Qiuqiu bared his teeth and glared at him, the purple blood-like markings under his scales flickering.
"Don't look at me like that."
Seville suddenly let go and plucked a Golden Feather from his Wings.
"Prey targeted by a Black Priest will be dug out even if they flee to the ends of the Star Sea."
The Golden Feather collapsed into a ball of light in his palm, and he gently pressed it into Qiuqiu's chest.
"This will block any tracking. Now scram and go find your father and Female Mother."
As he turned, his black and white Wings stirred a light breeze, but he heard the PATTER PATTER of footsteps behind him.
"I'm not going back!"
The young cub suddenly lunged forward and hugged his leg, the force making Seville stumble.
The scales, matted with blood and grime, scraped against the fabric with a sorrowful RUSTLE.
"I don't have a father, and my Female Mother… she doesn't want me anymore! The only one who was ever nice to me was my aunty!"
