Ashley had decided to take a small walk, after depositing the still unconscious person onto a bed in the base. She heard barking and whipped around, thinking for a second that the source was behind her. It wasn't. That could mean one of two things: Poachers were around, or her friends were in danger. Ashley flew upwards, bursting through the canopy of leaves and pine needles. She looked around, searching for the danger. She saw Josh, hound pups, and two hounds growling and slowly closing in. She flew over to him and lit her hand on fire. This scared the pups and seemed to agitate the adult hounds even more. Sighing, she dimmed it a little. "Looks like we're on their territory," She stated the obvious.
