I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day.

She was following orders. No leaving designated pack areas without an escort. Bramble could easily listen to her parents without getting into trouble. There was no way in any shape or form that the young pup was looking for trouble at all that day. Nope, not one bit. All she was doing was wandering along the Starlit Plains on a little patrol. The weather was beautiful. A calm albeit chilly breezy rolled in off the shore and had the grass around her waving as if it were a flag. Off in the distance, she could see the castle where shadows of wolves moved about. On the far side, she could just barely see the tops of the trees among the grove. Closest to her, just over the boundary edge of the plains, her bright teal eyes could see the crumbling ruins. God's Garden is what it had been called. Her father had explicitly explained that that area was the cutoff to her safe boundaries. Not a single step closer or if she were to be caught, she would be in even deeper trouble. Not particularly wanting to find out what her father would have in store for her, Bramble minded her business. Strolling with that carefree puppy smile, she chattered to Bristle and Berry. See, Berry was her fisher who enjoyed sitting on her shoulder and Bristle was her raven who liked to flutter in the wind above them. Both companions and guardians for the pup, Bramble felt safe with them around. Content and distracted by her afternoon patrol, Bramble was soon torn away when a high-pitched sound carried to her. Both of her ears pressed forward as her muzzle turned in the direction of the noise. Her whole body froze in motion with one paw raised as she hesitated. Unsure if that was a scream for help, the pup didn't want to disobey orders again. A few seconds later, another scream lit the air causing a flock of birds to scatter. Bristle came fluttering down as Berry snuggled into the scruff of her shoulders. Both of them were giving her the mind your business looks, but how could she? Wouldn't her parents want her to do the right thing? She should at least call for help... A third scream followed by a nasty snarling noise made the pace of her heart quicken. "Sorry dad," she whispered as she took off toward the sound. "Go get him or someone to come help," Bramble called up to Bristle who quickly swooped around and headed straight back for the castle. The distance wasn't far as she jumped over the deteriorating stone and avoided bushes with thorns on them. Arriving on the scene, Bramble assessed from a distance. What looked to be a pink girl smaller than herself was being cornered by a very large and angry-looking badger. While the girl didn't look too scared, Bramble could tell she needed help. "Oh someone please get here soon," the girl muttered to herself as she picked up a rock and threw it at the badger. 511/1500
