Ciel flew over the territory gazing down at her year old whelps. The two winged ones seemed to be impatient to learn how to fly but she knew they weren't ready, not yet. She lowered her altitude and slowed to a halt in the clearing, flapping her wings slightly then folded them.
"C'mon now pups we're going to go over some skills that are essential to hunting. And Cappy and Kye need to start learning how to fly."
ooc: *pokes sucky post* I can so do better. xP

ooc: Once they've done some practice we'll take them on a real hung in the Hunting Grounds.
ic: Chazz was standing next to Ciel now, staring at his one year old pups. Time sure flew by fast. He thought to himself. He smiled as Kye flapped and stretched his silver wings. "I'm ready!" he exclaimed. "Mom, Dad I can totally fly!" he said, eager to prove himself. "Now now Kye, calm down. You'll get a chance shortly." he said. "This is a learning experiance for everyone."
"Will we learn how to fight?" Vitani asked. Not waiting for an answer, she pounced on her sister, Claera.

Ciel chuckled with obvious amusement towards her pups. Her eyes sparkling as she shook her head.
Claera growled as her sister made them both tumble, "Yeah, when are we going to learn to fight? I'm ready to kick Vitani's butt." Although Claera thought of herself as more mature than her brothers and sisters she was still a pup and quite competitive.
"I bet I'll be able to fly better than you can Kye!" Cappy boasted as he stretched his wings and went down on his chest before pouncing on his brother.
ooc: oops misread that. I'll fix it here. x3

ooc: Vitani wants to learn to FIGHT not fly xD she's a feisty one and she'll be a prized fighter when she grows up, very strategic that one.
ic: Kye yipped as his brother pounced on him. He bit Cappucino's ear lightly and struggled out from under him. "No way, Cappy! I'll fly faster then you!" he said laughing.

Cappy made a weird sound that seemed like a laugh and yip as his brother scrambled out from under him. "You wish Kye, I'll totally beat you any day." He nipped at his brother's shoulder and growling playfully.
Ciel rolled her eyes and parted the two tussling brothers, "Come one now boys, I'm sure you'll both be proud princes of the sky and uhm... where's Pluto Chazz?" Puzzled she scanned the area for the other pup.

Chazz blinked for a moment. "Oh...Where is that pup?" he said to himself. "Pluto!" he barked loudly. The white male's light blue tail could be seen from the hillside, sticking up from a rock. Pluto jumped over the rock and ran down the hill to his family. "I'm here!" he said panting slightly.
"Good, now we can begin." Chazz said, looking at Ciel to start.

Ciel looked over the pups. They were all there. "Well how about we start by running around the den area a few times then I'll take you two winged boys to the hills while your father trains you pups to hunt and fight." She turned to Chazz, "I'll bring them back when I think I've seen enough." And with a smile she nudged her pups and began to sprint around the den area.
Claera yipped to her sister a racing challenge and set off taking slightly long strides as she attempted to reach her mother.
Cappucino pounced after his mom flapping his wings in an attempt to fly and for a while he was airborne but his excitement got the better of him and he fell on his rump and tumbled onto his back.

Chazz jumped in and ran next to Ciel barking at his pups to get a move on. It was good to stretch your muscles before training. Vitani accepted her sister's challenge and started out on a slow run, a bit behind Claera. She then began to speed up and pull ahead of her.
Kye laughed at his brother for falling and he too attempted to fly. He spread his wings and glided a short distance but when he flapped his wings he fell. He shook his head but got right back up and continued to run among his siblings.
Pluto, usually distracted by some means of action stopped to help Cappucino up. "You ok Cappy?" he asked wagging his tail.

Ciel looked behind her, and she too began to give encouraging barks to her pups. She noticed that Vitani had easily passed Claera but she too began to speed up taking shorter quicker strides and soon she was almost equal in speed to her sister. "Oh no you don't! She growled, though she reasonably knew that Vitani was built differently than her thus she was quicker.
Cappucino scowled at Kye, but soon he too laughed as he fell. He smiled as Pluto helped him up. "Thanks Pluto, now come on they're leaving us behind!" He started to run and soon went up beside Kye and flapped his wings to help propel him foward.

Pluto nodded. "No prob." he said but was soon distracted by a flying butterfly. "ooh!" he said. He chased it for a good while but then sped forward to catch up with his running family.
Kye, not to be outdone spread his wings as well, he began to fly. "I'm doing it!" he said but his wings weren't used to supporting his body and they soon began to hurt. He landed again roughly. His wings hurt but he made it look like he had landed on his own free will.
Vitani, liking the challenge her sister was giving her, decided to run fast. Her long legs could carry her far distances at a good rate but she knew she wouldn't be very good at fighting. Her muscles weren't very big, she was more speedy then strong, but hopefully Claera didn't realize that. She pulled ahead and was running at Chazz's and Ciel's heels.

Cappucino narrowed his eyes as Kye began to fly up then leapt up into the air, wings spread like those of an eagle and flapped them once as hard as he could. He clutched his front paws in and stretched his hind legs as he jumped, he noticed that he too was in the air and stared down at Kye who had by now landed. He tried to keep himself up for a while, and although his body was slightly lighter than his brother's he began to lose altitude, thinking that his brother made a perfect landing he too tried to make a good landing, He slowed down and bent his wings like a parachute before reaching his paws down to land and once his wings were somewhat folded he began to run again, barking to Kye a congrats of his first small flight.
Claera's bod was built for strength (As much as a pup could be built anyway) and she figured out that her lighter built sister wouldn't stand long in an edurance fight. She decided, however, to keep this from her sister and just let her think that she was better than her. She didn't want her to feel bad, even a little. She looked back at her brothers and told them to stop playing with their wings and hurry it up before chasing after Vitani.
Cappy stuck out his tongue at his sister and barked out a shut up to her, which caused Ciel to turn around and give him the "Say you're sorry" look, which he blatantly ignored.

Vitani ran ahead but slowed to her sister's pace. She just smiled a benign smile at Claera and yipped, excited to be running so much. The exercise made her legs feel good.
Kye was running along at a good pace and heard Cappy's congrats. He congradulated him back and kept running. He looked behind him and saw Pluto, trailing along at the back like he usually did. Pluto was very distracted and stopped suddenly to inspect a crawling june bug.
Chazz barked at Ciel. "Perhaps we should stop now?" he asked, not wanting to outrun the pups so they were to tired to train.

Ciel nodded, agreeing with his idea, she herself felt a little winded as well. She stopped and turned around, trying to rally up the pups by yipping and barking for their attention.
"Okay, now that we've had a good run, we should get on with the training. Since I've seen Cappy and Kye doing pretty well on trying to fly, I'll have a short session with them and the rest of you can go with dad, he's a way better fighter than I could be." With that said she ran up to the hills, urging for the winged males to follow her.
Cappy smirked at Kye, he flapped his wings and ran after his mom with eagerness. He let his tongue out and stopped at the plateau.

Kye followed after his brother and mother, flying the whole way. He was very proud of himself even if it was a very short distance.
Chazz turned to the others. "Okay Vitani, Pluto and Claera. We will begin our training for fighting. We will spar." he said happily. "Pluto, you're up first agains Claera." he said. "Now there isn't too much to fighting but some of the basic rules are, never attack first unless forced, always gaurd your neck, and sometimes it's wiser to choose flght over fight" he said. "Now I want you two to fight and give it your all but not too rough. Okay?" he said and waited for his pups to begin.
Pluto blundered out to where Claera stood. He became as focused as possible for him and stared at Claera. Basic instinct told him to start to circle. He crouched and began to circle around her.

Ciel waited for the pups to come. "Okay, the first thing that you have to know is be wary of the wind, if it's too strong don't be reckless and try to fly. Also, don't fly too high or too steep or you will be unbalanced and you'll inevitably stall. Any questions?"
Cappy was confident that he'd beat Kye in a flying test, if there ever was one. "Mom, how do you steer?" "Just lean on one side and your wings will surely follow. Anything else?" She answered, looking to the two.
------
Claera listened intently to her father and soon found herself fighting with Pluto. She knew that it was somewhat difficult for him to focus and she tried to use it to her advantage. She stared at him in the eyes, trying to get a feel of what he was going to do next and she followed suit. The two of them were now going in a circle watching one another. She pounced to the left, then the right, her tail swooshing as she did so.
