"correct." he meowed as he began walking again
as if reading her mind about the foul smell he added "...and I wilsh the worst thing about it was the smell...the thunderpath has taken lives of many a cats. kits and warriors alike." they soon entered an area where the gorse thinned and soon they were walking over dark black chunks that had fallen away from the thunderpath.
the Deputy shrank back as a monster seered past, leaving Kashclaw with a wild frightened expression. When he finally gathered himself together again, he meowed to his apprentice "the monsters rarely leave the path, but there have been stories of them swirving for us...best to be safe than sorry."

Before the monster flew by, Spiritpaw felt a rumbling beneath her paws. She didn't know what it was until the monster came by. She didn't scream, but she shrank back and sunk her claws into the mud, wincing as a blast of foul-smelling air blew on her. She got back to her paws shakily, gulped, and nodded, following Kashclaw.

"I'm not going to show you how right now, because we dont have a reason to, but you want to look both ways to make sure there is no monster nearby, and then sprint across as fast as you can..." as he spoke another monster zoomed past, nearly spraying him with filthy water. Kashclaw lept away very agily, and for a second stood there a little dazed. "you dont want to get sprayed my that stuff either...or be around the thuderpath too long...it tastes something aweful come the time when you was your fur again..." he forced a small chuckled before turning back to the woods
"come along, Spiritpaw, im going to take you to the shadowclan border"

Spiritpaw nodded. She felt her voice would vanish soon from underuse, but was silent anyway. She leapt over the pool of stinking water sprayed by the monster and followed Kashclaw, glad to be away from the Thunderpath.

unfortunatly, they didnt stray from the thunderpath for long; the Shadowclan border was just on the other side. Kashclaw led Spiritpaw near the fourtrees and during that time he mentioned with a flick of his tail "the fourtrees are over there, thats where the four clans meet every full moon under starclan." ((cant remember if she know that already >>))
trekking on, Kashclaw took her to a wide opening under the thunderpath and at the other end was murky...dull...uninviting "shadowclan." commented the black polydactyl unnessesarily. "take a good wiff, and remember it. now...what can i say about shadowclan....very hostile..."

((yeah, she's been to a Gathering before)) She sniffed. The scent of ShadowClan mixed with the acrid tang of the thunderpath, but she could tell it's bitter scent from the Thunderpath's. She didn't like it, but she was predisposed not to, anyway. She faintly recalled it from when she first came to WindClan.

"Thunderclan isnt much of a problem, they tend to be really soft, so im not going to take you all the way to their border, lets continue along ours and I'll show you Riverclan"
Leaping up the sloap, The Tom led the way past the fourtrees again and along the stream. he stopped, raising his tail, to warn Spiritpaw to do the same. "rabbit." he whispered "have you ever caught one?"

She shook her head. "I've caught other things, though," she offered. "And I've seen a rabbit caught..." She felt a little guilty for her inexperience, but in her defense, this /was/ her first training session!

ooc: you know how to use italics right? [i]hey fart face![/i]
The tom swished his tail to tell her it was alright. lowering an elbow, to lean on, Kashclaw craned his neck to look back at Spiritpaw and he whispered "okay, for a rabbit, you want to be extra quiet, since they're hearing is keener. And since they are so fast, if you are an inexperianced hunter, you may need more than just yourself to catch it....what we do is one of us will go around the rabbit, and scare it toward whoever stayed behind it. When they approach you, thats when you strike....now. any questions? no? good. now, one last thing, would you like to catch it?" The black feline grinned.

OOC: lol, yes, I was feeling lazy
IC: "Okay," she answered, lowering herself into the hunter's crouch. It wouldn't help with sneaking up on the rabbit, but the rabbit could no longer see her through the grass.

inspecting her crouch briefly he whispered "good" before sneaking off to the right and dissappeared behind the curtains of grass...
when he was finally on the side opposite spiritpaw, he prowled closer to the rabbit, paws treading on the sod softy. Finally, he saw it; now standing erect- it was aware something was close by...
With a yowl, Kashclaw lept out of his hiding place at the rabbit, frightening it about in the direction of Spiritpaw "Here 'e comes!" he yowled

OOC: I replied the SAME DAY as the post this time! *is proud of self*
IC: The rabbit came running by; Kashclaw was right, it was fast, too fast for her to catch on her own yet. But as it ran by she pounced, biting its neck and killing it before it could escape. She straightened up and walked toward Kashclaw with the rabbit in her mouth, eyes glowing proudly.

The Deputy looked suprised that she had caught it so easily "we'll make a hunter out of you, yet!" he praised. "now bury that under some grass so we can collect it later, we have a patrol to finish"
ooc:lol

"Okay!" she said eagerly. I'm getting the hang of this, she thought as she dug a hole to put the rabbit in, covering it in grass as Kashclaw instructed

ooc: since you're leaving and i dont like threads to go unfinished...
"on second thought..." he meowed glancing up at the gathering dusk "Its getting late, we should be heading back."
with a forepaw, Kashclaw swiped away the grass and led the way back to camp
