ZERO TO HERO ✩ group training

[nightbird]

once the available apprentices gathered at the sand hollow, nightbird glanced over them swiftly. most of them were younger, only having been apprenticed within the past few moons. by now, they should be treading through the territory with ease. ease and silence were not synonymous. it was one of the things she dreaded about hosting these training sessions for all. different mentors focused on different things, there was no baseline, they moved slower. she would much rather be training duskpaw, he had this drilled into his head since their first training session. but her apprentice was still recovering, who knew when berryheart would deem him fit to return.

"we're going to be playing a game today, follow me." she left the sandy hollow, guiding the gathered group a bit deeper into the forest. she did not lag for anyone trailing behind, she had done enough of that on her way home from the mountains. "it's not enough to move through the undergrowth without getting stuck, you need to do it silently if you want to catch anything before earning your warrior names."

the lead warrior drags a stick out from some brush, setting it down as a starting point. "you will all wait here until i return to the sandy hollow, on my signal you'll begin to make your way back as well. if i hear you coming, you get sent back to the start. the first one to make it to me without being heard gets their pick of the fresh kill when hunting patrols return. understand?" nightbird leaves them whether they had questions or not to return to the sandy hollow. it was rather straight forward, hopefully they would find their footing eventually. "go!"

• NIGHTBIRD ✩ she/her, lead warrior of thunderclan, twenty-seven moons
  ⭃ nightbird is a small black smoke molly with pale silver eyes. a loner turned thunderclanner, her loyalty and drive to provide for her clan is unwavering. however, she is not known for harboring a bleeding heart, instead equipped with sarcastically fueled wit, brutal honesty, and a sharply edged tongue.
  ⭃ peaceful and healing powerplay permitted / / underline and tag when attacking ↛ see battle info here

[& RAINBOWPAW]

They had almost said, already? when they had initially been brought out here. The rogues were... how long ago? And the return was... how long ago? He supposes now that he htinks about it, it has been a few sunrises by now. But what's a few more sunrises of rest and relaxation? Rainbowpaw would think that fighting a battle or two... try, four, would warrant at least a few days of rest, but ThunderClan's elites never seem to take it down a notch. Rainbowpaw will do what they're told, so long as they're not expected to be bright - eyed and bushy - tailed, and stuff.

A game, though, that sounds a little more interesting. His eyes widen at the news, if only a smidge, and he would attempt to gauge the reactions of the other apprentices around him. With pricked ears, they listen, tail swishing steadily above the fallen leaves. As the dark molly unveils a stick, Rainbowpaw tilts their head in interest.

" Ooooo, " Rainbowpaw announces their interest, if a little tiredly. He wonders what " the signal " is, that is, until he distantly hears Nightbird's call over the breeze. Okay. Just, be quiet. Easy enough. Maybe if he wins, Raccoonstripe will wake him up a little later, tomorrow.

Tail hovering a whisker above the ground, Rainbowpaw creeps closer toward the end goal. Maybe he goes a bit quicker than he ought to, as a new apprentice, but worst thing that happens, he gets more chores. Pale pawsteps remain light— He can only describe it as a blessing, the few times that he narrowly avoids crunching on fallen leaves.

• ( I DO, I DO, I DO ) RAINBOWPAW: Sunfreckle xx Rabbitnose. Mentored by Raccoonstripe
  ✦ he / they ; fine with gendered terms ( tom / boy / brother / etc . . . )
  ✦ currently 5 moons old as of 11/2/2023 ; ages every 25
  
  warm - faced and bright - eyed, rainbowkit sports boyish features and an easygoing smile. he sports long curling whiskers and a dip of sun - red down the length of their neck. growing into themselves; rainbowpaw is showing signs of growing into an above - average height with a somewhat leggy frame. rainbowpaw is most plainly to be described as kind, his most tangible goals and motives being to make the people around him happy. somewhat aloof when it comes to more complex / outer clan issues. lives in the present first and foremost.

• this is for cute purposes begone.
