Story:
:: My parents died before I could remember. I was sent to be with another mother. Most of the mothers nursed their little ones near the base of the mountain on high cliffs difficult to get to to keep them safe and hidden. That's where I spent my life as an early cub. All I remember was playing with my litter mates, whom I was very close to. We always were playing though but it wasn't much fun because they were no good. I could always knocked them away easily.
:: As soon as I was old enough to wonder outside the den I was taken away and put right into the training program. This was extremely uncommon for any young cub. I suppose I showed true promise, but I didn't want to be separated from my step mother. She was so kind to me and I wanted to spend as much time with her as I had. Normally for young cubs they would go into basic survival training which involved learning to hunt and what to do if you were found alone in danger. I didn't feel special about getting the privilege to skip a level. I wanted to play with my friends.
:: My mentor was extremely strict. If i didn't master a skill right the first time I was punished. My punishment involved running up and down the side of the mountain until my paw pads bled and I collapsed from exhaustion. Over and over I would have to do this. Every morning I would get up just as the first rays of dawn peaked over the mountains across the valley from where I had fallen on the rocks the day before and repeat my running until moon high.
:: Amazingly enough in a few months of my training running up and down the mountain my paw pads toughened and I could run for hours without a stumble. It was time to put those skills to the test. My mentor watched me with his ferocious gleaming eyes on a cliff edge that looked similar to that of my nursing den. "Begin!!!" he yowled harshly
:: I started at the very top of the mountain. Everything looked so beautiful from up here. I heard my mentor's voice echo up the mountain and ring in my ears. I took in the moment then bolted down the mountain with great speed. I had never sprinted so fast in my life. It felt like I was flying! It was like I was one of the stars falling on the Day of Creation.
:: My feet were flying but I had run up this mountain a bunch of times before that I felt like I could do it with my eyes closed, so I did. I didn't have to see where I was going my feet just knew what to do. Screeee! My eyes flew open, but not at my feet. I looked up and saw a falcon soaring over me crying in celebration. I felt energetic and when I ran past my Mentor I gave him a slight smile. I didn't look back to see what his reaction was, but I heard a whoop of joy behind me and I knew it was him.
:: The bottom of the mountain was within a bound and I finished it was a great leap and the falcon fluttered down to land by my side. A Sight bird. It was the best day I'd had in a very long time. From the mountain side nearby my mentor lept down and congratulated me. I was ready to graduate. This truly was the best day ever.
