"Your balance will get better, don't worry." Taking a moment, FrostFlame soaks I the warmth as she watches her apprentice settling down. "Name the different kinds of prey" She meows suddenly, testing to see his quick thinking. It was important for him to at least know the basics, and she hoped he'd do well with this.

Sagepaw thought deeply again, his paws shifting in uncertainty. "knowing weather or not your opponent has stoppped running?" He mewed, his eyes not leaving the ground. She sure is asking hard questions. He thought to himself. Sagepaw was young and didn't know a lot of things still.

LightBringer nodded. "That is correct. It is important to keep track of your opponent if they run, and you need to be clever about how you attack them" She coached. "Now, I want you to try tackling me. It'll be a good chance to get your paws dirty while giving me an idea of where you need work on most. " The mentor me owed, getting to her paws and backing away a few paces.

sagepaws eyes grew wide. "Okay!" Excitement pulsed through him, his eyes glowing. His tail whipped through the air. He loved challenges, and for him to be able to do this with his Mentor made him bounce with joy. "So you run, and I follow?" He asked.

"Exactly. Keep your ears open! " LightBringer me owed enthusiastically. Turning, she bolted off through the trees, meandering her way through as best she could as her paws kicked up dirt. It was fast, but still slow enough for SagePaw to keep up.

Ghostpaw thinks for a slight moment. “Mice, birds, insects...” He thinks a little harder, failing to come up with any more prey. “I can’t think of any others FrostFlame, are there more?” He meows and stretches in the sun again.

The regal warrior shook her head. "Those are the basics, yes. Except for insects. Insects don't provide enough to be worth the effort of hunting them down. " She explains quietly. Getting to her paws, she crouches down, settling her weight into her hindquarters and going still. "Try to copy this" FrostFlame meows.

He attempts to replicate the pose she is doing. “What is this for FrostFlame?” The way he stands it makes it obvious he is applying too much pressure on the front paws. “Am I doing it right?”

FrostFlame sat up, and padded over to her apprentice. "It's your hunting position. You must master it if you expect to hunt well." With an expert eye, the warrior shifts GhostPaws body slightly so his weight is settled in his hind paws. "Carry your weight here. Not in the front" She explains.

Sagepaw danced on his paws and Light instructed him. "Okay! Im ready!" He mewed happily, his tail sticking straight in the air. As light began to run, sagepaw followed, kicking u dirt as he went. His nose was sniffing wildly.

LightBringer raced on for awhile longer before skidding to a stop, and turning to face her apprentice, ready to pounce. Her eyes glowed with mirth, and her tails flicked lazily back and forth. ( Brindlebriar)

Sagepaw pushed himself forward, his eyes darting from side to side, trying his best to keep track of his mentor. Up ahead of him, he could see that she had stopped and turned to face him. He puffed out his chest and braced himself for impact. he hit Lightbringer with a thud, knocking her over.

"Oof! " LightBringer toppled over with a thud, and lay there winded for a moment. "Nicely done! That was perfect! " She medley as she got up, stretching a bit and shaking the dirt from her pelt. A glow of pride shimmered in her eyes, and she playfully cuffed him over the ears. "Cmon.lets see your tracking skills. Lead us back to the training field!"

Snowpaw suddenly woke up. Looking outside, the white tom turned away at the sight of the rising sun. I was having such a good dream too! Burying his head in his fluffy fur, Snowpaw laid back down, hoping his father and his mentor would forget about him long enough to get some more rest.
Thistleblaze had less peaceful dreams, twitching and murmuring his mate's name throughout the night. At once, GulchClan's deputy jolted awake in a cold sweat, stifling a yowl in his throat. It was just a dream, Thistleblaze. Just a dream. Wearily getting up and exiting the Warriors' Den, Thistleblaze gazed at his sleeping clanmates as his thoughts wandered to the day's patrols. I'll have to find Frostflame and her apprentice and grab them to hunt. Seems they're the only other cats in the Clan who aren't sleeping in, he thought grumpily.
Dewfrost rose lazily out of his den, barely keeping back a loud yawn as he looked around. I wonder where Lightbringer went, he wondered as his gaze moved to her empty den. Finally giving up and yawning, the quirky tom padded outside to the center of the camp.

“How would I be able to work on it FrostFlame?” He asks. He sinks into the stance to help with muscle memory. “What can I do out of this stance? Would I be able to creep around, try and be sneaky?” He asks again, trying to walk while in the stance, still sunk in it. (Gulchclan)

"Climbing things is a great way to work on your balance. Just don't climb too high!" frostFlame meowed. Watching her apprentice sink into a crouch again, she nods aporovingly. "Better! Keep rpavticing that. Now, try to stalk forward lightly. Like your stalking a mouse. What's the difference between stalking a mouse and a bird, Ghostpaw? " She asks.

He thinks for a moment, acting as if he’s stalking prey. “Mice are on the ground...they’ll feel you move. Birds are in the air, they can hear high pitched noises so it’s important to move quietly...” He stalks a rock like a mouse, pouncing on it. “...silently if you can.”

[Hey guys, LightBringer, 🔻Puppydawg🔻, IceOwO, reyrey61924 I had to change Abyssclan's color to a lighter blue so that you could see it against the dark background.
Also, a friendly reminder to color code your texts so we can tell which clan your in. {If you on mobile, do what 🔻Puppydawg🔻 has done and kindly place which clan your cats are in above your roleplay text. ]

FrostFlame purrs, and nods her head. "Well done! A mouse will feel you before it hears you" She enforces that idea in his head. "Now, for a bird, move quickly, so that you paws are light" Dropping into a similar crouch as before, the mentor stalks forward on fast but silent paws.

Finally giving up and yawning, the quirky tom padded outside to the center of the camp. [IceOwO]-Dovespeck licked her paw and drew it over her face, her eyes barely staying open. She had not gotten much sleep last night, but she new that Snowpaw was her responsibility. She looked around the clearing in search of the young tom, yet sleepiness dragged at her paws. "snowpaw?" she called out, mid-yawn.[LightBringer]- Sagepaw grinned as his mentor praised him. he nodded his head and let his nose lead him back. Following his own scent trail was easy enough, except for when they got closer to the training hollow. He took a wrong turn and was leading them both away from where they were to be going.

For awhile LightBringer follows sagepaw, even once he makes a wrong turn. After a few tail lengths, she signals for them to stop. "You did very well, but we went a little off track. Your senses will get better the more you use them" Turning, the pretty she cat pads back the way they came, to where they took a wrong turn. "Try again, from here. Take your time" She coaches encouragingly.

SAgepaw let out aloud sigh, his head low. "poo." he mewed unhappily. He stuck his nose in the air and sniffed loudly, trying his best to find his way back to the training hollow. After a few unsure steps, Sagepaw finally brought them back to where they were supposed to be. He looked back and smiled at Light.

Snowpaw buried himself deeper into his fur, only to let out a huge yawn. His cover blown, the young apprentice begrudgingly got up and headed towards his mentor.
"Dovespeck! Good thing you're awake," Thistleblaze said, padding to the half-asleep warrior. "I want you to take Snowpaw to Frostflame and Ghostpaw at the training grounds and patrol the borders with them." After pausing for a second, he added "You can take your apprentices hunting on the way, if you'd like. They need some paws-on experience."
Dewfrost casually exited the camp, deciding he'd hunt on his own (or, at least, that would be his excuse). However, it wasn't long before he picked up the sounds of Lightbringer and Sagepaw in the training hollow. Eager for some company, Dewfrost walked towards the hollow.

"Well done sagepaw!" She purred happily. The apprentice was persistent, and smart and that made her happy to see him working so hard. "Now let's see how fast your reflexes are" Grinning, the mentor crouched, assessing the apprentice carefully to find the best plan of attack.

Sagepaw crouched down, his tail twitching. He watched his mentors every move carefully, as she was searching for the best place to attack him. He twitched his ears carefully.

LightBringers eyes stayed focused on his left shoulder, and she pounced. But instead of his left shoulder, the mentor aimed low, diving at sagepaws feet. Bundling him over into his side, she purrs as she turns to face him, preparing for a counter attack.
