(A while back, don't actually remember when, Cinnamon and I asked which cats would be good DF candidates. And she had Iceflight visit Pricklepaw and Slatestorm. Cloudypaw I think we just kind of added on even if she wasn't there, but that was because she and Moonheart would be receiving training solo. What makes Thornclover DF material? He can probably get a visit later on if Cinnamon approves since Iceflight is pretty much running the show xD)
Heronscale knew better than to let up. He noticed the surprise on the she-cat's face and smirked a bit. Looks like she didn't realize what she was getting herself into. He pivoted on his back paw and whirled around, slashing out with a front paw. Although these claws were sheathed, he put a lot more power behind his blow.

She took the hit while still maintaining her trajectory, the wind being knocked out of her somewhat, but she used the movement as an opportunity to try and skew his balance with a quick swipe. She was hesitant about using unsheathing her claws, however, as in this place she was not the one who made the rules.

(Howdy and reading over Lightingpaw could be DF trainee. In fact I was figuring out a plot where Scarletpool trains her but is manipulating her in some way to get something idk what though)

Heronscale let her take a swipe at his paws, but braced himself easily. He caught her claws with his flesh and gave her a sly smirk. He dug his own into her leg and pulled her down towards him and swiped at her face, once more bringing out his claws.

Blood from the scratch above trickled into Slatestorm's eyes, and in a panic she slammed her paw down in the general direction of Heronscale's face, finally unsheathing her claws. She collapsed to the ground, quickly scrambling back to her paws and away from him.
"Crap, crap, crap, crap," she harshly muttered under her breath over and over as she tried to blink the blood out of her eyes. This could've gone a million times better. She focused entirely on keeping herself as far away from the blurry shape of Heronscale as possible. Her fighting style may be reckless, but she wasn't about to go throw herself at a cat who'd already proven himself to be far stronger and more skilled than herself while half-blinded.
"I suppose subtlety just isn't the style around here." Blossomtail quietly remarked to herself. The face was probably one of the most bizarre and visible places for a cat to mysteriously gain slash marks overnight, wasn't it?

Heronscale finally backed away, glancing towards Iceflight. Had he gone too far? The blood would be difficult to explain. But he'd gotten excited to fight and see blood. He resettled himself underneath where she perched and began lapping up at the blood from his leg. It would heal quickly. The perks of being dead he supposed. But, explaining your injuries to the clan was part of the training. Becoming a good liar if you wanted to become stronger. Cats had been doing it for moons before. Maybe she scratched herself. Or another cat did it. It wouldn't be terribly difficult. Although she'd probably be limping for a while.

Iceflight's face turned up in a scowl, seeing Slatestorm look so bedraggled. Had Badgerheart done we'll to recommend this young cat...?
"That's enough." She yowled commandingly. She was irritated at how far the dark warrior had gone, but she didn't expect much less. Moving forward, she stepped closer to examine Slatestorm wounds. Nothing too serious, and it would most likely leave only superficial scars on part of her face, which was good. It was somewhat of a reminder of what she had learned.
Iceflight took a seat in front of Slatestorm, her tail across her paws. "Lick your wounds, warrior. You have earned those battle scars. I know our training may seem harsh, but an enemy will not come at you with soft paws. Twilightclan has forgotten the true peril of battle, hunted only by foolish creatures like foxes. Here, you must learn to rely not just on instinct, but on a knowledge of your fellow cats. I think you have learned that today."

Slatestorm swallowed hard, turning to face where Iceflight's voice had come from. She was relieved at the command to stop the battle, finally sitting down and properly wiping the blood from her face. "I... I have." she replied. "If I have to keep training to be worthy, then I will." She didn't really think about what she'd be worthy of despite saying it, nor did anyone really say anything about worthiness. She supposed she just meant "worthy" in general. Dipping her head, she sat off to the side. She felt a pinprick of worry thinking about if Pricklepaw would undergo the same training that she herself had just done, but perhaps they would be light on the apprentice.
((anyway i'm going to bed, so i suppose either put this on hold until i come back on or have a different cat train with pricklepaw? whichever you guys end up seeing as better. g'night!))

(JFC IM SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT THEIR RESPONSES IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART. I'm legit sad now. Slatestorm getting the crap kicked out of her and feeling unworthy, and poor Pricklepaw just accepting this difficult task I just can't. These poor babies)
(BUT YEAH we can pause for now, that's fine with me)
Iceflight nodded, her cold gaze sweeping over Slatestorms face. She liked her determination "And you will be worthy. It is destiny." She meowed simply.
Turning to face Pricklepaw, a rare smile spread across her maw. Some might have mistaken it for something akin to a snarl, but Iceflight's voice was filled with satisfaction. "You are a true warrior at heart to view battle and not shy away, Pricklepaw. Your courage is reflected in this. The first steps for you will not be so greusome, as you do not have as much experience. But do not expect them to be easy- even the greatest warriors must fight hard to reach their goals."
She turned to Blossomtail, her gaze questioning the dark warrior. Could she trusts her to take care of the small warrior as fDarksand had done so well for Ivypaw?/i]

(When they make their comebacks it'll be lit. But I mean, you have to admit that the Dark Forest does do well in training the underdogs. Even if it's for evil purposes, it's a lot more attention and training than the cat will probably get in the waking world. So they are doing some form of good....
But just imagine, competition between Iceflight and Darksand. Every big plot they try they're just like "alright. What's the score now? Who's trainee will win this time?" Haha)

"Thank you," Slatestorm simply responded while trying to clean her wounds. Her body was trembling slightly, but she told herself that it was just due to the natural chill of the woods.
Blossomtail met Iceflight's gaze, but she couldn't read the expression reflected in her eyes. Quickly, she stepped forward as well.
"I'm going to fight you with claws unsheathed, but I don't intend to seriously wound you in any way." Blossomtail both warned and reassured Pricklepaw. "View it as a battle instead of a training session, so that you don't hold back."

(Oh but i just had a thought. Would the DF count as a training session? If so, i wouldnt mind knocking one out with Ivypaw too. Since he is supposed to be more advanced he would probably get a lot of his training there and with Badgerheart)

( I mean, they're getting training, why shouldn't it count as a training session?)
Iceflight looked down at Pricklepaw, giving her a nod. She looked over at Blossomtail, meowing firmly "This is a young apprentice and she has much to learn. Don't go easy on her, but don't give her any injuries that will make her unable to function as a proper apprentice in the waking world."
Slatestorm was different- she could easily lie about getting caught in brambles on a nighttime walk, or even scratched by a bird of prey. But an apprentice was watched far too closely, and also had more responsibilities around their clanmates, making secrecy more difficult. She had a good feeling Pricklepaw was not as good of a liar as Ivypaw, and would thus need to be eased physically.
"Begin when you are ready" she meowed, stepping back and to carefully watch.

Blossomtail quickly and agilely sprung towards Pricklepaw, claws outstretched. She shifted her weight to her front paws so that her attack would come down hard where it mattered, but braced herself for retaliation as the apprentice had visibly taken a defensive stance. Her aim was to attack but still land in a position that didn't leave her immediately prone to attacks from the back or side.

While Blossomtail made an attempt to dodge her head upwards, she still caught the brunt of the attack, claws slashing the bottom of her muzzle. Leaning her weight to the side, she tried to kick Pricklepaw away, sending the apprentice rolling slightly in the dirt. Staying in a position that left the apprentice free to slice away at Blossomtail's face felt like a poor decision, after all.

Blossomtail whipped around to face the apprentice, surprised but impressed by the intense look in Pricklepaw's eyes. She stared at Pricklepaw intensely, wordlessly daring her to make the next move.

Blossomtail took the collision, the breath being slightly knocked out of her and pain stinging where the claws were pricking her skin, but she only let the pain show in her eyes. Forcefully she slammed her side into the ground, not entirely sure if it would break Pricklepaw's grip, but it would certainly batter them both. Dirt and dust showered both of their pelts, settling quickly in the cool, stagnant air.
