Fighting Training! (Ember)

[Fiction]

Cinderpaw bounced up and down impatiently, waiting for her mentor to start the lesson. Today was fighting, and CINDERPAW was excited to show off her agility. "So can we start now Emberpelt pleeeeaaaase?" The gray apprentice was sending off tsunamis of excitement off her.

OOC: Sorry for this random tag, I wanted CINDERPAW to her all her training done.

OOC: Great! It is totally fine! I also have a thread that is under Skyfield that is for Cinderpaw, but I made it before your old account got deleted. You can go find it and we can do the two of them.

"Come on then! We will head down to the beach. We you fall the sand will cushion your fall." Emberpelt ran her tail along Cinderpaw's back and headed off.

[Fiction]

"Okay!" Cindetpaw said, just before she tripped. The soft sand stopped any injuries, but Cinderpaw still let out an "Oof!" The next second she was back on her feet, chattering excitedly. "Wow, sand is really soft! It almost makes me wanna fall in the sand everyday! Wouldn't that be weird, if you fell down in the sand in the same spot twice? Oh, I almost forgot," Cinderpaw took in a breath, "congratulations on having kits!"

[Deleted]

Emberpelt was taken a back, "Oh you knew about my kits." She was kind of embarrassed. She hadn't mentioned it much, but of course cats must have noticed. "Thank you I love them so much. Even the little she-cat. Even though she is deaf."

"Now lets get to training!" Emberpelt started to think of a training plan. She wanted for this to go perfectly.

[Fiction]

"Aww..." Cinderpaw thought of her own mother and father, Briarspring and Ambercloud. She knew they both loved her very much, and she loved them as well. The she cat knew how special family was. When Emberpelt announced it was training time, the gray apprentice jumped high in the air. "Yes!" She said, full of excitement, as usual.

"Okay we'll start with an extremely simple move, but sometimes the most simple moves are the most useful." Emberpelt meowed. Right now she wasn't being all fun and games. She knew she was being a little cold, but this was serious business. "This is the front paw swipe, now there are two ways to do this. Like this," She demonstrated the move. Just a simple swipe in the air. "And like this," This time she stood up on her back legs and swiped. "The second one is good is you are fighting someone or something bigger than you. Now you try!"

[Fiction]

Cinderpaw was a bit confused at her mentor's sudden coldness, but listened to her nonetheless. Her pale green eyes determined, but still excited, she tried the two moves. Not at all perfect, but not so bad for her first time. "How was that?" She asked Emberpelt eagerly. Cinderpaw was a quick learner and always eager to please, that made her an efficient apprentice.

Emberpelt realized that she was being a little too cold, and she tried to make her voice a little more fun this time. "Not bad for a first try. Though you need to work on your balance. If you don't have balance the move won't work, and believe me. When you are fighting for your life. You won't feel your paws or legs and you will tumble over if you don't have balance."

[Fiction]

Cinderpaw nodded eagerly, hanging on her mentor's every word. She tried the move again, more balanced this time, but the strike itself was a little sloppy. The gray apprentice was not discouraged at all. She perked her white ears higher (if that was even possible) and tried the strike again, doing a little better this time. She gasped happily and looked at Emberpelt. "I did it! Did you see? Did you see Emberpelt? I was like," she stopped to stand on her back legs, "and then I was like," she put her left front leg straight out. Then she dropped her front paws back on the sand and jumped around, happy that she succeeded in a move.

Emberpelt laughed at the apprentice's excitement. It was adorable! "Very good! Now lets work on defense!" She took a couple steps back, "If someone attacks you with a paw swipe. Jump to the side and you can either do another paw swipe, grab onto their scruff, or yank on their tail."

"Attack me and I'll show you. Of course not hurting you." She was trying to reassure Cinderpaw.

[Fiction]

Cinderpaw nodded eagerly, and when her mentor said she was ready, the she cat apprentice quickly darted a paw out, making sure her claws were sheathed.

[Deleted]

Emberpelt leaped to the side as quick as a rabbit and grabbed lightly onto Cinderpaw's scruff. She dropped her back down and then looked at Cinderpaw, "See? It is rather simple, but you HAVE to get the timing right or bad things will happen. They could get the better of you instead. Also for you since you are so small. You probably don't want to do the scruff grab. Instead just do a paw swipe or tail yank. You don't know how heavy your opponent is till it's too late."
