The young cat soon shook herself physically, as though shaking water from her pelt, pushing the doubt away. No! I have to be strong for our clan! She sat back and looked at Owlscreech with determination in her eyes. “I need to learn…to be strong to protect my clanmates.” She meowed, a touch of assertiveness to her usually bright and kitish tone.

Owlscreech looked at Daffodilpaw, her big amber eyes stared into the apprentices. When she was younger she had the same thought, she didn't like the idea of having to kill or hurt someone else who might have family or kits. "I understand what you mean, Daffodilpaw. But some clan cats wouldn't hesitate to kill you or any of your clanmates or kin." she meowed softly. "Yes, I know your probably thinking about hurting someone else's kin...but I don't think some of your clanmates would think that..." Owlscreech looked at the apprentice. "Do you remember what your mentor told and taught you." She asked as she finally sat down and wrapped a tail around her paws. "I want you to tell and show me."

Daffodilpaw frowned and nodded. She knew that Owlscreech was right, even though warriors weren’t supposed to kill each other in battle, it still happened. Even though all life is supposed to be sacred…a warrior has to be prepared. She gulped, trying to swallow the feeling in the pit of her belly, then looked up at Owlscreech when she felt ready. “We’ve only done hunting so far.” She explained, crouching into her well-practiced hunter’s crouch as if to demonstrate. “And I’m awesome at it!” She added with a purr. “But we haven’t started battle training.” Her tail waved behind her in excitement before she reigned it back in, looking at Owlscreech now with eager eyes.

Digging was exhausting, Leechscar could feel his shoulder muscles aching with each pawful of dirt and grass he yanked up. The tom was by no means weak, powerful muscles lined his entire body, but this type of work had his working muscles he didn't use often. He was going to be so sore after this. He took small breaks to breathe in clean air when the wind blew smoke in his direction. His gaze drifted towards Bouncepaw occasionally to ensure the apprentice was doing alright and breathing okay.

His paws worked faster than Leechscar's and the fury couldn't recall if the tom had any digging training. Thanks to Crowtooth he had some tunneling experience, but nothing to write home about. When he heard the incoming paws, he and Bouncepaw had dug up a decent enough trench. It wasn't perfect or pretty, but the fire wasn't spreading and they had dug up enough dirt to shower on the fire. Still, Leechscar kept working to make the trench wider for the firefighters.

WHITERABBIT . 20 MOONS . SHE/HER . WINDCLAN

It's Leechscar and Bouncepaw! She whoops at the sight of them, a joyous welcome to the little party that's cooking up here in the unnamed heart of their territory. Every inch of Whiterabbit's thin, coarse pelt is bristling with tension, but her expression is fixed in the widest, sharpest grin that it can hold.

"Hey, you two! Abject destruction aside, this is kinda cool!" Whiterabbit finally halts her pacing, docked tail twitching curiously. So the plan's to dig? Windclan problem-solving at its finest. But she understands what the thought process must be. That fire is eating up the grass around it, but it can't very well chew through soil, now, can it? Whiterabbit's paws flex against the ground as Leechscar bids her to pitch in if she can. It's never been something she'd been particularly good at or interested in, but who in their right mind wouldn't want to be able to boast that they'd helped dig a prison around a raging fire?

"I guuuess I'm free." Whiterabbit slides down the slope after Leechscar and Bouncepaw, wincing as the hot air buffets her face. She sets to work with a focus more on helping to widen what had already been dug up, quick but not particularly efficient. Grass and pebbles snag and wrench at her claws and she winces, aimlessly shouting her complaints into the wind each time, but refusing to stop the chore.

Batglare broke off from Crowtooth and the other when Silverrose and Scorpionsight were ready, darting away from Twilight Falls. The dripping-wet warrior internally complained about the water in his pelt while racing along the territory using his eyes instead of his nose to locate the smoke bellowing above their heads.

He ignored how his paws slipped climbing the incline that led them to Leechscar, Whiterabbit, and Bouncepaw. They all looked alright, perhaps a bit tired and dirty, but no one writhing around in pain or burning. His green-yellow eyes barely glanced at the ring of dirt they had dug up around the fire. The flames weren't dying and weren't moving any longer either. Thankfully though they didn't look too tall. Batglare set the large clump of wet moss down and looked at the trench. His tail flickered uncertain of the way to approach this.

"Let's start by tossing the soil on the flames, we can toss the wet moss balls on top of the dirt after, wet mud should stem the fire better than solely wet moss. Mind the wind and the smoke, step back if you have difficulty breathing." Batglare meowed to his patrol, recalling Lightingstorm's earlier words. Batglare grumbled softly when he noticed the soil was already churned and easy enough to scoop up. The tom hooked some loose soil with his paw and flung it on the fire before repeating the process.

"Keeping digging up the ground I'm not certain how much dirt we'll need." He advised Leechscar, Bouncepaw, and Whiterabbit.

Whiterabbit and Batglare were both also working? Bouncepaw can feel hot air on his fur, and his paws ache from all the digging, but he doesn't mind. Digging suits him, and he feels comfortable in what he's doing, as if he can do this forever. If only it wasn't for the fact that there's a fire going on...

Bouncepaw redirects his paws, and tries to fling soil onto the fire himself. It doesn't work. He's strong, but he can't see exactly where the fire is, and so he ends up missing. Bouncepaw isn't discouraged. He should probably just stick to what he's good at.

Bouncepaw continues digging the trench wider and deeper, creating more dirt mounds. This dirt is wet and clumpy, unlike the grass-mixed, dry top layer he's been digging up previously. He coughs. He's been keeping his breath for a while, but the dust from all the digging, and the smoke particles are starting to get to him.

Okay, so, tossing soil onto the flames first.
Adds up.

Scorpionsight followed instructions, beginning to dig as much as possible.
