"So, today we will be learning the basics of fighting, but before that, you will have a sparring match with Thunderpaw to see where both of you lie in your skills," Shallowpelt commanded in a lengthy sentence.
Hearing that, both me and Thunder shifted into a fighting position ,"I'm fine with that." I replied, giving him a determined glare.
Shallowpelt smirked,"Well then in that case... Begin!"
As soon as those words left her mouth, we sprung into action.
I launched at Thunder, starting with the paw swipe. But as I used the move, he blocked it and I smirked, it was actually a fakeout move, which made towards my advance. Tripping him by pulling his leg, I then scratched his belly. (All of this is claws unsheathed, of course.)
Then, I pinned him to the ground as he hesitated to get up, bringing my paw to his neck. Thinking it was the victory, I gleamed, but Thunder went limp, which caught me of guard. With his hind paws, he kicked me off of him and he recovered. Before I could do the same, he lunged at me, and pinned my to a nearby tree, putting his paw to my neck.
"I surrender," I said, waving an imaginary white flag to prove my statement.
Thats when both Thunder and I looked towards our mentors in a manner which said, 'Waddo ya think?'
I must say, they looked rather impressed, then Shallowpelt gathered the voice to ask,"How did you learn that?"
I looked towards Thunder and said,"I had a good mentor before you." He beamed as a response.
"Well it seems that you already know the basics..." Thunder's mentor trailed off. I forgot his mentors name, what was it?
Fallingstar? No he isn't a leader. Fallingscar? Still something missing...
"Aha! Falconscar!"
Thunder deadpanned, "Were you even listening?"
"Uhhh..."
