Flamepaw had been woken up by a call from his new mentor. "Come to the Great Maple." it said. He got out of the Apprentices' Den and stretched. He would finally have a new mentor and he had been told it was a Senior Warrior, someone with real experience. He was excited but a bit nervous.

The land was covered with snow, since it was Leaf-Bare. Flamepaw didn't like snow, nor the cold that came with Leaf-Bare.

He arrived at the Great Maple and waited for Tangleweed to arrive.

The big brown and white warrior trampled through the snow covered territory, two scrawny mice still clamped tightly in his jaws. His head was whirling with the things that he had just witnessed, why was his sister talking so closely with that loner, and why wouldn’t she confide in him what was worrying her? All of these thoughts had been buzzing around his head on the trek back through the snow that he had forgotten what he had said to his new apprentice earlier in the morning.

Rushing in through the camp entrance his emerald green gaze drew straight to the apprentice sat at the Great Maple as he had instructed him to do. Padding across to the fresh kill pile he dropped his mice, took a deep breath before turning back to the young Flamepaw. A wide eyed welcoming smile appeared on his face, this was the first apprentice that he had had in a while and he wanted to teach him all of the skills that he knew as a Senior Warrior. He also hoped that having an apprentice to train up would take his mind off the worry that Dawnpelt was bringing him.

’Hello there Flamepaw,’ he mewed warmly. ’Are you looking forward to out first training session?’ He asked, he thought that it was best to know how the apprentice was feeling before you decided what you are going to do with them, if they are nervous they wouldn’t work at such a high standard. And after all this was his first session.

Flamepaw watched the brown and white warrior called Tangleweed approach him. "Hello. I'm a bit nervous, because it is the first session with you since my previous mentor died. But i won't let my nervousness interfear with this session." he answered.

He was nervous, but it was nothing that couldn't disappear in some minutes. And Flamepaw hoped this would be the first of many sessions. He hoped Tangleweed wouldn't die, like his first mentor.

Tangleweed nodded understandably, he knew that this apprentice had had a bit of training before now, but he was not entirely sure on his ability. Maybe an assessment would be a good start? he thought to himself, he knew that throwing him in at the deep end would be a good test of character, and if he did well it would make his confidence grow even further.

’Ok then young Flamepaw,’ he mewed in a wise voice than only the senior cats can do well, ’Maybe today I will just test you on what you already know, just so I know where to start you from.’ He added, the last thing he wanted to do was waste time teaching him the things that he already knew, where was the logic in that. ’Come on, after you!’ He mewed standing up and flicking with his tail to the entrance of the den for him to lead the way.

The brown and white warrior was also determined to give himself something to concentrate on other than his sister, but he may have to check on her at some point during this training session, he was worried about what she would be getting up to on her own, especially after her apparent close bond to that loner.
