Phoenixfire smiled at nightpaw his ears perked and yellow eyes alert as well as keen. his tail twitched as he began deciding on the sort of battle moves he was going to teach her first

Nightpaw shuffled her paws, eager to learn some battle moves.

he grinned and showed her a few clawing skills that could fend of an attacker. he invited her to attack him so he could show her how to use them against someone else.

Nightpaw nodded and then ran behind Pheonixfire and bit his tail (but not hard). She was eager to see some of the clawing moves her mentor had shown her in action .

with a flash he turned a round and with a light cuff he batted her off him he then gave her a few light taps to her head and said "good try nightpaw you are goin to be an excellent fighter yet!" he frowned thinking for a few moments then nodded and said "next im going to teach you the duck and twist its a Simple defensive move. The wolf ducks then twists around, rolling over onto his/her back, and then springs to their paws." he stood up and then ran for a bit ducking under twisting on to his back then springin back to his paws, he grinned slightly "just like that you try now"

Nightpaw smiled at the praise but it soon turned to a frown of confusion and concentration as she watched her mentor. "alright, I'll give it a go." she says and hesitates before moving. She ran forwards a bit, ducked under and twisted on her back although she lost a little of her momentum as she tried to spring back onto her paws, but managed to gain her balance again before looking towards Pheonixfire for feedback

Phoenixfire nodded slowly his eyes bright "well done, you lost a little of your momentum as you tried to get back up but if you practise it more you will get better at it"

Nightpaw smiled abd then padded back over to Pheonixfire to await more instructions of what to do next.

He grinned softly then yawned and murmured "try it again and again"

Nightpaw nodded and spun around away from Pheonixfire. Yet again she ran forwards, ducked under and twisted on her back, then sprang back up onto her paws. A smile stretched across her face and she did the sequence yet again landing swiftly on her feet.

he grinned softly and then said "want to learn another tecnique? its a lot like the one you have just been practising only except its an attacking move" his tail wagged slowly orangygold eyes burning like fire.

She looked back to her mentor and smiled "alright" she said an padded over to him, waiting for him to show and tell her how to do it.

he ran then turned on his back and raked his claws through the air then stood back up, the principal the same as the other technique only with a raking slash in it. he grinned "thats usefull for attacking wolves that are bigger than you"

She flattened her ears back jokingly "like you?" she commented and stuck her tongue out cheekily at him

He grinned and gently nosed her over before nodding "yes, now come and try it out on me" *he winked "try and be gentle with yoru claws on my belly though"

She chuckled and nodded "alrighty, i'll keep my claws in" she said and trotted a couple of paces away. Turning around, she ran towards him then turned on her back, raked her paws on Pheonixfire's belly (claws in) then stood back up. She looked back at him, waiting to hear feed back on what she could've done better etc.

he nodded then turned his head to inspect his stomach then said lifting his head again "aim more for the soft part on my belly where your claws can go in deeper and inflict mroe damaage, remember you dont want to kill the other warrior but overpower him so he will surrender" he smiled and sat down his golden fur moving in the breeze "however that was a very good first attempt, also when you are rolling keep your tail tucked in a little more so that way the other wolf wont be able to grab you by the tail"

Nightpaw's eyes beamed with delight, but that was the only sign that gave away her pleasure. She was determined to become the best warrior of Thunder Clan she could be, so took everything Pheonixfire said in. Nightpaw tucked her tail between her legs and sat down. The only way you're gonna remember is to do it all the time..., she told herself and made sure she sat on her tail, her tongue hanging out of her mouth as she looked up at the clouds then back to Pheonixfire.

he smiled faintly "you look hungry why dont we leave off battle moves for a bit and begin practising hunting instead?" he grinned and flicked his tail his eyes sparkling.

Nightpaw's ears shot straight up at the mention of the words 'hungry' and 'hunting'. "Sure!" she yipped and got up, her eyes bright with anticipation.

he flicked his tail and said "show me your hunting stance" his eyes fixed on his apprentice with a firey presicion.

Nightpaw wrinkled her nose up as she thought about how she used to do 'hunting crouch' when she was a pup. Dropping down to the floor she put her chest to the ground and her tail between her legs, although her butt was high in the air she kept her gaze fixed on a leaf in front of them, not daring to move a muscle.

He blinked then said "lower your rear, stick your tail out behind you for balance on this, keep it above the leaves on the ground so that you dont rustle the leaves and lift your chest a little"

Nightpaw did just as Pheonixfire said; lowering her rear and sticking her tail out from between her legs but keeping it lower to the ground, then lifted her chest slightly off the ground. "Like this?" she asked him, one ear flopping over questioningly
