“I—”
But the crowd wasn’t listening."

“Porcupine and I were best friends. Always together. But sometimes… his quills fell off. And I’d step on them. It hurt.”
Raven nodded. “So you got mad.”
“When he called and said, ‘Let’s go play,’ I took him on my back to the middle of the marsh. I left him there.”
“And how did he get away?”
“He called on Wolf, who summoned the North Wind. The lake froze. He walked to safety.”
Raven frowned. “And then he stuck you in the tree. But if you are friends, why do you treat each other so?”

“Why are you called a killer?” Raven asked. “You have never killed a man, as far as I know.”
Killer Whale rolled gently with the tide.
“We killed men once,” Killer Whale said. “But then we were commanded by our creator to never kill People again.”
Raven blinked. “And who is your creator?”
“Natsilane,” said Killer Whale. “His brothers paid the price of his vengeance. We pay the price of his remorse.”

Levitation

"Raven soared through Dreamland, his mind full of sorrow and suspicion.
“The People have forgotten how to act,” he explained to himself rather pedantically. “They’ve become prey waiting to be eaten. They do not even struggle.”
He watched them from above as they stood in their lines, staring into their mirrored rectangles, muttering questions to invisible ears."
