rookfires ambush lesson with hawkbite lay back a while. he’d taken the time to practice it on his own every once in a while. it wasn’t really hard to find the time, not when he had already gotten into the habit of practicing his stealth wherever he went. perhaps that was something he’d never quite shed. the first few insecure moons spent trying his absolute best to catch up to the other apprentices and warriors that had practiced this their whole life, who seemed to have a special talent for turning into a shadow itself.

still, it wasn’t like he was particularly bad, just not born and raised in shadowclan. that was it. anyhow, like any sane warrior, rook didn’t immediately run to teach the first apprentice he saw the skill he himself had barely just learnt. itd been long enough by now though and yarrowpaw had just completed her hunting training the day before so there was really no time better than now.

”yarrowpaw, lets continue with your training hm?”

rookfire went through all the steps he usually did, only this time, he intentionally took the apprentice far into the territory. out to where the canopy filtered the sun and it was permanently colder than in camp, particularly harshly so during leafbare.

”you’ve learned how to hunt prey. but prey is not all we need to know how to track down. we’ll look at ambush today, ‘s practically like hunting and stealth combined, except your prey is a lot smarter than the average bunny” the large tom opened, pacing back and forth in the small clearing.

”what do you think is most important for ambush? n what do you have to worry about more when it’s a cat rather than prey”
