Shiningclan: "A New Trial"

Snakepaw streched walking to camp he hoped Emberstar was fair with punishing him and Heatherpaw. he saw Dianwhisper and Heatherpaw in the distance he thought it was better to seem like he worked harder than he did he rubbed his fur in the bark of a tree and splashed his paw in mud. Good thing Dianwhisper cannot read minds. he thought entering camp.

Snakepaw had followed Dianwhisper and Heathepaw in secretHe is giving Heatherpaw special training no fair! he sat hidden behind a tree wondering why he didn't get special training. he grunted this is a catastrophic the deputy likes Heatherpaw more. Snakepaw always had a very short fuse so he had to sit behind the tree trying not to quake the ground out of anger,if he gave himself away Dianwhisper would move him to the nursery for sure.

Snakepaw hissed making a small quake on accident he hid hoping they didn't find his hiding spot.he felt guilty he was already thinking of ways to sabotage Heatherpaw but he didn't want to admit he was jealous he would rather just blame Heatherpaw or Dianwhisper rather than himself. he didn't quite want to get caught so he crept through the bushes to a better location.

Sparrowfeather nodded, "ok, I can do that." He responded, padding out of his own hiding place passed Snakepaw,narrowing his eyes, a thin veil appearing over the tree. Heatherpaw would have let out a squeak of surprise but the she cat was tired from the fight and nervous around the deputy, so she just studied her paws on the bark.

"I can't yet till Dianwhisper tells me what to do," She snapped back, fur bristling. The mouse-brain didn't know how hard it was to use her powers, they where more dangerous and draining than Snakepaws. She scowled at the tree, trying to keep her paws from bursting into flames.

"Not until the deputy says so!" Heatherpaw snapped, finally taking her paws off of the tree and whirling on Snakepaw, her fur bristling angrily, sparks coming off of her paws. She was sick of Snakepaw assuming she could just burn this tree, there was a lot of elements to this, if she tried to burn it up all at once she could seriously injure herself.

"You don't understand," Heatherpaw muttered, shaking her head and turning her back from the older tom, wanting to take the high road. He was simply a tom who could control the earth, something that couldn't hurt anyone too badly. All fire was used for was destruction.

((Sorry! LOL I been out of the house all day. ))

Dianwhisper had listened to the entire whimper, callout, and impatience of the apprentice. This was held into tollerance, but on the inside it was finally snapping at him to snap the apprentice in two. Literally- He shook his gazed down allowing the entire call outs to just happen it was irritating truly.

When his authority was called on that was the final straw. This apprentice needed the lesson of a lifetime. ......but instead he simply sat in place.

He next turned his head ever so slightly, "Heatherpaw please begin the process. Take as much time as you need. Don't worry we are here to assure you that nothing goes wrong, and that everyone in the clan whom is like family feels comfortable, and assured of themselves on a personal level." His tone had risen; louder and louder the further into his sentence. it was almost as though he was yelling as far as he could into the forest. Or at least loud enough for that crazy apprentice in the corner to hear.

Heather paws throat closed at the tone that Dianwhisper was using, even if it was towards Snakepaw and not herself. The cream colored she cat nodded vigorously, placing her paws back onto the driest part of the tree she could find, taking a deep breath as she sparked up the fire underneath her paws, having to wait awhile before the fire actually caught onto the wood. She grasped for the irritation that she felt toward Snakepaw, allowing herself to let go of her restrained, letting out a small cry as the fire burst out of her paws as she pulled herself onto the tree, trying to walk down it to keep the entire tree aflame. She trembled slightly but remained on the tree, not wanting to get near the water. Suddenly Heatherpaw slipped, fire shooting out to the point where the she cat herself was engulfed, frustrated that only some of the tree had actually caught fire.

"Dianwhisper," Sparrowfeather mewed in warning, seeing that Heatherpaw was beginning to lose control. The apprentice may be older but she still had the tendency to get herself hurt when it came to her own powers.

Dianwhisper watched the she cat carefully. He focused on her movement, tone, and pacing. The other apprentice was becoming a nuisance, but he zoned that background issue aside. He leaned slightly to the side to keep a careful gaze on the surrounding. The veil was still in place; good- He blinked shortly seeing the apprentice slip suddenly and spew out a few flames; she was beginning to panic. He made his way towards the tree then jumped on the other end where the apprentice had yet to cross. "Heatherpaw relax!" He called out keeping his gaze directly at the she cat. "You are almost there okay? Come further; just come further and everything will be fine." He instructed. "I'm here, Sparrowfeather is here; starclan watches all. We are fine; nothing will happen. It's fine!" He assured her. "Just come-come this way and focus directly on reaching the otherside. That flame there; it shouldn't hurt you. That flame, and you should be one and the same. Eventually bursting yourself-you will feel nothing. But that wont happen if you let your thoughts wonder. If you allow the outside of your thoughts to pierce through you. Right now it's only you; that tree and getting here where I am. Now for starclan's sake; be the key to this objective!" He called out; his voice held emotion, he wanted her to get across. In his own thoughts he was working his best to remain calm, and keep himself from loosing his temper. He was perhaps questioning himself; mainly his talking. He was talking too much; something that would keep him quiet till the next moon perhaps.

Snakepaw had his eyes locked on the fire the crackling flames were very mesmerizing he could barely keep his eyes off the flames. apart from the unpleasant smell the fire was accuracy quite nice the sound of the fire way pretty relaxing it kinda made him want to sleep not as sleep inducing as rain or crickets but a close third.he could see Heatherpaws control was slipping she looked distressed.

Dianwhisper nodded firmly, "That's it; just a little more. Don't worry about it. Just come on a little further. When you reach the end; take a deep breath, and relax to cool yourself down." He stated backing away some. "Don't worry about anyone else at the moment, just yourself." He nodded realizing he reached the tip of the tree. "-Just relax." He repeated jumping off the tree then awaiting on the side. She was almost there; he was certain that she could do it. Whether it be a small dim flame; it was progress, and progress was always better then nothing.

Dianwhisper kept an eye on the tree. He closed his eyes briefly then inhaled calmly or at least to what appeared to be calmly. "Sparrowfeather; I thank you dearly for your assistance. Please do continue whatever else you may have had in mind. Or-go out and give our little Snakepaw an intensive one on one lesson for the day. Snatch any warrior to your convenience back at camp. I'll relieve them of their duties to assist you. Anyone.... will do just fine." He nodded now at the thought. "Then let Heatherpaw know whom you choose to help yu with the intense training regiment."

He next turned his attention towards Heatherpaw; "After you have been given the name of anybody whom she choose, please do return to camp to inform that individual of their assistance to Sparrowfeather. Once you have; please do go get looked at by the medicine cats, either that or go get some rest." He instructed.

With that in mind he gazed elsewhere; "Good job-" He stated to no one in particular then took that as a queue to pad off. He was heading towards camp; Emberstar would probably want to know about this.

Sparrow feather gave Dianwhisper a brusque nod, looking rather thoughtful before deciding on who he wanted to train with. " How about Oakwhisker? He could be useful for some training," He suggested, looking at Heatherpaw with interest. He was honestly surprised that the apprentice had made it through without burning herself.

Heatherpaw mumble that sounded like she knew what Dianwhisper was saying, she honestly hadn't been listening. She got up and began to trudge back to camp, glad that the camp wasn't too far away and that the training was over, for now at least.
