First Day (tagged, training thread)

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze waited for apprentice near the exit of camp. Sure it was pretty early in the day to start training but early never hurt. She smiled proudly that she finally had an apprentice under her wing whom she could pass down all of her skills to. Silverbreeze grunted at the amount of time her apprentice was taking. Today was a perfect day for training. Showing the borders and areas of territory was a great start for today. Silverbreeze smirked wondering if her aprentice could keep up with her great speed though.

Rowanpaw looked at his mentor through the apprentice den wall. Why did he have to get her. She thought she was so much better than all of the apprentices. Today is going to be horrible. We'll probably hunt or explore but all I want to do is practice battling. Rowanpaw reluctantly got up and left the den, hissing as he left the cool air of the den and was replaced by the hot, humid air outside.

He padded over to Silverbreeze, flicking an ear in greeting. "What are we doing today?" he grumbled.

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze smiled at her apprentice. "Today I will show you around the territory so you can learn the best places to hunt or attack in battle. We will also visit the borders of our territory," she explained quickly. "We will visit the dead willow first so try to keep up." Silverbreeze stretched out her limbs and crouched down getting ready to run. In a split second she sprung forward and began taking long and quick strides

[Asher]

Rowanpaw scurried after his mentor. Great StarClan she's fast! My legs are too short! He took long strides and managed to run next to her. Why can't we be doing battle training? Learning the territory won't help me win battles! He started to slow down, panting for breath. "Great StarClan Silverbreeze! Slow down!"

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze smirked and came to a quick halt. "We are here anyway," she smiled. "This is the dead willow. It is great for practicing climbing. It is also a decent place to catch prey. but, be careful not to fall off. You can seriously injure yourself." Silverbreeze looked over to her apprentice to she his expression. This was definitely a lot of information to take in during one day.

[Asher]

Silverbreese stopped and looked at him. Then she started explaining the dead willow. I don't care!, he wanted to scream but he tried to listen anyway. "What type of prey is here?" he asked. Maybe if he asked questions, she would think he understood so they could do battle training.

[Sakuratree]

"Some squirrel and sometimes a mouse or two," Silverbreeze explained happy to answer any questions. "Let's move on to the abandoned lookout. It is a very long and hard climb so be careful." Silverbreeze started running again. This time faster so they would be able to reach the top quick enough to be able to observe the rest o the territory in one day.

[Asher]

Rowanpaw leaped after his mentor. Here she goes again. Running off not worrying about me. Why couldn't I have had a mentor who likes battle? I hate Silverbreeze! "Slow down, will you?" he hissed. They ran through the woods to the abandoned lookout. I hope we get there soon! This cat drives me nuts!

[Sakuratree]

Silverbreeze turned back to her apprentice as she started slowing down. "I'm pretty sure I know what you're thinking. You want to fight. Also, I will not slow down. This is part of making you faster and getting your legs stronger. Anyway, here is the abandoned lookout. Here we look for twolegs that may be nearby. On a side note, the view here is amazing. You can probably find a mouse or two in the small bushes over there" Silverbreeze explained flicking her tail towards the bushes. When she had been an apprentice, all Silverbreeze wanted to do was fight. but after training with her mentor, she realized that fighting wasn't the only way to get stronger. She wanted to pass this on to Rowanpaw. So, he could be a strong warrior too.

[Asher]

Rowanpaw listened to Silverbreeze explain. I don't care about stupid views! They don't help you win fights. Battle training does. Why can't this mouse-brained excuse of a cat see what I really could be doing right now? "Look, could we please do something else? How is looking at great views or hunting spots going to help me win fights?"

[Sakuratree]

"Knowing you're own territory means you've already won a battle," she simply mewed waiting for his reaction to how she spoke. Silverbreeze got the hang of this apprentice. He thought negatively most of the time and just wanted to fight. Silverbreeze was going to correct this. "How about this: I will only train you to fight when I think you're ready. Next we'll be visiting the heat pool. This time keep up." Silverbreeze took off again at the pace she started with when he left camp. She had to teach this apprentice right from wrong and that was the last option she had.

[Asher]

Ugghh! Here she goes again! Rowanpaw sprang after the she-cat. Why does she always run off like that? I guess if I want to fight, I have to prov that I know the territory. Fine then. I'll pay attention if I practice fighting. "What's the hot pool?" he asked. There. I'm paying attention.

OOC: Sorry Rowanpaw's so negative and gets into fights. I should have warned you before you became his mentor. He'll be hard to train but he is very powerful!

[Sakuratree]

"It's a place where out clan gets their fresh water source from. There may not be any fish. but this is the ideal spot to find prey because they come here to drink," Silverbreeze explained. "Now, we will not visit the chastophic chasm or flying rat nest because they are quite dangerous to visit. So, this concludes our first day of training." She smiled proudly at her apprentice for finishing his first day. "Tomorrow we start hunting," she mewed. "but first I would like to talk to you. About your.... Attitude."

OOC: I read his application before offering Silverbreeze so it's all good. Although, Silverbreeze will try to mold him to be a better cat because that's her personality. It's entirely up to you if Rowanpaw listens to her or not.

[Asher]

"Um..." What does she mean, attitude? What she looking in on his business again. My attitude is my problem, not your! You should worry about yourself instead! She thought she could mod him into a different cat, did she? She must not know about my visits to the Dark Forest then, does she. I will destroy the Clans eventually, but for now, I need to become a warrior.

[Sakuratree]

"I can tell you aren't very interested in the information I am giving you," she stated bluntly. "I really think you can be a great warrior if you follow my words. All it takes is dedication and respect. With that I promise you can be a leader one day. Also, I've decided to hold off on your fighting training." There was something fishy with this apprentice and Silverbreeze needed to figure it out. "Remember you can talk to me about anything. I am your mentor I'm here to help and guide you."
