Blackfeather Woods the haunting

his gaze shifted to the woman, and he considered. despite the slow burn of his anger, it was something entirely controlled, and thus logic reigned even now. to take retribution now would be swift and just, and yet the sinner was attached to the woman the raven's had chosen. and by extent, so had he; long before when he'd offered his gift. and while he knew the pressures felt by the wood's denizens, and how to exploit them, he preferred his place in its current state. 

and so the Raven recoiled, stalking back and regarding the woman. "we will judge." and until they had deemed payment acceptable, the wood would be wronged and thus cruel. his gaze moved to the ravens and the crows, and judged that here they would remain, as vivid scar against the fabric of the wood itself, until the nona made good on her word. with that, he turned heel and was gone. a moment later, a pair of atramentous birds followed suit, winging after the man.
