[ the silly thing about birds is that even if they can be a remarkably smart species like a raven, sometimes they can still be amazingly dumb. or gullible. or just plain fuck things up by eating things they’re not supposed to and that’s where the problem starts, with this one.

they've passed by ruinous scenes during their journey, villages burnt to cinders and ashes, kingdoms abandoned and still smoking or blackened. people, displaced and fleeing as well as animals and other species. desperate stories from survivors of the bird woman that appears in flame, wielding power over hell fire, torching lands indiscriminately and vowing to bring the coming of a second sun to earth. trade stops, war stops, everyday life as people know it stops as remaining surviving countries try frantically to pool resources and shelter refugees and find out what the hell they’re going to do. enchantresses scry into the raven's past and future, clerics and gnostics recalling folk legends of a bird that flies too high and devours the sun god, a harbinger black bird from hell that would destroy everything if undefeated by righteous heroes.

and that’s hopefully what they are. a party thrown together by circumstance and chance and desperation, for some, and deku’s leadership. gathered for the purpose to confront the raven and seal her away. and now they’re nearing close to the volcanic no-man’s-land the hell bird appears to call home, where sightings of her are most common, where they can hopefully stop her for good before the world goes up in flames.

the land is black and desolate, with few trees and dried rivers. they settle next to one such abandoned riverbed for the night, their large group splits up somewhat, whether it’s to plan or erect camp or even start making dinner for one last meal before they search for the sun bird tomorrow. bakugou can see deku consulting with iida and todoroki over a map, yaoyorozu talking with jirou while poring over a spellbook, kaminari and kirishima trying to lighten up the mood and chat with people and boost morale before the big fight, and...

he has no idea why he’s looking for one specific person, but--maybe there is a reason and he doesn’t really know how to admit it to himself, just yet. he looks for uraraka, wherever she is or however she might be preparing for their last night. ]
