Aesalon needed a clan, needed it more than she needed anything else. She was seven moons old, but already the innocent spark had left her haunted eyes. Seven moons old. Three moons since her mother died on a Thunderpath, eight since her father had left her mother to fend for herself and her unborn kits, most of whom left to join small rogue groups. She had since taken to the loner life, but that phase had lasted only a moon before she was driven from her refuge by rats. By the garbage cans, she had heard of clans in the wilderness, clans where everything was shared and the clan survived together, and she had slowly gathered knowledge on each and every significant one.
SunClan, she had decided one night, gazing up at the brilliant stars. Tempered by the city's lights, they had nonetheless been her greatest companions.
And so she had journeyed, talking to loners and fellow travelers. Hunting was better in the wilderness, it appeared, and it was easier to find water. She had to defend herself, of course, but no more than in the city. It had taken two moons of roughing it to make it here, and now she was willing- no, determined to learn how to hunt, to fight. She was ready.

Crunching the snow beneath his paws, Frostpaw found himself on the opposite side of the two-leg border. Now, he was on the border that marked the entrance to the Loner Lands. Each paw was weighed down by what felt like lead, but it was the argument that he had started in front of everyone. Every apprentice he'd ever known had seen them fight, and seem him rage like he didn't even know was physically possible. Still, meeting new cats always calmed him down. As his eyes came to rest on Aesalon, he tilted his head. It was weird seeing loner cats and not kitty-pets, "Hello there, what brings you to SunClan borders?" Instinctively, he puffed himself up so he at least LOOKED formidable.}

Aesalon jumped, though she tried to hide it. She hadn't expected someone to come by so soon. Smiling charmingly at the tom, she started a hint of a purr. "Hello. I am Aesalon. I've heard so much about your clan, and I would love to join. I want to learn all you can teach me." She did, at that. Scanning the apprentice's features, she decided he couldn't be much older than her. He must be- what did Clan cats call cats in training? Apprentices, she thought, though she wasn't entirely sure. Maybe it was Trainees. For a second she was daunted by all she had to learn- rules, ranks, traditions- but she was determined to go through with this.

Her name was a bit of a mouthful but he didn't exactly mind, some of the cats he spoke to didn't even have names. As she expressed an interest in joining, the 8 moon old Freedom Fighter nodded, "Well, you'll have to prove to me that you can hunt and fight." If she was like him, she'd only be apprentice trained, not exactly perfect. Frostpaw raised a non-existent eyebrow at her and sat down in the cold snow. White paws blending in perfectly with the environment.}

[justify]"Hey Frostpaw." The small apprentice greeted the tom with a light flick of her tail against his before sitting a few feet away, narrowing her bright aqua eyes a bit as the she-cat seemed interested. Would they really fight this.. whatever her name was? "Can I try testing her?" Icepaw questioned the Freedom Fighter with a gentle mew, determination to serve SunClan shining hungerly against the calico's expression.[/justify]

Victorypaw padded up to her brother, "Hello Frostpaw, haven't seen you around much," the cream tabby flicked her tail in greeting to the loner, "So you want to join?" She asked, curiosity lighting up in her gaze. She hadn't seen anyone around much these days, just running around Sunclan's school and practically doing nothing. It was a relief to come out into fresh air again.

First Icepaw appeared and he shrugged and took a step back, "Be my guest." But who came up behind her made him take a hasty step backwards. Gawking at his sister, he tried not to look too surprised and instead, he ran up to her and buried his face in her neck fur not really believing she was there. Frostpaw wished that they could have time to talk about everything but right now wasn't the time and he knew that. The Freedom Fighter coughed and awkwardly smiled at Victorypaw before looking back at the loner and then Icepaw waiting for her to take the lead.} [/fancypost]

Victorypaw smiled and flicked his ear tips with her tail, "Nice to meet you too Frostpaw. " she purred, "Sorry I haven't been around much, been keeping to myself in the school. Its nice to come out into fresh air again. " she huddled closer to him and riverted her attention back to the loner and Icepaw, seeing what the two she-cats would say to each other would be interesting, she hadn't talked to anyone lately.

Aesalon awkwardly shifted her paws, then realized what she was doing and smiled, a sudden flash of white teeth against the darkness of her pelt. Two of the cats obviously knew each other, while the third seemed to be a higher rank than the others. Freedom Fighter, unless her hearing had failed her. Odd; she could have sworn none of them were too much older than her. "Sure," she meowed pleasantly, no trace of her momentary discomfort in her voice. "I probably don't know nearly as much as any of you. I haven't had any formal training." Shifting her haunches, she fixed Icepaw with a meek, expectant gaze, hoping she seemed shy. She could fight, of course, but she didn't want the calico to know that.

A pretty, orange-tinted shape slipped through the cottony snow, standing out stunningly against the blank canvas of pure white. A small smirk formed on her muzzle as she padded towards the trio. "Oh? Who do we have here?" Astral nodded at Icepaw, and giving a smile to her siblings.[/fancypost]

^{A shrug in Astral's direction, "No idea, a loner, but Icepaw is going to do the test on her, and seeing as I'm a high position I think I can accept her if she passes." This would be his first proper acceptance into SunClan and he damn well didn't want to screw it up. The Freedom Fighter watched the she-cat with questioning eyes before looking at Icepaw waiting for her to start.}

[justify]"Okay. Do you mind making the first move?" She asked plainly towards the possible recruit as she slowly positioned her body into a crouch. Icepaw fixed her gaze on the she-cat she would be testing and flicked a calico patterned tail in the air, almost as if a signal for her opponent to leap forward. [/justify]

Aesalon hesitated for a moment, then nodded. This could mess up what she had been meaning to do, but not if she played it right. Hunching her shoulders, drawing in her head and trying to appear meek, she paused. The she-cat flowed into something similar to a correct stance a moment before pouncing at Icepaw. Her hind legs, strengthened from moons of roughing it, carried her the entire distance between them. Paws, splayed eagerly before her, stretched as far as she could reach. If her opponent didn't move, Aesalon would ram into her shoulders, bowling her over. With all her sudden confidence, however, there was a spark of fear in her green eyes, not yet drained completely of their kitten blue. She had never fought off a trained opponent, and it was clear she had no idea exactly how much training Icepaw had received.

[justify]Instead of cowering or moving out of the way Icepaw stood there in a crouch, allowing the she-cat to fall downwards towards her before leaping up with the adrenaline and force from the ground. Claws outstretched, the apprentice attemped to slam them into the leaping kit's chest and pin her down to the ground, hopefully knocking the wind out of her with the attack. "I'm sorry.." She whispered quickly during the rush. It felt horrible to be challenging a young opponent, yet if she wanted to impress others then it was needed to get noticied for her skill and training paid off.[/justify]

Triumph had a moment to leak into the glossy she-cat's mind, triumph because her opponent wasn't moving, before Icepaw leaped straight up.
Oof!
Aesalon was knocked from the air, and the wind was knocked out of her lungs. She lay there, eyes almost bugging from her skull, fighting desperately to breathe. She didn't know if the other cat was on top of her or not, nor did she care; she was certainly going to die, she was sure, if she didn't get air soon. She barely registered the cat's apology, and couldn't have said anything in reply if she wanted to.

[fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 500][justify]Nodding, Astral settled into a more comfortable position, her slender tail tucked neatly around her paws. Normally, with someone talking about them being high-ranked, she would've felt a spark of jealousy niggle its way into her mind, and given voice to those thoughts. But this was different, t'was Frosty who was talking about his position, not some stranger who claimed to be her friend. "That's true, Frosty. An' I'm glad for ya! It's exciting, looking to accept someone, I bet. Our clan's pretty darn amazin'!" Inside she was mentally cheering for Icy, though not because she didn't want for the younger cat to be accepted, but simply because the she-cat was her friend.[/fancypost]
