(Aspenswirl hits - and KILLS - the badger for 5 damage!)
Aspenswirl
HP: 4
Aspenswirl took the blow from the badger, almost gladly, so long as it was damage away from his apprentice. He continued to slash and bite and yowl at the badger. Could he bring any attention from LostClan's camp? He continued to fight the beast, even after it stopped fighting back. It wasn't for many minutes later, when Aspenswirl's energy gave out entirely. The badger's eyes had rolled back in its skull and a deep wound in its throat showed evidence of its demise.
After a few moments, Aspenswirl found it in him to drag himself to Thymepaw, who was still breathing, but barely conscious. Picking the apprentice up by his scruff, the mentor dragged him back towards LostClan.
The badger didn't do me in, but his parents might. At least they got to return at all, to see their loved ones again.
