Star's First Training Day!!

[shadowstalker]

Skyhunter glanced at his novice and saw Rapid Waters looming over.
Quickly, he shot over to Rapid Waters and push the large cat right into the water and Sparrow leaped on top of him. He rolled over and shoved upwards, not only clawing Sparrow but pushing her high into the air with his strong legs. Sparrow landed on all four feet gracefully and jumped at him again. This time he was not ready for her and she spun him around rapidly until she landed on top.
Rapid Waters, without shaking out his fur, jumped out of the river and launched himself on top of Skyhunter too, not caring that he knocked Star right off her feet.
Before he got to Skyhunter, Sparrow, who's paws where all wet, slipped off of Skyhunter and Skyhunter leaped up, pushed Sparrow farther into his territory, skidding out of control. Rapid Waters knocked Skyhunter over but Skyhunter quickly slashed Rapid Waters' sides until blood welled up and Rapid Waters loosened his grip. Then Skyhunter pushed him off and skidding across the forest floor too.
By now Sparrow had come back and was running towards SKyhunter's open belly. Skyhunter pushed her off backwards when she leaped on him and Sparrow landed in the river with a splash.
Water filled up her lungs and she started choking. I'm drowning, she thought as she sank to the bottom. Suddenly she felt herself jerk up and out of the water before plopping on a stepping stone.
SKyhunter had saved her. Rapid Waters was limping towards her with a twisted paw and, when reached the stepping stones, pulled Sparrow up and limped across the stones without saying a word.
Skyhunter turned to Star and sank to the ground befor elicking a deep gash in his flank, panting heavily.

Star gasped as Rapid Waters pushed her over. She lay there, winded. Then her vision went black.

Star blinked open her eyes, and saw that the two Tribe of Flowing Rivers cats were leaping across the stepping stones back to their territory.
She turned her head and saw Skyhunter on the ground next to her.
For one horrid moment Star thought he was dead. But when she looked closer, she saw him licking his wounds, panting heavily.
"Thank the Tribe of Shining Spirits!" she exclaimed. She wasn't ready to become the healer of her Tribe. She had only just started her training!

[shadowstalker]

Skyhunter purred shakily,"I'm not ready to die yet, Star." He shivered, he was cold from his jump in the river to save Sparrow. He stood up and shook water from his pelt and stepped gingerly on his back leg. Pain shot through him and he tumbled down again, landing heavily on his side.
He got up again and this time gradually put weight on his leg. He managed to be able to limp in a circle."Alright, let's go," Skyhunter ordered, limping and stumbling off.
Limp, limp, limp, stumble. Limp, limp, limp, stumble.

[~*Sky*~]

Star padded cautiously at Skyhunter's shoulder, trying to support him whenever he stumbled. But she wasn't very good at it...she was not nearly as big as her mentor.

[shadowstalker]

Skyhunter was grateful for the little help that Star gave him. Suddenly he smelt a familiar smell and he bolted forwards before rolling down a hill as he stumbled.he skidded to a muddy stop by a big plant that had ball-like flowers.
"Yes!" he hissed thorugh clenched teeth, his cut flank burning like fire.

[~*Sky*~]

Star let out a startled mew as Skyhunter tumbled down the hill. She raced after him, and skidded to a halt beside him. "What is it?" she asked.

[shadowstalker]

"Come here Star, this is a good lesson. See this ball-shaped plant flower?" Skyhunter asked, sitting up with some difficulty.

[~*Sky*~]

Star looked at the flower plant. "Yes."

[shadowstalker]

"This is a poppy plant. Inside the balls are tiny seeds called poppy seeds and they dull the pain or help a cat sleep. You just crack it open and the seeds come out," as he spoke, he cracked the plant open and licked up a few seeds. "Only a few do the trick. NEVER overload a cat with seeds. The might go in unconsciousness if you do."
