As she felt his paw trip her up she let out a yelp of frustration as she was once again tossed into the sand and rolled onto her side panting heavily. She just wanted to curl up and sink into the sand... she didn't wanna get up and see that smug expression of his.

She hated his stupid stupid voice, certainly now more than ever. She stood shaking the sand off of herself and glaring right back at him. "heh" she paused taking a huge gulp of air then spitting blood to the side "fine- what would the oh so great lionstorm do huh?" she wouldn't give in, she would die before she admit lionstorm of all cats had beaten her to the point of tears. "I- I cu- I can do this all day" she managed to sputter as the blood seeped between her teeth.

she opened her mouth to speak but quickly shut it. Make another noise and you'll cry, and You know it.

Lionstorm narrowed his eyes as he approached the fallen apprentice, his tail lashing. "You're too focused on your emotions, Skinpatches. If you want to win a fight against a larger cat, you need to use your body as an advantage. Trying to go in headfirst will get you no where, and if I were an enemy you'd have been dead several attempts ago."

He peered at her nose, noting the wound didn't seem serious, but she likely needed to stop by Shiverpetal's den to make sure. "Use your size and your speed. You're smaller and faster than me, and if you focused on that-- you could knock my legs out from beneath me and pin me down." Of course, she couldn't go charging in like she had been-- she needed to be strategic!

Lionstorm took a step back, lowering himself into a crouch. "Now try again."

He looked up however hearing spiderpaw question that was mostly filled with sarcasm. he gave a small , stuffed snort with a nod.

"watch closely." oakflame meowed, eyes narrowed in a playful way. the tom got into such a position it was hard to tell if he was actually crouching or completely leaning forward. it was clear he out most of his weight on his front paws through, "tense your muscles.." he mumbled. the brown feline then leapt up high, bringing his paws down on the ground harshly, wincing slightly as he felt his pads get scraped a bit, shaking it off.

"fancy," she muttered to herself, watching intently. who would waste so much energy on a single battle move, spiderpaw thought as she attempted the move. her tense shoulders were visible as she breathed heavily, rehearsing the action in her mind before doing it physically. her weight was in her front paws, and she tensed her muscles, as he had instructed. although it took a few seconds for her to adjust to the battling position, spiderpaw got to it and finished up the move with a leap, thudding on the hard floor of the training cave as she did so. her paws throbbed for a few seconds at the harsh landing, but she was proud of herself. all she had needed was a simple example. well, maybe not so simple.

"ook, did i do it right?" she questioned oakflame, looking up at him with curiosity and hope filled in her wide-open eyes. the apprentice hoped so. she had wasted so much of her energy testing that move, although maybe it was just because she hoped to impress him and the move didn't actually take that much of her very valuable, precious energy. in hindsight, the move was actually pretty fun to carry out, other than the fact that her paws had to slam violently against the floor. that part... wasn't so fun, to say the least.

"Okay!" Splashblossom said. "You know the hunting crouch, right?" She had suddenly changed her mind. "You know what," she said. "Let's go fishing!"

"What if I don't know the hunting crouch?" Tumblepaw questioned, trying to get on his mentor's bad side, like all apprentices do. "Teach me the hunting crouch!" he commanded, trying to waste time.

"Oh, I thought you wanted to have fun? Anyways the hunting crouch is the most important thing ever...." she started on a lecture she was planning, a long one. Yes, a long one indeed. Very long. Extremely long. Oh yes.

Oakflame gave a purr, a nod of approval to accompany it. "You did great , you just needed to see an example." he meowed, eyes bright like a fire. He took a moment to mentally prepare himself for the next move, running over the words in his head. "Okay..you got that down..next is..front paw strike." he said. "It's a bit similar to front paw blow, with leaping up. This time, your claws are unsheathed, and you drag your claws down the oppnents face." he explained, taking a chance to breathe.

"Of course, the leaping part isn't extremely necessary. But, for smaller cats, such as apprentices like you, it could help in soke ways " He said with a small grin.

The thundering pawsteps announced the arrival of an awkward-footed Pebblepaw. She had yet to grow into them, so she was rather clumsy. It didn't help that she was only six moons old, so she was still in that kitten faze. But Pebblepaw took her immaturity to the extreme for a cat her age. She was so excited, that she was practically jumping in place. She didn't know any fighting moves, and at the rate she was going, she was going to be tired out and wouldn't be able to practice them.

It was typically not a good idea to tell Pebblepaw what was being planned for the day. Snailriver was going to be lucky if he could get her to stay still long enough for him to give her any instructions. As she watched the other cats train, she started to get increasingly impatient. I can do that too! Why do I need to be taught to do it? Ah, the woes of being a new apprentice brimming with energy and inexperience. She dropped into a crouch like she was stalking prey, trying to imitate a battle position, then she pounced, flailing her paws and thudding onto the ground onto her belly.

"Oof... ow..." She whined. That had certainly smarted, but the apprentice was far from feeling ashamed or embarrassed for her actions. She was right back on her feet, shaking the dust from her pelt. "I guess I should wait after all." She probably would have attempted the move again, if she hadn't noticed that her fur was now a mess. She definitely wasn't going to be making the best impression on Snailriver if she made herself anymore filthy.

So, as she waited, she started to lick her fur. She knew it would only get dirty again, so she didn't bother making it perfect, she wanted to appear presentable. But, yuck, that dirt tasted awful! She so wished that she could sink her teeth into a delectable fish to wash away the taste, but she knew she wasn't allowed to. She'd get into big trouble for not shifting her weight now that she had a mentor. Well, it looked like she'd have to make do with spitting it out... "Bleh... pff!"

spiderpaw was slightly delighted that the leaping part wasn't particularly necessary, even though it might help her, but at the same time she felt a bit annoyed that she'd had to hurt her paw temporarily with the painful landing. "thank you," she replied at his compliment, beaming with characteristic pride. "front paw strike.." she murmured to herself as she watched him explain. she had been mentally hoping he would demonstrate, but the move seemed simple enough, so the apprentice didn't say anything or request an example.

if she could do a front paw blow, she would be able to do a front paw strike, right? that was what she repeated in her mind as she prepared herself for the move. spiderpaw glanced down at her furry paws, making sure the aforementioned paws were definitely unsheathed. for a moment she questioned whether she was supposed to be trying the move out on oakflame or just practicing it in the air. at first she tried slashing her claws down on an invisible cat that she was imagining. then she turned to her mentor, giving him a questioning look.

Frustrated? She was beyond that now and the throbbing pain in her nose was making her more agitated by the second. How many times had lionstorm knocked her right onto her butt? Way too many for her comfort. As the Tom approached she felt her lips curl back in a frustrated hiss ‘ ‘ isn’t that your job- to teach me how to do it instead of beating me up first? ‘ ‘ she sneezed sending a spray of blood onto the sand.

Her body already ached, her nose was dripping blood into her mouth and she had sand in just about every place imaginable. She would come away from this with a victory, no matter how much longer she had to stay here. ‘ ‘ fine old man ‘ ‘ she spat already fed up with his voice.

As he crouched she took a brief moment to look him over, he was sturdy and obviously much larger than she was. He’d already taken to mentioning it- she chewed her lip anxiously as the panic of failure flooded her mind. She crouched yellow eyes scanning his for a long moment, than she darted to the side using her momentum she managed to swing herself around just in time skidding behind him- in a split second decision her forearm shot out angled for one of his hind legs

"Fighting takes practice," Lionstorm informed her coolly. "This is a lesson in of itself: don't act, think. You rush into things too quickly Skinpatches, and look where that's gotten you."

This time, her plan worked! Lionstorm had anticipated her to lunge at his side, and he turned to parry that-- but missed how she swung around and hooked his hind-leg. His leg caved, causing him to buckle down though he didn't collapse completely, and his muzzle burst into a grin. "Much better! Maybe you're not completely hopeless after all, huh, Skinpatches?"
