The unmistakable, intense feeling of excitement washed through Brak as he, Kadwyr, and the others circled away from their quarry. Their group, the few that they were, was able to accomplish what the entire murder could not. He could almost hear Saruman's praise on the wind as they sped away from the lumbering mass of crebain.

"Fools!" mumbled Brak to himself, "there are still some good crows left in the murder. It is shame that they are so inclined to follow such blind leadership!"

There was still a measure of guilt that Brak felt for abandoning many of the only crows he had ever known. Chief among his thoughts was Pip'kha, who he had always held in high regard. Brak looked wistfully behind him, thinking perhaps Pip'kha just might be following close behind, but there was only his small group of companions. At least Kadwyr was still with him, thought Brak with some amount of solace.

Brak let these thoughts fade to the back of his mind so he could contemplate the most direct route home. He was just beginning to turn his focus on the terrain in front of him when he caught a glimpse of some movement in his periphery. He quickly determined that a small group of crows was headed in their general direction. After a moment, he recognized one of the birds as Kadwyr's colleague, Eschkor. Turning back, Brak saw Kadwyr drop behind the others and knew that he too recognized his former companion.

Brak rapidly considered the rebel group's options. Eschkor may be friendly to their cause, but he also could be spying for the murder, or perhaps he could have just inadvertently stumbled upon them. Nevertheless, there was little time to waste determining the truth. Brak spurred the small group into action. He called loudly to the others and immediately cut hard to his left. The rest followed suit and soon they had closed in on Eschkor and his followers. Brak quickly led the team into a circular path that kept their target hemmed in.

After completing two full circuits around the small group, Brak broke away from the others and approached Eschkor. He noticed that Kadwyr had followed him to the center, but the others continued their orbital flight.

"We do not have time to be diplomatic Eschkor," said Brak, "so you must tell me now: are you going to join us, or must we put an end to you here?"
