Breezelight's eyes gleamed with pride as she curled her tail around her two kits, HAwk leapt onto StarRock, his muzzle lifted high, "Today, I bring two new apprentices into our new clan. Fidgetkit. Come here." "Wait." it was Tinytail, she looked uncertain, his gaze swung around to meet the toms, "They... their only four moons old Hawk, shouldn't we-" he was cut off "Do you wish to challenge me TinyTail?" he spat flexing his claws into the dirt, muscles rippling along his spine, the tiny tom shook his head quickly and retreated a few steps, Hawk watched him go before speaking once more, Terran at his side. "Fidgetkit, come here." Owlkits littermate shuffled forward a few steps, looking terrified, "Your mentor will be Terran, You will be fidgetpaw from now on." he flicked his muzzle towards Terran who darted forward, leading Fidgetpaw away, Owlkit paused, her eyes scraping the samp one last time, the scent of rotten prey filled the clearing, bones littering the dens and in a corner the two elders swiped at each other over a tiny scrap while nearby was Hawks prey pile, only his closest cats could eat prey like that, including Breezelight and Shadowshard. "Owlkit. I will mentor you. You will be known as Owlpaw," he flicked his muzzle and cats retreated across the camp, aware that it was over.

She carefully padded after the large tom, his broken yellow teeth were bared as he padded across the camp, he shook out his fur before darting through the tunnel. "Someday Owlpaw, your campmates will learn to respect you... but you must earn it, fear is as respect. They are the same thing really, Your campmates must fear you in order to respect you." his clear gaze wung around to meet hers, she nodded quickly, he turned to face her, "I will train you so you can beat even me." he spat he flicked an ear "In exchange for your full loyalty." sudden excitement bubbled in her chest, he was the most powerful cat in the forest, he would train her to be strong and powerful... she need this  "Of course" she breathed he narrowed his eyes, "Attack me." he spat she blinked, taken aback, he flicked his tail tip, "we havent all day." she hurled herself dprward, fastening her claws onto his should and raking them across his flank, drawing blood, he swung a paw around, knocking her off, at once he launched forward, almost crushing her with the impact, "Nice try... Again."
