"Never stop moving! You must focus on your surroundings so that you won't be caught off guard!" Onyx was slithering around watching each of the hatchlings move about. He had been focused on the eggs lately and given the hatchlings the job to get more familiar with the shadows. He wanted them to be the best at avoiding danger and dodging any potential threats.
With this came a unique way of training. Onyx would use his size to life up a large jar full of pebbles. He would then set it up on ropes so they could fall when he wanted them to. The hatchlings had the single goal not to be hit when they fell. They needed to jump in and out of their shadows to dodge them or use their speed alone. This led to Onyx finding better ways for them to move and safely dodge. There were limits to how a serpent could move but an incredible flexibility.
