Sharpen Your Claws! (OPEN)

[Midnight]

This is a battle training sort of thread for anyone to jump into, warrior or apprentice. Have fun! c:

Riverpaw's long fur was matted and filled with mud. Her trek from the high cliff down to the Murky Hollow was not a fun one. There was a steep slope about five minutes from the river that led down to the bottom of the waterfall, but at times, it was still as if one were going straight down. Riverpaw began wondering why mentors took new apprentices down that slope, then decided that if she, an apprentice of a few weeks, was able to come alone, then it was probably fine. Then again, Riverpaw had older brothers and a father secretly teaching her fighting techniques as a kit, so she was toughened up rather early on and was more muscular than most Clan cats her age.

While she waited for other apprentices to come and hang around here for some extra battle training, as this happened to be quite the common hangout place for bored apprentices and sometimes warriors, Riverpaw attacked a spruce tree, claws unsheathed. She made long, shallow marks and short, deep marks in the tree. One claw got snagged and Riverpaw squealed in pain before she managed to get it out. A squeal from Riverpaw. She could act tough, but in most ways, she really wasn't that tough. Looking around, Riverpaw thanked StarClan that no one heard her squeal (as far as she knew).

"Where are the others?" Riverpaw mumbled irritably after about half an hour more of training solo. Some cats had to show up at some point!

Fallenstorm had finished training with Ripplepaw not so long ago, they were going back to the camp together when he noticed another apprentice hanging out the Murky Hollow, he was not sure who she was but that could be an interesting trainning for his apprentice. "Hello there." he meowed trying to get the she cat attention. "You looking for someone to train with you?" He asked waving his tail around. "Perhaps Ripplepaw could join you and I could watch you two." The large tom moved his whiskers curious to hear the anwser. "What you think Ripplepaw?"

Silverfish strong paws and legs pushed against the current of the river as he pushed his way towards the Murky Hallow. He never really traveled on land unless he had too. He could get to most places faster if he was swimming. Thats why he was extremely happy today, the river had completely unthawed from leafbare and was now safe enough to swim in. He had no idea why he was heading to the Murky Hallow, Some one said something about training for both warriors and apprentices He thought to himself. Then he remembered that he wanted to work on some water battling techniques that he was working pervious leaf fall that got put to a stop because of the river freezing. Silverfish looked as he approached the Murky Hallow and he could see shadows of cats and he headed towards the bank. He easily climbed back on to shore and padded towards the shapes, not bothering to shake the water out of his pelt. As he padded closer he heard Fallenstrom talking to his apprentice and another apprentice. He padded closer and said to Fallenstorm "Would you like some help with these two?" He stood next to the warrior water still dripping off his whiskers.

Ripplepaw poured happily, his green eyes glowing with a bright excitement, especially after a long day of training, he wanted to test his skills against another apprentice. He bounded over to stand by the she-cat, a mischievous gleam in his eye as be was ready to our his newly devopled skills to the test.

"Of course I'll train with you! I need some time to test my newly devoted skills!" He mewed happily, excited to make a new friend.

Honeystripe woke up, giving himself a few licks. Today will be really nice. he thought. Honeystripe wanted to be the best warrior ever. He was so clan-loyal and loving of his clan, so he would serve it as best as possible. So that was why he was going to the Murky Hollow. He hadn't been there for a very, very long time; the last time was with his apprentice, their name forgotten to him. It made him feel sort of bad, but he wouldn't linger on it. 

He finished up grooming himself and stretched briefly, before trotting along to the Murky Hollow. He noticed how muddy the ground was and felt that his long grooming session was worthless now. 
Honeystripe trudged down said slope and met Riverpaw, Fallenstorm, Silverfish and Ripplepaw. "Hi, everyone. I appear to be late... Sorry about that. Does anyone want to practice with little old Honeystripe?"
