Thunderpaw padded towards the elders den. He had been assigned nest duties. He groaned, this was the worst. Hookjaw wa so grumpy and nest duties were so boring.

Hookjaw's ear flicked at the sound of someone approaching. It better be one of the apprentices, he thought grouchily. My nest has been in need of changing for days!

"Mentors are only supposed to pull that 'trick' when their confident in their apprentice's abilities." Mooncliff curled his tail over his paws. "I'm actually surprised that Batecho did it to you this early, I guess she has more faith in you than I thought." He took a deep breath. "You weren't warned because if you knew it was going to happen, you wouldn't have felt that fear of losing your clanmate. The purpose of the exercise is to strengthen the bond between you and your Clan in how you worry and look out for each other, not drive a wedge because of your wounded pride." "If you're going to insult me, do it. I love my clan. It's all I have left. And I get it, I do, but if something had happened to her, I'd have never forgiven myself. Don't accuse me of self-pity. You want me to get back up and hop around all happily. Fine." Canyonpaw surged upwards, looking at Mooncliff. "I'm not moping. I have a right to be upset for a while. I don't appreciate this training, no matter how much you think I should." He shoved past the deputy to find his mentor again.

Thunderpaw paused a few steps away. He spoke. "Hookjaw? I'm here to clean your nest." He spoke politely.

Lichentail swallowed, replying quickly and carefully. "They're doing well. Fennelkit's started outrunning her brother." Soaringstar waited until Owlpaw was on his back, before he instructed. "Put all your strength into your legs, and burst off with a deep leap on my back." (fox you missed this)

Mooncliff flattened his ears. "No one appreciates that kind of training, Canyonpaw!" He called after the apprentice. "But its something we all have to go through!"
Batecho was eating a bat near the warrior's den.
Hookjaw let out a "Hmph! It's about time!" He lifted his head and looked over at Thunderpaw. "Once you're done you can help me get rid of my fleas!"

"Aye aye! Hear you loud and clear!" Canyonpaw called back, padding up to Batecho and looking strongly at her. "I'm still mad at you...but I understand why it was important. Just, tell me we don't have to do that again. The last thing I want is to get tested about danger at the Bonebreak Cliffs by you pushing me off when I'm not looking." He sighed.
"I get that the clan gets closer with that kind of danger, but there also has to be trust, and that can't happen if you use fear for every lesson."

Batecho flickered her, she didn't even look up from her bat. "I expect you to be mad, Canyonpaw, that's a hard lesson. I can assure you, there will be no more lessions like that one." Her face fell stern. "Bone break cliffs is not a place I will openly take you. You are far too young and underskilled to go there. If you'd like, we can return to training or you can eat and rest, your choice."

"I want to train because I don't wallow in self-pity." Canyonpaw huffed, giving a light glare. "But maybe this time with something that I can trust you for afterwards? I don't see the other apprentices getting put through this, and I can help my clan withouf being scared into it, okay?"

Batecho was eating a bat near the warrior's den. Hookjaw let out a "Hmph! It's about time!" He lifted his head and looked over at Thunderpaw. "Once you're done you can help me get rid of my fleas!" Thunderpaw had to hold his tongue for fearing he'd snap at the old elder. "Yes Hookjaw.." he sighed before moving to claw the moss together.

Batecho got up. "I told you we were going to do battle training in the caves, Canyonpaw, I can't guarantee you won't get scared."
Hookjaw snorted. "Now hurry up!"

"Then let's battle train, not run off. I was ready then for that, not for some fear lesson. I'm not scared of caves or battle training in caves, okay?" Canyonpaw sighed in annoyance, just wanting to train like a normal apprentice.

Batecho flattened her ears and narrowed her eyes at her apprentice, but she didn't say anything, she only headed back toward the caves.

Canyonpaw moved back towards the caves, feeling a faint trickle of distrust, but hope that he'd at least learn some actually good moves. Batecho was a skilled warrior, and he knew that, and that was what he wanted to focus on. Not tricks. He asked. "Why the caves so much? Most of the territory is outside the caves. And so are the predators!"

Thunderpaw let out a short growl. "Yes Hookjaw." He spoke in annoyance. He could only go so fast. He moved to gather the moss to dispose.
Owlpaw moved to leap off Soaringstar, pushing as hard as she could with her paws.

Soaringstar grinned at the execution, feeling a strain from Owlpaw's first attempt. It would of course need more practice, but it was a good first practice. He nodded. "Good! You catch on fast. Try it a few more times to get a good burst in your leaps." He instructed.

"The caves are just as important to the clan as the rest of the territory." Batecho didn't even look back at him. "They offer protection and prey. Should something happen in the camp, the caves would be our fall back. However, you can still run into predictors in the caves. They extend throughout the mountain. Knowing how to fight in them could turn a battle to your favor should you ever lead an enemy into one."

"Okay." Canyonpaw nodded, satisfied by that answer and letting his body adjust to the caves and the darkness again. His paws twitched as he remained aware for any noises or scents. He asked his mentor. "What moves do I need to know?"

"Okay." Canyonpaw nodded, satisfied by that answer and letting his body adjust to the caves and the darkness again. His paws twitched as he remained aware for any noises or scents. He asked his mentor. "What moves do I need to know?" "the moves are basically the same, it's executing them that's the challenge." Batecho flicked her tail. "Come at me, Canyonpaw."

Canyonpaw paused, before he felt a wave of excitement at the prospect of battle training. He lunged towards his mentor, paws extending.
