[@LadyRunic][@BlackPanther][@shylarah][@Prince of Seraphs][@Ojo chan 42] okay I was writing up a post and had an idea! I'm not sure how it would work, but as far as Lyra getting sick how about she is poisoned? See there is a poem I LOVE (not sure why I didn't think of it sooner) called "Goblin Market". In it two sisters are by a river and hear goblins peddling fruits. One sister wants the fruit because it looks and smells amazing, but her sister warns her : "we must not look at goblin men, we must not buy their fruits, who knows upon what soil they've fed, their hungry thirsty roots?" Her sister ignores her and buys fruit with a lock of her hair. The fruit is delicious but she finds that she can't eat anything but their fruit. She wastes away nearly to death because once you buy from the goblins you can never see or hear them again. She is only saved when her sister risks her life, getting beaten viciously by the goblins, to get her another fruit which she eats and is cured. What if, because she knows Falk will unfreeze her heart, Arys decides to wants revenge before she has her heart and feelings back. So she attacks Feoras' heart : Lyra. She somehow (need to figure this out) sends a goblin with fruit to Summer and gets Lyra to eat it under the guise of a gift. Lyra eats it and is poisoned by the fruit, becoming gravely ill. And the only hope for an antidote is Spring. What do you think?
