Primrosepaw
Fast Learner Tier 1 - 21 / 100
The blow sent the apprentice reeling, though the RiverClanner managed to keep herself on her paws. Shaking out her fur, Primrosepaw padded back over to the Deputy.
Primrosepaw’s heart pounded in her chest as she braced herself, listening intently to Dusklion’s instructions. She could still feel the sting of the dodge and the weight of the lesson: battle was as much about strategy as it was about strength.
As Dusklion began to circle her, Primrosepaw focused on the older warrior's movements. She kept her emerald eyes locked on Dusklion’s, searching for any sign of where the next strike might come. The apprentice’s body was tense, ready to react, but her mind was racing. She knew she had to stay calm, think quickly, and trust her instincts.
When Dusklion lunged, Primrosepaw instinctively flinched toward the shoulder feint, only to realize the true target a split second later. Her eyes widened as she saw the Deputy’s paw aiming for her legs. Desperately, she tried to leap to the side, her muscles burning with the effort to avoid the sweep. She felt a brief moment of panic as she realized she was a heartbeat too slow.
Even as she stumbled, Primrosepaw’s mind raced to recover.
Don’t wallow in it, come back swinging, she reminded herself. As she began to fall, she twisted her body, trying to use her momentum to roll and spring back to her paws, aiming to face Dusklion as quickly as possible. She knew she had made a mistake, but she was determined to learn from it and be ready for whatever came next.
