The great tree was covered in the snow of Leaf-fall, and it's usual glory wouldn't be awakened until the new season. The land was blanketed by white, currently untouched except for a crouching cat. Hidden almost in the barks by his tawny pelt, Leafscar awaited Jaypaw's arrival to begin a training session. However, the deputy also found it annoying.

He hated the snow.

Ears pricked, and green eyes turned to see a white rabbit lazily crossing. Quickly slunk down, and Leafscar pounced on top and killed the creature with a simplicity he had always known. One Jaypaw would learn.

Jaypaw had just waken up by a call."Come to the woods" it had said. He perked up and remembered today would be his first training session. He got out of moss and stretched. He quickly ran out to see it was snowing.

After a few minutes he spotted his mentor in the snow,and quickly moved to him."So,What are we going to learn today?"

[Deleted]

Leafscar purred at his apprentice's enthusiasm. "Sometime today, we're going around to meet all of the other Clan's scents. You'd have to know the territory to defend it." He began to pad over the cold ground, trying to ignore the numb in his paws.

He flicked his tail, signifying for the apprentice to follow. "Another thing to cover will be rouges, and enemy scents." Laying out the scedule got things straight--today would be more of a listening and understanding that actually participating. The deputy stopped for a moment to see if Jaypaw had any comment to make.

[jaythecat]

Jaypaw nodded in respect. It was true,he did need to learn about the other scents. He slowly followed his mentor until he stopped to speak again. He listened to him explain that he needed to learn of Enemey scents and rogues. For now,he could not tell the difference from a kittypet to a rouge,not that kittypets roamed here anyways. Jaypaw simply looked at his mentor and said "I'm Ready!"

Leading him over to the border was no problem, and even near NightClan the usual marsh had become solid. This was, perhaps, one of the few good things leaf-bare brought. The tom lifted his nose into the air and parted his jaws.

"Do you smell here? It's NightClan, but I'm sure you've heard enough about them from the elders." The deputy gave his apprentice a reassuring look. "Ah, hello there!"

The apprentice was out alone, finding herself to be brooding more often than usual. It would be very soon that her full name was given but Lunarpaw was starting to doubt herself again from Aurora's words.

There were many things that could go-- She shot up, surprised to see a patrol of TreeClan warriors. "Hello," the medicine cat apprentice meowed back shortly.

[jaythecat]

Jaypaw was about to attack the cat that was from a different clan but then realized to things. The first was that it was on the other side,not on Treeclans terriory. The next thing was that his mentor said Hello to it."Hi.." Jaypaw said cautiouslely, this was the first time he saw a Nightclan member.

Jaypaw could not wait to tell Dovepaw."Are you an apprentice to?"

[Deleted]

"I'm a Medicine Cat. Lunarpaw's the name," the she-cat eyed Jaypaw, never missing the fact that he was definately smaller than Blackpaw. He was probably just out of the nursery too, from the scent of milk.

She glanced at them, and her ear's pricked. "Um... I'd better go!" Darkpaw. That would mean trouble.
