Backwritten Territory You're gonna go far, kid! - Monsterpaw

[Mothbite Mothbite]

{$title} takes place soon after Monsterpaw is apprenticed

Still so young, Desperate for attention!

indentttIt's taken Mothbite a bit of time to get used to his new, oversized apprentice. After a bit of cursory hunting practice, though, and some ill-fated sparring, Monsterpaw is much more familiar to him. He wouldn't say he's close to the kid, really, but there's less awkward silence then there used to be between them. Mothbite figures it's time to take the next step.

indenttt"Monsterpaw, have you eaten yet? You should get ready - I've got something exiting for us today." From the start, they'd stayed pretty close to camp, never straying far from the pine hollow. With the streak of coyote attacks, Mothbite figure's they'd rather be safe then sorry. Now that Monsterpaw's proven he won't get eaten as soon as they leave earshot of the camp, though, he's willing to test the waters further. "It's time I give you the lay of the land, around here." Timberfrost hadn't been able to keep Fleakit or Stoatkit in camp all the time, but (as far as Mothbite is aware) he's had much more success keeping Monsterkit under wraps. If that's the case, it'll be Monsterpaw's first time seeing most of the territory.

indentttOf course, that's not all Mothbite has in mind. Between the mud, brush, and wetlands, moving through the marsh efficiently can be a challenge all of it's own. If Monsterpaw wants to keep up, he'll have to be a quick learner.

APPRENTICE

HE/HIM

07 MOONS

DINGO

Monsterpaw's paws still felt like they were too big compared to the rest of him and he hoped that some moon soon he would truly grow into them... It made him feel clumsier and stealth was still certainly not his strong point with how heavy his steps were most of the time. Wolfpack and Coalstrike were both bigger than most their clan though and managed just fine so hopefully with more training and time he too would grow to be like them and more sure-footed.

The large apprentice's ear flicked at hearing his name be called by a familiar mew-- His mentor wanted him to get ready as he had something exciting planned for today! Thankfully Monsterpaw had just finished up a small meal of skink not too many heartbeats ago, the taste of it still fresh on his tongue. He dipped his head to Mothbite to let his mentor know he'd eaten already and was ready for whatever awaited, his short tail giving away his mostly silent excitement at wanting to know what Mothbite had planned for today, by wiggling back and forth like an eager dog.

It was finally time to go out and explore more of what ShadowClan's territory had to offer. As a kit he had had the odd adventure or two under the cover of night with Fleapaw and Stoatpaw so some parts he had trekked before but it would be a lot different now that he was actually allowed to go out and explore it rather than having to sneak about, especially now since he felt he had only gotten worse at being stealthy and silent the bigger he got. Of course, the older cats of the clan weren't to know that he had already been outside the camp as a kit as it had been kept secret between the cats involved. Some of the excitement for it had already been swept up then when he first stepped paw outside of camp but not all of that wonder was gone, especially since even now he still had not seen all of it. There was one place in particular he had been wanting to go back and see again too after all these moons...

"Can we go by the monster tree?" He... Never really ever asked for much, not that he was a chatty apprentice at all to begin with, but directly asking to do something was a rare occasion for Monster. He seemed to realize it was maybe a bit of a brash thing to ask so suddenly of his mentor who had only just offered to take him out to see the territory. "-Sorry" He quickly added on afterwards, dipping his head again to the older cat, "I'm ready to go when you are Mothbite"

indentttMothbite snickers. Monsterpaw doesn't ask for much, so seeing him wide-eyed and begging to go to the monster tree is pretty cute. It's nice that he wants to go back to the place he first met Shadowclan. "Sure! We'll head there right away." He turns tail and begins walking out of camp. "Just keep up, alright?"

indentttHe keeps his pace slow, at first, walking side-by-side with Monsterpaw. They're making a beeline for the monster tree, just like he had promised. Borders can wait until after. When his apprentice has gotten his bearings, Mothbite speeds up a little. He's not running, by any means, but he takes a gentle jog. He ducks under branches and over stones with ease, instead of waiting for Monsterpaw to make his way through.

indenttt"Do you remember the way to the monster tree?" Mothbite'd like to speed up even more, but he doesn't want to completely abandon Monsterpaw. Especially if he doesn't know the path. Losing his first apprentice within a moon of being assigned would be pretty embarrassing.
