Blackfeather Woods A message that must be shared

He watched his sister walk away from Blackfeather Woods, away from her family, away from her roots. She was so determined to see the world outside of the darkness she'd been born into, and Damien had felt powerless against her wish. He had promised her before that he would be there for her, acting as the father she'd lost, and the protector she deserved, but in her eyes he'd failed to accomplish that, and deep inside, Damien knew he had.

A sorrowful glance was cast at Cicero when he arrived, transmitting emotions through his colorless eyes that few like him would ever see come from Damien. "She says she needs time," he said, and swallowed hard trying to ease the knot that had formed in his throat. "Why do they keep leaving us, brother?" he asked then, nostalgia and defeat tainting his voice. Father, Mother, Brother, Mentor. They all left, they all abandoned them, and the list just kept growing longer.
