Crystalpaw sat on the ground waiting for her Dad, or right now known as 'Her Mentor'. Her dad told her to come here for her training, he told her that it was for training in the warrior code. She yawned then she layed down half-asleep.

"Hey lazy-rear, get up!" Noblestar called as he approached the drowsy apprentice, "Up, up, up! Time to start training! Why aren't ya excited? Perk up!" He finally reached her, and tackled her with a laugh. "You didn't even notice I was planning to do that, Crystalpaw," he scolded, "You need to be more alert." But then he smirked slightly. "Thats for another time, unless you do well enough today memorizing the warrior code without protest," he added.

Crystalpaw jumped up, startled, she let out a yowl of surprise. She then tried to jump back on her dad saying "Kay.. i'll try to memorise it".

Noblestar wriggled out of the way with a smile. "Fine then, let's begin," he meowed, "Number one: Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle. Number two: One should never hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory. Number three: Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. Number four: Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to DreamClan for its life." He took a deep breath after the long speech. "Now repeat what I just said in your own words," he ordered.

Crystalpaw sighed and then said " Number One: Defend You're own Clan as if your life deepened on it. Number two: Never hunt in other Clan's territory or walk in it. Number three: Elders and kits must be fed first, not apprentices. Number four: Never hunt for sport, only hunt and eat what you hunt. Thank DreamClan for the lives of our prey." She then took a deep breath after all that she said.

"Nice work," Noblestar praised his adoptive daughter, "Now, for the next ones. There are 29 lines in the warrior code, so I'll start giving them to you in larger groups." He grinned, trying to cheer her up with the fact it would go by faster. "Number five: A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. Number six: Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. Number seven: The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires at the Leader Switch. Number eight: A gathering of all ten Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among the Clans at this time. Number nine: Boundaries must be checked and marked. Challenge all trespassing cats." He paused a brief moment, gazing at Crystalpaw. He took a long, deep breath, blinking. He had begun to get dizzy from lack of oxygen intake. "Number ten: No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan. Number eleven: The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code. Number twelve: An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense. Number thirteen: A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. Number fourteen: The Clan is to be fed before any individual cat," he recited correctly, unsurprised he could remember it all, after his vigorous training, "Number fifteen: The safety of the Clan is more important than that of any individual cat. Number sixteen: Each Clan has specific borders." He stopped, again taking a breath with evolved into a huge yawn, then a dry hacking cough. It ended arubtly. "Hmm, maybe I'm getting a little whitecough," he observed, "Well anyway, Crystalpaw, time to reword all those." He looked at her expectantly.

Crystalpaw smiled at his praise then took in a deep breath and then exhaled it. She repeated in different words "Number five: Kits must be atleast six moons old to be an apprentice. Number six: Warriors must protect the clan for one night after they get there name. Number seven: The Deputy takes over when then leader dies or retires or theres a leader switch. Number Eight: Every full moon there is a gathering, and a truce will be held for that night." She started to get a little dizzy so she took another deep breath and exhaled it. "Number Nine: You must check all of you're Clan's boundaries. All other Cats that is not in you're Clan must be challenged. Number Ten: Never neglect a kit in need, even if it's from another clan. Number Eleven: The Clan's leader's words are the warrior code. Number Twelve: No warrior must not kill, only if necessary. Number Thirteen: Warriors must not like the life of the Kittypet. Number Fourteen: The Clan must be fed before any other cat. Number Fifteen: The safety of the whole Clan before any other Cat. Number Sixteen: Each Clan has it's own boarders." She then again took a deep breath, and exhaled it. "Was that good Daddy?" she said in a sweet tone.

"Sure, except Number Twelve is no warrior must kill, not no warrior must not," he laughed, blinking down at her. He yawned. "Thats enough for today. Lets go into some battle training. How about I'll attack you, and you try to fight back - on instinct, with no directions," he meowed, gazing idly around. He lolled back, seemingly waiting for her to strike, then suddenly he lunged, surging towards her through the air.
OOC: Post in FIRE!!! at camp

Noblestar loosened his grip and let her go. He stepped back from her, sunbeams bouncing off his fur and lightening the splotches on his pelt to a shade of gray that was pale and almost as bright as the white of his main fur. His eyes shone green with approval. "That was okay," he meowed, "The strength you applied in the roll was pretty good for a first try, but that would barely faze a warrior, which is what you'll usually face. You need to be more alert, and try to be light on your feet. And stay on your toes! You need to be ready to really move when you see me coming. You need to be able to flit out of the way in a split-second. The way you can tell when someone is about to lunge or jump at you is a slight shift of their shoulder muscles a second before. Try to get out of the way again." He tensed, getting ready to leap. Then he loosened his muscles and blinked. "Oh yeah, and when you roll away if you get pinned, put all your strength into it," he added, then tensed for only a second before springing towards the apprentice.

OOC: So you're gonna be all short-post-y on me? Two can play at that game.
Noblestar smiled as she finally was able to break free.
