Blackfeather Woods He-Who-Guards-Unseen

wasn't sure if i should wait for Damien to start the next round or not but this seemed to make sense c:

Cicero watched as it transpired. He had never witnessed a sacrifice before. Yet when he looked into the eyes of the wolf they were to sacrifice, he did not see a wolf that deserved to die for them. He saw innocence and purity to match the vacant and willing expression, and while that was likely part of why she was chosen it made Cicero feel like this was an injustice. He would much rather tear into one of their enemies and if not that, a wolf who had done wrong in their lifetime too. This seemed wrong somehow, and he could feel his hackles prick in agitation.

And so he accepted the invitation, in a way; he moved forward as quickly as he could to wrap his teeth around the girl's neck. It would be foolish to try and save her, for it was clear she were to die today, but the least he could do was give her a swift sendoff so that her pain would be brief. She deserved that, for so loyally offering herself as sacrifice to the dark brotherhood.
