Blackfeather Woods All or Nothing

just a little cameo

Maegi was still tucked away in a dark corner of the Woods, mourning the absence of her brothers, when the sound of a struggle reached her ears, not incredibly immediate but close enough to cause her alarm. Ears flattened against her skull, she slipped quietly toward the noise, hoping that this didn't mean the intruders were back. Cicero had been so adamant that they'd return, and seeing them again would not only be downright dangerous, it would deal a serious blow to her pride.

After all, she had chosen to stay here, despite the potential pitfalls.

A gorse bush blocked some of the view, but Maegi soon was able to make out the dark form of Moonshadow, engaged in combat with a young, burly male. They exchanged blows, back and forth, neither relenting. As she had when Miraak had fallen, Maegi felt powerless, and watched on silently, mismatched eyes wide.

Come with me and you'll live. Much to Maegi's chagrin, the woman eventually acquiesced, led by the boy out of the forest. They were heading back toward the mountains Blackfeather had crossed, and the girl was momentarily unsure whether to track them or to warn someone. Finally deciding the former was the most sensible option, she scurried back the way she'd came, looking to inform Kove of this latest catastrophe.
