now, one of the most pivotal moments in his adolescence unfurls.
a great, black stag reprimanding and pushing from the herd an unruly son that challenges his rule. c'ede' sits among his muradoii siblings, watching with quiet breath, quiet eyes. eyes of ice that drink in the sight with too much eagerness. pale iceblock fur bristling with each growl, each blow of violence.
and when an eye is dislodged and done away with, c'ede' rises. he did not know ghelan. the sharadoii had never bothered to come and know him. and the white raven feels nothing as he is maimed, punished, and exiled.
a traitor.
c'ede' howls his agreement.
