ERIS PYRE

"Oh, I'll be just fine on my own," Eris insisted. "Maybe you could learn a thing or two?" She added, grinning. "Consider it the start of me repaying my debt. Do you have any frequent ailments? Back home, there was one wolf who always had a stomach ache after eating squirrel... But that never stopped him." She paused to scent the ground, catching the faint, herbal scent of heather nearby. It was a hardy plant, and she was sure it would be prevalent here, despite whatever had happened to these trees. The fallen trees were also a haven for spiders and creepy crawlies. There would be plenty of web around, which was good for stopping bleeding from small cuts and scrapes. Unfortunately, she didn't have any way of transporting it reliably, and unless she got a good-size ball going, it wouldn't keep anyway.

She snuffled along, trying not to check if Oxide was trailing her. Eris focused instead on following the scent of the heather, which was somewhat difficult to track. It had a mild odor, and although most animals seemed to avoid this place, there was the stench of braver creatures to contend with: badgers, wolverines, and stoats. They weren't afraid of everything, and this place was thick with their scent.

Eris found a pleasant patch of heather at the end of a hollow log. It was a tree that must have been felled long ago, rotted out from the inside. The heather grew plentiful at the mouth of the log and trailed into the opening. Moss grew just inside as well, which was useful in stopping blood flow and preventing infection. Happily, Eris set to work on gnawing some heather out close to the root, to get full use of the flowers and stem. She was fully engrossed in gathering the plant and didn't notice a faint rustling from further inside the log...
