Blackfeather Woods courage is knowing what not to fear

It was painful to see Cicero struggle to even eat. What an irony it was, how hunger made it hard even to eat. But little steps towards nourishment were better than a slow death by starvation, and if that meant Cicero would survive long enough to make it through the famine that was sure to end at some point, Damien would take it.

Cicero urged Damien to eat with him, to which Damien was very tempted to indulge. But he did not. "You need it more than me. I can still hunt for myself." stated the dark prince in a strange mix of stern kindness. "I need you to stay alive," he then admitted softly, the sound of his voice hinting that there was more depth to that statement than it would seem.
