Gorseclaw and Ashpaw quickly walked to the training area, which was a small clearing in the middle of the pines.
Once the two Shadowclan cats got to the training area Gorseclaw started to show Ashpaw her first battle move.
"We're starting off with playing dead, it is good to use if a larger enemy has over powered you by pinning you down onto the ground. All you do is go limp while your enemy is attacking you, let's try it out."
The gray apprentice nodded a bit nervously, just before her mentor attacked her. The younger cat yelped in surprise as Gorseclaw's teeth met her shoulder. Ashpaw tried to fight back as while the larger tom pinned her down. She struggled under his weight; forcing herself to stay calm as her mentor clawed at her pelt.
After several minutes of struggling she went limp, doing the battle move Gorseclaw showed her, the black-and-white tom stopped clawing and biting Ashpaw and stood before her.
"You need to be quicker; we'll try it again tomorrow. Go get so new moss for the elders, and then you can eat and rest." But before the smaller cat could even open her mouth ask why Gorseclaw had used his claws and teeth while training, her mentor stared to quickly pad away from the training area.
Ashpaw charged after the black-and-white tom, furious that he just walked away after a training session like that. Once she caught up to Gorseclaw and ran in front of him to stop him from going any farther.
"Why did we train with unsheathed claws? When Longpaw and Yellowpaw helped me with battle moves as a kit we did it with sheathed claws!" The gray tabby hissed to her mentor, her fur sticking up and her amber eyes blazing. But her mentor just looked at her and chuckled, "Well, you were just a kit, weren't you?"
"But Longpaw always told me that even warriors train with sheathed claws, even Silverheart told me that!" Ashpaw spat to the larger cat, him looking outraged as he hissed back a response, "Silverheart is not a true warrior! She has no idea what it even means to work hard, she's just a soft little kittypet that Froststar felt bad for and let her into ShadowClan!"
