At the exact same moment that Ichabode recognized Voluspa, a multitude of synaptic explosions started going off in his head. In his mind’s eye, hundreds of horrific images started to flash before him, accompanied by a very high-pitched, ethereal-sounding squeal like something from a mind-bending psychedelic movie. Ichabode started shaking violently, and as the group watched with horror, his eyes rolled to the back of his head, his mouth opened wide, and then his body convulsed, flinging him off of the sofa and onto the floor.
Khonsu rushed to stop the film and turn on the lights, while Kassandra and Akasha rushed to Ichabode’s assistance. They were successful in stabilizing him, as Kassandra’s medical training helped him through a very terrible seizure that was triggered by the film.
As all of this unfolded inside Ichabode’s apartment, on the balcony ledge outside stood a big black crow witnessing it all.
Through the darkened skies it flies,
A messenger in disguise,                                                                                       
A crow with a mission to fulfill,
A message only the witch can distill.
Through storm and strife it makes its way,
A perilous journey, night and day,
To deliver the news it bears,
Whispered secrets, hopes, and fears.
The witch awaits with knowing eyes,
She sees the crow’s hidden cries,
For in its caw and piercing stare,
Lies a message beyond compare.
A tale of magic, mystery, and might,
A bond between crow and witch takes flight,
In the shadows, under the moon’s glow,
A message sent by a crow, only they know.
