Cormorantpaw came over.

[hi i felt lazy to put in her format but girlie needs training]

Irisfrost

When she heard Wisteriaheart's call, Irisfrost stood up from where she had been grooming herself and padded over. The event sounded useful; it would give the apprentices some training, which she was always happy to do. “I can teach,” she told the warrior. Quite a few apprentices were also willing to teach. Irisfrost quietly made note of them; they’d make good mentors someday. “What skills are the apprentices learning?”

While the group waited, Irisfrost took the time to give her pelt a few brisk licks. It was short, so it rarely got messy, but as always, she wanted to look her best, especially since she hadn’t had time to finish her grooming before coming.

Tulippaw padded over to join the group. Most of the cats were already there, so she hoped she wasn’t too late, but she smiled none the less and tried her best to join in and hide her embarrassment on being late.

@Saki - sorry for such a lazy joining post, I’ll put more effort during the actual event

@Saki - Wisteriaheart, Treeheart: Teacher

Wisteriaheart cleared her throat after some 20 or so cats showed up, some teachers and some trainers. She just needed to pair them up. She took a deep breath before speaking.

``Ahem! Please listen up! This event will consist of four games, all based on the four requirements to become a warrior. Battle, swimming, land hunting, and water hunting. The warrior assigned to you will teach you a crash course of the topic and then the apprentices will go head to head in battle for the secret winning prize! For example, in the battle section, the teacher will show their apprentice a few basic moves and then I will pair up the apprentices to go against each other. Now for the pairings. `` She said, all with one deep breath but making sure to speak loud, clear, and slow enough for every single cat to understand and hear (Hopefully making sense of her rules as well).

After a moment she started with the pairings ``Willowpaw will teach Toadpaw, Hawksun will teach Wishpaw, Brightnight will teach Moonpaw, Pigeonpelt will teach Weepingpaw, Seabreeze will teach Sparrowpaw, Foxtail will teach Rabbitpaw, Rainpaw will teach Commorantpaw, Treeheart will teach Tulippaw, and lastly Irisfrost will teach Summerpaw, `` She finished and shook her fur off.

``Now the first thing will be water hunting, you have until sun high to teach your apprentice to water hunt and then bring back as much prey as they can! The warriors should NOT hunt to bring them back! All prey goes back to camp, the teachers do not play the game, the teachers show the apprentices and the apprentice repeat. I will be checking on EVERYTHING since I do not have an apprentice. I will be anywhere and anytime so do not even think about cheating!!`` She said sternly

``You my begin!`` She cried out cheerfully.


(Please let me know if you have any questions or if I missed anyone for pairing)

Foxtail looked around to find Rabbitpaw.

Hawksun padded up to Wishpaw with a small sniff.
@Katiethewolfchild

Pigeonpelt

Making her way over to her assigned apprentice, Pigeonpelt smiled warmly. "Lovely day," She said softly, gazing at Weepingpaw briefly. "I'm Pigeonpelt, it's nice to meet you." Her words were enthusiastic as she led her apprentice over to the side of the water. "To start with basic water hunting techniques, you can sit at the side of the water where your shadows are behind you and not on the water." Finding a part of the shoreline, she sat over and beckoned Weepingpaw to sit down.

"You see the trouts?" Under the glistening, rippling waters, fish swam past, some quick as lightning, some slow and lazy. Pigeonpelt nodded towards them and glanced at Weepingpaw. "Sit still and pinpoint one of them." She kept her voice low, only audible to her and the other Riverclanner. "When they get close... strike." Suddenly, her paws shot through the surface of the ripples and slashed into the liquid. Out came flopping one of the trouts, panicking, before Pigeonpelt ended its life. She beamed a wide stretched smile again. "It's not that hard. After a few practises you'd be able to do so!"

"Your turn."

Weepingpaw stood there, Looking a bit like an idiot. The blind Tom blinked nervously, he realized he didn't look blind and would have to let this cat know. "Oh... I um.. I'm blind.. my mom told me that I should just uh.. like... crouch and lean back a bit, Stay still and when I hear the water ripples getting closer to me along with the smell of fish, I should reach out my paws and snatch it up....." Weepingpaw mewed nervously. Weepingpaw scooted closer to the Earth's end, he slid his paws silently on the ground until he felt the edge, he leaned back and pricked his ears forward, his shadow was a bit on the water but not much. Weepingpaw listened, his paws gently placed in front of him, he sat, still as the scent of cold death.

Weepingpaw then heard a ripple, his tail twitched once behind me. He heard as a decent fish came near the surface. Weepingpaw extended his claws and in a flash, scooped the fish upwards. Hearing the clunk on it landing on the floor, he tried to pinpoint it's scent in time, but the fish had already flopped onto the waters bed, swimming away. Weepingpaw stayed calm but gave a small marrow of embarassment.

Rabbitpaw walked up to Foxtail, the seven moon old mumbled hi... She wasn't sure why she had bothered to join this event. Without Blossomkit... everything was worthless. She wondered why StarClan had taken Blossomkit but not her. She just wanted to be with Blossomkit again... @Fernwillow
