"First we need to explore territory." said Hardsoul. "You need to know borders, the best places to hunt and postions to fight." He flicked his tail to tell Grimpaw to follow him. This is pine forest as you may know, prey rich. Half-bridge is east of us, if you smell the air, it is more fresh from the lake water." Hardsoul padded through the pine forest, the fresh scents made his nose tingle. They arrived soon at half-bridge. "Two-legs are so mouse-brained, they only built a half of a bridge! Let's head towards the Riverclan border, soon you'll smell their reek." They padded on the lake shore all the way until Riverclan scent filled their nostrils so much, it was like Shadowclan wasn't even there! "Any questions so far?" (I'm going to speed this up a bit) |

Grimpaw traveled alongside his mentor, responding in simple nods and facial gestures. And as soon as they neared the RiverClan border his nose wrinkled and he stood back a bit as if a few steps backwards would ease off the smell of the opposing clan. Overhead a bird was circling above them, oftentimes squawking and the trees around them were whispering. Today was windy, he observed, and clouds hung lightly in the sky. Grimpaw gave his full attention to Hardsoul when he'd asked a question. He shook his head and gave his muzzle a spiteful lick.

"Okay, now up here..." Hardosoul's voice trailed off as he spotted a young mouse, nibbling on a seed. Hardsoul lowered himself into a hunter's steathly position and sprang, leaping onto the mouse and killing it with a blow to the neck. "The first lesson to hunting is always be thankful and respectful towards your food. Only take as much as you need and don't play or torture it. We'll get to that later, now, there is a two-leg nest close-by. No dout you've smelled it by now." They arrived at a two-leg nest, and Hardsoul paused and sniffed to make sure the nest wasn't already accoupied. He jumped up on the wall surronding the nest. The clearing you have already explored and Ahh, you need to see the stream." The stream was filled with rushing water that sparkled in the daylight. "I fell as an apprentice into this stream and got this scar from a rock." Hardsoul turned to show Grimpaw the scar that he beared. He wadded into the stream so water was up to his chest. They crossed to the side and Thunderclan scent wavered from the border. "Thunderclan! A NUISANCE!!!" he growled and turned to face Grimpaw. "That is Shadowclan territory(can't think of something to say)." |

[glow=red,2,300] ((Sorry, I just MUST interveine your fun... *smirks*))
Blackstar's green pools watched the mentor and apprentice, he knew that Hardsoul was young and didnt know the first thing about mentoring. He lifted his massive bodice out of the shrubs and walked towards the pair. His muscular shoulders powered through the undergrowth of there forest as he strode up towards the felines.
Very well... Thunderclan eh?
He said and sniffed the air. They were on a boarder patrol, as he saw there partol leaving over a hill. He saw Stripefur and Fernear... Alone? What is a warrior and the Leader doing alone on a boarder patrol? Blackstar growled and looked at Grimpaw.
Have they been on our side of the boarder?
He asked the young apprentice. He knew the answer, he just wanted to see if this apprentice had the nose to sniff it out. He looked at Hardsoul and hissed softly.
Thunderclan??!? They only...
His hiss became so soft that even Blackstar himself couldnt hear himself.. ((wow... thats confusing)) He once again turned his attention to Grimpaw. This apprentice was smart, and he knew it. He would make a great leader one day. But, that day, wouldnt be until Blackstar was too old, or dead to rule. [/glow] |

(sorry, but I did not understand what you just posted) Hardsoul sensed that Blackstar was judging him silently. What did Blackstar expect? This was his first time mentoring an apprentice, he should have had another new mentor with him, he wouldn't look so stupid. Hardsoul turned and gave Grimpaw a look telling him to answer quickly and smart, if he got this answer wrong Hardsoul would be so embarresed! His eyes turned back to Blackstar, and narrowed, if the leader was going to tell him that he couldn't mentor, he knew the leader was not going to be happy with him. |

((It seems as though you understood it perfectly. Now Grimpaw. They didnt cross the border, they just renewed the scent markers, but do you want Grimpaw to be true or false? Thats your decision, to be good to Hardsoul or let him fall... HEHE.. Im evil..))

Grimpaw didn't need to turn around to know that it was Blackstar that spoke. The voice was easy to indicate that it had come from him, though the young apprentice didn't expect the leader to join them during their little training session. However, he didn't mind at all, because he admired Blackstar.
"Have they been on our side of the border?"
Grimpaw tilted his head toward the sky, opening his muzzle just enough to distinguish ThunderClan's scent, then shook his head. "They were only here to renew their scent markers." When he finished speaking he gave glance to Hardsoul, wondering why the warrior had given him an uneasy look.

[glow=red,2,300] Blackstar smirked. His maw opened and his fangs dripped venom. His lime green orbs looked at the young apprentice.
Good, very good.
Blackstars gaze fell apon Hardsoul. His smirk widened and his twin harks faced him. He blinked and an evil flash flew across his orbs.
So far Hardsoul... So far...
He looked back to the apprentice and then to his mentor, then back again. He looked into the river, and slashed out at it. A silver fish flew threw the air and straight towards Grimpaw's face. His reaction would be key to life and death in some situations. [/glow] |

Grimpaw hadn't noticed the way Blackstar looked at Hardsoul, his attention elsewhere, but heard the faint splash of claws striking water. His amber eyes darted toward the resourced and saw a silver flying body moving toward him in improbable speed, but his reflexes saved him at the last moment, allowing him to duck away and turn around abruptly to watch what had been a fish hit the ground a few fox lengths ahead. His head quickly turned toward Blackstar, wondering just what his leader was thinking, tail flicking.

[glow=red,2,300] Once again, Blackstar smirked. He then turned around. His powerful shoulders pushing through everything that stood in his way. His massive figure was hard to get out of the big picture. His tail was the last thing that was seen as it flicked out of the picture. Good.. good... Unimagionable things went through Blackstars mind. He just smirked on the way back, and knew that both Grimpaw and Hardsoul might follow him, but also wonder what the hell he was planning, and thinking... [/glow] |

Hardsoul watched the apprentice duck from the silver flying fish and he ran over to the fish and killed it. "You are quite quick Grimpaw," he observed. "Perhaps we should skip to hunting now." He led Grimpaw past blackstar into the pine trees. His keen ears heard the mouse before he saw it. Grimpaw obviously heard the mouse too. "Get low,' he ordered. "Let your body sink into the ground. Now inch forward and try to catch it, I'll observe and tell you mistakes." Hardsoul hissed in Grimpaw's ear.

Grimpaw growled under his breath and licked his paw as Hardsoul rushed over to the fish that lay helplessly on the ground, flopping around as if it could eventually make its way back to the water. The apprentices attention shot back to the rustling undergrowth and knew that Blackstar had sneaked away.
"You are quite quick, Grimpaw. Perhaps we should skip to hunting."
He smirked inwardly to himself and flexed his claws into the earth, then looked over to his mentor. Grimpaw nodded and stood, stretched his paws out infront of him, and arched his back.

((srry Max, I don't even know what powerplaying is))
Hardsoul watched Grimpaw strech his paws and arch his back. "Now watch the mouse and make your pawsteps as light as possible, the mouse will feel you before he hears you." Hardsoul's eyes darted from his apprentice to the mouse.
((You can catch the mouse or not grimpaw, your decision))
