As the first raven emerged from Sasaki's shadow, he felt a deep sense of love and relief.
This raven, named Shadow, was his first companion in this strange land.
Shadow had always been by his side, guiding him through light and darkness, alerting him to danger, and helping him avoid threats.
Seeing Shadow after such a long time made Sasaki's eyes grow numb with emotion. A faint, sweet smile appeared on his face.
Shadow flew up and gently landed on Sasaki's shoulder, flapping his wings softly. Sasaki touched Shadow's beak and petted him. Shadow, feeling the same joy, rubbed his head against Sasaki's fingers.
The bond between them was special. Shadow had been with Sasaki through so many trials, and now, reunited, they both felt the warmth of their connection.
It was a moment of their love and gratitude, a quiet but powerful reunion between Sasaki and his loyal Shadow.
