"But, if you hide, another Empty could come along, I think you'd have to switch from attacking that empty to attacking another, then, when a couple other cats have the one you were formally fighting in a heap of comnfusion, you leap in and attack" He crouched into an attack pose and circled Icystrike, his large paws making no noise on the soft ground.

"Very good, but it is best for a warriors and apprentices too fight with another warrior or appretice from the clan. So one cat destract the emptie while the other sneaks up from behind and attacks or they can do tag team like when one cat gets thrown to the ground the other can attack the emptie or the last way is that they both attack at the same time."Icystrike took a deep breath ad watched for sablepaw to try and attack her. She sat down and began to speak. "You never want to be too fast and you do not want to be slow. Why should you not be fast and why should you not be too slow sablepaw?" Icystrike knew the answer she was just not sure that sablepaw knew the aswer.

"What? I think its either fast or slow...or a somehow combination of both" Sablepaw had just confused himself

"I'am asking not what speed you should be going.I'am asking why should you not go too fast and why should you not go to slow?They are simple qestions, you should't have to think too long.Do you not know the answers to my qestions?"Icystrike looked at her appretice then thought of aother lesson that she needed to teach him and this was a opening. She watched and then striked forward pinning him down but not to hard too hurt him. She watched for a counter attack."Another lesson is the cat your're fighting might try to confuse you, to find a opening. Do not let them confuse you. This does't mean i don't want those qestions answer, got it?"Icystrike laughed and then got off of sablepaw. Still watching for a counter attack move that sablepaw might try.

Sablepaw leaped in the air, heading straight for Icystrike. He twisted in midair and slid under Icystrike on his back, kicking up powerfully.

Icystrike noticed his first counter attack.Icystrike leaped up ad did a back filp so she was inhead and then sit down. She leaned over sablepaw, but did not get close eongh that sablepaw could reach her. She backed up and next she paced around sablepaw at a normal walk. she stoped ad waited for sablepaw to get up. " That was a good couter attack but needed a bit more thinking. You need to be just a bit faster but not too fast. Even if you are only a little bit slow, it still makes a big differnece. See You were a bit slow so i took avantige of that and leaped up moving from above you. If you are too slow they can doge it.If you do it too fast you loose cotrol and you ca strai your self."

"Yes, but you have to learn it and remember it so that you can be a smart warrior ad a strong one too.Now that will be enough fighting lessons today. I will teach you how to hunt and we will catch one animal before we go back."Icystrike smiled, then started to teach sablepaw to hunt. When she finished telling sablepaw the basices of huntig, the tips and all the tricks she knew about hunting, she Smiled at sablepaw telling him."Go and hunt, bring back a good catch, but don't pass the borders or that will get us in trouble."Icystrike was going to follow him from the tree to see what he was doing and then quickly catch something and meet up with him.Only when he was far enough away that he couldn't see her climb a tree.

Sablepaw dashed off in a heartbeat, making sure his paws made absolutely no sound in the soft white snow. His fur was quite visible against the snow but he had his own method. The snow was just deep enough for him to bury himself. Sablepaw noticed a mouse a quietly dug a hole, start to dig a tunnel until he knew he was under the mouse. He shot a paw up and latched onto the small furry creature with his claws, pulling it down and killing it.

Icystrike picked up her catch and ran after sablepaw.Once she caught up with him she meowed."You did good, we will be able to hunt tomorrow for a while and then you can go hunt ."She needed a chance to see nightsplash again. This time she wouldn't watch sablepaw hunt from the trees.
