(@luminiscent., I'm fine with that :3)

Shadowpaw - WillowClan - tags: Opalinejester

Shadowpaw backed away, her amber eyes huge and terrified. She could only watch, her body paralyzed with horror and paws rooted to the ground as Opalinejester leaped at the dog, tearing at its face with her claws. Only when the dog smashed her mentor down and shook her in her jaws did Shadowpaw break out of her trance, shrieking at the top of her lungs, "Opalinejester! NO!"

All sense of rationality fled Shadowpaw as the small-framed apprentice hurled herself at the wild dog's jaws, raking her thorn-sharp claws over the canine's nose, trying to get it to release her mentor. The dog simply snarled and threw Shadowpaw with a huge, heavy paw, and the apprentice skidded back a few feet, landing on her muzzle.

She couldn't think... breathe... all that she knew was pain. She struggled to her paws once the world righted itself, one of her eyes swollen shut and her right front claws torn. Breathing hurt; she might have bruised her ribs, or worse. She could only stumble away as the dog busied itself with Opalinejester, and only then did she register her mentor's words: "Shadowpaw! Get a patrol!"

"I'll fetch help, Opalinejester, I promise!" she wailed, though she was unsure if her mentor had heard her. She turned away and staggered off into the forest vaguely towards the direction of the camp, her breath catching in her throat with sobs.

❝ＬＡＲＫＰＡＷ❞

He relaxed his mind as he moved his paw, the boulder holding strong. He hissed and swallowed a sharp yowl, the rock had moved awkwardly. The tom looked up to his mentor scaling the wall, he was doing fine on his way down until another part loosened, surging its way down to Larkpaw. He held his breath and closed his eyes, careful no more mud found its way in. His mentor stopped above him. Larkpaw howled in pain as the boulder slid off, but worse was to come. Mud was let loose and Larkpaw couldn't find a footing before he was swept further down,mud splashing into his eyes and ears. His shot his head above the surging wave, took a breath plagued by mud and ducked under once more was a wave went over his head. He could feel himself slowing, the mud had reached the end of its energy, he hoped.

❝ＯＡＫＦＡＬＬ❞

Oakfall shook his head with amusement, his apprentice had stopped fighting but persisted they try some battle moves. She ran ahead and leapt, catching the tip of the red leaves. He nodded his head to Fawnstep who jumped off, towards what ever herbs she needed. Oakfall watched as his apprentice fell into place beside him. ❝We'll try, but despite your love for fighting, we need to see the territory and practise some hunting. Best feed a clan right?❞ he commented, moving on. Fawnstep swerved through the forest and he followed, her nose smelling for any herbs or what ever she did. It didn't really concern him, so he left it at that. Fawnstep asked the apprentices to break off, and Oakfall didn't protest, simply followed behind the grey and white cat.

❝ＦＡＷＮＳＴＥＰ❞
[ willowclan ][ medicine ][ apprentice; palepaw][ tags; palepaw ]

She watched as her apprentice finally emerged, Oakfall and Dovepaw trailing after. She nodded and head and continued on, following a trail she remembered so well. Her mentor always taught her where the herbs she needed were found, and what season they grew best in. She looked up and behind to her apprentice. ❝Take dovepaw and sniff out the marigold please palepaw, meet me wherever I an when your done❞ she said, a small smile finding its way onto her mouth. She continued on, trusting Oakfall followed her. The Poppy's where not farm a few fox lengths. The round seeds came into view and she snapped off a branch.

Spiderpaw's shape was drawing nearer and so, Embertail rose from where she sat. "This is your final warrior assesment. Like Ripplestar said, you will tested on your hunting skills," She paused to catch her breath, then continued. "I'll let you hunt whatever you can find but, please, keep it interesting," Without going into detail, the mottled she-cat turned to climb up the birch tree, sinking her long claws into the papery bark. "Good luck," She added, now perched high up in the upper branches, waiting for her apprentice to get going. Spiderpaw was a promising cat, Embertail didn't doubt that she would pass. But of course, her hopes couldn't affect how she marked her.

"Oh, uh, I'm sure they'll do great," Turtlepaw mewed, twisting around to smile at Sunpaw, who was clearly excited and happy for them. He got up and stretched down to lick the mud from his belly area. It was wet and earthy tasting, causing the tortoiseshell apprentice to wrinkle his nose in disgust, flicking his tongue in and out in an attempt to wash the nasty taste from his mouth. Shaking his head, he looked back up to Sunpaw and Featherpaw. "Sunpaw, why did you decide to become a medicine cat?" This was a question that he'd pondered about for quite some time, sometimes even wishing she could be out with him, hunting and training together.

caribouskull resurfaced, paddling closer to larkpaw as the two sped down with the thick current. after about an hour, they slowed, well out of any clan territory. there were ravine walls on either side, and the fading light made it difficult for caribouskull to see the end of the sludge. he nudged Larkpaw. "are you alright?" the now slick dark tom asked, visibly shaken. he gave larkpaw a comforting nudge and began fighting his way out of the mud, grimacing as his sore and moisture ruined pads touched the ground.
at long last, he reached the end of the mud, and pulled himself onto one side of the gorge, trapping many pine needles and dirt in his sticky pelt. they would need to clean off, but they would need water. StarClan only knows what the rockslide picked up...

opalinejester pawed the dogs face as shadowpaw ran off, eyes half closed with already dawning fatigue. one of her forepaw and her torso were trapped in the dogs drooling maw, slowly being crushed. she bit down on it muzzle, feeling the sound of its pained howl echo through her bones. it dropped her and opalinejester rolled away, coming up again, one leg bent awkwardly before she righted herself and yowled for help. hopefully shadowpaw was working on that. all she had to do was keep the dog here. the dog, a Rottweiler, spun around, shaking blood off its face. it halted and whipped its head around, fixing the pale warrior with a deadly glare. a sudden blur of orange and black was all the warrior saw before a powerful paw slashed her face, sending opalinejester flying backwards. blood trickled from her ear across her face down to her chin. Luckily, both eyes were intact. she hauled herself up, spitting blood and shaking.

→ WOLFHEART, seeing there was nothing for him to do at camp, heads out to hunt. Might as well be useful. The humidity makes his thick pelt heavy with moisture and he shakes it frequently, though it does no good. A sound catches his attention. It's not a roaring sound, no. Wolfheart tilts his head slightly as he makes his way towards the noise. Not roaring, but... sliding? Perhaps dripping? The tomcat frowns as he continues on, speeding up to a run. As he jumps up to clear a short bush, he is suddenly aware of the brown death trap beneath his paws. Wolfheart has no time to react as he is swept away by the mudslide. He fights to keep his head up and several times narrowly avoids being caught beneath a tree limb or boulder. A wave of murky water splashes up into his face, stinging his eyes and working into his lungs. Wolfheart, blinded, flails around uselessly as he tumbles along with he landslide, taking several gashes to the face as he collides with a tree branch. After what seems like his certain death, the mud slides to a slower, creeping pace. The tabby tom shakes his head vigorously and clears enough sludge out of his eyes to stagger out, soaked to the bone and caked with brown goop. Wolfheart grimaces as he attempts to shake the blood out of his eyes, glancing around. He notices two others nearby and perks his ears, padding over to them.

(The mudslide was actually for the plot, and only for caribouskull and Larkpaw. I don't think wolf heart can do that...)

[ was it not for the prophecy? if not, I'll edit it. ]

[waldeinsamkeit.]

(Is wolf heart a prophecy cat? the mudslide was to get rid of caribouskull and Larkpaw, who are the missing cats. PM legolas to see if your cat could tag along. for now I would edit though)

[jormungandr]

( i still don't understand it, but i believe only Larkpaw and Caribouskull fall down ^^ )

[ yes, he's the "strong one." ]
