## Synopsis

Nokue comes from behind a bush, panting and so exhausted that he collapses onto the ground, with SwiftFang walking past him. HookChomp appears, telling Nokue that he did well training that day and to eat his lunch and enjoy the rest of the afternoon. Nokue thanks him and starts to get up when an ecstatic AdalWolf comes, happily jumping from a bush and landing on his tail as Nokue moans. AdalWolf asks him about training, and Nokue says that it was tough for him. AdalWolf assures him it'll get easier, and they then go to get something to eat from the prey pile. AdalWolf happily takes a jackalope while Nokue takes a dead bird. They then go and sit with the older apprentices; AdalWolf's older brother FireStone, and AshHide. All four talk about training and laugh at AdalWolf's ego of being ready for more training, when RedHeart approaches Nokue She tells him that he's interesting because his eyes are unusual. All the apprentices then being to surround Nokue and stare at him, bringing up that his eyes look silver. Nokue nervously asks them if they could 'please not be so close'. SwiftFang and GhostToe arrive, and RedHeart hugs her sister while Nokue asks GhostToe how his training went. GhostToe mentions he was too scared to fight anyone, and AdalWolf teases him that he curled up into a ball and whimpered. Nokue assures GhostToe that after some more training, that everyone will be scared of him, even AdalWolf. RedHeart goes with SwiftFang to catch some frogs in the river while FireStone and AshHide fight over which one of them RedHeart likes. Suddenly, RedHoof comes in, making the young todds nervous as AdalWolf identifies RedHoof to Nokue. Nokue quietly tells him that he recognizes RedHoof as the fox who almost tore off his head. RedHoof says that he's there because he was ordered to bring Nokue to the Chief and Vice Chief. After a moment, RedHoof menacingly asks Nokue if he's coming, making young Nokue nervous. Nokue tries to talk to RedHoof, saying that he's SwiftFang's father, but RedHoof angrily tells Nokue that she isn't his daughter, and that she's nothing to him, making Nokue quiet. RedHoof brings Nokue to the med den and leaves as Nokue approaches SunStrider, HookScale, and WitherRunner, afraid he's in trouble. SunStrider assures him that he isn't, as WitherRunner gives Nokue some medicine for his head. He eats the herbs, saying they're disgusting. SunStrider asks Nokue if he can come with him and HookScale to where they found him, since it might bring back his memories. Nokue agrees, wanting to get his memories back, while HookScale acts suspicious of Nokue.
Meanwhile at the lake, RedHeart fails to catch a frog as SwiftFang teases her big sister. As SwiftFang attempts it herself, also failing to catch one, RedHeart laughs until SwiftFang intentionally splashes water on her. RedHeart pushes her in the water as SwiftFang grabs her ear, pulling her in.
In the forest, SunStrider goes with HookScale, Nokue, and BloodSnout, with the latter intending to keep an eye on and watch Nokue. HookScale says they reached the spot, but after being asked, Nokue says he doesn't remember the place at all. BloodSnout suggests they look around the border of the area, and the Chief agrees. SunStrider asks Nokue how much he loves the Firefly Tribe, and Nokue says everyone is very nice to him. He then asks Nokue about if got his memories back, and his tribe were enemies to the Firefly tribe, if he would hurt anyone. Nokue defensively tells him that he wouldn't, but BloodSnout is skeptical. Suddenly Nokue yells, holding his head in pain as he sees blurry flashes of the skull-wearing foxes, hearing ringing in his head. SunStrider snaps Nokue out of it and asks what happened. Nokue says he remembered something: foxes wearing skulls on their heads. BloodSnout and HookScale are alarmed, with the latter growling at the kit, accusing him of being a Skulk. SunStrider steps forward, telling him that there could by many reasons why he saw them, and demands he stands down before he bites his ear off. HookScale stops growling. Nokue asks about the Skulks as SunStrider begins to tell him their story. SunStrider talks about how they take other territories by killing any fox in their way. BloodSnout adds to the story, mentioning how they stoop so low as to kill their own kin if they're too weak. Nokue hopes he's not one of them as BloodSnout says they need to head back into the tribe before nightfall. As they walk back home, HookScale stares at Nokue in suspicion.
Meanwhile, RedHeart and SwiftFang leave the river, it having left them soaking wet. RedHoof notices them, concerned that RedHeart is all wet, and RedHeart tells her father that they're fine and just went fishing. After she leaves to get some food for SwiftFang, RedHoof stops SwiftFang, reprimanding her for getting his daughter wet, as RedHeart could get sick. SwiftFang apologies, saying she'd never hurt RedHeart but RedHoof threatens her, saying that even if it's not intentional, he'll hurt her if anything happens to RedHeart. He then leaves a saddened SwiftFang as GhostToe tries to comfort her. SwiftFang leaves, upset at the way RedHoof treats her, leaving GhostToe feeling unhelpful.
At nighttime in HookChomp's family den, AdalWolf enthusiastically tells his family how his first day of training went. After picking a fight with FireStone, AdalWolf gets knocked into a sleeping WitherRunner, who pounces on FireStone, and AdalWolf joins in on the fight. HookChomp joins in as as well when FireStone calls out to him for help. EmberSnap then joins the others as HookChomp pins AdalWolf down and begins to tickle him. HookChomp asks Nokue if he would like to give AdalWolf and WitherRunner a hand. Nokue, excited to join on the family's fun, accidently calls HookChomp dad. Nokue freezes, apologizing, but HookChomp and the family happily ask him to join in again. HookChomp reassures Nokue of the promise he made earlier, accepting Nokue as a part of their family. Nokue cheerfully joins the family wrestle. Outside the den, the family laugh as they play, waking up LashGrowl, who realizes that he's not going to be able to sleep that night.
