As she staggered quickly to her paws, she backed up, trying to find a rock or something she could launch an attack from. There! Her hind paws touched a heated stone, warmed by the light of the daytime sun.
Placing them more securely on the base of the rock, she leaped, aiming to land on Thistlepaw's shoulders and knock him flat. But just as she left the ground her paw nicked a long-dead root of grass, sending her slightly off course. Her move wasn't nearly as accurate now, though there was still a chance of her hitting her target. |
Thistlepaw scrabbled out from under his mentor before she could fall on him, clambering to his feet, she was back up and turning to launch at him in a moment, and though the attack was a bit off balance, she still managed to catch him over the shoulders with her paws, sending him rolling in the dry grass and dust. Disoriented from his tumble, Thistlepaw hastily got upright and bolted sideways. He had lost sight of Ambercloud in the confusion and was thinking only of how staying in one place was no good defensively.
