The Lily and the Bear [C]

Bearspirit kept true to his word and moved to the apprentice den early the next morning. Spotting his gray striped apprentice, he reached out one of his own massive paws to gently shake her awake. "It's time to being your training, Lilypaw. Take a moment to wake up if you need to. I'll be outside when you're ready." And with that, Bearspirit stepped out of the den and sat on the ground beside it. Training an apprentice at this particular time made him nervous. Dogs everywhere... and he noticed less prey being available. He was certainly about to be tested as a Riverclan warrior, he just hoped he would be able to meet his own expectations. He did his best to focus on the here and now, and not what might happen. "Training will go smoothly today. It will be fine." He then glance dup at the sky where he knew the stars would be. Please... let us be fine...
