Drakeford shares, "As Quando walked, he began to look more toward the sky. He saw a blinding flash and the sound got closer to him. Suddenly, a creature appeared before him that greeted him by saying, 'Good morning, traveler. What brings you this way?'
Quando was startled at first but realized that a golden raven that could talk confronted him.
At first, he couldn't believe his eyes. You see, most of the ravens he had seen were black and couldn't talk at all. Quando sat on a tree stump and began to compose himself after realizing what had happened. Quando had been alone for several hours and it was nice to hear a familiar voice. Quando told the raven the story about how he was selected to recover the crown. The raven said that the task he was given was almost next to impossible.
'We must call on some help from a few of my friends, however, there is a catch,' said the raven. 'You will have to answer a riddle that each of them will ask you about the next.' "
