Yellow eyes scanned teh area, on lookout. The black she-cat sighed and curled her tail around her paws neatly. The tip of her tail twiching. Where is that apprentice? she thought. Sphinxpaw was her first apprentice and she wanted to teach him the most she could. Nightrain looked around and scented the air anxiously. Still no sign or trace of him. Well, all apprentices are late for their first training session, aren't they? Nightrain thought. She rose to her paws, her eyes still looking around. The sound of the rushing stream roared in her ears. Though she still wondered where Sphinxpaw was.

Sphinxpaw crept out from behind a bush and asked Nightrain, "What are we going to learn today?" He kept his body in a defensive position, constantly sniffing and glancing around as if someone was going to jump out of the bushes at him.

The black warrior purred. "I thought I could show you around a bit." she answered the apprentice and licked a paw. "Though next time, maybe be a little earlier so that we have more time to train." Nightrain jumped onto a nearby rock and looked at the Glittering Stream. "To start off, this is the Glittering Stream. We ill meet for trainng sessions here. Also, later in your training, I will teach you how to swim and catch fish." The black she-cat looked down at Sphinxpaw with a smile. "Sniff the air, tell me what you smell." she urged.

Sphinxpaw took a deeper sniff of air and identified what he smelled, "I smell fish, water vole, and some sort of bird."

Nightrain smiled at the apprentice. "Yup! That bird is a thrush. Remember its stench well." she mewed and padded toward the water to take a drink. She flicked her tail for Sphinxpaw to follow.

Sphinxpaw slinked behind her, his steps silent from years of practice. His eyes darted to the locations of the prey he had smelled earlier, noting them for later.

The black she-cat lifted her head, finished from drinking the water. She stretched her legs and padded after Sphinxpaw with her tail streaming behind her. "Come on! I'm going too show you other parts of the territory!" she mewed and started off. She looked back, hoping the apprentice was following her.
Soon they came to the large open meadow. Nightrain pricked her ears when she heard a rabbit hopping away. She looked at Sphinxpaw. "This is the Starlit view. Can you guess why its called that?" she questioned. She wanted to know if Sphinxpaw would be able to tell just by looking at it.

Sphinxpaw stared around, seeing nothing to give the place it's name. He replied, "No..."

Nightrain smiled and sat down curling her tail around her paws neatly. "Its called the Starlit View, because at night you can see Silverpelt shine brightly without any trees in your way of the view. Its the most romantic spot at night. But in the daytime, if your in the mood for chasing,lots of rabbits can be found here!" The black she-cat scanned the area. "Can you smell anything unfamiliar?" she asked and looked down at her apprentice, waiting patiently for his answer.

Sphinxpaw raised his head to the wind and took a deep breath. He smelled something musty. "It smells like...something abandoned..." he said.

The black she-cat nodded in agreement. "There is an abandoned twoleg place near here, but its out of StreamClan territory, so you don't have to worry." Nightrain jumped to her paws and looked in the direction of the ext part of their territory. She trotted off and flicked her tail for Sphinxpaw to follow.
She stopped when they entered the Misty forest. She turned and scented the air. "This is the Misty Forest. As you can see, its very Misty. Don't worry, you won't get lost as long as you follow me. When you learn the places of the forest it will be easier for you to learn where you are. A lot of prey comehere, especially birds. They don't like to be seen and the Misty forest is the best place they can hide because its so misty. You will have to search extra hard for prey here."

Sphinxpaw followed closely behind and look out twice as hard as normal. His pawsteps became harder as his body tensed.

Nightrain looked at Sphinxpaw. "Thats it, thats StreamClan territory. Have any questions, feel free to ask now." The she-cat began to groom her ruffled chest, the moved to her paws.

Sphinxpaw immediately asked, "Are there any areas where the other Clans could attack us easily?"

The black she-cat stopped licking her paw and looked at Sphinxpaw, shocked by his question. "Only one part maybe. The river, we could easily jump in the river and swim away, they wouldn't be able to catch us. In the Misty forest, they will easily loose our scent. The Starlit View is the one where an enemy could easily attack us, but thats about it."
