Sheeppaw felt the sun blazing down on his back, warming it and relaxing him. The water from the river flowed past. “Hey, Sheeppaw,” the apprentice laid next to him said. “I wonder what swimming across the river will feel like.”
“We’re not allowed to do it yet,” Sheeppaw whispers, looking around like there might be someone who could hear, despite the duo being away in solitude.
“Dare yah,” the apprentice says, rolling onto his back with a laugh, “Or are you too chicken?”
Sheeppaw pulled himself off the ground and approached the water, cautiously stepping a foot in. When he was stood in the shallows, he turned to face his companion. “See you on the other side!” he yelled, before giggling and starting to swim across the river.
The other side was in sight before everything went dark. Sheeppaw was pushed under the water, spinning round and unable to tell the top from the bottom. As he struggled, everything grew dark then a tug at his nape, lifted him above the water, dragging him back to the shore.
As the apprentice, lay on the ground, he began coughing up water, finding his breathe again. “Oh, thank starclan,” his companion said.
“No, thank Wolfdust,” a new voice says in an angered tone.
Sheeppaw coughed up more water before looking up, facing his scornful mentor, Wolfdust. “Are you happy with yourself, Fish? You nearly killed yourself just to swim. You’re nowhere near ready to be a warrior.”
