Re: ThunderClan Territory
@Trickster~
Morningblue ran through the woods of Thunderclan territory. The brisk leaf fall air blowing through his fur. He felt alive out here. Alive and free, the master of the vast forest his clan called home. He kept his ears pricked as he ran, listening to make sure his new apprentice was keeping up, and careful to keep his speed at a level she'd be able to handle. She may have energy and spirit, but this was her first time out of camp. Powerful, lean muscles pushed him on, and at last when they began to close in on the Shadowclan border, he slowed to a trot, the thick and sickly sweet smell of the pine trees burning his nostrils. @Trickster~ Bumpalicous definitious |

(( Well, that happens sometimes, it’s fine c: )) Ratpaw was curled up in a ball when she had heard Palethunder. The apprentince wanted to look as though she was lost in sleep, but she felt as though that didn’t work. She didn’t feel like hunting today, or really doing anything. She had lost a bit of her ear during the battle. It was just a small scratch, however, it hurt like hell. However, that wasn’t as bad as when she had first gotten that nip on the ear. She didn’t know why it had taken off the ear though. It was probably her being stupid, like always. The battle had added to her already low self-esteem, making it slightly lower than normal. Seeing cats battling and falling around you, just to walk out of the battle with one or two scars made her feel worthless. If she couldn’t even help in a battle, what worth was she to her clan? Thinking that made her think of when she had heard Palethunder, and she forced herself out of her nest, walking around the few reaming sleeping bodies. “I’m up for a hunt!” She said, slightly excited, wanting to seem excited. She actually was excited, as hunting was always something that she loved to do. At least that was easier than attacking another cat. Hunting was easy, there wasn’t much too it, at least, there wasn’t too much to it for her anyways. “Let’s go!” She whispered excitedly, her mood changing awfully quickly. This was another thing she saw as normal, and didn’t let it bother her. She tried to move out of the den as quick as possible, not wanting to disturb anyone else. She was always willing to get up when someone woke her up, however, she had met some cats that weren’t exactly kind when they were woken up. She didn’t think any less of those cats of course, however, they did scare her a bit early in the morning. Now she was just waiting for Palethunder, her green eyes waiting with a slight bit of anxiety. |

Purplepaw stepped into the training cave, she was hoping her new mentor might be better at fighting than her old mentor Hunting is for Windclanners since they are scared of rabbits and shadows. Thunderclanners fight. She licked her paw awaiting her mentor’s arrival, she saw a cat enter the training cave, she glanced at them They aren’t strong,rather old actually. I hope I don’t kill them in battle training, which I pressume old cats like...or worse we only hunt and never fight due to his age. @Queenie Redpaw stepped into the training cave Leafstorm better not be a soft kittypet of a mentor, or I’ll destroy him like I destroyed Appledawn....she cowers when she sees me, Leafstorm will be cowering unless I like them. I’ll give them one training opportunity before I’ll begin destroying them... |
Re: ThunderClan Training Cave
@Okapi (Sorry :3 I’m at school till 9 tonight)
Leafstorm followed his new apprentice into the clearing. He was sure he’d caught glimpses of the young Tom at the dark forest which oddly both excited Leaftstorm and terrified him. Although the brooding warrior would never admit to his feat. However he had no clue who Redpaws dark forest mentor was, they could be one of the most powerful cats down there. And that would make Leadstorm look weak. But Leafstorm had asked specifically for Redpaw to mentor for this very reason, after Quakepaw had destroyed Leafstorms reputation by being soft, the Tom was ready to rid himself of her. Leafstorm looked on at his apprentice sizing him up. He could tell through the toms narrowed eyes that Redpaw was evaluating his mentor as well |

The cedar colored tom wasn't exactly small, however his muscles had weakened with the moons he'd lived, and the fur around his muzzle was tinged with grey. He was still huge for a cat, with massive paws and sharp amber eyes. "I assume you already know who I am but...My name is Cedarsun." He eyed her, almost with a suspicious glare. "Now," he gestured with his forepaw at her, "show me what you can do." He meant battle moves wise. He knew kits were more interested in fighting than they were with catching prey, so he might as well start there. He knew that she had had a mentor before him, but frankly, he knew he must've been replaced for a reason. |

The dark tom muzzle twisted into a menacing frown. He looked on at the young cat as if he were a newborn kit. Weak, and small. So pitifully inexperienced in this world. Leafstorm scowled, "talk like that again and I'll make sure your placed with a new mentor, who's scared of you. Perhaps thats what you want to strike down you enemies with fear. But a warrior is only as good as their teacher...." He let his words sink in and then added, "if you had a bad mentor before.... I guess we have a lot of work to do. Leafstorms tail switched in annoyance with the juvenile, but he also found a smirk forming on his face. Perhaps Redpaw could already be a good fighter, but its the strongest warriors that always need more common sense. |

Leafstorm nodded curtly, aware of Redpaw's murmurs. His tail swished and tucked under his pitch black paws as the tall tom sat down of the dusty forest floor. "Tell me Redpaw." Leafstorm cleared his that and licked his chest a few times to display that he really didn't care what happened at the practice. How much they learned was up to the apprentice himself. "Have you ever met a dog?" The question was absurd. Leafstorm wasn't expecting the apprentice would. It would be a good opener to the lesson, and eventually... the test. |

Leafstorm's dull yellow eyes narrowed in suspicion, but the tom didn't ponder on Redpaw's secrecy for long. He started to scan the horizon for something he could..... yes! Leafstorm trotted over to a corner in the clearing. A large, blue-gray rock sat deeply imbedded into the ground. He pushed on it a few times with the side of his body to make sure it was stationary. It was, of course.. "Redpaw..." he clicked his tongue thinking more. "This rock is you opponent. I want you to use a 'front paw blow' on it." Leafstorm stared at the apprentice crudely. He hoped giving the young tom such an easy target would lower his self esteem. |

Tigerdawn blinked. “It’s alright. I’ll protect you. That’s part of my job as a mentor. To train you and protect you. There’s no need to be scared, I promise I won’t let anything hurt you.” |
Re: ThunderClan Training Cave
@russet
Birdsong's tail twitched, "Thornpaw! Wake up, we don't have all day!" He called. This was his first apprentice, he suggested that battle training would be good. He had a blank expression on his face, not giving much emotion. He suppose he'll see what Thornpaw already knew and what he needed to work on, maybe they would get to learn a few new moves. Birdsong was just taking it at a decent speed, it was pretty early in the morning. However he always woke up early in the morning, the wind nip at his fur. Shivering a little. When would that apprentice awake? Growing impatient, Birdsong poke his nose and some of his face into the den. "WAKE UP!" Birdsong called, again but maybe a bit too loud. Some of the apprentices stir, some giving him strange looks. Birdsong shrugged it off like it was nothing, he was use to them by now. You could barely see the color of his fur, the stripes gave him away mostly. (Short, sorry!) |

Kestrelpaw stepped into camp, a couple of squirrels hung from his jaw. As he set down the prey in the fresh kill pile he stopped a cat he hadn't spoken to in a while. The sandy feline shared the same name as him but they didn't talk that much, in fact, they hadn't spoken since they first met. The tom had already been on patrol that day, trained and just finished hunting s he figured this was the best time for conversation. Even if Kestrelpaw wanted to go hunting or something that wouldn't really bother him having to do it a second time. He trotted over to Kestrelpaw, "Hey there! We haven't spoken in a while. How are you?" He asked as he bowed in head in greeting |

Leafstorm nodded slowly, he was impressed the move could use work, just as everything could, but for an apprentice his age he was doing nicely. However the warrior would not let his apprentice see this satisfaction.Today was about anger, and Leafstorm had yet to find what made this apprentice tick. Although he suspected he was close. "No." Leafstorm sighed. "Faster, and harder. You think a trained warrior would wait around for you to just bring your paw down on their head? No!" The warrior spat. By now you'd be clinging onto the floor for dear life as you opponent dragged your tiny body across the border and into enemy territory!" Leaftstorm started to pace, trying to insert anxiety into the apprentice. Rapid movement worked like this. "Again!" He commanded. |

"In a way, yes," Fernglow chuckled. He had thought the same thing when he was an apprentice. To demonstrate, Fernglow padded heavily over to Kestrelpaw, paw steps echoing off of the walls. He lowered himself into a battle crouch, so that he was around Kestrelpaw's height. "So this is the crouch, and I put can be used in many way. Most cats will use this to prepare for an attack, leap off of their legs to get to their opponent, or even to defend their bellies in a desperate situation. Got it?" Fernglow couldn't help but fear he was pressing too much information on his apprentice at once, but it was all on one topic. That should be okay. |

Tigerdawn nodded. "I remember her death." She meowed as she looked into the territory. The warrior turned back to her apprentice. "Don't worry. No badger will get to you." |

Sorry? Sorry didn't work anymore. Stormwing had been sorry in her life before, but sorriness couldn't change anything. It didn't bring cats back. But here was Leafwatcher, alive, and... well... she couldn't be that angry. She could only be careful now. "It's fine. You don't owe me anything. I don't want it." She didn't want an explanation. For her, that was just an excuse. For a while, it hadn't been in the silver tabby's nature to have spirit, but this was definitely bringing it back quickly. She wished she could shout at him, be angry with him, tell him exactly what she thought of him running off and disappearing, but for once... she just felt defeated. This kind of thing didn't happen every day, yet Stormwing was losing cats on what felt like a daily basis. It didn't matter anymore... it couldn't matter anymore... she was just going to have to get used to it. She would be careful around Leafwatcher, because she knew he could disappear again at any second and then her heart would be fractured again. She'd just have to pretend like she didn't care, or - or something. "Alright." Was her one-word answer. There was a definite air of carelessness around her now, because the tabby was doing her best not to care. If something happened again - this time she would be emotionally prepared. This time she wouldn't break down. This time, the she cat would be the opposite of a mess... she would be ready. And she would never lose another friend again, because she would never have one to lose - everyone had to be expendable to her. Because for whatever reason, it seemed her luck had been the hardest of all lately. |

Halfkit was shocked. What had just happened? Maybe they had been saved! Or maybe it was a dog trying to eat them. He still had his eyes closed, terrified of what was happening. He almost silently whispered, Hello? |

(Yeah lol sorry, I actually wanted them to go hunting for a dog later and see if he could fight it XD Cuz Leafys a bad boy) ----- Leafstorm nodded taking notice in the way Redpaws claw bent awkward outwards. The tom nodded with satisfaction. With swift movement he cuffed his tail towards a small ball of moss and with ease tossed it to his apprentice. "Clean yourself up now. You can't let injuries get to you." Leafstorm tensed at his own stab wound when the thought breached his mind. The seasoned warrior had been in many fights but the Dark Forest always gave him the worst scrapes. His eyes closed briefly as he remembered the yowling of his mentor, as a young apprentice stumbling upon the shadowy reaches the afterlife for the first time. He awkwardly nodded with approval at his apprentice, "you've done well today Redpaw." He puffed out his chest careful not to say I'm proud. Redpaw didn't deserve that yet. However, it was far more praise than Quakepaw had ever received. Leafstorm scowled at the thought of her. Redpaw was a much better cat than her. And Leafstorm was determined to make him better. |

Palethunder peered in the den for a longer moment. He was begining to doubt any apprentices would muster enough strength to actually get up and do something proactive, which was frustrating but he couldn't deny the fact it was true of himself at that age. He almost leapt straight up when he heard an excited meow from the deep of the den. With the warm thought of his apprenticeship and a slight jump the Tom cracked a small smile and warm feeling flowed through his Body and he suppressed a small purr. Than he stepped aside to let the little she cat pass him and pad out towards the exit. He merely looked over his shoulder at her before remembering he was supposed to follow her out. He turned and padded out after her tail lashing as the brisk air and appreciation of one of the best performing apprentices. No other would volunteer to get up at the crack of dawn to hunt for prey which may or may not be awake. As they broke through the watchful eye of clanmates and bled into the foliage ahead he finally spoke up. "Thanks for coming out, you never find apprentices like you anymore" he said with a slight smile. He heaved a heavy breath and relaxed, his shoulders coming loose by his sides as he padded alongside the apprenitce. "Hey, I didn't catch your name?" said the Tom as he looked over his shoulder at her expectantly. |

Ratpaw saw how excited the warrior had gotten, and forced down a small laugh. She didn’t see warriors that excited very often. She was happy she was able to do that, and that perked her up slightly. Despite never ever really being fully happy, she loved to see other cats happy. It just made her feel better for some reason. Had he been waiting a long while? She couldn’t tell. She had been waiting in silence, pondering her own thoughts when she heard the warrior speak again. She automatically perked to attention, shrugging. “Well, it is somewhat early,” she admitted. She had never really been that egar to get up early. But hey, it it made someone happy, it made everything worth it. “My name?” She asked, blinking, “It’s...uh...” She was tempted to lie for a moment. She had never really liked her name. “It’s Ratpaw,” she said awkwardly. “And, forgive me, what’s your name?” She added, tilting her head slightly. She was pretty good with names, and connecting them to faces, but sometimes she screwed up. She’d just prefer if someone told her, and spared her from all the awkwardness of saying the wrong name. |

Re: ThunderClan Territory
@starfall Mossdrop had lost her son. Her favorite son, precious son. The nightmare she had a few days ago was real. She had been having having nightmare about this for the past few days. She was a mess. Bags under her eyes and all. Things had not been fun for her, the past few days. Her black mackerel tabby tail draped over her paws as she stared at the place. The place where she broke Nightcry. She wished she wasn't... the cat she was when she did. Losing her son, had snapped her out of her trance, thats what she thought of it. A trance. And doing all this.. was for her siblings, who weren't even alive anymore. Amberwish was dead, Fennelnose had disappeared, and was probably dead by now. She was proud of her sister, even though.. while in her trance, had a fit of jealousy. She missed them both, and wished she didn't get that stupid.. mentor, and accept that stupid chance. It only made her life worse. Her yellow optics looked around nervously, her tail curled tightly around herself, ears pinned against her head. Then, she relaxed. She hoped things would get better. |

Tigerdawn smiled. "Yes. I was very scared." She purred as she recalled her first timed away from camp. "I remember a leaf landed on my head and I freaked out. I stumbled into bramble bushes. Gosh, I was a mess back then." |
