"Hehe, that's not my habit. Since I've taken something from you, I'll provide what I consider a fair price." An ambiguous smile appeared on the Crow Queen's delicate face, and she pointed lightly in the air, "First, I want to give each of you an emblem..."
Silver-gray metallic particles appeared out of thin air, and under the gaze of the Goddess of Elves, they coalesced into several fist-sized crests. The crests bore the image of a raven, with two grain-sized rubies embedded in the raven's eyes, glittering in the flickering torchlight in the room.
"This is my emblem. While carrying it, all shadow spirits will know you as friends. Unless you do something to incite hostility, they will maintain a friendly attitude and be willing to offer help. Moreover, once a day, you can use this emblem to transform into a raven, without any time restrictions. However, after using it, the emblem must remain in the shadows for eight hours before it can be used again."
