In those moments, the Corvus entity's voice buzzed in Matar's mind, sharp and commanding. "You must go to Cypriox. Investigate what is happening, for I feel that the Aopudes are searching for the phoenix blood—the man who created the powerful mechanism."
"Don't worry," Matar replied mentally. "I can get there easily if you lend me the blackmist-teleportation." The Corvus entity talked to him.
"Transform into a crow first," Corvus instructed. "I'll send you there in an instant." A swirl of black smoke enveloped Matar, and from it, a sleek black bird emerged. He was now a crow, hovering in the air. A veil of black mist appeared before him, and he plunged into it, emerging an instant later right in front of the Cypriox monastery.
