The Heartwood just when you got it all, you always wanna get some more

Charon was on his way south to explore around his favourite series of mountains again and passed through the Heartwood as he did. The burnt surroundings fascinated him as a Naturalist, and so he could not help but take a little detour to check how the Heartwood was doing, and if anything was growing there again.

He thought to hear a faint voice in the vicinity just as he stepped into the ashen clearing. When he turned his head he saw another wolf and said, his demeanour neutral: "Fascinating, isn't it?" Well, to be truthful, the other wolf didn't look very fascinated. Perhaps they hadn't been around to witness the might of the storms; or perhaps they had and had lost something dear.
