A gray tabby tom padded into the forest, glancing behind him to see if the two apprentices were following. Then he sat down, waiting for them. This was Owltalon, a StormClan warrior.

Dreampaw followed his mentor, his head hanging.

Specklepaw followed close at Owltalon's heels and stood in front of Owltalon pondering what he had seen on the deputy's face. He looked behind him though, knowing Dreampaw was close behind.

Dreampaw caught up to Owltalon. "What are we doing today?" he asked.

"Right," he said seriously. "Now I want you both to tell me your experience with hunting and fighting so I can get an idea of what to teach you two right now until Pheonixfeather shows up."

"Um...I caught a mouse once?" offered Dreampaw. "No fighting training though, we just got apprenticed yesterday."

Specklepaw glanced back at Owltalon. "I've never done either but I've watched the apprentices practice hunting. I know some things about it." His tail flipped into the air as he watched Owltalon with wonder.

"So you two both know some things about hunting... lets try fighting then. Whats the first rule of being a warrior in battle?" he asked.

Specklepaw nodded at his brother's answer agreeing, but he thought up one of his own. "Only kill if you need to." He said in a hopeful voice as he watched Owltalon.

"Both of you are very close," he said. "But the first thing is to never let your guard down. It could easily get you- or others- killed, very quickly. The second is that StormClan is honorable although the enemy may not be- saying that you should not kill unless absolutely neccesary."
The warrior padded around the apprentices, staring at them. "Now, attack me," Owltalon said.

Specklepaw nodded and didn't look up before racing forward to Owltalcon. His claws sheathed he leapt aiming for Owltalon's back.

Spinning around, Owltalon raised his sheathed paw and hit the apprentice squarely in the face. "Backs are vulnerable," he said. "But you must be cautious, for in the air, you are like a flying target."

"Sorry I'm late!" Phoenixfeather called breathlessly as she skidded to a halt next to Owltalon. "I just got a little stuck while I was out hunting, but I'm here now!" she declared, hoping that no one would notice the small clumps of fur that had gotten torn out in her endeavors.

Owltalon purred in amusement. "I'm so sure." Then he stopped purring and went back to training. "I was just teaching these apprentices here about the basics of fighting."
