My thanks to Kameterra for betaing this fic.
The crow could taste power.
It landed on the Statue of Liberty, claws clattering against the statue's copper skin. It raised its head to the wind- power, raw and pure energy had burst forth here; the ley lines had been ripped open and the reality itself had been altered.
But that wasn't the power it sough; the earth's power had long ago ceased to interest it. It required too much effort to crack open ley lines to scrape at the energy inside. Like cracking open a coconut, such an endeavour required tools, and those tools were well out of the creature's league.
No, the power it sought was different, stronger than anything the earth could have to offer. The city was permeated with it, ancient reptilian energy that haloed the buildings in ethereal light.
The bird let out a caw as it surveyed the sprawling metropolis; it would take time and effort to track down the sources hidden within the smog of energy. But time it had in spades, and it would find them, eventually.
