Eaglepaw padded into the Fossil Valley, sitting down while he waited for Nightsplash to arrive.

"So, just before we start, show me what you know about fighting, attack me" Nightsplash stood ready for when Eaglepaw tried to attack him.

Eaglepaw nodded, getting to his paws. He dropped down into his fighting stance, padding in a circle around Nightsplash. When he was on his mentor's left, he lunged, diving forwards. At the last moment though, he twisted and slid underneath Nightsplash, kicking upwards with hind paws.

Nightsplash flew back a ways and landed on his paws, leaping at Eaglepaw and, since the tom was still on the ground, put one paw on him. "You got to get up faster, before your opponant has time to come at you" Eaglepaw had done a pretty good job though.

Eaglepaw hissed, his amber eyes unfocused. He unsheathed his claws and dug them into Nightsplash's side, closing his eyes tightly. He rolled away from Nightsplash and lay there, panting, his eyes re-focusing as he looked at his claws, red with blood from digging them into Nightsplash.

Nightsplash reared backwards off Eaglepaw, a trickle of blood going down on each side of him. He looked at Eaglepaw wide-eyed.

Eaglepaw looked up at Nightsplash, his eyes wide with fear. "Nightsplash, I'm so sorry, Its just..." He trailed off, unsure of how to explain what he had seen. Then sheathing his claws, he meowed, "Who do I look like to you?"

Nightsplash hadn't prepared for this question "Well..." He started "Eagletalon, a warrior before you, he was killed in a border fight by two AshClan warriors, Minnowstep and Stonestream" Had no one ever told this to Eaglepaw?

At hearing Stonestream's name, Eaglepaw's ears went forwards. "Stonestream. I had a vision of some sort, and I was in a battle. All I felt were claws and fangs ripping into me, and I heard nothing but Stonestream being repeated in my ears...what do you think that means?"

"Your like another Eagletalon. You must've seen, through Eagletalon's eyes, what Stonestream had done, but its over now, Warheart tried to get revenge for Eagletalon by attempting to kill Stonestream but only managed to blind him" Nightsplash shook his head, even for revenge a deputy should not have crossed clan borders.

"Was Eagletalon really good friends with Warheart? And what about Phantom, were they friends?" Eaglepaw asked, his amber eyes clouded over with confusion. Then, he looked up at Nightsplash, meowing, "Nightsplash, I'm Eagletalon aren't I?"

"To answer your first question, yes, Warheart, Phantom and Eagletalon were all good friends. And...well, you are basically another Eagletalon, if you can have visions of some things that happened when he was alive then..." Nightsplash shook his head. He felt sorry that no one ever told him this before.

"Its so confusing. I hear people speak of Eagletalon sometimes, but when they say his name, it feels like they are talking about me, and so I turn towards them." Eaglepaw shook his head. "But they can't be talking to me."

Nightsplash closed his eyes for a minute then opened them. "Hey, what do you say we try some fighting moves?" He was trying to get Eaglepaw's mind off of being like Eagletalon.

"I can't. Thats why I clawed you." He replied half-heartedly. "It was like I was erally being attacked, it hurt."
