SkyClan Training Plateau

[Moon Lily]

Eaglepaw stalked into the clearing, pouncing at falling leaves and mrrowing with amusement as he tried to catch them. He continued to jump atound, but then tripped and rolled over, down to the bottom of the training clearing. He shifted in pain as a throb took over his back.
"Ow... " Eaglepaw rubbed his head with one of his paws, still on his backside. "Milkywillow? Hello?" Eaglepaw called, attempting to stand up, but then slipping down again.

Milkywillow pawed through silently to the plateau. Her ears perked as she heard her name called. “Eaglepaw? I’m here!” she shouted, trotting to the apprentice. “Today we will be doing some battle training.” Milkywillow decided she would do a basic introduction. “Let’s start with the simple paw swipe.” She meowed. “Did you ever watch the warriors as a kit? It is the simplest move I can think of currently.” Milkywillow watched the apprentice before demonstrating. “Watch carefully.” She crouched,her claws seathed,quickly jutting her arm out then swiftly in agian. “Will you try that?” Milkywillow asked her apprentice.

Eaglepaw nodded. He observed the quick arm movements of his mentor, his ears perked and head tilted. He had indeed seen warriors move like this from the nursery, usually followed by a more complicated move. "Like this?" The apprentice asked, darting his paw in swiftly in and out, and from observing his mentor, with claws safely sheathed.

Milkywillow watched her apprentice to give carful help but, Eaglepaw was doing great so far. “Can you try that nine more times just to see if you have it down ?” Milkywillow asked. She thought about what she was going to train next while watching her apprentice. “Let’s try to learn two more things if we can.” Milkywillow said calmly. “I want you to do each of these 10 times if you get it right the first time. The second move is the back kick,” Milkywillow meowed. She crouched like she was looking for her opponent when she felt her “opponent” was close enough she put all her weight in her front legs and shot out with her back legs. “Can you try that?” She asked

"Okay!" Eaglepaw replied cheerfully. He swiped his paw up, down, in, out, and across. He repeated this over and over, to satisfy his mentor and himself. He looked at her curiously when she suggested the leg kicks. "Like this?" He asked, tending himself then kicking his legs out, out his front paws weren't weighted well enough, and he felt himself fall into his underbelly. "Ouch" He mewed, surprised. "Can you help me so it?" Eaglepaw pleaded.

Milkywillow tried to hide her amusement when he fell onto his underbelly. “Of course I can help you,” She meowed as she stuck a stable leg under Eaglepaws front legs. It wasn’t her best tactic but it would do for now. “Go on and try it now.” The warriors ears perked and pointed toward the apprentice. You can balance him,you can balance him. She though in her head over and over agian. Her tail stuck straight out behind her not moving to keep her balance and his.

Eaglepaw smiled gratefully, and stood up. He put his paws on her paw, and kept them there, firmly. He got ready, and then flung out his home legs. "I feel like I'm flying!" He squealed, feeling his legs in midair. They thudded down clumsily back to their usual position. " Was that good? Was it? " Eaglepaw mewed excitedly, bouncing up and down.

Milkywillow smiled at Eaglepaws enthusiasm and meowed “That was great. As you practice more,the landing will be easier.” She looked around and said “Now practice that a few more times with my leg under you and then I’ll have you try it on your own alright?” Milkywillow has Eaglepaw do that three more times then she removed her leg and meowed. “Go on,try it” Her eyes stared at the apprentices body as she watched him try it. Her ears perked as she heard a bird in the distance. Right,tomorow I’ll teach him hunting. “That was a great job. Let’s head to camp and I’ll teach you hunting tomorrow okay?” The molly headed toward camp and turned around. “I’ll race you” She meowed “3,2,1 GO!” The molly started to sprint toward camp but slowed down enough to give him lead.

Eaglepaw was feeling confident by the time Milkywillow let her leg go back. He kicked his mind legs up, mewing in amusement as he felt himself 'fly' and snapped them back into place again. "Yay!" He mewed. As she told him they'd be hunting, he felt his heart leap. Yes! He steadied his muscles for the race home. "Ruuuunnnnnn!" He yowled, plunging forwards, and knocking over almost everything in his path. He thudded into camp. " Did I win? " Eaglepaw asked intently..

The molly smiled and meowed. “You did.” Milkywillow motioned got him to go into camp and relax a little. I should hunt agian Milkywillow legs were warmed up enough to hunt at least five birds. She took one last glance at Eaglepaw and bounded away into the forest to hunt some birds.
