Deepwood Weald Let these bones be the giver

Here for the gossip, eh?

And right behind her he parted, not keen to let his potentially pregnant consort wander the dark paths of the weald without supervision. And although Nyx had been his main reason to abandon their fortress for one of the few times the past week, Aries' call had quite concerned him. The Clan hadn't had visitors for some time now, and should he have found a potential recruit Damien would want a good look at it before anyone made a decision without consulting him.

He arrived just in time to catch the stranger's words meant for Nyx, and with a doubtful stare he emerged from the shadows, slithering around Nyx possessively to assess the strange female's bearings. She was indeed healthy despite her injury, and should her pledge of loyalty to the Melonii lineage be trustworthy Damien had no reason not to give her the shelter she asked for. But, why was she looking for one of Potema's twisted bastards, specifically?

Why do you seek Maegi? asked the demon dubiously. Sadly (or perhaps thankfully) Damien hadn't had a chance to see the little monsters grow up in Blackfeather Woods, but one thing he knew about them was that their conception had been the one thing to ultimately drive his brother and more so his sister to madness, and now they were all missing. If Flicker was looking for the girl in order to rid the world of her Damien couldn't care less, but he needed to know this first before making a call about her request.
