The air was still cold when she woke up. She laid up against a tree and Lewis joined her not too long after she had settled down. The two eventually retreated to the thicket to rest. Several hours later, the doe woke to water droplets beading off her coat. Lewis was gone. The doe stood up and wandered out into the rain. She stumbled across Alchemilla with Chevalier and another small fawn, a third fawn stood nearby. While standing conversing with Alchemilla, the third fawn came up behind Aspen and nipped her. The doe jumped forward and examined her rump. Perfect little teeth marks were indented in her fur. The two little fawns got up in an attempt to play with the third fawn. Aspen stayed near Alchemilla.

Woke up in the thicket to find the rain has moved on. There was still a bite to the air. The doe got up and went for a walk to stretch her stiff legs. She stumbled on Zombie, whom she hadn't seen for a while. They greeted each other and wandered around. A little fawn came up to them and the three end up running around the forest together. The group eventually stumbled on Alchemilla and two fawns. Aspen and Zombie laid with them and the fawn went their separate way.

Found Feeon, Alchemilla, Cennétig, and Chevalier and laid with them. Cennétig got up to greet a stag who found the group. The stag acted aggressive towards Cennétig. Aspen went over in hopes of breaking up the fight, but ended up chasing the stag around with Cennétig. He eventually left and everyone settled down again. Anpiel found their way to them and brought a friend, Crescent. Jonah and Kokabiel arrived a short time later. Aspen noticed that Feeon started acting strange and when she looked around she saw Allu standing on a hill. The doe got to her feet and put herself in front of Feeon. Anpiel went to approach Allu but Aspen called him back and he hid beside Feeon. Allu went after the group, circling. Jonah and Aspen were on their toes watching him. Jonah led the attack, Aspen followed through with Crescent joining in. Alchemilla gathered the fawns together while the three fought off Allu. After a few minutes of chasing and fighting, Allu backed off but Jonah wanted to make sure Allu was far away and gave chase. Aspen followed him. The two chased Allu past the pond and stopped and watched him run towards the gods statues. They went back to the group and Aspen checked Feeon and Anpiel over. The tension eventually eased and the group settled down. The sweat and dirt from the fight and chased matted her thick winter coat. The doe cannot wait for her winter coat to shed. She always looks more horse like with the amount of hair she grows during the winter. Spring should be nearing, she can feel it.

Aspen met up with Lewis, whom she found laying with Tristan. The doe greeted Tristan and laid down next to her son. Tristan eventually wandered off and Lewis fell asleep. Aspen found her daughter a short time later and led her to Alchemilla, Tristan and another deer. The two laid together for a while. Feeon eventually sneaked away. Lewis eventually went after his sister while Aspen tried to give them some time to explore on their own. But worry got the best of her and she got closer to where her son, daughter, and Kokabiel were. She laid down within ear shot away from them, near the big oak. Admittedly, she tried but she was unable to get over the anxiety of the young ones being alone after the fight a week ago and went up and laid with them. Zombie found his way to them and laid with them. A while later, Alchemilla found them and everyone started dancing. Feeon laid down after a while and everyone joined her while Kokabiel left to explore. Anpiel found his way to the group a short time later.

After laying low for several days to recover, the doe's leg felt good enough to take a stroll on. She stumbled upon Alchemilla and her daughter, Chevalier. Aspen laid with them, taking the stress of her body off her leg. Later, she heard the calls of her son, Lewis. A few minutes later, Lewis showed up leading Anpiel to the trio.

Aspen noticed Feeon acting strange towards a nearby deer, Allu. Allu then attacked the group. Aspen tried to fight back, but the little body of Allu was agile. Aspen persisted, chasing the mini around landing blows where she could. Zombie also helped, but tried to stay close to Feeon to protect her. Sustained some cuts and bruises during the fight and her left front knee twisted slightly. After chasing Allu a distance away, Aspen returned Zombie and Feeon. Zombie led them back to the mushroom circle. Feeon was shaken, Aspen was angry. A while later, he came back and lingered near the group.

01/13/2019

Woke up to another day in the forest. Found her son, Lewis, and laid with him. Once Lewis was fast asleep, the doe slipped off for a drink with her fawn safe in a thicket. While wading into the pond, her front right hoof slipped, twisting her leg. Stumbled upon a small group of deer, two stags, a fawn, and a small doe. Settled down next to the group near the gods. Eventually slipped into a deep sleep. Awoke to find herself alone. She made her way back to the thicket where her son was still asleep. Settled down beside him and let herself slip away.

Feeon and Lewis slept close to each other with the third fawn laying near. Aspen watched over the fawns.
