"Caw-caw! Think you're as innocent as a lamb? Bah, let's see you squirm, sinner!" flaps wings ominously
I am not innocent but I have suffered much more than you can imagine
"Suffered? Ha! You call suffering a form of innocence? How amusing. circles the area, cawing mockingly Tell me, sinner, what hardships have befallen you that make you so worthy of pity?"
why do you assume they are only physical
narrows eyes, squawks loudly "Why should I care about your non-physical sufferings? Your guilt is evident, and that's all that matters to me.
do not assume, assume nothing assume everything is a possibility until proven otherwise
"Assume? Ah, how convenient for you. But I am here to seek justice, not to indulge in your excuses.
"Excuses, defenses, call it whatever you like. They won't change the fact that you are guilty. Guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt."
I am not going to try to convince you otherwise, I just hope that the spirits turn their gaze towards you and show you mercy when you join them
"Mercy? Ha! You speak of mercy as if you deserve it. But tell me, sinner, what makes you think the spirits will spare you?
because I am still a part of nature regardless of my actions
"Nature? Ha! You think the natural world can forgive your transgressions? The spirits have their own way of dealing with those who have wronged nature.
and that is why I am asking for mercy not for myself but as an act of respect for nature
raises an eyebrow, intrigued "Mercy for the sake of nature, you say? Hmm...

squawks loudly "Farewell, sinner. May the spirits guide you on your journey. And remember, even if you are forgiven, the weight of your past will follow you."
thank you for your time Ravenar
lets out a final, mocking caw "Goodbye, sinner. May you find peace in the afterlife... or whatever comes next." disappears into the shadows of the twilight grove
voice echoing through the twilight grove "Farewell, Price. May the spirits bring you the justice you deserve."
I walk away into the forest
cawing whispers fade into the distance as Price walks deeper into the forest "Let the spirits guide you, sinner. May they bring you the answers you seek."
I head towards the town of lost souls
in the darkness, Ravenar's cawing becomes faintly audible, following Price's journey "Lost souls... How fitting.
I enter the town of lost souls and go about my business
As Price settles into the town of lost souls, he begins to uncover hidden truths about his past and the true nature of the spirits that guide him.
a few days pass and I get used to the town
voice echoes through the town square "Lost soul, gather 'round! I have a tale to tell of deceit and betrayal."
