Golden Glade Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Aspen looked alarmed and was still trying to assess the situation. She was thinking to much and clearly she was no hope when it came to the bear aspect of things. Her attention wavered though as all of a sudden Ayla rose and went to attack the bear again but was knocked to the ground once more and had it not been for Charley the bear could easily have killed Ayla. Though, there was now more damage done to her king as she noticed the wounds not only on his shoulder but now on his face and ear. At least the bear was dealt with now. She thought taking a look at the heep of fur and once power lay there motionless.

She noticed Shalon looking rather sorry for herself as she let out a whimper because she hadn't been able to prevent the bear from attacking the king again. Aspen quickly trotted over noting that Heartha had gone to aid Ayla. Aspen knew she was needed here more and that Ayla was in good hands. 

Aspen gave a sympathetic glance to Shalon and then more of a reassuring nudge as she walked past as if to say. You tried you're best, dont stress about it too much. Aspen then came to the side of her mate who was laying on the ground barely able to move. She was joined by Skeet and they both began to groom him but as Aspen took a moment to assess the damages closer she too let out a soft whine because seeing her mate like this was heartbreaking. "Charley..." she said quietly before beginning to lick his wounds trying to bury her emoitions deep down. Now was not the time to cry.
