A large black tom padded through the dead tall grass, hearing the crunch of dead leaves and brush under his every pawstep. he came to a hault suddenly and then satdown, and let his scenses absorb everything around him..
The slight breeze that blew across the moore ruffled his thickening wintercoat slightly. the air felt pure, like everything was unmasked and crisp. the ground was firm from the frost from the night before.
Nearly two seasons ago, recalled Kashclaw as he opened his eyes, he was an apprentice trailing along after his mentor, Goldenstream...he let out a long pensive sigh and thought to himself and now see how far i have come...
Kashclaw looked around and swished his tail with impatience. now where is Flypaw?

Flypaw came bounding through the nettle. She halted when she saw Kashclaw. She finally caught with him. She sat, rolled her tail around her paw sand listened for directions. She had waited so long to be an apprentice. Her sister, Eliiepaw, had become an apprentice before her. Flypaw was happy. She was proud to be Windclan's deputy's apprentice. After all, her mother had cone some things that might have made her have to leave her clan, forever. Now she sat, waiting, listening. her ears pricked forward. She listened now.

ooc: i apologize, but i cant remember if this is our first lesson or not....
"oh so you decided to show up after all!" teased the black tom as he rose up to his paws.
"i thought, for your first lesson, i would show you a few things about hunting...could you please crouch down for me as thought you were stalking something?"

Flypaw knodded. She shifted into her best crouch. She remambered her father telling her to hunt. She shifted all her weight into her hanches. She hoped her first lesson would go well. The wind shifted. She smelt something.She looked to see if Kashclaw could smell it too. ooc:I might have catsrule's wingclan cat join in...maybe.( she could just smell anouther patrol if not  ) |

ooc: thats fine with me for now
Kashclaw tutted motherly as he prodded her rump with his tail "what are you doing? spread your wieght out, if you stay like that, then it will make it akward to stalk something. Unless you are about to pounce, then you can put your wieght in the back an-" The Polydactyl soon realized Flypaw wasnt paying attention. He furrowed his brow, preparing to chide her in giving him all her attention, but he took a wiff of the air around him and realized she smelt someone.
The deputy stood up tall and let out a barely audable growl. His face appeared a bit imposing to any intruder who should see him, but it wasnt lond until he recognized the scent as one of Windclans so he stood easy again and waited for whoever it was to show themselves.

Kashclaw watched the she-cat emerge from her hiding spot "Can I help you? imm kinda in the middle of something"
suddenly realizing this might have sounded rude to her he meowed hastily if there isnt, thats fine, i mean, you can stay, but.. he trailed off, and waited to hear her explaination

Flypaw recignized Pumpkinheart from camp. Hi, there Pumpkinheart! Did you come to watch us train? Flypaw asked eagerly. tHen she realized Kashclaw had been trying to tell her some thing she wanted to listen, but other things seemed more important. She then did what kashclaw had sugested. She spread her weight through out her. She crouched. Then she pretended there was a rabit in front of her. She sprang with all her weight in her butt.

Kashclaw looked back in time to see Flypaw spring. he nodded slightly, turning to face Flypaw now rather than Pumkinheart
"Not bad, but what i want you to do is when you are creeping, keep your weight balanced, and when you are preparing to spring, shift your wieght backwards, and then throw your weight forward. its like getting a head start without going anywhere. and you get alot more force in your spring." kashclaw demonstrated this, and then meowed "OKay try that again, and then i'll help you use that for things like fighting..."

Fly tried again, only this time she tried hared because Pumpkinheart was watching. Just then a squirrel came out of the nettle. She lunged at it. She went into the tall grass and dissapeared for a secont. Then she returned with the squerrel held tightly in her jaws. Once she reachedd Kashclaw she dropped it. Waiting for a praise, or a curse.

Accually...it isn't. When I liveed with Horsehoof I had to hunt on my own. she winsed with the memories of her mother and father. Her mother had betrayed the clan. Flypaw was lucky to have been accepted back in. Now she had the secont in command clan-mate for her mentore. Her and Elliepaw had lucked out. Then she asked, What do you want me to do with the squirrel? I hope I don't have to take it to the elders. This one looks deliciouse! She licked her paw.

'hmm depends on how you do with the rest of your training.' Kashclaw smirked alittle and then meowed 'but for now, set it over there and scrape some dead leaves over it.' he meowed, indicating with aflick of his tail where he wanted it.
now... meowed kashclaw getting up and bounding a little ways off from Flypaw. he stopped when he got to be about six fox-lengths away from her and turned to face her, his posture was proud and strong like a sentry; with his chest out and head high, making the polydactyl look bigger than her really was; monsterous 'we're going to do this in three stages. the first stage is for you to get aquanted with different ways you can attack me. and while you're doing it, im giong to be blocking you, i want you to pay attention to what im doing, alright? attack me!'

Flypaw found herself confused at first. Then she sprang at Kashclaw. She kept her claws shelthed, but pawed at his face. Then she rolled on to her haunches and tried to attack again.

Kashclaw stepped back and put a forearm between his face and flypaw's paws.
when the she-cat lept at him again, he stepped to the side, his green eyes watching her every movement
