Only time will tell if we’re all just cynics on the run ####  Ravenstar woke up with a yawn as the warm rays of sunlight shone though the entrance of her den. Another day was among them. Another day where she had Clanmates missing at Lynxstar's cause. She saw through the smoky tom's lies. He didn't have them. But who did?
She rose to her paws and stretched. The half-moon was almost upon them, which meant a battle was near. She didn't plan on fighting them in their camp. Many of her warriors didn't know how to climb. ThunderClan would hide in the trees like squirrels. She needed to prepare them.
What better way to do so than with the apprentices? Featherpaw needed a mentor in Tawnylight's absence. Ravenstar decided to take up the task in respect for her deputy, and for the sake of her Clan. She didn't have many warriors, which meant Featherpaw and Daisypaw were likely going to be forced to fight. She didn't want this for them. They came here seeking shelter, but they were going to be thrown into a war they never asked for.
She shook her head. It would be best to focus on the task at hand. Ravenstar made her way to the apprentices' den, grabbing a possum from the fresh-kill pile on the way. She placed it at the entrance before calling her apprentice. "Featherpaw? It's time to get up." If we’re all just cynics come undone |

Featherpaw lay in a snowy corner of the camp, attempting to blend in with the soft powder. After coming back to camp after her early walk, she was unable to sleep again, looking for something to do. As she huddled unmoving in the snow, the she-cat thought of her encounter during her small expedition. Her attention was soon caught by the figure of Ravenstar emerging from her den. After her previous mentor had vanished, the leader had taken it upon herself to train the apprentice. The young cat was grateful and honored that she had been chosen, wanting to work hard and help her clan. The clash with Thunderclan was looming closer and closer, and training was more important than ever. The tabby hurried over to the apprentice's den where her mentor was entering. "Ah, Ravenstar! I was uh... just practicing some camouflage. Are we training today?" She quickly realized that her pelt was covered in snow, embarrassed, she attempted to clean her messy pelt. Ultimately failing, the apprentice sat attentively in front of her leader, awaiting instruction. Darkclan had taken her in when she was in need of help, and Featherpaw was determined to repay the debt to her clan.

Only time will tell if we’re all just cynics on the run #### Ravenstar let out a soft chuckle. "Yes, we'll be working on some battle training today. If we have the time, we might hunt on our way back to camp." She explained, flicking her dark tail. "Eat first though. You'll need your strength." She nudged the possum towards the apprentice.
As she waited for Featherpaw to finish eating, Ravenstar's blue eyes fell on the horizon. The clouds didn't seem hostile, and they looked to be thinning out. Hopefully it would warm up soon. The more prey they had, the better. She knew Spiderface would be stressed with a coming war. He didn't have the benefits the other Clans had. He couldn't grow his own herbs using his element.
She shook her head and stood up. "Ready to go?" If we’re all just cynics come undone |

Happy that she would be training, Featherpaw quickly ate the possum, savoring the taste of the meat. As she gulped down her meal, the apprentice thought about the oncoming war. It would be difficult, Thunderclan had a variety of elements whilst Darkclan only had one. She was worried about the casualties that would befall both clans, no one deserved to be hurt over a disagreement. They knew that their missing warriors were not with the other clan, yet the war was still being fought... After eating her fill, she gave herself a quick groom before finishing. Featherpaw buried the remains of the possum before standing up "Yeah, where are we going?" She wanted to be prepared, after training with Spiderface and her warrior mentors she wanted to apply everything she learned into helping her clan.

Only time will tell if we’re all just cynics on the run whoops thought I already replied sorry! Ravenstar flicked her tail before signalling for the apprentice to follow her. "We're heading to the Night Rocks. It's early, so I don't think anyone will be hunting there. It's the best place for battle training in my opinion." She meowed. She felt her paws sink in the wet earth, the valley's way of showing that Leafbare was coming to an end. Soon, no one would go to bed hungry. Her biggest concern at the moment was preparing her Clan for the coming fight. She didn't know when she'd attack ThunderClan, but her warriors were calling for a war. As much as she didn't necessarily want one, she knew it was coming. If we’re all just cynics come undone |

Feathersong trailed behind her mentor as they walked through the territory. The young cat was wondering so much about what she would be learning that she only half heard Ravenstar speaking about Night Rocks. Quickly snapping out of it, she followed the Darkclan leader obediently. The scents of Leafbare were beginning to grow fainter, the earthy scents of Newleaf were starting to appear. The muddy ground would give an advantage to Thunderclan, training battle moves only made the thought of war more real. Protecting their clan was a concern every cat in the Valley had, fighting was just one way to do it. Fluffing out her pelt against a sudden cold breeze, the apprentice thought about how quickly time was passing. It seemed almost like yesterday when she had left Windclan to join the one she loved now. Protecting the feeling of home and family in her clan for cats seeking shelter there was Featherpaw's main concern.
(It's okay! :3)

Only time will tell if we’re all just cynics on the run #### Once they arrived at Night Rocks, Ravenstar sat down for a moment. She flexed her claws into the ground before standing up again. "Alright. Could you demonstrate your fighting stance for me please?" She asked, flicking her tail. Even if it was basic, Ravenstar wanted to make sure that Featherpaw was well prepared for her upcoming fight. She didn't know when DarkClan would take the fight to ThunderClan, but she knew it would be soon. She wanted to help the apprentice perfect every aspect she could before she'd have to use it.

Featherpaw followed Ravenstar to Night Rocks, anticipation was bundled up in a ball, about to burst. Quickly running through everything she had learnt, she hoped that she had practiced enough. Listening to her mentor's instructions, she quickly positioned herself in a fighting stance. She had refined it over and over again, with a bit of what both her previous mentors had taught her. "Is this good?" The apprentice was sure she had gotten it right, but there was always room for improvement.

Only time will tell if we’re all just cynics on the run #### Ravenstar observed the apprentice's stance carefully. Overall, it was pretty well done. She didn't see any major errors to fix. Tawnylight certainly trained her well when she did. She'll be back to finish your training. Ravenstar thought. She prayed to StarClan that ThunderClan didn't lay a claw on her cats. That was a hard thing to hope for.
She pushed those thoughts away for now. It was time to train Featherpaw. "Good. Now, let's work on some sparring without our element first." She meowed. Ravenstar got into a battle stance and signalled for Featherpaw to go first.

Featherpaw's pelt bristled with anticipation, this was what she was waiting for! A chance to prove herself. Watching her leader closely, the apprentice sprang forward and feinted pouncing at her. Rolling to the side, she quickly activated From Shadows, wrapping the shadows to her pelt and concealing the cat. Creeping to the side, Featherpaw bunched up her muscles and launched herself at Ravenstar. She knew the chances of her winning against her mentor were slim, but it would allow her to learn and grow.
