Blackfeather Woods Maggots! Another lover lost to the tunnels

Damien's disappearances had only recently been noticed by the witch. His growing scent inside the tunnels and the fading of his marks from the borders was what tipped her off. Confusion and curiosity led her to search the tunnels for her brother, calling out for the Dark King time and time again, but he was no where to be found. His reluctance to be found was familiar, drawing back to his youth, but he was Dark Master now. He could not draw away, not now when he was needed.

There was an authority in the girl's voice that rubbed her the wrong way, but she dared not question it when she finally found the speckled girl. What is it?
