                       Battle Practice
Once Sylia assured Claws and Spots that she could take care of their cubs they went out to have some time together. "Today I'm going to teach you how to battle!" Sylia announced. Rocky grinned showing his sharp teeth as the others listened and scraped at the dirt with excitement. "Oh boy! Now I can sharpen my claws for a reason!" Junx burst out happily.
"Remember to keep you're claws sheathed so you don't hurt anyone." Sylia instructed. Rocky looked disappointed since he wanted to leave some scratches on Fritz and get some to show off.
They practiced swiping at each other. After a few defense techniques they saw that Sandy mastered the swipe, Rocky mastered giving quick blows, Fritz mastered stealth, Grassy mastered at clawing ears and Junx mastered at giving a deep and quick bite.
Suddenly they heard a "poof"! A golden peacock crept out of the shadows! "Hey bud!" Sylia said happily bowing. "SHONG!?" Rocky hissed. "You didn't think you'd be seeing me anytime soon, huh cubs?" Shong croaked, staring into the blank faces of the cubs. "You know each other, great!" Sylia shouted, clearly surprised and happy. "Sylia, I've had a bad past with their father." Shong said hesitantly. Sylia didn't know whos side she should be on, a best friends or a friendly neighbor!
