Swanstep danced through the air, preping herself for a fight. Training was good even for warriors, and although most didn't like to practice, she liked to take things off her mind by concentrating on her imaginary opponent.
She jumped up and over, rolled under, dashed to both sides, and finally snagged a claw into the opponent. A small cry of triumph crawled up from her chest. Then he was gone, realising himself from her air-light thouch. The platform she now stood on was no feet of strenght, but one of her mind. How long she could stand on this condensed air platform, she had no idea, but didnt intend to stay long.
She jumped down, landing on another one, bracing herself before hitting the ground, where the tom had been waiting once he evaded her grasp.
ooc: The downer about SwanStep's power is that if she makes a platform big enough, others can join her.

Creeping along the borders of OceanClan, Ledgestep felt her heart leap. The over-sized she-cat wasn't used to so much tension in the air, let alone exploring on her own. She should have volunteered to go on patrol, she inwardly scolded.
Rounding an edge, she crept stealthily (which was very difficult considering her build) towards Swanstep's location. Unbeknowst (I probably butchered the spelling, but I'm tired) to the other she-cat, Ledgestep lumbered towards a small ground squirrel and dug herself down. Leaping rather clumsily, she cursed under her breath as she missed.

Swanstep stopped at the sound of another cat. She sniffed the air. Had they seen her? Were they going to think she was crazy? Even if they hadnt, they still might. She shighed. Another good practice spot destroyed by hunters.
It was Ledgestep. Hunting? Aww, darn she missed. SwanStep supposed it would be hard, being big-built like she was.

Hulking mass heaving a sigh, Ledgestep padded forward. At the sight of Swanstep, she let out a startled yowl, not expecting to find anyone. "Oh hi, Swanstep," she mewed good-naturedly.
Concerning Ledgestep's gerth, she had been called many things. Fat, muscular, overgrown, unproportioned, awkward...the list went on. In all truth, she was a rather thin cat with massive, beefy-looking limbs and a large head. For some reason, all most cats seemed to see when they looked at her was a monster.

SwanStep smiled widely, glad to have some REAL compaiene. As she started a conversation, her opponent was padding quietly to the back of her mind, where she would soon pluck him from again.
SwanStep was a very friendly cat. She was cats for themselves, not looks. The only cat she had ever care about looking at for looks was Storm..she waved the thought from her head. "Hi LedgeStep. I didnt mean to startle you!" She appologized.

"It's fine," she weakly lied, feeling like a bashful fool. She was a bit relieved, she had to admit, at the sight of the familiar Clanmate.
"So you were hunting?" It was a stupid question, she knew, but it was her way of making conversation. She had had to try something.

ooc: lol wow...i have no answer....oh. okay here we go.
Oc: "No..just, having some alone time. Alone time can get pretty lonely though. I'm glad you came along!" She laguhed, hoping it didn't sound as nervous as she really was. SwanStep did NOT want to sound rude in any way, especially to a clanmate.

Ledgestep purred contentedly. In her mind, Swanstep was the friendliest cat she had ever met. Then again, she hadn't met very many cats in her lifetime. I've lived a sheltered life, she thought. "Yes, I know what you mean. I'm not used to being out by myself."

"WEll then we should hunt together? If thats what you were doing." SwanStep smiled widely at hearing the new friend purr. That made her happy. 'So a friend huh? Good for me!' She thought, when really she felt good for LegdgeStep. Just because of her shape..she'd been treated bacdly. Why were so many cats prediguce? In her ind, she rolled her eyes at the thought.

Embersoul padded to the grand waterfall. She willingly lept in the pool and to the ember rock. She touched her nose to it and closed her eyes, but nothing came. It troubled her how she couldn't reach her father lately... She felt so alone without him...
Warmwind padded around in the clearing boredly.

An eager look passed through her eyes. "You mean it? Honestly?" She was aware of how desperate and bewildered she sounded, but at that moment, she didn't care. At least she had made a friend. Nature seemed to take part in her happiness; trees swayed as if dancing, leaves rustled around her paws, and a waterfull gushed in the distance. Speaking of a waterfall, perhaps she would suggest they go fishing?

Why have you abandoned me father? she asked as her nose was still on the rock. Then Embersoul was swept away in a small dream. A tom that looked exactly like her stood in front of her. "I'm your brother, Magma. Our father has died Embersoul. In yet another eruption." the tom meowed to Embersoul. Embersoul looked at him with shock and sorrow. "D-dead?" she meowed but knew the answer and sighed. "And you are my brother? Why don't you come to live with me? I want my kin with me," she whispered.
