Chapter II: First Day of Training

Aurora:

Date: July 2nd, 2019.
Time: 6:00 A.M.

The next day, training began. We all reported to the forest very early that morning than usual, as I would now be tasked to help out with not only the apprentice training, but I would also be training Shadow as well as he was now my apprentice.

DawnHeart:

I remember me sitting in the line with my brothers, sisters, friends, den mates, and our cousins, waiting for Aurora to show up so we could begin.

Once she made it, she caught a glimpse of all of us, patiently waiting for instructions, our father, Chief ArrowHeart, along with MoonStone, General CrimsonFoot, our mother, StealthHunter, Eagle, and Compass and the rest of the Co-leading Animals and the apprentices' trainers were there as well. "Ah, Aurora, there you are." Chief ArrowHeart said. "Are you ready to get started?"

"Yes, sir." She replied. Then MoonStone began to speak: "Good morning, apprentices and welcome to training and welcome back to our older apprentices. Today we'll start training; Fighting apprentices, you'll be with your trainers, General CrimsonFoot, Captain BlackFang, Chief ArrowHeart, and Aurora; Hunting apprentices, you'll be with your trainers, StealthHunter, and DeerPounce and the rest goes for all of you. To those who are still training, make sure you help out the new apprentices."

We all went on with training, following our trainers, General CrimsonFoot, Aurora, and Captain BlackFang.

ShadowStalker:

When we made it to the training center, we began our training from there. "Let's begin with the basics." Aurora began when we all settled down. Then General CrimsonFoot and Chief ArowHeart began the session by showing off a few stalking techniquesthat would work when it came to suprising the enemy and catching them off guard when they least expected us to attack them. That was one point of being a fighter, sneaking up on your enemy when they least expected it and then atack them when they least expected that as well.

Then Captain BlackFang went on to demostrate a fighting move that involved using our stealth skills. Once they finished demostrating, they then gave us a chance to practice what we were shown.
...
After Antler and Strike gave it a go, me and Falcon went next; Falcon and I practiced the skills we were taught and when he was down long enough, I ran and hid, confusing him. Then, I pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.

"Excellent work, Shadow!" Aurora told me.

"Yeah, you're so bad for one who had the blood of a rogue." Falcon teased, as he got. I was offeneded easily by what he said to me at that moment; he had always called me things such as, "Rogue bobcat" or, "Rogueblooded cat" during the journey to the Northeast Forest and when me, my mother, and sisters joined the Forest Spirits Division after we were exiled by Chief DoveFeather. I lashed out quickly, unsheating my claws and swiping my right paw across his ace, scarring the bridge of his muzzle. "Ow!" Falcon exclaimed. "What'd you do that for?!"

"Well, it serves you right, you asshole!" I snarled back. Then my mother escorted him back to the camp to receive treatment for his wound and just as they were doing so, Chief ArrowHeart and Aurora came up to me. "I think we need to have a little talk." CHief ArrowHeart gently growled, scowling down at me.

All three of us left the training area and when we were far enough from it, we all turned to face one another. Whereas I looked down at the ground and sulked. "Do you wanna explain what happened back there?" Chief ArrowHeart asked me, but I didn't reply to him at that moment and kept on looking at the ground. "Look at us when we're talking to you, young man! You outta know batter than to do that, mister!" Aurora scolded. Then, I shot up, sat straight up and looked to face both of my trainers at that very moment. "Now, let me ask you this again: Do you mind telling us what happened back there?" Chief ArrowHeart went on.
