Blackfeather Woods life is nothing without the pain

It was common knowledge that Cicero had a strange liking of plants, the poisonous and toxic kind especially, but no one seemed to know what uses the prince of madness gave to those when he was alone. Damien himself knew nothing about it, and he had next to zero experience with plants at all, so when his brother told him he was medicating himself he believed his word. But, what pain was he trying to keep away?

"Are you hurt?" asked the shadow prince with a squint, "You do look terrible," he added, having noticed the way he grimaced before. Damien worried about his brother, there was no one else who could do that for him now, not after every wolf who ever acted as a parent to them was gone.
