you, the more the world bends in your favor.
Every student around you has their own flock. Some are small and quick, impossible to track until they strike. Others are massive, with eyes that look like they see straight into your mind. A single crow can fetch a key, spy on someone, or deliver a message. A swarm? They can wreck plans, stir up chaos, even manipulate people who think they’re untouchable. And the closer your bond with them, the more they’ll do for you—loyalty isn’t just about following, it’s about anticipating, acting without being told, bending their cunning to your will.
As you step through the gates, the crows overhead caw in sync, like they’re talking. Are they greeting you? Testing you? Doesn’t matter. Every glance, every twitch, every tiny motion is noticed. This is Crow Academy. Alliances are fragile, power is fleeting, and one wrong move can leave you stranded. But those crows—if you can earn their trust—they’ll do more than just watch your back. They’ll make the impossible happen.
Today’s the start of your bond. Every choice, every move, every little feathered shadow counts. In this place, the sky isn’t empty. It’s waiting. And if you can control it, you can control everything underneath.
