Myria nodded at Rayne. I was willing to share some secrets but I think everyone should do fine under your eye. If you need anything, I will be with Chase. the beta chuckled slightly before turning.

Kit flushed under her mentor's praise and grinned widely up at Rayne. SHe waited for either Balo or Luna to go forward.

(Err...sorry I was gone for so long. I had some...business to attend to) Luna hummed quietly,and stepped forward,her eyes taking in the snow. At times like this,she wished that her pelt was lighter. She looked up at her mum,her paws gripping as best as possible into the snow. I'll go next she spoke,her voice coming out half nervous,half strong. She knew that her mum wouldn't go easy on her. So this was going to be her time to show her mum what she could really do.

Rayne nodded to her daughter, Luna, you and Balo are going to have a more difficult time during the winter months. Though our coats provide the best cover under darkness, there will be times when you will have to attack or defend no matter what environment. Think hard before you make your movements....
She stepped up and nestled Luna sensing her nerves, I will train you hard, but you are my daughter, you have my blood in your veins. I know you can do it.
With that, Rayne stepped back into her circle of snow and waited with her crystal eyes closed.

Luna nodded,and took a few quiet steps back,before turning and darting into the shadows and darkness. She lowered herself close to the ground,deciding that since she had a darker pelt,she could try and blend in with the darkness of the bushes and trees that weren't completely covered in snow. Come on Luna....You can do this...And if you can't...You know you tried your best... She quietened her breaths until she could barely hear her own breath. She padded around silently in the shadows,her eyes narrowed in concentration,always keeping her mother in her vision at all times. Once she had circled around twice,she dashed out as silent as possible,using the snow as best as she could to her advantage. She leapt at her mum's side,but she'd somehow tripped in snow,causing her to become unbalanced and to pummel towards her mum's back legs.

Rayne kept her eyes closed, listening and inhaling bits of her daughter's scent. I can barely hear her, that's good...but she isn't using the wind to her advantage....
The black female heard her daughter's fumble and moved to the side as Luna slid past her. She walked up a few steps, towering over her daughter, What went wrong?

Luna slid against the snow,and groaned in annoyance. She stood up,only to realise her face and upper body was covered in snow. She shook it off,and looked up at her mum. Umm... She thought for a moment about what she could've done. She could've just simply said that her mum was too skillful compared to Luna,but that wouldn't cut it. I hid myself well...I used my colouring well....I made myself as silent as possible....I made sure my breathing was quiet....What else could I have- Realisation hit Luna. Smell! Of coarse! My scent,I didn't hide my scent. In fact...I don't think I even tried.. I didn't hide my scent as well as I could of she mumbled,looking away from her mum,then back up at her. No. Luna was going to admit to what she did wrong and improve on her mistakes. And I also didn't be as careful as I could have been when I ran out towards you

Rayne nodded, Exactly. I smelt you circle around twice and you perched upwind from me. I understand your sense of smell isn't as enhanced as the rest of us, but it seemly means you will need to work twice as hard. Now try again.

Luna nodded. She darted back into the darkness and shadows,and watched her mum for a moment,before going low to the ground once again. Alright,you can't go upwind,you have to go downwind... She recalled what Kovu had told her about smelling. Just smell normally...She went downwind,allowing the wind to carry her scent in the opposite direction. Come on,Luna... She padded around her mum in a semi-circle,always keeping her eyes on her mum. She silenced her breaths like before,and crouched down near the brush,narrowing her eyes. Then,she silently ran out,or as silent as a wolf could be darting in the snow,and leapt at her mother's back,hoping she had hidden her scent better this time.

Rayne flicked her ears this way and that. Luna had indeed inherited her skill for stealth... The black wolf closed her eyes and had to genuinely listen for her daughter's dainty footsteps. She inhaled picking up the barest hint of her, She's downwind...good....
Rayne exhaled taking in her surroundings with crystal clarity. Luna was close...either to her right or slightly left.....She waited, processed and heard the barest hint of her charging before the skilled wolf stepped out of the way.
Very good. I actually had to try on that one.

Luna felt herself grin from pride. Really? she squeaked,then quickly regained her posture. I mean,cool! She couldn't believe it. Her mum had to actually try! That was like,amazing in itself! She turned to look at Balo and smiled happily. Time for her brother's turn..

Kit grinned at Luna and then nipped Balo's ear. "Wah, Balo! You're taller than us now!" Kit mused, looking up at him. He was a bit taller than her and Luna. "Good luck!" She said, grinning at him. It was his turn to train.

Luna grinned back at Kit,trotting over to her. She nudged him,and looked up at Balo. "Good luck Balo!" she barked happily.

Rayne smiled at her son, he was indeed growing to be a fine wolf. Though he was stuck in that awkward phase where his paws were bigger than his legs.
Step up Balo.
