Deepwood Weald King of the Rock

Damien turned his gaze back to the cave at the night maiden's suggestion. He knew she was getting ideas, and he had some of his own, so with half a naughty smirk he turned to her and said My thoughts exactly with a deep, suggestive tone. That was her cue to follow him inside, but before he could lead the way a wind blew a scent his way and his entire expression changed.

Sniffing the air Damien confirmed his fears: the cave was already claimed, but what was most concerning was the layer of blood that carried the scent. His eyes turned in silent alarm to Nyx, who by now had most likely already picked up what was going on.
