[yup. museless title.]
daggerpaw was standing outside of blackstar's den, just as his mentor had asked him to. they were going to be training some today. considering they hadn't had a training session in like... forever.

Well, they probably hadn't had an ic training session ever. Ducking out of his den, Blackstar saw his apprentice waiting. "Hello Daggerpaw" he said. Stepping past the apprentice, he turned. "We'll be training somewhere new today" he said.

he nodded, somewhat excited yet still kind of expressionless.

Blackstar turned, heading toward the entrance to camp, he waited for Daggerpaw for a moment, before exiting through the tunnel. The black tom emerged into a thick forest, turning to wait for Daggerpaw to catch up.

immediately the dark tom caught up, padding right behind blackstar. he was eager to see this new place they would train.

Leading them through the forest, they walked for a little while before finally coming to the spot. A large stone was imbedded in the ground, it's top smooth and large. "Today we'll ork on your pyro training" he said, jumping up onto the rock. A pile of sticks would serve as a source of fuel.

"Lets see what you can do so far" Blackstar said.

he nodded and looked around for something he could set on fire. he noticed a thick stick and smiled. perfect. he ran over to it, picked it up in his jaws and carefully carried it over to where blackstar was, setting it down in front of him. he thought for a moment. maybe he should try something more advanced this time. so he began to look for sticks. as he found them, he picked them up and carried them to his mini pile he had started. after he figured he had enough, he sat down a few tail-lengths away and started to focus on one of the sticks at the bottom. focus. focus. he stared. and stared. and a small spark ignited the stick, sending flames throughout the pile. though it was very short. so he then grew frustrated. and that added to the pile. as he focused some more, the fire eventually grew and grew until the entire pile of sticks was lit up in flames. he padded forward and dabbed his paw at one of the lower sticks to see if it was just one of his illusions. he yanked it back with a squeak as he felt intense pain. it was real.

Blackstar watchedas the flames grew. It was quite good, especially seeing as Daggerpaw had received barely any pyro training. He wondered why his apprentice had touched the flame, but didn't ask. "Good work" he said, inspecting the flames.

daggerpaw turned and dipped his head in a simple "thank you", wondering what his mentor would do next.

"Do you think you could light a moving target?" Blackstar asked. He wanted to find the exact extent of Daggerpaw's ability before teaching him any more.

he shrugged. "depends on what you mean by 'moving target'."

Blackstar took a long stick in his jaws, hefting it carefully. Dragging it to Daggerpaw, he let go. "I'll start slow, that way you can have an easier time focusing on it" he said.

he nodded and then paused. "if i were to set a moving target on fire, what kind would it be? a cat?" he questioned before they started.
