The she-cat slid on the grass and regained her paws after she recieved a kick. Shinytalon quickly brushed away some mud from her eyes, supposedly here from the rains they had had recently that increased the rivers height. Bunching her muscles, she pushed forward, landing on top of the cat and leaning to the side, hoping to unbalancing Dreampaw.

Dreampaw fell to her side from her mentor's greater weight. She aimed a jab of her forepaw at her face, then slammed her legs into her belly again, this time, harder than before, to knock the wind out of her. Will we be done soon? I'm losing energy. I won't be able to keep this up much longer!

@Dirtfur
(For Dirt/Frozen, sorry it's short)

Frozenpaw plopped himself down in a sitting position course what his new mentor, Dirtfur, would have to teach him. The only think that Frozen knew about the tom was that he put dirt on his fur, which puzzled him. Awaiting his mentor to show him what to do Frozenpaw began grooming his long mess of a pelt. He hadn't had training for a while and was kind of excited. He just had to get enough training to become a warrior and he wouldn't have to be the over grown apprentice anymore.

"Let's work on some defensive moves, shall we?" He began. "Defending yourself from enemy attacks is equally as important as learning to attack them. So, let's say I'm a pesky ShadowClan warrior who has crossed the border, and I'm getting ready to leap at you. What do you do?" He quizzed her, squaring himself up to pretend to be an enemy cat. He dropped into a crouch, his muscles tensed as he acted as if he was about to pounce, just as he'd stated in his example. He wouldn't pounce just yet--he wanted to see if she knew what to do.

Once they reached the training hollow Riverpaw stopped and watched her mentor ponder what he'd teach her. It probably wouldn't be hard to come up with something with the lack of training she had.
As he stated they would be ding some defensive moves the small tabby tilted her head, interesting. Frowning her brows in thought River though on this example. Jumping forward would cause more risk of injury she suspected. But would going sideways? "Uh try to jump out of the way?" The silver tabby guessed whiskers twitching. It was the best she could come up with. "Like if a cat is jumping straight at you, you can jump to the side and dodge. Right?" She asked a bit nervous Eagleflight would jump right when she wasn't expecting him to. That was always possible, she suspected it was a good tactic to, striking when least expected.

Dirtfur, the new mentor of the big Frozenpaw, stumbled back and forth in front the old apprentice. Who knows what this apprentice had learned about. Heck! It looks like one more day of training and an assessment will make him a warrior sooner. Licking off the dirt from his tail, he looked back to asked the white grown apprentice.

"Tell me, what moves have you learned?"

oops

Shinytalon’s tail flicked triumphantly as Dreampaw fell under her weight. It was short lived however, as she ducked from the apprentices paw swipe and reared up on her hind legs, using the technique to watch where her apprentice dove next. Caught unaware she darted in front of her and kicked into Shinytalons belly. She felt the air rush out from her lungs ans she corrected herself on all four paws before colliding with the ground. Shinytalon abruptly stopped and sat, licking her paws and drawing them back behind her ears. "You’ve improved quite a lot," she purred happily.

Dreampaw got up, shaking out her fur. She purred happily. "I've been practicing while you weren't bringing me out for training.."

"Yes, very good!" Eagleflight praised with a nod of his head. "Here's a trick, though. Once you dodge their attack, you can catch them off balance when they land by spinning back around and swiping a paw at their legs, just before they hit the ground." He made a swiping motion in the air with one foreleg as he explained it to her. He then tried as best he could with only himself to show her how it was done. He pretended as if there was a cat jumping at him, slid to the left a bit, and then immediately did a tight spin with one paw outstretched.

"Would you like to give it a try? I'll be the enemy cat. You won't hurt me, I promise." He gave her a kind smile. This was so great! His first ever training session with his first ever apprentice. He was bursting with pride.

The warrior gave her an apologetic look. "I know.. I’m sorry Dreampaw." She looked back at the Riverclan camp. "With all these changes, no one has really been able to do anything. Riverclan never trusted us to go out alone." Shinytalon sighed, then gazed thoughtfully at Dreampaw. "Perhaps I’ll teach you a new move during our next training session. However if you’re not too tired we could do it now."

(or hunting?)

"How about hunting?" Dreampaw suggested. She wanted to show her mentor her pouncing and stalking.

@evergreen

Eaglepaw trotted around the hollow eagerly, waiting for his mentor, Cloudfang. There was so much they could do today! Hunting, fishing, swimming, fighting, or even some of each, if they wanted. He thought excitedly to himself. He was especially looking forward to seeing his mentor again. It had been a while, and Eaglepaw hasn't seen Cloudfang around camp much. Plus, Cloudfang knew more about Riverclan than he did, so he could always come to her for help.
