Blackfeather Woods confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks

Dragon - she'd whispered, and Damien instantly thought of the lair, of Asterr, and he worried. He had told her that none of her followers were to come near the dark forest unless it was important, and given his last encounter with the dragoness and what she'd revealed, there were reasons for him to worry. But the female claimed that the dragon was what she was looking for and that Damien himself was to tell her where it rested. She hadn't been sent by Asterr. So, why was she looking for her?

Damien looks around with wary eyes, hoping that no one had seen or listened to the female's words, but somehow he'd missed his own sister approaching. It wasn't usual for the witch to get mad, but she stormed her way up to his side and claimed there were no dragons in Blackfeather Woods. Where had she come from? She couldn't know about Asterr, Damien couldn't allow it, and so the only thing he could do was following his sister's lead. "Leave," he ordered, "Look in the mountains, dragons are not welcome down here," he hinted, trying his best to hide the truth to his sister and matching her expression.
