A depiction of the “Poisoned Crows”

 

 

Introduction

 

An odd phenomenon has struck Providence as of recent. Over the past few months, birds - specifically crows - have been falling from the sky onto the pavement. This missive is made as a means to explain our research into this problem and to raise awareness about such an issue. 

 

 

Instances

 

The first instance of this was one that I alone witnessed. A bird crashed onto the pavement before my own eyes, neck contorted at odd angles, and eyes glassy and white as if it had stared death directly in the face. The bird was dark as a crow should be, but it was unnaturally so, as there were black veins running across its entire body.

 

The second and most recent instance of these “Poisoned Crows” as I have dubbed them was just a few days ago. I sat in the tavern when I heard a loud crash from outside, and then soon the sound of a crowd gasping. I rushed outside to see a number of the crows dead on the pavement, all but one in the same spot as the first instance, though it seems one lone bird missed its mark. These birds were even more grotesque than the first ones, as their wings were contorted, necks snapped, and eyes having the same look of death imprinted into them. In total, there were five that hit the pavement.

 

Research

 

Myself and a man by the name of Lazarus secured a few bodies of these birds and took them to a nearby lab to research them, where we then cut into them. As the blade made first contact with their flesh, a vile and awful smelling liquid flowed freely from the bird’s veins. This liquid - or tainted blood as I theorize - could only be described as a miasmic ichor created by unnatural forces that smells of death itself. 

 

Inside of the chest cavity of the crow was where we found some odd discoveries. When the organs were touched and interacted with, they quickly melted into whatever ichor flowed throughout the rest of the bird. After this, another incision revealed a “core” to the creature, an orb seemingly made out of an ashy material, though it quickly disintegrated into nothingness.

 

 

Request

 

If anyone knows any information about these birds, or about who to contact to gain more information, I do request that you send me a bird. I look forward to learning more about these poisoned crows, and I hope you are more conscious of them after reading this. I also wish to know if this has been happening in any other city or nation. 

 

Author’s Note

 

While I’m aware that this isn’t like the other papers I’ve written, I felt that it was needed to shed some light on some current events of our world. If you have information please send a bird to my palace office or to myself.

"Must be those melding druids or something wild! Most likely some angry powerful person flaunting power from above or whatever."  Alyssa Seregon commented  with an annoyed tone, taking a deep sigh, while drinking their warm lemon tea, while also having a small bite from a freshly made piece of chocolate cake. After a few seconds, the Seregon would go to a calendar, sent a pin down on a random date, so she could talk with her brother about these strange events happening in the world.
