Moonleaf padded into the clearing, the sun reflecting off her silver pelt. Today was the first day out with her apprentice, and she was feeling confident. "Here we are," she meowed happily, looking at Dragonpaw. "I guess we better train, huh?" she asked him, waiting to see how eager he was for his first day out.

"Yes, let's start right away!" Dragonpaw meowed eagerly. So he padded farther into the clearing to find a perfect training spot for his first lesson.

Moonleaf twitched her whiskers in amusement. I have a feeling he's going to learn quick.. She padded to the spot where she used to train with her mentor, and sat down. "First, we're going to learn the hunter's crouch," she meowed to him. She crouched down, so her belly was level with the grass. Her tail was flat against the ground, and her backside was in the air. She pounced on a leaf, and nodded for Dragonpaw to do as she did.

Dragonpaw watched very attentively and patiently while waiting for permission to try it himself. He watched her movements carefully; after Moonleaf said he had to do it exactly as her, he started paying even more attention. "Alright, my turn!" he meowed happily. On his first try, he missed the leaf (his positoning was off). On his second try, he pounced on it clumsily, but he had learned, and was ready for his third try.

"This time, make sure to keep your tail low to the ground and straight; you need to stay balanced," Moonleaf meowed. She repeated the technique, and she was sure Dragonpaw would have it this time. "Try again!" she meowed, encouraging him on.

This time Dragonpaw calculated the distance of his jump remembering what he did wrong last time. He thought he would get it to be perfect. After he got into the crouching position he said, "Ok Moonleaf I'm ready for my third try !"

Moonleaf nodded her head, waiting for his leap. "Concentrate," she reminded him. She sat down quietly, and ran her paw over her head. "Now, stay in your crouch; you have to catch 5 leaves. Then we will move on.." she meowed, and this time gave him permission. "Go!"

Dragonpaw pounced, landing on the leaf with accuracy and skill. He lifted his head in triumph, and looked for Moonleaf's praise. 4 more to go.. She will be proud! He melted back into the crouch, getting better and better. Soon he had caught his 5 leaves, and he was ready for the next step. He sat down, his eyes lit with happiness for the first time in his life.

"Good job!" Moonleaf praised Dragonpaw, her eyes twinkling. "Okay, the next step is combat," she explained. This was her favorite thing to teach, the thing she was best at. "Attack me, when I tell you, okay? Just keep your claws sheathed," she meowed to him as she was getting a firm stance on the ground. "Attack me!" she commanded moments later, her tail and head held in place as she waited for his pounce.
