Duskpaw's Training~ [p]

[SentimentalSquid]

Briarsplash hovered near the apprentice's den, hesitating. Every part of her screamed to find some other excuse — a random hunting or border patrol she could tag along, or just to do some solo quest.

But she'd pushed it off long enough. Her patrol with Hawkbite and Brownpaw showed her that — she'd seen glimpses of the mentor being patient and kind with Brownpaw. Briar knew she should do the same — each day she didn't, Dusk was falling behind. And it'd be all her fault.

How can you hope to be a true ShadowClan warrior if you can't do this?

The large she-cat collected herself — why was she so afraid? There were very few things she feared, and training an apprentice seemed to be a silly addition to that imposing list.

Finally, she spoke. In her surprisingly-soft voice for her large form, she called out, "Duskpaw... Duskpaw, are you awake? It's... time to start your training."

There. It was done. She leaned back on her haunches, flexing her claws in the dirt as she waited for the apprentice's response.


/ @LostInTheOrchids - i mentioned this in another post but i'm writing in my obliviousness (still punching myself) as briar being hesitant/nervous to start training to make in-character sense !!

--TRAINING TRACKER--

[Duskpaw's training tracker will be edited as we go along. If she gains any experience relevant to this post, please let me know via VM or whatever else so I can update it here! I gathered the requirements from the "request a ceremony" form on ShadowClan's homepage. ]

Apprentices need at least five instances of learning experience that include the company of a warrior. The warrior does not have to be their mentor. 1 hunting, 1 fighting, 1 stealth lesson must be learned and the last 2 lessons can be of your choice.

These experiences may include:

Hunting lessons - ( 0/1 lesson required)

Battle training sessions - ( 0/1 lesson required )

Patrols (hunting, border, battle, herb collection) - (1 patrol(s) completed together)

Stealth training - ( 0/1 lesson required )

Battle experiences (such as raids - requires a battle training session) - (0 battle experiences)

Any other life experience where the character learns something substantial - (0 other substantial experiences)


Plot participation


Clan meeting participation - (0/2 required meetings with at least 2 posts)

Battle assessment (with Dawnstar or Enforcers) - (0/1 required assessment; may use raid or event as a replacement)

Other rules:

- no recent punishments/breaking warrior code in order to obtain ceremony
- aim to make these qualifications before the age of 18 moons, or will be reassessed

@LostInTheOrchids - pls let me know on VM if you want any changes or if there's anything else I can add <3 if Dusk has participated in something or gained training from elsewhere I can make the appropriate changes here!
