Blackrain paitintly waited for her aprentace to arive to his traing. She decided she would take a new aproch to traing by getting to know him first. She would make him do dificult tasks making him realize it wasnt about how fast you do it but the strength and aticipation you use while doing it.

Nightpaw bounded out of the apprentice's den, looked arounnd carefully, then raced to Blackrain's side. "Are we ready to go?" he asked his new mentor excitedly. "What will we start with? Hunting or fighting?" He stared at Blackrain with wide and bright eyes.

"First we get to know eachother.. Me geting to know your weakness." Blackrain comley stated the fact they wouldnt be fighting just yet. "Sorry to burst your bubble I would just like to know you beter." Blackrain smiled at Nightpaw hoping to calm him down.Her blue eyes glistening in the sun her lush prlt blowing in the wind.

"Oh," Muttered Nightpaw, slightly disappointed. "Ah well. So what are we going to do? I already know you."

"I would like you to Try and move that big boldder to the larggest oak over there. Before the next hour if you make it half way I will know you will be a great warrior."Blackrain looked at Nightpaw he was a handsome tom but does he have what it takes is the real question.

Nightpaw looked at the boulder. It was about as big as him, and the oak was quite far, almost at the other end of the Camp. On the other hand, (or paw) he was unusually strong. He set to work instantly, pushing and heaving at the huge rock, but it hardly moved at all and several times he had to rest, gasping for breath and taking large and grateful gulps of cold water from a nearby stream. However, after an hour he was confident that the boulder was at least half way to the oak, perhaps a bit closer. Nightpaw slumped against it breathing heavily, his muscles aching, but pleased with himself all the same.

"Verry well done!" Blackrain was impresed at the progress that Nightpaw had made. Her blue eyes glistened in the bright sun as she steped towards the young tom. "HE will lead to greatness" blackrain wishperd to herself as she smiled so big it made her cheeks hurt.
"Have you learnd anything?" Blackrain looked into Nightpaws eyes so that she could see her own light sky blue eyes in the reflection of his. She quickly looked away her beautiful pelt shook as she had done so.

Nightpaw watched Blackrain thoughtfully for a moment than replied, "Well, I learned that it is easier to push a rock on a smooth and flat ground rather than on a rocky and uneven one, even if that means that I don't go straight to the rock. I also learned that I make more progress if I push it more slowly, because I don't get tired so easily that way. But why does it matter? I mean, when I'm a warrior I won't be pushing boulders."

"Yes but you may be going through things that take more effert making it easier to go slower to take your time."Blackrain smiled as she was happy that Nightpaw was a fast learner. "would you like to do more training or are you good for today you must be tired."Blackrain looked at the young aprentace with thought.

"No, we can continue, I'm not that tired!" he replied defiantly. "I want to continue! I want to learn more! Anyway, its only past sunhigh, we have lots of time." he looked at Blackrain majestically, as though he'd just won an argument with reasoning. Then he added more thoughtfully, "I suppose we have time to go a bit further into the territory, do we? We could hunt, or... or check the borders or something." He looked up at Blackrain and added imploringly, "Please!"

"OK if you insist but, We will train after hunting."Blackrain smiled she was happy that Nightpaw was eger to thingyinue his training. Blackrain motioned Nightpaw to come with her she led him to a large opening with many small feild mice. "You will hunt for one hour no training, well see what you can do. Im going to go take a short hunt a ways back." Blackrain instructed as she started to walk away. "Dont forget not to eat your kill until I get back." Blackrain teased the young Tom as she smiled to herself and walked away.

Nightpaw was fairly good at hunting and before he got a mentor Lightstream had taught him to hunt one day so he was pretty confident. Nightpaw lost about half of the mice because he had never been properly trained, but by the end of the hour he had caught seven field mice. He walked back to camp with his tail held high and the mice dangling from his jaws by their tails. He looked around carefully, searching for Blackrain and walked over to her. He wanted to show his catch to his mentor before putting them on the fresh-kill pile.

"Well... I've sneaked out of camp once or twice when I was a kit to try hunting..." Nightpaw muttered, wondering whether he was going to get told off. He rushed on, "And Lightstream once took me to that big waterfall and taught me to hunt. I mean, it wasn't real training, just you know, sort of for fun. I caught a... Anyway, never mind," he added, realizing that he was babbling. He looked down at his paws in embarrassment, waiting for Blackrain to speak. He nudged one of the mice with his paw, unsure what to do now.
