[training] i'm the narrator and this is just the prologue

Wormpaw • He / It • Shadowclan apprentice • 9+ moons

Wormpaw nodded to Spiritrain, noting Coyote standing and turning to face it. Worm grinned, lashing his tail playfully, he decided he'd make the first move. The smaller tom leaped onto Coyotepaw's back, trying to land evenly enough to keep his balance. It worked for the most part. He landed off-center and began to slip and fall.

In his panic, and while trying not to fall, he accidentally unsheathed his claws, raking them down Coyote's side as it tumbled to the ground. Wormpaw's eyes shot wide as he noticed the scratch on Coyotepaw. oh- oh no- no no no I did not just do that, he's going to kill me.

He rolled onto his stomach and jumped to his paws, swallowing anxiously "Coy- I'm so sorry, I didn't-" He was cut off by Coyote, he pinned his ears back as he stared up at his denmate.

Coyotepaw • He / They • Shadowclan apprentice • 10+ moons

Coyotepaw listened to Spiritrain carefully, nodding as he rose to his paws and turned to Worm. He crouched, his tail lashing behind him as he looked at Worm through narrowed eyes. He watched Wormpaw jump, trying to move out of the way.

They were a bit too slow but had moved enough for Worm to land off-center. He grinned as he shifted his body, throwing Worm's balance off. Time seemed to slow down as he watched Worm fall. Suddenly he felt the sharp sting of claws running down his side.

His eyes went wide, then narrowed to cold slits as they whipped around to face the other apprentice. It to call them that stupid nickname, right after unsheathing it's claws in battle training? Absolutely not. "Don't call me that-" He said with a growl "What the hell? You can't unsheathe your claws in practice fights!" He spat, stepping closer to the other apprentice.

It saw fear flash in the other tom's eyes and sighed, stepping away to assess the scratches. They weren't too bad, but were probably going to scar but he could probably hide them.

He shook his fur, mostly covering them "I'm fine- don't worry" he muttered "Let's just- continue"

and with that he waved his tail, crouching again, waiting until Worm was standing and hesitantly crouching. Coyotepaw began to circle, followed by Worm. After a bit he launched himself at the smaller apprentice, catching Worm off guard.

He landed perfectly, knocking Worm onto it's side. They pushed down with their entire weight, earning a noise of complaint from Worm, but not much more.

Coyotepaw looked back to his mentor, puffing his chest out a bit.
