Dawnpaw was exhausted! She padded into camp and limp in her step. A small bird was in her mouth. Sniffling the wind blowing her long fur. The tired apprentice dropped her catch into the pile quiet slowly. Bones aching she pushed into her den dilute green eyes flicking over the bodies of her sleep clanmates. Head turning she looked at the moon through the small things blocking the beautiful view. Sniffing twice in a night she crawled carefully over to her nest climbing in tiredly. Head hitting the soft moss she drifted into a sleepless long nap. Till dawn.

[Falcon]

"Wake up young one, we have things to discuss" a deep voice purred near her ear "do not be afraid, I am not hear to hurt you" it continued softly "I am here to guide you on the path of a true warrior loyal to the code and all that it stands for"

[Deleted]

Dawnpaw didn't open her eyes. She didn't want too! "B-but I want to be a medicine cat apprentice!" The confused apprentice cried out. When the stubborn apprentice did stars clouded her vision. Sniffing she tried to around her. Stars,stars more stars! "Are you from StarClan?" Dawnpaw dumbly asked the voice.

[Falcon]

the tom nodded his head "my name is Nightcrow, I am a warrior of Starclan, so old in my name that many of those walking the dirt do not even remember it, but here I stand still ready to train those of the living the ways I was taught when I was young"

[Deleted]

"Oh.." Dawnpaw dumbed replied. "What are you teaching me? The way of a warrior?" She pressed lightly. Sniffling again the long furred apprentice purred at the warm breeze drifting on her cool fur. She could live like this! but I'm not ready to die... Snapping back to life Dawnpaw turned to look at the scenery of StarClan.

[Falcon]

Nightcrow nodded "I'm here to teach you anything and everything your heart desires, including the way of the warrior" he smiled "that is the least I can do now that I'm here" he looked content though despite the fact that he was no longer alive, he was happy as a kit

[Deleted]

Dawnpaw purred again -but for a different reason-. It always pleased her when someone was happy. "Um. Would you able to teach me about basic herbs?" A feline smile tugged at her face. Tail flicking over the grass she realized something. She wasn't going to get any sleep. Tonight will be long.

[Falcon]

Nightcrow chuckled "well first we should sharpen your warrior skills, you have to have a back up plan if you aren't chosen for the medicine cat apprentice job, always good to have a back up plan" his words came out kindly and his eyes were filled with a wisdom beyond his many moons

[Deleted]

Dawnpaw nodded in agreement. "What move will we try first?" She hadn't really received battle training from her mentor yet and it showed. There was barely any muscle on her plus she didn't really know how to even slash which was very basic.. Sniffling she wondered how StarClan had no leaf-bare or leaf-fall.

[Falcon]

Nightcrow studied her a little before smiling "show me your crouch, crouches are the first step in many moves and I'd like to see yours" Nightcrow crouched down to show her how it's done keeping in his pose so she could do her best to imitate it as best as she could

[Deleted]

Dawnpaw nodded hurriedly, this should be... Fun! Pushing herself off the ground and into a sloppy crouch her tail was at least off the ground... "Uh sorry Nightcrow my mentor hasn't taught me much yet... Could you at least teach me hunting soon?" Dawnpaw said shamefully. At least she knew what a crouch was! Wait what apprentice didn't?

[Falcon]

Nightcrow purring moving around his apprentice and adjusting her form as he circled "Hunting and Fighting sometimes go paw in paw, one move you might use to fight off of fox could help you catch a rabbit, and the stalking you might do to catch a mouse, you could easily catch your enemies by surprise if you wanted to"
