QUEST TRIAL ROUND ONE (SHOCKSTEP VS TALLWHISKERS)

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

HUNTING CHALLENGE
ROUND ONE - forest
SHOCKSTEP VS TALLWHISKERS
JUDGE: LEAFSLASH

The tom walked into the clearing his ears flicked. he was happy to hear that leafslash was doing the judging. he didn't want his leader to do it. if so if he had failed at this he didn't want to see her gloating maw stare into him. He frowned. His ears flicked to cats yowling in the background he sat in his spot in silence looking at the way he came. his ears flickering to pawsteps coming he saw young banepaw that sat at little far aways mewing to him. " they all started, there is a hunting group on the other side of the forest, so don't bump in them. though you guys are pretty far away " the young tom smiled at shockstep. the white dusty tom just nodded in silence to the younger one. in small thanks. he looked around. where was his two cats if everyone had started already. he smiled in his pelt had tallwhiskers forfeited thinking he was no match compared to him. this made shockstep sit a little higher. maybe shorestar should of been here to see this. He cracked a small smile at the easy win.


But this was shortly lived as paws stepd once again approached. the white dusty tom flicked his electric gaze to the direction of the noise. his smile gone into his serious pose awaiting whom come around the corner.

Tallwhiskers was more than excited, today he would be facing Shockstep in the trails, and what could be more exciting than that? Ever since Shorestar had agreed to this, it seemed the whole clan was more than excited to get things going, and today - the first set of challenges would begin. He grinned as he flew through the territory to get to where Shockstep and their judge - who he wasn't sure of as of yet - was waiting. Maybe it's Shorestar? He thought with excitement. Or maybe Fleetfoot? He thought. As he arrived in the area, he saw Shockstep's high and mighty attitude and he rolled his eyes. "Think I was going to forfeit just because I was a tad bit late Shockstep?" He asked, raising an eyebrow curiously to the dusty white tom, laughing as he went. 

He looked around the area and noted that Banepaw was here, and it seemed that Leafslash was going to be their judge as the others were already elsewhere. Settling down beside Shockstep, he awaited whoever was going to come out and supervise their contest. Tallwhiskers was ready - he knew he was.

Leafslash

He had been scouting out the forest before dawn arose that morning, due to Flightwind's disappearance he had set out to make sure beyond all doubt that the forest was safe for the two competitions being held within it on this day. But now he was late to judge his own trial, and despite the breath now rasping in his throat and the weakness in his chest, the ailing tom moved through the forest with confident speed. For a long time, Leafslash had kept his sickness hidden, and even now it was hard to spot on him.

The ginger-and-white warrior entered the clearing, set a little way away from the dead tree where Firebreeze and Minkfluff had been set off earlier. Noting young Banepaw and several others had come to watch this one, he dipped his head to them all before focusing his leaf-green gaze on the two competitors: Shockstep and Tallwhiskers. Neither warrior he was particularly fond off, perhaps the reason he was judging this one. He nodded his head to them in greeting, sitting down between them to disguise the fact that his legs were shaking.

"Sorry I'm late, but the forest is indeed safe this morning." Never one to banter words with most cats, Leafslash flicked his tail and got straight to the point. "You hunt in the forest today, and you must bring your fresh-kill back to me to count. You must not steal each other's prey. You have one hour, I will signal the end with a yowl. I hope you're both ready, you may start on my first yowl.." Flicking his gaze between them both the moody old warrior backed up a few steps and let rip a yowl that hid the fact his lungs were aching and sore.

SHOCKSTEP

As his serious face watched for whom had arrived the tom swished his white dusty tail. It was tallwhiskers after all whom had arrived. the tom blinked in silence. as his ears twitched upon hearing the toms words. he mewed lightly back to the tom " i honestly was starting to think that tallwhiskers. but im glad you showed up, i didn't want today to be boring" the tom flicked his ears as the other went walking off laughing shockstep Narrowed his orbs. thought the sound of paw steps caught his attention.

Shockstep casted a look to his half apprentice waiting with eager eyes. shockstep looked up and saw leaf slash had arrived. Leafslash got straight to the point explaining the rules. shockstep turned away looking to the forest ears flicked for the yowl. when the yowl sounded. the white dusty tom flicked up some Sort and raced off like lightning, bolting for the forest...



Once his paws set foot in the the deep undergrowth the toms ears flicked up her electric orbs flashed the forests seemed to be stilled with all the commotion that seemed to be going on. a coo lightly sounded. he grinned largely all to easy the tom thought. crouching the tom slinked over the undergrowth. on top of the rocks. Pausing hearing where the where abouts of the coo was sounding. again it sounded. the tom slithered above the smooth rocks under a fallen log. a scrap at the ground made him pause in his steps. his tail a snails lentgh above the ground keeping it from making a sound. as his orbs looked around.

His black pupils grew as his prey was spotted. A stupid sparrow was twitching around on the ground attacking a worm. the tom blinked as he moved forward slightly before lifting his front paws in the air wriggling his hind legs the bird heard his slight rustle turning it's head slightly this was it. he lept off the bird jumped around to him squawked in sight panic. before crunch! Shockstep dealed the killing bit and the sparrow went limp in his jaws. shockstep let his pupils dial down before turning heading the way he came to leafslash to place down his catch. he ran quick as he good coming to the clearing seeing leafslash. Shockstep came to a slow halt looking at the senior warrior placing down his kill. ' not even 15 minutes into the hunt and i already got something eh leafslash" at that shockstep snickered away pouncing off for the forest again as it swallowed up his white dusty body.
