While her generals led patrols throughout Blackfeather Woods, the raven queen took a score or so of hunters and lead them west. Her troops needed food, and one of the best supplies were in the lakes to the north and west. They needed to claim them in order to feed the multitude of fledglings and slaves that now lived in the trees in raven territory. While they could fix the food rationing by cutting down rations for prisoners and slaves, the queen still needed to feed the hungry and demanding mouths of the babes.
She lighted on a tree close to the waters, feeling the weak tree bend as her hunters landed on the branches. The one-eyed Matriarch turned to her followers. "Let's put this new plan to action, hmm?" Recently, one of her lieutants came up with the idea of dropping insects into the water and luriing fish towards the surface. It worked in the southern swamps, but they needed to try it on less familiar grounds.
Her ravens swooped down, some carrying crickets and beetles in their talons. Those few scattered the insects and flew upwards so not to scare off any fish. Now came the waiting game. Fishing was an awfully patient method of hunting.
