Blackfeather Woods new life sprouts

After the seeds were placed in the gutter, Kendra covered them with more earth and Cicero smiled as he watched her work so diligently. He enjoyed Kendra's presence, for she worked hard and she might be able to bring him more of the poisons he needed in due time.

He did not speak, praying in silence for the seeds to grow tall, for he doubted that if any gods were out there, they would be physically listening to his words, anyway.
