Lightstream followed the stream from the waterfall down to the canyon, carefully picking her way down the steep rock face and landing in the middle of the stream, narrowly avoiding a sharp rock. She jumped back to the firm ground, and disappeared in the bushes at the side of the stream.

Nightpaw followed Lightstream as quietly as he could, feeling proud that Lightstream hadn't noticed him yet. He slipped on the rock and desperately clawed at the slippery rocks, trying to regain his balance.

Lightstream picked up the sound of claws on rocks. Only then did she know some cat was following her. She paused to scent the air, and caught a whiff of Nightpaw's scent. Smiling approvingly to herself, she padded on, pretending she had not found out about Nightpaw.

Nightpaw regained his balance and fell again. This time he slid down on the rocks and landed with a loud splash. He quickly stood up and saw that Lightstream still hadn't noticed him. He thought how strange it was that Lightstream still didn't see him, but perhaps he was good at not being noticed. He continued following Lightstream, already imagining telling the other apprentices about his adventure.

Lightstream padded calmly on, slipping through bushes which was still wet with dew. She took a shortcut through a small uncommonly used path back to the stream. She then tracked Nightpaw by following the scent trail he had left.

Nightpaw had a hard time following Lightstream. After he fought his way through bushes weighed down with dew, he found himself in a path he had never seen before. He saw that it led back to the stream. Nightpaw turned around, and started going back the way he had come. After a few minutes, he saw Lightstream coming toward him from the other direction. At once, Nightpaw clawed his way up a tree and settled on a branch overhanging the path. He waited for Lightstream to arrive under his branch and then he could jump down and show her how good he is at tracking.

Lightstream let out a mrrrw of laughter as she saw the brown apprentice climbing up a tree. It was a good trick, she know, and also the apprentice's pelt was blended in with the tree bark. Lightstream decided to go under the tree, let Nightpaw do what he was planning to do, but this way to show him some fighting moves and tracking tricks.

Nightpaw jumped down. He wanted to jump on top of Lightstream and scare her, but misjudged the leap. With a loud thump, he landed on the forest floor. He turned on Lightstream and started battering her with his paws, claws seathed.

Trying to control her laughter, Lightstream softly grabbed one Nightpaw's front paws as he battered at her. "Nightpaw, shtop it!" she muttered through a mouthful of fur.

"I scared you, didn't I?" Nightpaw said excitedly "Didn't I, Lightstream? If you had been a rouge, I would've clawed your fur off!!!

"No, you didn't." Lightstream replied truthfully, "I knew you were following me since you fell into the stream." She searched carefully for any signs of disappointment on the apprentice's face. She didn't want to disappoint the eager apprentice. "But it was good skills you have shown." she added quickly.

Nightpaw's face fell but lightened up instantly when Lightstream praise. "Do you think I can be a true apprentice soon?" he asked eagerly.

"I'm sure Hawkstar will make a ceremony for you soon," Lightstream replied assuringly. Then she asked, "do you want to learn some tracking skills? I can teach you some if you want."

Lightstream tilted her head to the side thoughtfully, which is more important? she thought, hunting or fighting? I won't have much time to teach him something, and we are going to move to Korkea Maa soon. She decided to teach him to hunt in case there are not enough prey on Korkea Maa. "I'll teach you how to hunt first," she mewed cautiously, adding a "first" to her reply so she won't disappoint the eager apprentice.
