"show me your battle moves, your goal is to defeat me in a mock battle, meaning no claws or biting" Frozenmarigold meowed crouching into afighting stance and grinned with a playful wink "give it your best and don't hold anything back! now let me hear your battle cry! lets begin!" Frozenmarigold Meowed in a serious but friendly tone

As Frozenmarigold verbally went over their next part and then dropped into a battle stance, Berrypaw remained standing upright a few seconds before she too lowered herself into a hesitant fighting crouch. See, this, out of all WindClan duties was the worst in Berrypaw's opinion. Fighting. Yes, she could kill prey with ease, she could even fight foxes or dogs if needed, but.. the concept of hurting other cats was just so difficult for her to turn over in her mind. But no, she had to do this, and hopefully Frozenmarigold would be fine. No claws were being used, anyway. Shaking her head, Berrypaw jerked forward in a lunge, attempting to do the front paw blow Fallownose had taught her. If this worked, it'd momentarily stun or disorient her assessor.

(oops, ment to reply sooner)
Frozenmarigold took the blow head on and wavered a bit before lashing out a paw to try to trip up the apprentice before swirling away out of reach. Frozenmarigold could tell this apprentice had quite the fighting spirit. she crouched, perparing for the next attack

As Berrypaw's paw slammed down on it's target, the speckled apprentice couldn't help but flinch at the contact. Harming cats was something she really had to get used to. As Frozenmarigold's paw shot out to trip her, Berrypaw stumbled a moment, but thankfully her assessor was no longer anywhere near her to inflict any damage. Rearing a few steps back on her own, the spotted damsel positioned herself momentarily infront of the sun, for when she leaped forward in an attempt to land squarely on Frozenmarigold's back, hopefully the sun would blind her opponent, even for a little while.
[ No worries, lol My replies are pretty delayed, anyway ]

Frozenmarigold startled at finding the apprentice on her back but smiled "a quick one and a good thinker you are" she meowed before slamming down her body and shoulder to the ground to hopefully remove the cat from her back.
Frozen didn't mind it of coarse, but this was a battle training test of sorts, to see what the apprentice had learned from their mentor or mentors, she knew not the case was for berrypaw, but knew it was none of her business

A gasp of surprise was all that followed as Frozenmarigold flipped both of them over, and Berrypaw lurched to the right a second before she was about to get crushed. However, because of her poor timing, she didn't get to angle her landing properly, and her left forearm buckled beneath her with the impact. A fresh spike of pain shot up the limb, momentarily stealing Berrypaw's breath as she tried to rise to her paws. Flipping the limb in question over, the speckled molly was met with the sight of a deep, long gash on the underside of her arm. In her earlier panic, she had barely noticed the vulture talons digging and tearing into her flesh while she flailed. And then instantly after that Berrypaw had been too dazed, then too distracted by this fighting part of the assessment.
Resting her bleeding front left leg tenderly back on the ground with a subtle wince, Berrypaw lowered herself into a defensive crouch. Hopefully she could hold out long enough for Frozenmarigold to consider the assessment over. All she had to do was keep avoiding hits now, because offense wouldn't work, not with the way she was injured.
[ Feel free to end this whenever you feel like Frozenmarigold deems it fit! ]

frozenmarigold stood straight up "i smell blood on you young one, perhaps its time to stop this assessment of battle skills. you did well young one, using the skill of a surprise attack" frozenmarigold meowed lowering her head to give the apprentice a good sniff

As Frozenmariold straightened, padding over to sniff at Berrypaw's bloody wound, the apprentice heaved a sigh of relief, gladly releasing the pent-up tension in her limbs. Turning over her left forearm once more, the speckled apprentice winced slightly at the wound that would surely scar. "Okay." She whispered softly, and then offered Frozenmarigold a hesitant smile. "Thank you. For helping me with this."
[ Just to be clear, has Berry passed by Frozen's standards? ]

Frozenmarigold Nodded "i think its High time you Became a Warrior, but once we get to camp young lady, i expect you to stop by Cowpaws Den to get that looked at. we can have our newest and finest warrior catching an infection now can we?" she playfully booped the apprentices nose "come, lets head back to camp"

With a quiet, silent nod of acceptance, Berrypaw hurried along at the fastest pace she could, limping ever-so-slightly. She'd passed her assessment! She would be a warrior soon, and just the thought of once more being denmates with her best friend made Berrypaw's heart swell with happiness.
