<sup>Time heals <s>all</s> most wounds</sup><sub>...I heal the rest</sub>

aurora borealis- noun plural: An aurora that occurs in northern regions of the earth. Also called northern lights.

In the middle of a dense forest of coniferous trees lies the Aurora Borealis pack, its name coming from its location. At certain times of the year, the northern lights appear, dancing almost magically in the sky. A narrow trail leads you through the close evergreens. Giving into temptation, you begin moving your paws. By venturing into this territory, you are venturing into a land belonging to a pair of feared leaders. You have heard rumors of them...but you decide to take your chances and hope that the tales of blood and death are merely fabricated stories to scare wolves.

You have walked nearly five minutes before you realize the sound of paws stepping somewhere from behind. Deciding that you've made a mistake, you quickly turn around, but find that you cannot go any further. Standing before you is one of the mighty kings you've heard of. His blood red pelt clings over perfectly toned bands of muscle. But that isn't what causes such fear in your veins. One of his amber eyes has a horrid, bleeding scar across it, and his good eye seems to stare right through you. His face is expressionless, giving off none of his intentions. You cower away as his jaws part.

"I'm Hell Demon."

His voice was deep and cut through the air like a hot knife through butter. Right where he left off, another voice picks up from behind you. You whirl around and find yourself facing another male with steely muscles beneath his pelt, which seems to consist of every shade of brown. He had startled you, and you're amazed how you hadn't at all detected his approach.

"And I am Ghost...we're the alphas of Aurora Borealis."

His deep voice was laced thickly with a Native American accent. His own golden eyes are directing a harsh glare your way. Now you're caught in the middle...your breathing has become heavy in your panic and you're not sure which to face.

"You've foolishly trespassed into our territory. You face the one called Hell Demon's whose voice is once more addressing you. Get out, or become a corpse along our border."

It's obvious they mean business. So now it's up to you...take your chances and stay, or heed their warning and waste no time getting out with your life.

The next few herbs that she thought would be important for her students to learn were Echinacea, Feverfew, and Lady's Mantle. With the coming of the spring, Hellene had been glad to find that many of the plants that she often relied on we're beginning to grow back. She had started to stock up the shelves in her den once more, but had been careful with how much she took, ensuring that there be enough seeds for the plants to continue to grow. More so, she had also taken a few of the plants and, instead of drying them, had drug shallow holes in the soil outside of her den and had planted them so that an herb garden would begin to grow there, making all of the herbs more accessible. So far she had only gathered garlic, ginger, poppy, echinacea, fever few, and lady's mantle, but Moreso because those were the only ones she had been using recently as opposed to not being able to find others. But to digress, Hellene found the three plants that she was looking for and brought them back to the clearing, smiling at Sebring and Khaleesi. "While I set this all up, you both should go try to find the plants we learned about last time and poultice your limb. Practice makes perfect, and it has been a long while since last we met." As they left, Hellene arranged the three plants in front of her, with the flowers pointing toward where her students would be sitting. She waited patiently for them to return and work on their skills before starting.

When they were both done, she would judge each of them, ensuring that they had collected the right plants, and then would start to address the plants she had collected. "While the first few plants you learned are used commonly for many different things, these next few have very specific uses. Echinacea, this first one, is one I use in abandoned pups and sick wolves. It is used to increase the immune system's strength. Note the orange center and the vibrant purplish pink petals - it is hard to mistake this plant for anything else. The next one - this is Feverfew. It is easy to mistake this one for a daisy, with the yellow center and white petals, but these petals are much fewer in number and are shorter and blunter, as opposed to coming to a point. Feverfew is good for headaches and to bring down fevers, and I often give it to older wolves to allay the pains of arthritis as they age - they can either ingest it or soak it in a puddle and apply it directly to the joint to treat arthritis. And this final plant - Lady's Mantle - is an odd plant. The leaves as you see are large and are shaped like lily pads, and the flowers are small and in a bouquet after coming off of a thin stalk. However, you should never ingest the flower or leaves as they cause indigestion. Instead, you will dig it up and crush up the root to apply to a wound. It causes the blood to clot. You need to inform them not to lick at it if you use it, and I only use it for large wounds or ones that have punctured through arteries or larger veins." Hellene fell silent and turned her eyes to both of them.

"Now I want both of you to search for these so you have an idea of where they are growing. I have taken it upon myself to start an herb garden near my den, but those plants are off limits. Should you wish to start your own garden - which I would suggest both for ease of finding and to prevent mistaking plants - I will help you. Now, Khaleesi I will have you find plants and bring them back here. Sebring, in your state, I do not want you to end up ingesting any of these as some of them may cause abortion, so instead I will follow you and merely have you identify them to me. If you want to start a garden, I will gather them and carry them to your den for you." She paused, waiting for them to reply before heading out with them.
