*runs over to Snowstar* I'm ready *smiles*

[Shadewhisker]

(I have to go D=)

[Snowstar]

Okay. Follow me. *trots over to the bank of the water* Can you smell anything?

[Snowstar]

(okay bye )

[Shadewhisker]

*stands by the river* Kinda...

[Snowstar]

*spots a water vole* Watch.... *creeps up, dosn't let tail tuch the ground, and pounces and kills the water vole* Now you try.

[Shadewhisker]

ok *scents another water vole and spots it,then copies Snowstar and gets it* was that right?

[Snowstar]

Yep! Good work! (sorry I never answered)
now we're going to practice battle moves. Lets start with the Front paw blow.
When you're in front of your enemy, bring your front paw down hard on your opponent's head. Claws sheathed.
Try it on me.

[Shadewhisker]

ok! *stands in front of you,trying to look scary(and failing xD)* *brings his front paw down on top of your head,but not as hard as he would have done with an enemy warrior*

[Snowstar]

great! but when your in battle, make sure to do it very quickly so your opponent can't dodge or get you first.
Front paw strike: Slice downward with your front paw at the body or face of your opponent. Claws unsheathed.
But we won't practice that one since you did the Front paw blow.
Back kick:
Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent's distance from you carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking your weight on your front paws.
Try the back kick on me.

[Shadewhisker]

*nods and concentrates for a moment,then quickly moves and kicks out with his back legs,hitting you* How did I do?

[Snowstar]

Great! If someone tried to do that to you, try to do a quick Front paw blow or strike.
Teeth grip:
Target your opponent's extremities—the legs, tail, scruff, or ears—and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to the leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.
Leap-and-hold:
Ideal for a small cat facing a large opponent. Spring onto opponent's back and grip with unsheathed claws. Now you are beyong the range of your opponent's paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. A group of apprentices can defeat a large and dangerous warrior in this way. It was deployed to great effect against BloodClan's deputy, Bone. Watch for the drop-and-roll countermove, and try to jump free before you get squashed.
Try the Leap and Hold on me.

[Shadewhisker]

Ok..*quickly leaps onto your back,gripping with his paws(not claws XD) and pretends to claw,but stays alert incase you roll over*

[Snowstar]

Great work! *shakes you off without hurting you*

[Shadewhisker]

*smiles* Thanks! What move am I learning next?

[Shadewhisker]

*pads in from Sunningrocks,then sits by the river,waiting* *finaly sees a dark shape and flicks his paw in,pulling out a fish* *looks around and finds two shrews in the reeds,creeps towards then and catches them both,then picks them up with the fish and pads back towards Sunningrocks*
