RiverClan Training Island

[EagleEye]

The rogue kit, Eagleeye, washed up on the shore of the island in a wet heap. Nearly dead of starvation, thirst, and sleep deprivation, he didn't even have the strength to lift his head. He wondered what the other cats would think when they saw the pile of bones wrapped in kitten fur he was lying on the shore. He knew there were other cats on this because he heard them. 'No doubt they'll chase me out of there territory like every other cat I met,' he thought bitterly. "food," his stomach growled. 'Shut up,' he thought to it. "water," it replied stubbornly. He wondered if he should just give up his fight to live, if he should just lie here and wait to die. He didn't have the strength to do anything else. 'At least in StarClan, the cats would be nicer,' he thought to himself 'and wouldn't go hungry or thirsty. I could eat and drink as much as I like.' His stomach agreed that last part would be an excellent idea. The thought of StarClan made him think about his parents, rogues and former clan cats who were killed by Bloodclan. The idea made him feel depressed. "Oh mother, father," he mumbled, "why did you have to go so early. Why couldn't you have stayed with me just a little longer." Tears silently fell from his eyes and soaked into the earth. A rabbit hopped up to him and snuggled close. Eagleeye didn't have the strength to kill it. Also, with the way it seemed to be trying to comfort him, he didn't want to kill it. "At least someone's nice to me, even if its not another cat," he mumbled to the rabbit.

The tom's jump left him just out of paw's reach and Sootflare didn't feel like rushing in again just yet, instead starting to circle the other tom and let him make the next move.

Cricketchirp felt a little giddy- he had managed to land a hit on Sootflare even after being floored several times. As Sootflare started to circle him, he immediately looked for an opening.
He lunged foward towards his left side, paw looking like it would try to swipe his legs and darted to the other side and head butted at his flank.

Still she wasn't the best, her natural lack of balance on the land combining with her internal desire to not hurt another cat giving a clunky edge to her swipes and blows. Despite all this she was quick and could leap with the best of cats creating a movement filled flurry of blows against an imaginary opponent that was almost impressive. Almost. Until she tripped.
Getting caught up on her own large paws during a leap and with no tail to level out Willowpaw flopped to the ground face first with a puff of dirt tossing up around her. She immediately jumped up to her feet with a quiet curse but the ruffled fur and epic failure made for an amusing (to anyone but her) image that thoroughly distracted her from any cat joining her on the island.

Blizzardsky had been swimming over to the island watching Willowpaw fight no one and then fall. He silently padded onto the island and over to her,” Real opponents are easier to practice on.” he rumbled to Willowpaw. He didn’t know why he found himself wanting to help her, he wouldn’t have cared if she never became a warrior honestly. She probably would attempt to murder him in her sleep if they shared a den.

Willowpaw narrowed her eyes at the large warrior eyes narrowing as he spoke. Was he? Volunteering to help her? BlizzardCRAB willingly helping her? "Why?.... Why would YOU just want to help me? Is this a prank?" She was extremely suspicious about his motives here and so turned to practice her feint swipes half an ear on the warrior. "But if you want to get hit a ton today I guess I wont stop you." She snorted skeptically at the idea that he'd actually want to do that. Though maybe he wanted to fight her to try and prove he was superior or something? If he was Willowpaw was definitely going to show him better (maybe).

GlowPaw, glared at AspenSky while the kit was jumping at his nose. He looked down at the "apprentice" while trying to intimidate her. 'They are such idiots!' GlowPaw backed up and went into a crouch, he then attempted to pounce on AmberPaw, trying to pin her. @wnder @Sklee

She quickly backed up, trying her best to avoid the pin, but failed.

Blizzardsky flicked his tail at Willowpaw shrugging,” I’m not an apprentice anymore. I’m suppose to help apprentices to become warriors. And that includes you, what would Lionstar say if he was nearby and saw that I ignored you practicing here. He’d be disappointed in me for that.“ he shrugged letting Willowpaw strike his ear. He flicked his tail,” Do you need help in avoiding blows or just landing blows?” he asked

[Reptilian Cabinets]

GlowPaw barely caught AmberPaw and looked up at AspenSky with a a blank face. "There, now go teach this kit how to claw and leave me be." He growled, not realizing or caring that his claws were unsheathed and could easily hurt AmberKit.

[EagleEye]

Eagleeye, despite his aching limbs, finally managed to get shakily to his feet. He stood there for a moment, deciding if he should head to or away from the other cats, before making up his mind and limping toward the sound of the Warriors and warriors-in-training. He managed to walk a short distance before passing out of hunger and sleep deprivation in clear sight at the edge of the training grounds.

[Sklee]

She felt his claws scrape against her fur, and she instinctively tried to throw him off.
