Golden Glade Amaaaaaaaaaaaazing Grace, How Sweeeeeeeeet The Sound

Aspen frowned as the pups appeared to have followed her though Hawthorn had not. She couldn't help but wonder if he would be alright all by himself in there but it would not be a smart idea for her to leave this ceremony now. 

The queen's eyes narrowed and she let out a low growl at Tiger's comments. She couldn't blame the wolf for not knowing better but her comment was not appreciated either. The fae picked her up by the scruff and placed the russet girl between her paws. 

Aspen glanced to rose who innocently questioned if the fae was sleeping and the queen listened as Alder rather bluntly explained she was not sleeping but in fact dead. Aspen cringed internally as that was not how she would have explained it to a almost 2 month old, but at the same time. They had to learn some day.  Aspen nudged Rose and her brother closer to her making sure Tiger and Rowan didn't start beating eachother up or something.  

Aspen then let her mind return to the task at hand. The burial of Estelle. Alder spoke explaining the gist of what had happened to Estelle and as he finished the queen began to speak. "Estelle was a key member of the court as are the rest of you unfortunately her journey here with us came to an end and she will begin a new life with various other wolves in the afterlife. May she forever rest in peace," Aspen stated dipping her head in sorrow and letting her eyes fall closed. Though Aspen had not known the female well, any loss to the pack was significant.
