calaverna: THORIN TATTOOS (13/14) The day Thorin was born his parents thought he was cursed. Not for a mark on his skin or a evil spell, but because of that damn bird on the windowsill in front of his crib. He was a huge black raven, so old the end of his ruined feathers have turned somehow gray. He was menacing, ugly looking, and Thorin’s mother tried everything to get him away from the chamber. But the bird wouldn’t budge, he stayed still for days, months, just looking down and Thorin while he grew up. Only one time he spoke in front of others, when the five years old prince asked him his name; “Carc” he had answered with a strained voice. Carc became a permanent fixture and, eventually, everyone just accepted him because he didn’t seem to have bad intention. He followed Thorin for years like a loyal companion, he helped him to learn how to read and write, and wherever the prince was you could be sure he was somewhere near, watching over his protégé. Until the day. Until that terrible day when the dwarves escaped their home because of Smaug. Carc was on Thorin shoulder, going west, towards safer lands, before he said sorry to his friend and flew back, towards the mountain, to protect his home. Thorin never saw him again, and the pain for that loss made him refuse to spoke of him ever again. The story got lost in time and the only evidence of that strange friendship is the tattoo Thorin have on his back, a tattoo of a huge raven that always watch his back. Please do not edit or repost.
