Firestorm padded into the Sandy Hollow and sat down, waiting for Windpaw to come.
OOC: Sorry, I totally forgot to make this! But it's made now so come one, come all!... actually, come Windpaw!

OOC: Well like I said we're going to tour the territory without touring the territory... so we'll leave the Sandy Hollow but keep it within this thread... maybe some hunting too. And I'm basing this on the map in the book, as in how the territories are positioned.
IC: "Good morning Windpaw," said Firestorm. Inside, he was just as enthusiastic as Windpaw, a kit at heart, but maintained a professional manner. "Today I will show you around ThunderClan territory, and I will show you the ShadowClan border by the thunderpath, the RiverClan border by Sunningrocks, and the WindClan border from Fourtrees. If we have time, I'll teach you a little about hunting on our way back. Are you ready?"

"Let's begin then," he purred. "As you know, this is the Sandy Hollow. We will be training here, but not all the time. There is no prey here so we will be out in the forest to teach you that, but I'll teach you fighting techniques here. Let's move on." Firestorm led Windpaw out of the hollow, walking along a stream. As he walked, he said "This stream is our main source of water, although only a small source of prey. There's land prey here, and fish which are much harder to catch." They turned and Firestorm led him a ways down the edge of the forest.
"Breathe deeply," he instructed. "What do you smell?"

"That's right," Firestorm said, impressed. "They own the territory from the Sunningrocks" -he nodded toward the plain of flat stones ahead of them- "To the moorlands where WindClan territory begins. You must not chase prey onto these stones, even though they are on the ThunderClan side of the river. Let's move on." He led Windpaw up several tree-lengths to the Owl Tree.

"This is the owl tree," he said. "An owl lives here, so you must be very careful. You're an apprentice now, but you're still a kit to the owl. You may not come here alone for a moon at least." He nodded at the undergrowth. "Put your nose into that. What do you smell?" he asked again.
OOC: Owl pellets/crowfood/STINK!

Firestorm chuckled. "That's a trick you can play on your apprentice when you're a mentor," he said. "Owls can't eat the fur or bones, so they throw them up in a ball." He walked on, signaling Windpaw to follow. He came to a huge clearing with four towering oaks in each corner and a huge stone in the minute. He asked, "Do you know where we are?"

"That's right," said Firestorm. "You will come here at least once in your apprenticeship, but you must earn it. You will meet great cats from all the different Clans, and have a chance to analyze how they are doing in their Clans. You'll be able to learn precious information on your enemies, and make lasting friendships." He hopped up on the Great Rock, signaling Windpaw to follow. "Take a good look, you won't be able to be up here unless you become Clan leader." Even he was dizzied by the view. He gave himself a mental shake and pointed his muzzle toward WindClan, "That's WindClan territory. You can't smell them from here, but they are swift and lean from running after rabbits."
