A light colored viscet was charging straight towards Genova, who braced himself, his mouth split in a wide grin. At the last second, he jumped out of the way, thinking the viscet would shot straight past him. He underestimated the other viscet though, who turned suddenly and purposely slammed into him, sending him flying a short distance, skidding on his tail and probably dislodging a good few feathers. "Oi! That was out of line, Jahi!" He called over, and although his words were meant to be chiding, his tone was filled with amusement. "As a future leader, you really should respect your friends more!" Jahi only laughed in reply, walking closer and holding out a paw.

"And as a future leader's friend, you should be aware of tricks." He replied cheerfully. Genova accepted the paw, getting back up and brushing off his tail, before looking back mournfully at the lost feathers. "I would love to do that again, if only to see that hilarious expression on your face, but it's time for the meeting." Jahi said, sighing. The pair walked towards the group of Leaf viscets waiting for them, and they left to meet the other two packs, Vine and Rain.

"I can't believe you'll break the alliance like that." Ekon, Jahi's father and leader of the Leaf Pack, growled out, thumping his tail and glaring at the other pack leaders, Mazur of the Vine and Thyne of the Rain. "Crossing the border! I thought we went through this last meeting! I guess it seems the rumors about the Vine being untrustworthy were true."

"Now who's jumping to conclusions? I thought we went through that last meeting as well." Mazur snarled, his eyes bright and defiant. "I too, heard rumors of the Leaf planning to betray us, so don't act all high and mighty. We came to this meeting place as equals, and I refuse to be put down due to rumors heard by your viscets." He looked like he was about to add more, and Genova frowned, preparing himself to take more insults from the Vine leader.

"Now now, let's all calm down and solve the issue at hand, not snarl at each other like packless viscets." Thyne interrupted, waving a paw and stepping between Ekon and Mazur. "So it seems like a Vine viscet had dared to cross the territory line. Well, yes, the Vine is at fault for doing so, but," he added, looking to Mazur before he could protest, "I think the Leaf are at fault as well."

Those from their pack who had attended all roared in anger, including Genova and Jahi. How dare another viscet talk to their pack as if it was lower than him? It was a breach of order! Jahi looked like he was about to storm out of the group and approach the leaders, and against his better judgement Genova felt the same. Ekon thumped his tail again, this time to silence his pack. "And how, Thyne, is the Leaf in the wrong? Are we supposed to sit back and let a viscet from another pack invade our territory? Maybe we should give them gifts for coming into our territory, as a reward!"

"I never said that, Ekon. Please, this meeting was to discuss it like proper pack viscets. I accused your pack for I had decided to ask around for information on this territory, and it turned out that your pack did not mark the trees right! In fact, that area almost seems neglected from the lack of marking. Who else to blame but yourself?" Thyne added, sighing.

Genova didn't hear Ekon's reply, having noticed a viscet slither off into the forest around the meeting place. He nudged Jahi, gesturing with his snout to the place where the viscet had left. "Hey Jahi, did you notice that viscet? They just left and it seems like they don't want anyone to notice their absence." He had to nudge Jahi again to get his attention. "Were you even listening?"

"Yeah, yeah, something about viscet and absence." He replied, his eyes still on the arguing pack leaders. "Can we talk later? Seriously, Mazur is up to no good! Accusing our pack like that, when it is so obviously his pack in the wrong! And look at Thyne, being all bossy and calm. I swear, that guy is planning something, you can just tell. I don't know which pack is worse, Vine or Rain." Genova started poking him in earnest, until the other viscet focused on him, irritated. "Were you not listening--"

"It's just boring pack stuff, they argue about territory all the time." Genova said, shaking his head. "Seriously, we have no time to lose! Come on, we need to follow that viscet!" Without waiting for a reply, he hurried after the mysterious viscet, hoping they weren't too late. He tried to track them, scanning the ground for pawprints and the surrounding bushes for any sign of disturbance. Not long into the chase, he knew he lost the suspicious viscet, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He knew instinctively that the viscet was up to no good, and his curiosity would not rest until he found out what the viscet was doing.

"Wow, nice, I see you caught the viscet." Jahi said sarcastically, probably irritable from being pulled away from the meeting. "Well, since that mysterious fellow is not here, do you think we should head back and see who is right? I'm itching to see that stuck-up Thyne get something wrong for once. That viscet is too cunning for his own good." Genova interrupted before he could continue. Jahi was extremely loyal to his pack, and once he starts ranting there's no end.

"I know we lost the viscet, but since we're out here we might as well do some investigating of our own. You know, about the pack boundaries between the Vine and Leaf." He added, knowing that would get Jahi's attention. It proved true, and in a few minutes the pair were pushing through the forest, carefully walking next to the territory line, on the Leaf side. It won't do for them to be caught with their paws on the wrong side of the line. Some more minutes in, they found where the Vine viscets supposedly crossed the territory line, over into the Leaf. They looked around, careful not to disturb anything, and to Genova's surprise, they found evidence.

Evidence of Vine treachery.

They stood there for the longest time, staring at the covered up claw marks, and the scent of the Vine viscets heavy in the air. Finally, Genova snapped out of the trance, and turned to Jahi, gripping his friend by his shoulder. "We need to tell your father." He said firmly, his head still swimming at the implications. Jahi nodded soundlessly, and they ran off, almost flying towards the meeting place. It seemed like time had flown when they were searching for the viscet, as when they came back the leaders had finished the meeting and everyone was going back to their territory.

Jahi jogged up to his father, with Genova hanging behind. He wanted to tell Ekon too, but oftentimes he went off topic and started rambling about other things. It wasn't his fault, but maybe he was a bit too passionate about the topic. "Father! We found--"

"Not now son, I need to think over the meeting." Ekon replied, waving Jahi off. "Tell me another time. That Mazur! Demanding these unfair treaties and then going around breaking them for his own gain. I swear, if the Leaf weren't so honorable I'll be attacking right back, underhand ways or not."

"But Father, we have evi--"

"I said not now. And where were you at the meeting? You are supposed to support your pack and your leader, not slink off finding shiny objects and whatever fascinates you, Jahi. Be more responsible." Jahi stopped walking, simply standing there and watching his father walk ahead. Genova decided now was a good time to step in, and he did so, waving a paw in front of Jahi's face.

"Hey, hey, you there?" He asked, half jokingly and half concerned. "We can tell him later, I can see he's super busy right now." He opened his mouth to add more, before seeing something out of the corner of his eye. He turned, sensing it was the same viscet from before, and moved after them, pulling Jahi along. "It's the same guy, let's follow them!" He whispered to Jahi, trying his best not to step on twigs or dry leaves.

Out of nowhere, a viscet darts in front of them, stopping them in their tracks. "Idiots! What are you two doing here?" The viscet said. Genova almost jumped when he recognized her. Another Leaf viscet!

"Genoveva?" He asked, dipping his head in recognition. "It's been a while since I saw you. And before you call us idiots, we're following a suspi--"

"The two of you are like elephants, stomping on basically every single leaf and stick there is in this place. Could you be quieter? Or go home, that's even better." She added. "I reckon I'm better at following than you two, so run along, children."

Genova wanted to laugh, but considering the situation he only smiled back. "Sorry Gen, but we want to follow as well. How about we make a deal? You stay out of our way, and we stay out of yours. The viscet is gaining on us as we speak." He looked to Jahi for support, but when he saw the look on his face he could only sigh. "Dude, not now, I know you think you're a flirt but seriously if you start now I'll give up on you." He threatened, shaking his head. Jahi only shrugged in reply.

"Fine." Gen replied. "And what did I say about not making up nicknames for me, Fluff?" She left before he could reply, and he huffed, hating not having the last word. They continued following the viscet, but suddenly the tracks stopped, along with all evidence the viscet was even here. He turned around, confused, only to see Gen run past rolling her eyes. "He found out and he's fleeing!" She called back, and Genova ran after her, Jahi closely behind.

They went right to the Leaf border, having to stop there and guessing the viscet went over the line and into Vine territory. "So that guy was a Vine." Jahi said, frowning. I can't believe it."

They went to Jahi's father, this time urging Ekon to listen, and with the damning evidence, the Vine were rejected and ignored. But it seems like the problem was not solved, not by a long shot. The packs had another meeting, this time about a grave robber. The packs all had the same burial ground, to represent how, in the end, they were equals, and the idea of someone digging up their ancestors infuriated all the packs. Senses tingling, went to the burial ground, coincidentally meeting another viscet, who was in the process of digging up a body. The three gave chase once again, and this time, managed to capture the viscet, who to their surprise was not from the Vine, but the Rain! And so with this, the Rain were rejected, and the Vine welcomed again, and Thyne was deemed an enemy.

And so this is a tale about justice, flawed fame, and a grave robber - a story you should never forget.

Good luck everyone! And sorry the ending is really rushed, I have no time management X3 If I win this amazing viscet, I'll continue
the story, but if not I'll definitely reuse Genova's personality. It's too good to waste.
