The Raven Storm Above

 when the three Ravens open the Gate to the afterworld the gates remain open until the gates are closed by them who led the birds that followed them into the afterworld. and when they come back from the afterworld they wonder if they were tricked into believing that they were returning from the afterlife that had fallen out of their nest and had been eaten by this Raven who flies ahead of them thats slow and below but much faster when they lead the storm of clouds across the sky.
