Rainstar poked her head through the roots dangling down from her den entrance. It was dark outside still and the sun seemed to not be close to rising. The clan was sound asleep. She slipped along the shadows towards the apprentice den. She crept into the small cave that was once an old badger's set built into a small hill. She crept around the sleeping apprentices until she reached her own. She unsheathed her claws and gave Mothpaw a sharp prod in the side. She noticed her apprentice awaken and stir and leaned into her ear. "Time to be assessed, meet me by the Great Willow." Rainstar whispered. She slinked out into the night and headed for the tree. She leapt to one of it's higher branches and waited.

(Mothpaw was awake already but thats ok xD)
Mothpaw felt excitement fizz through her and she raced out of the camp. I might become a warrior today! she thought, her muscles bunching together and she leaped across the forest. Recognizing the slim gray branches of the old great willow, she slidded to a stop and stared up at the tall tree, her torteshell (cant spell!) fur blowing like a wisp in the breeze that started up. How could something so old be so tall? she thought. Shaking her head, Mothpaw sighed, embarresment filling her stomach at her silly question. Nevermind. Looking around, she spotted Rainstars recognizable pale pelt by a bush, and she padded towards her and called out her name.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Orangebriar looked around, awestruck as he stared up at the walls surrounding them. "I dunno, but look up!" he breathed. The walls sparkled as a shaft of moonlight from above hit the crystal. Orangebriar didnt know what that crystal was, but its violet-pink light bounced on and off the stone walls, and threw everything around it in a dazzling light. "Oh geez.....hey look! Blackflight, Starpaw, and Twistedpaw are standing on the crystal!" he said, realizing that the tunnel the warriors above their heads were standing on was half covered by the crystal, as he saw the pressure of their pawprints as they stood above them. "If they fall through....we could catch them, and then we could win the game!"

(well...blargh!) Rainstar peer down as her apprentice hunted for her. She chuckled a bit as she mistook a bush for her. She let a silent yowl escape her lips to get her apprentice's attention. "Up here, you will need better night-vision than that if you are to pass this." She leapt down from her branch and landed next to Mothpaw. "For the first trail," she mewed. "You shall prove to me that you are worthy to join the hunts of the clan." She paced around her apprentice as she spoke and sat down in front of her. " I shall tell you when to stop....you're assessment begins....NOW!" she yowled the last word loud enough to scare off any nearby prey, part of her plan of course. Rainstar darted off into the nearby brush, leaving Mothpaw to herself.

Mothpaw flicked her tail to the side in aggravation, but non-the-less bounded away, her mouth open for any scents. Skidding to a stop in a patch of sand, she dropped down to the ground, making sure to keep her muscles tight and tail off of the ground as she slicked forward. Spotting the shiny black tail of a bird, she remained breathless. After a few heartbeats she pounced, landed neatly on its spine, killing it instantly

Rainstar did not stray far from Mothpaw, but she remained out of sight. She kept low in the brush, her scent being blown a different way. She observed the techniques. "Hm..crushing its spine...that's a new one." she whispered to herself as Mothpaw killed the bird. She sat for a moment longer before trailing her apprentice once again.

Nettlepaw walked out of the apprentice den, then stopped and stretched.'I wonder where Mothpaw went?' he thought to himself.

Burying her prey, Mothpaw sniffed around then walked on, stopping when she was near a stream of water. Her paws ached from walking, but she knew she was doing good. How much prey do i have to get? she thought, flicking one orange and brown ear. Shaking her head, she crouched down by the river, watching it with slow eyes. I`ll get this one easy. Bringing out one speckled paw, she quickly drew it down upon the water, sending out a splash as she flipped a fish out onto the pebbles beneath her. Quickly killing it with a bite to the head, she looked up, drenched with water as her fur dripped with the stuff, and began padding back to her blackbird to bury the fish with it.

Rainstar observed continuously. "Hmm...she shouldn't bury them so close, something's bound to catch the scent of that much prey." she thought. She sniffed the air and she could catch the scent of wet cat and a hint of fish. She had lost sight of Mothpaw, but all she had to do was follow the obvious trail of her muddy footprints.

Orangebriar chuckled shaking his head. "Oh no! I dont think they weigh that much, Tigerpaw." he said, smiling. "But were gonna make it break." he said, turning back to the crystal with glittering eyes. Diamondpaw snorted. "How?" while Orangebriar turned and glared at her. "Through Claws, and Stones." he said. Diamondpaw looked at him like he was stupid, but he just shook his head, leaping high into the air and scraping the tip of his claws across the stone. The high pitched sound hurt his ears when they glided across its surface, but Orangebriar felt appeased when he found that, despite the gentle throbbing of his paws, one crack appeared in the stone as he landed down on his paws. (obviously, this is strong but fragile stone. I dont know how to explain that xD)

Nettlepaw decied he was to go and hunt with Blackpaw and have a contest with him,:"Whoever can catch the most prey and bring it here before moonhigh wins!" he said to Blackpaw knowing he was one of the clans best hunters.
(Nettlepaw is the good hunter and blackpaw is okay..)

Tigerpaw was still uncertain, but she joined in. she jumped with all her might, and swatted at the crystal with her strong paws, making even more cracks. there was a deep cracking sound like a tree falling, as they strathced the surface. "we are going to win!" she whispered. she was not sure if they could hear them or not.
-------------------- starpaw jumped when he heard a screeching noise. "what was that?"

Orangebriar watched as the crystal slowly cracked, and he jumped up as high as he could and finally gave it a hard swipe. Landing, he yowled as the roof started to splinter in half, and he ran to the darkest corner of the cave. "Move! Now!" he told Tigerpaw and Diamondpaw, not wanting them to get squished by the now falling shards of crystals that were raining down hard from the ceiling while he watched with worried eyes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I-I dont know-!" Blackflight yowled as the floor cracked beneath them, and her heart dropped from her chest to her stomach as she and the two apprentices flew down into the open air, flipping around until they landed onto the shard-covered floor with hard thumps.

Twistedpaw landed on his side. 'OWWWIE" Twistedpaw snapped. He tried getting up. He spotted Blackflight and starpaw next to him. he watched them get up. Twistedpaw coughed.
