Afterlife Transport The user is capable of taking the souls of others, willingly or otherwise, to the afterlife. Afterlife Marking User can leave a supernatural imprint/mark that determines which afterlife (if any) the target goes to after they die, allowing them to be judged/sorted easily and send to where a persons soul will go for there final rest. Some targets may have a mark that either prevents them from passing on and/or sends them to nothingness/oblivion when they die.

As The Crow Flies

"Her name is Truth"

A man dies. He ascends. Though his duties are not yet finished. He is brought back on the wings of a crow. The story continues.

From the very beginning, Veritas has been there. She is Eric's shadow, always at his side.. Watching, waiting. She is his companion, guardian, eyes, and ears. As an extension of him, any harm she may endure, he mirrors. However, she is armed with abilities that make such a thing extremely rare. Her size and wingspan is double that of the American Crow, making her very menacing to see in the shadows of the night.

At any given moment, she can alert Eric to danger or distress by crow vision, letting him see through her eyes. To evade danger herself, she often scatters into a flock of smaller crows or melts into shadow. Her senses are heightened and can often see or smell miles away from the intended target.

Known as the bringer of Death, she can lull terminal beings to their end by way of her cry. If she ever appears to a being, rather than be of fear.. They are overwhelmed with a warmth and comfort that they have never experienced in their mortal life and often follow her willingly to the afterlife.
