- BranchClan & ShadeClan - Part 1 - The New Clans -

Wolfpaw nodded, and saw Lionstorm zig zag. He leap for Wolfpaw's right side, and didn't give him enough time to react, Wolfpaw fell over backwards.

Branchstar looked around his camp, which seemed vast and quite large with no cats in it.

"You okay, Wolfpaw?" Lionstorm asked. "But I want to warn you. Sometimes, in battle, the enemy will try to fake you out. The best thing to do is strike back. I'll give you a hint; aim for one spot but strike another, like this." He gazed at a spot in the ground, but then leaped, and slashed a spot a few pawsteps left of it. Sand came flying up in his face. Shaking it off, he added, "But don't do that. Now you try."

Wolfpaw nodded. "Fine!" He said, leaping back up playfully. He nodded, as he listened. Wolfpaw looked right at Lionstorm's left flank, and pounced. He changed direction, and flew toward Lionstorm's chest,.

Lionstorm flew backward, tumbling to the edge of the hollow. The breath had been knocked out of him, and he struggled for air for a moment before finally coughing. "Whoa..." His voice was rather exhausted. "Easy. That should be hard enough..." He stumbled towards his apprentice. "We should go back." With that, he began to pad out of the hollow.

Wolfpaw was surprised by how hard he had hit his mentor, he felt kind of sorry, but also felt really powerful. "Ok.." Wolfpaw murmured, and followed his mentor. Did I hurt him? Wolfpaw thought.

"No need to feel down about yourself." Lionstorm told his apprentice. "It's a warrior's job to endure attacks that come towards them, but still, you shouldn't aim in vital spots during training." He affectiontely nosed his apprentice behind the ear slightly. "I should be the one sorry for worrying you."

Wolfpaw nodded. "I'll try not to that anymore," Wolfpaw said, and smiling when Lionstorm nosed him. "Ok.. I'll race you to camp!" Wolfpaw said, and started racing toward camp, which wasn't far off.

Lionstorm breezed ahead, making it into the camp just claw-lengths ahead of Wolfpaw. He took a deep breath and padded into the nursery.

"How are you, Blueclaw?"

"Fine," the tan queen replied, rolling over to face her mate.

"We'll probably need a medicine cat soon," Lionstorm sighed, shrugging.

Blueclaw absentmindedly nodded.

Wolfpaw sighed, and looked crestfallen. "You win.." He muttered, just before Lionstorm padded into the nursery.
