Blackfeather Woods discontent

he feels it all around, in the bones of the wood, the stillness of the canopy, the whispered oaths and curses. the wood is unsettled, and by extension so is he. he wanders, unseen and unheard, visiting once a day the great ravine and standing for long periods at a time at its edge, utterly still. he has taken Maegi's word and so must suffer this discontent until she acts, or a length of time in which she does not. the gods of his people mean little to him, but the breath and life of the wood itself is tangible and real and touched now with corruption. sinner, whispers the land all around, and he stalks it with wilting patience.
