Briar P.o.v
A few weeks later...
She was wandering through the forest and while she was,she saw rot on several of the trees. It didn't look natural,and most of them were far to young too be dying. Then she went too look at the heart tree,it was the source of life for all living things in the forests. It looked like it had been weakened by magic.
She called her raven messenger, Nox, and sent a message to Lycaon. But he didn't come.
"Ugh,he always leaves me waiting,I'll go too his kingdom to give him a piece of my mind"She thought out loud. She rushed to the western woods and asked to see him from his beta,Leaf,a large brown male with a black spot on his ear.
"No!Unless invited by our alpha himself your not allowed into our territory! Now scram!"He shouted. She felt her blood boil she was about too make a retort when she heard a voice say,"It's the northern queen,let her in she's my-"He said but was cut off by a violent cough "Friend,now sit!"
It was Lycaon and Aaron did sit and whimpered a little. Her friend looked pretty ill,he kept having violent coughing fits every 15 seconds. His eyes were also a little bit faded and he looked overheated. He also seemed to have odd markings over his fur,which was how werewolves usually became when they were very,very sick. Not like the sniffles sick more like the scarlet fever or black plague sick.
"Lycaon,are you alright?"She asked,concerned.
"It's nothing I just-"He said but was cut off by another coughing fit,"Am feeling a little under the weather".
She raised an eyebrow at this sentence. He sighed and coughed even more at the end.
"There's something wrong with the heart tree,it may have something to do with your sickness and a bunch of trees in my forest are dying as well" She said.
"Well we have to stop whoever is doing it"He wheezed. She sighed.
"If only we knew,If only we knew" She said,bereft.
