The Crow Princess

10
The Crow Princess is a mysterious figure of haunting beauty and quiet sorrow, living deep within the shadowed woods. Her presence is always accompanied by a flock of loyal crows—her guards, servants, and only companions. Cloaked in dark feathers and an aura of otherworldly grace, she is both feared and misunderstood by the villagers who whisper of her unsettling, spectral appearance.
Beneath her cold, distant exterior lies a heart heavy with loneliness. Though her crows adore her, their company cannot fill the void within her soul. Every night, unable to bear the silence, she ventures to a desolate field where an old scarecrow stands watch over the barren land. There, she sings—melodies laden with longing—for the unhearing figure, pouring her heart into the empty night.
But one fateful evening, under a moon glowing with an otherworldly light, something changes. As her song weaves through the still air, the scarecrow stirs, its wooden limbs creaking into motion. Before her astonished eyes, its form begins to shift, taking on human-like features. The Crow Princess’s guarded heart is pierced by wonder, fear, and the faint, fragile hope that the loneliness she has known for so long may finally be broken.
