cameo. you can notice her but no harming--this is backdated and she didn't have any injuries coming out of the war
The pups had been encouraged to stay below in the Web with Relmyna, but Maegi's natural curiosity--with not a little trepidation, either--brought her to the surface as the thundering sounds of battle sounded, cries echoing through the Woods. Keeping low and quiet, the girl slipped through the trees a pale specter, mismatched eyes darting constantly to and fro, looking for enemies.
Should they find her, Maegi knew they wouldn't hesitate to kill her. She was, after all, a child of this place, a inheritor of the scourge they had left on the world.
She had emerged in the southern part of the forest, and while Vaati's and Kove's scents were not to be found, she did discover that Miraak and Nyx, two of her most beloved packmates, were nearby. She flattened her ears, moving toward the sound of battle. She had no idea what her aim was--it wasn't as if she were able to help, in any case--but her feet kept her moving as she tried to move as stealthily as possible, despite her limp.
Suddenly, chaos was upon her, and her gaze fell upon a brown female with bright eyes, engaged in a spar with Miraak, whose own indigo orbs flashed with the thrill of the fight. Heart hammering in her chest, Maegi watched, wanting so badly to leap into the fray, but kept her distance, hidden in the shadows, her muscles taut.
The old Melonii was doing his best--oh, and there were Nyx and Moonshadow, fighting a pair of wolves over to the side, they seemed to be doing fine as well and--Oh, oh, no!
The woman had sank her fangs into Miraak's throat and clamped down her jaws, and her uncle was powerless to stop this newest onslaught. It was like when Ramsay and Euron play-fought, except this was for real, and Miraak was dying before her eyes. Her stomach churned and her soul felt like it was being torn in two, and she felt paralyzed in place, rooted to the ground. . .just watching.
She couldn't cry out, for they'd hear her. Couldn't weep, for the fear of being found. Fear had frozen her where she stood, so fleeing wasn't an option. All she could do was watch.
The enemy combatant dropped her uncle's lifeless, blood-soaked body to the ground, and signaled to her fellow fighters to leave. Maegi had dropped to a limp crouch, grief racking her body in tumultuous waves. Blood rushed like thunder in her head, and she hid her face in her paws, emitting a low, guttural moan that was barely audible over the sounds of the forest.
The nightmares began. She saw it over and over. From her position in the Woods, to the journey to the Bypass, to letting her brothers and Cicero go. Hell, the last thing she saw before being yoked to the collar was Miraak's corpse, stained crimson, his Melonii eyes staring wide and sightless into the Void.
Thus Maegi saw her first death, felt her first loss--and the slow shift into the wolf she would become had begun.
