*It was a dark and stormfull afternoon. It was raining and thundering. A black shadow landed at the windowsill outside the little inn. Abraxas had been flying all the night to get back to his beloved mistress. But he couldn't find her at the opera house. Exhausted he sat down at the windowsill, his feathers all wet and cold from the rain. Tired, thirsty and hungry. He started pecking on the window with his beak, hoping that someone would hear him and let him inside before he got hit by a thunderbolt.*

*Cry-Baby thought he'd imagined the sound, but one never knew these days. He carried Gavyn into the room, burping him after a feeding. He was surprised to see a bird at the window. Knocking?
He laughed suddenly and opened it.*
"Abraxas!" *he said.* "Damn foolish time to be outside."

*Abraxas flew into the room and shook the water off his feather. He was still shivering from the cold weather outside, but happy to see his old friend again. If he could bend his beak, he would have smiled.*
"It is good to see you again old friend! I was just flying in from Greece, and boy are my arms getting tired!"
*He said and looked up at him and the baby.*
"Hey, who's the baby? Is it yours?"

*Cry-Baby smiled at the bird's joke despite himself.*
"Er... Yeah. It is. It's complicated. Name's Gavyn. It's good to see you, Feathers, but what were ya doin' in Greece?"

"Nice piece of work you've got there. He looks just like you."
*Abraxas coaxed with laughter. Then he became serious.*
"Well, you remember my witch and I went to Greece on vacation? You know, when she had her... makeover. At the same time I met a hot chick and fell in love. Nest, eggs and all. Then the blasted rainstorm came, and my wife and eggs disappeared. I'm all alone now."

*Cry-Baby frowned.*
"Man, Brax, that's rough. All gone?"

*Abraxas bowed his head. His black little bird's eyes were sad.*
"Not as much as a tail feather left. So I decided to return to France to look for my witch. I have already been at the Opera House, but she isn't at our old room in the dormitories. And now I don't know where to look for her. She is gone."

*Cry-Baby felt real sadness for the bird. His whole family!*
"She ain't there no more; moved in with a fella named Icarus. They've got a place in a mansion, actually, if you want me to take you. I'm real sorry about your family."

"Thank you for your sympathy. I appreciate it."
*Abraxas looked up at him, a glimpse of hope in his eyes.*
"She is married? I never saw that one coming! And a mansion? She's doing better than I had dare to hope for. Have you met this guy? What kind of man is he?"

*Cry-Baby shrugged.*
"Just seen 'im, during the battle. Don't really know him. She seems happy, though. Surprised you two weren't in touch."

*Abraxas became serious.*
"I didn't dare to contact her. You see: She has a new enemy. One that is more dangerous for her than anyone has ever been. One that reads her mind. And is swearing to kill her."

*Cry-Baby cocked an eye at the raven.*
"Your girl gets into a lot of trouble, don't she?"

*Abraxas sighed heavily and rolled his eyes.*
"You have no idea. And this time it is worse than ever. This enemy knows her better than anyone else: It's her own mother: Queen Lilith of Hell."

*Cry-Baby blinked. He had enough going on without this.*
"That don't sound good. Look, Feathers, I got somethin' goin' on here means I won't be much help to her right now. But I can take you to her."

*Abraxas patted his head with his wing.*
"I am grateful for that, my friend. Honestly I don't want you involved in this mess at all. Especially since you have a family now. Queen Lilith is a devil.... literally. But she doesn't know you, and I don't want to place you in her path. Just follow me to Malefica's house and release me there, and I'll make sure Queen Lilith will never know about you."
*He tilted his head a little.*
"And if I ever can repay your kindness, I will be glad to do so."
