"Don't worry, tomorrow we'll start battle training," Lionfur meowed, he looked up, the sun was low in the sky and the sky itself was no longer blue, but turning pink, "Hurry, I would like to get back by night-fall." The 2 cats took off running. Lionfur led Darknesspaw to tree-cut-place, then tall-pines. "There can be plenty of twolegs around here, particularly in the day, thought it is rich in prey like mice." next, they travelled to snake-rocks. They didn't venture too close, as it would be hard to see the adders, though Lionfur warned Darknesspaw of them, "Some cats question my methods of taking my apprentices round the territory near sun-down, because they will not be able to fully see parts of the territory. However, I find it useful, as then there are no interruptions and you can fully take in scents and sounds. After a small run, they had reached the Great Sycamore. "One day, I will teach you to climb the great Sycamore." Finally, they ran past camp to the Sandy Hollow and Owl Tree. At the Owl Tree, they stopped to hear the owl hoot and saw it spread it's great wings and fly in search of mice, "You may or may not heard the story of one of our great leaders, Owlstar. They say his hunting skills were as sharp and precise as an owls, he was silent. If you have not, get the elders to tell you. Now, perhaps it is time for a challenge. THe sun is almost down, so your sight is limited. Climb to the 3rd branch and you will be free of Elder duty for 2 days. You must use balance and instinct, watch." Lionfur leapt silently onto the first branch and proceeded to manoeuvre around and leapt onto branches until he quickly reached the 3rd. Endless nights of practising his tree climbing had rewarded him with immense skill.
