"up and at it, swallowpaw, it's time you learn about your homeland." the sun was just barely beginning to breach the horizon, dawn patrols would be heading out within the heart beat, and the day would grow anew. moon high's frost would not thaw for some time yet, but that did not stop the ebony deputy from stirring his new-found apprentice from her warm solace.
onyxfeather had become deputy midway through nightflower's apprenticeship and while at first he'd been exceptionally daunted by the added responsibilities, the tom juggled through them and adapted. it had felt strange in her absence, when she carried onto the life of a warrior and he no longer had the need for training on top of his duties. there was an absence in her place, just as there had been an absence in acornflight's place.
then swallowpaw came along. she was a marvellous creature, full of ambition and glory. rosestar knew exactly what she was doing when she assigned the determined young she-cat to onyxfeather's care. he had to admit, he didn't frequent the nursery often, so he didn't know a whole lot about what he was getting into. her bold spirit might prove to be a bit of a handful, something onyxfeather both dreaded and welcomed. then again, there was a fire within the she-cat, a willingness to learn. the day ahead would show onyxfeather exactly what he was in for.
the ebony tom loomed at the mouth of the apprentice den. he did not attempt to traverse the sleeping bodies to stir swallowpaw. the other sleeping bodies would pay no mind, and if they did, well, onyxfeather didn't dream they'd become cross with him. their mentors would likely be by soon, too. "i hope you're not too hungry this morning, i'd like us to have an early start." and with that, the deputy bowed out of the entrance and into the heart of camp. swallowpaw would either follow or she wouldn't, and so the first test had officially been laid out.
OOC: @jeopardy, sorry, it's super choppy! i'm rubbish at intros.
