When RedHoof threatens the young Nokue, demanding to know who he is, **FireStone** quickly acts and tackles him away from the scared kit and stands between him and RedHoof growling to make him stay away. He then asks the new kit Nokue if he is okay and says it was no problem after being thanked by the nervous kit. **FireStone** later goes with his sister WitherRunner to help her gather herbs. They both joke around with **FireStone** mentioning how he's not her baby brother due to them being from the same litter and a two second time gape doesn't matter. After gathering herbs, **FireStone** is seen watching Chief SunStrider address the tribe and call out the future apprentices including his little brother AdalWolf as **FireStone** has a look of excited on his face. AdalWolf then decides on the same branch he himself choose, Guardian.

HookChomp confirms that he is indeed.

#### A Forgotten Past

Later that day in the mid-afternoon, **FireStone** is seen eating a mouse next to AshHide as his little brother AdalWolf and Nokue comes to join him. **FireStone** greets them, asking them how training went with both kits agreeing it was fun but Nokue is exhausted. AshHide advises they better get used to it as it gets harder. **FireStone** jokes about them surviving training for as long as they have. AdalWolf enthusiastically says he can handle it and more with **FireStone** rolling his eyes. When RedHeart arrives, she greets Nokue saying his eyes are unusual. **FireStone** and all the others stare at Nokue noticing his peculiar silver eyes. After that RedHeart leaves with her sister SwiftFang, **FireStone** jokes that she is into him with AshHide disagreeing saying he couldn't even beat him in a fight. **FireStone** brushes it off saying no one likes a sore loser when RedHoof appears asking what the two young todds are talking about. With both todds being intimidated, **FireStone** nervously avoids the question and watches as RedHoof leads Nokue to the med den where the Chief and Vice-Chief are waiting for him. Later that day, Nokue stays again in **FireStone'**s family den as AdalWolf telling his family how awesome his training went today. **FireStone** warns AdalWolf about him being his sparing partner tomorrow with AdalWolf saying it'll be an easy win for himself. Wanting to prove him wrong **FireStone** pins his little brother down as they begin to wrestle. **FireStone** knocks AdalWolf into their sister, angering her as she was trying to sleep.

As they playfully wrestle further, his mother EmberSnap joins as well helping him against his sister. When HookChomp offers Nokue to join in the fun, Nokue accepts and accidently calls him dad. **FireStone** and the rest of the family stops playing at the surprising moment. **FireStone** watches as his father HookChomp accepts Nokue into their family as he asks Nokue to join them. The young kit happily accepts and the family resumes their playful family wrestle as **FireStone** can be heard saying "oh come on not again" in an annoyed tone.

Nokue tells him it's a long story and he'll explain as they walk back to the tribe. **FireStone** asks Nokue if he's a Skulk but Nokue tells him he's a four-tailed fox from the Omni Tribe. **FireStone** is beyond shocked saying they're legends and asks about Nokue's other tails. Nokue tells him that they went away as his guidance spirits formed when he lost his memory. He tells **FireStone** how his tribe was wiped out and the Skulk he saw RainDrop and him are the only survivors. **FireStone** apologizes to Nokue for the terrible news and Nokue asks him if he can keep this a secret saying he doesn't want to tell everyone until the Skulk thing dies down. **FireStone** happily agrees to the promise but asks Nokue what his real name is. Nokue tells him it was FlameScar and they agree to keep it as Nokue for now.

#### The Hidden Snake

The next day **FireStone** gets ready to go off on a border party with SunStrider and the other guardians. He gets ready to say goodbye to his family.

While **FireStone** is nervous he winks at Nokue. He finishes saying goodbye to his family and leaves with the party. Sometime later while walking **FireStone** hears GhostToe shake in fear so he consoles the younger tod telling him that he doesn't have to worry as they will protect him if something goes wrong. GhostToe tells him unconvincingly that he's not scared and to not treat him like a kit as he can protect himself just fine. The group then make it to a rocky cliff and when he hears that they passed the border just now and are in Skulks territoy right now, **FireStone** suggests that turning back but StoneScar tells him that the Skulks started this by coming into their territory first by attacking them. **FireStone** follows the others and goes down the rocks when they are suddenly attacked by snakes.

When LashGrowl asks where the medicine is **FireStone** tells him that HateHowl dropped it back in the snakes nest. GhostToe goes back and gets it for them to save SunStrider's life. When the new tod offers to carry SunStrider back to the tribe **FireStone** asks him if he's sure and LashGrowl says that he wouldn't have offered if he wasn't sure and tells everyone that they're going back. Sometime later **FireStone** makes it back to the tribe with the others and looks on in worry. HookScale tells everyone that WitherRunner cannot work with all of this commotion going on and asks everyone to stay back to which they do. Hours later at nighttime **FireStone** sits with his parents and Nokue worrying about SunStrider's condition.
