After talking with his father that morning he decided that he had a lot of things that he would need to teach the pups. He decided to let them play in the pool for the day while he sat down in the grass to get his thoughts over what he should do next.
The one that was looking after them today was another apprentice named Mud Paw. She was a wolf that seemed to be the same age as River Paw. Her pelt was brown which was where she got her name from. Unlike River Paw she was a total B**** when he tried to talk to her she looked at him and said: "Look pup my job is to watch you not to chat with you so get the hell out of my sight."
Ryan cursed her and vowed to get payback.
He laid in the ground and remembered what his father had told him "Let's see so Mountain Clan is strong and good at climbing, Storm clan has high maneuverability and is silent, Swamp Clan can swim really well, Blood Clan is really good when it comes to land battles, and Tree Clan can run around in the treetops like monkeys."
He sighed "Man, I really have a big list on what I have to do."
While he was thinking he had his eyes closed, so he didn't know who had sat next to him. He felt that two people had laid next to him. He opened his eyes and found that there were two pups on both sides.
The one on his right was Fang Pup and the others were the ones that had also followed them when he first made the pool. "Are you okay Viper Pup," asked Fang Pup worriedly.
Ryan nodded "Yeah I was just thinking of other ways that we can get stronger," he replied. The small grey pup said "Oh" and then his ears and head dropped.
This surprised Ryan "What's wrong Fang Pup why are you sad?"
The pup shook his head "I'm not sad I'm just disappointed in myself, while we are enjoying ourselves you are here beating your head up while you find ways to make us better. We are always having fun and never help you."
Ryan shook his head "That's not true I come up with ways to make our family stronger, while I do that your job is to keep our family together ok."
The young pup nodded and wagged his tail ferociously "I will Viper Pup you can count on me." Then he ran back to the pool and began inspecting everyone making sure that they were safe.
Ryan just smiled inside "Man that pup is so cute and nice that it should be illegal."
The 3 other pups around him sighed and stood up and began walking towards the pool as well.
"Wait," he said to them before they could get far. They turned around and walked back to him.
"I've seen all three of you together but I never asked for your names."
They all looked at him surprised, the three of them had a different colored pelt. There were white, black and brown. The pups all stayed silent for a few seconds but the white pup spoke up first.
"I'm Cloud Pup"
"My name is NIght Pup"
"They call me Wood Pup"
After saying their names they lowered their head and in unison said "we appreciate your hard work" then they turned around and ran back to the pool.
What surprised Rex the most was that they were all females. He looked at them, run the edge of the pool and sat down. He shook his head and laughed "Looks like that Fang Pup is really good with the ladies."
He dropped his head again and began to think of ways to get the pups to improve on all the skills they would need for when he wasn't with them.
The rest of the day the pups spent it playing tag since Ryan told them they couldn't do strength training until tomorrow so that their bodies would feel better.
Today they were brought a fox type monster for dinner, he got to consume the core without anyone noticing. After they ate the pups and him took the remains to the bone pile.
After the sun came down and the moon showed up they went back to the den. Again like every other night the pups would wait for him to enter before they did. After he had chosen where to sleep, pup mountain would immediately form.
