̶F̶o̶r̶m̶e̶r̶ 8th Talon.
We are the sword in the shadows.
We are the bitter taste in the last cup.
We fly proudly over those who failed and fell.
We are House Arainai, and we are Antivan Crows.

Another expected outcome. Perhaps I shouldn’t bother with these games, if they’re only going to tell me what I already know.

Viago gave the box to the messenger with a grave expression. "Do not open it, and do not dare deliver it yourself. Pass it along to a local courier once you arrive and head back to Treviso at once. Is that clear?"+

Villa Sole Nascente glows like a beacon from its place on the cliffs overlooking the Rialto bay. The dining hall, foyer, and front gardens have been fully restored, and though much work yet remains, the Talon of House Arainai has opened the villa’s doors to all under his wing to celebrate.

The breezy night is cut through by a shrill but brief wail. A shadowy figure sprints across the rooftops, away from the source of the screams, as fast as their feet can carry them.
They do not look back. They do not falter. They do not stop even for a shaking breath until they reach a building…

A letter from House Arainai arrives on the desk of the Fourth Talon. The Crow from House Garcya who delivered it into Carmen’s hands is notably absent for several days afterward.
Eyes from other houses report its contents back to their superiors, sharing suspicions of a cipher.
As expected.

![[[A letter from Salvador to the Fourth Talon, Carmen Garcya. Several letters throughout are bolded.]]
Mia cara Carmen,
I’m afraid a reunion will have to wait for the time being. I know I promised a get-together in my last letter, but circumstances have sadly changed. We are on the cusp of something new and exciting. Despite the grumblings of our fellow Talons, Antiva has never been more vulnerable, and ignoring the evidence before our eyes can only hold us back.
I’m quite sure you’ve heard all about our new First Talon’s theatrics. Bonding with a demon has truly made Lucanis Dellamorte believe he is untouchable—a fearsome devil we mere mortals ought to cower before. You know better than anyone, Carmen, my thoughts on the juvenile actions of his cousin. And yet I find myself almost wishing Illario had succeeded.
Almost, of course, and only ever briefly. Handing the Crows over to the likes of the Venatori—querulous, sanctimonious cultists fumbling around like three-legged brontos to barely accomplish anything—would have been the end of the Crows.
Regardless, I cannot sit by and let his affront to my House stand. Crows do not cower, as he ought to know. And besides the matter of honor, you and I see the bigger picture. Antiva is only as strong as the Crows guarding her, and we cannot keep her safe with that abomination leading us.
I do hope the coming storm does not touch your shores, Carmelita. But if it must, know you will always be able to count on me.
Yours,
Salvador Arainai

[A single rather plain envelope, carrying a rather plain parchment found its way to @onceandfuturetalon.bsky.social baring the penmanship of the Third Talon but no other markers of where it came from.]

The sounds of hammers, saws, and the grunting of workers fill the villa, floating through the open study door and up through the balcony overlooking Rialto Bay.
A cacophony of impending change, ringing in a new era of the Crows’ history.

A messenger crow departs Villa Dellamorte in the early morning, bearing an anklet scroll and a light wooden box.
It arrives intact to one Salvador Arainai, carried the rest of the way by a grim-faced servant who should not have looked in that box.
It was, after all, full of severed tongues.
