Ancient Tree

This is the tallest tree in the area, and it has been here for as long as anycat can remember.

*flicks tail towards a very tall and wide tree with rough bark and lots of branches*

This is where Lightningclan apprentices learn to climb and hunt since there are a lot of mice and birds around here.

*races up to the base of the tree*

*climbs to a high branch, and sits still, dreaming of fat birds and juicy mice. Yum! licks lips*

*sees a squirrel sniffing along the base of the tree*

*creeps up behind it and pounces, killing it instantly, but not before it let out a warning squeal that was probably heard by all the prey in the forest*

*sighs and pads back to camp*

*pads in and sniffs the air*

*scents a mouse and follows the trail*

*follows the scent to a bush*

*a mouse shoots out of the bush and I catch it*

*Two more mice run out and I catch one, chase the other, and kill it too*

*picks up the three mice by their tails and pads back to camp, panting in the sun*

*pads in with a growling stomach*

*scents a blackbird*

*stalks and kills the blackbird, then scents a sparrow*

*leaps but misses the sparrow*

*pads back to camp with the blackbird*
