The Pack’s Decision

The core of the forest,

Right now, only a gigantic tree sprawled itself over the whole core. It's canopy so thick and wide that the shadow it cast was enough to accommodate hundreds of people beneath. That was only if it was safe to be under such a dangerous being's shadow.

The whole area was filled with some sort of reddish fog and once subjected to that fog, one would not have their consciousness anymore.

Within its thick trunk lay a cocoon made up of its very own branches. The only difference being that the branches were thicker and redder than the rest of the tree. Albeit strange, the cocoon housed a few humans as they were covered in a thick sap like liquid while suspended within the cocoon. Their bodies were still and their consciousness empty. The tree had put them in some sort of induced sleep which led to them being in this manner.
