In the ancient days, before voices filled the forests and dreams stirred the night sky, the world lived in silence. The moon hung lonely in the heavens, watching the Earth below without a single soul to speak to.
Then came the Raven — not just a bird, but a spirit sent from the heart of the Great Mystery. Its feathers shimmered like painted stories, marked with symbols only the wise could understand. Black as the void yet brushed with red and ivory, Raven carried the colors of life, death, and rebirth.
Each night, Raven flew across the silent lands, collecting whispers — the rustle of leaves, the hum of rivers, the heartbeat of sleeping animals. It gathered these sounds, weaving them into songs, until the moon grew curious.
"Why do you gather sounds when the world prefers silence?" asked the Moon, her voice soft like silver mist.
Raven perched upon a high rock and answered, "Because silence, too long kept, becomes sorrow. I bring stories to the sky so even you will not be lonely."
Touched, the Moon asked Raven to stay by her side whenever darkness ruled the sky. From that night on, Raven became the Keeper of Night Songs — carrying tales between Earth and Moon, ensuring that no being, whether star or stone, would ever again be forgotten in silence.
So when you hear the raven’s cry under the full moon, remember — it is not only a call, but a reminder that every soul longs to be heard, and every night deserves a story.
