Onyxclaw padded into the warrior's den excitedly. He was finally a warrior! Onyx took in a deep breath and sighed happily. Looking around, he didn't see any of his friends at first. Maybe I should just make my new nest for the moment, Onyxclaw thought. He searched around for some moss and a good place to sleep or rest. Onyx found a shady place under a small tree that looked inviting. Smiling, he took the moss he found and quickly made a new nest under the small tree. His ears pricked up as he heard someone draw near. Onyxclaw looked up to see a cat coming toward him, but he couldn't tell who it was at first.

"Hello there, young one," Redfern greeted the stranger warmly. Having heard of the recent ceremonies, she was assuming this was one of Rockcan's newest warriors. It was always a relief to hear that the clan was becoming stronger, particularly with recent events in mind.
Examining the younger tom keenly, the red tabby finally smiled.
"My name is Redfern. It's good to see you've made yourself right at home."

Onyxclaw smiled, happy to meet someone new on his first day in the Warriors' Den. "Hello, Redfern. I'm Onyxclaw. Nice to meet you! Yes, I've made my nest. All I need to do now is meet some more friends..." Onyx hoped there would still be friends left after Death Clan's takeover. "Anyway, how long have you been in the Warriors' Den, Redfern?" Onyxclaw could tell Redfern was a senior warrior, but he was just trying to make conversation and get his mind off of the horrors taking place at the moment in Rock Clan.

Redfern brightened at the mention of a name. It was now confirmed that this was indeed one of the new warriors. "Onyxclaw? It's quite unique, I'm happy for you," she purred good-naturedly. Standing up, the red female stretched and cracked her shoulders. "It's a little quiet around here right now, unfortunately." What with two of their warriors of who-knows-where, doing Drought's bidding. Other than that, there weren't many warriors at all.
"Well now, I've been in this warrior's den for a season or so now," she murmured thoughtfully. "Though I spent a few moons in Fireclan's warrior's den. The majority of my life was in neither though, but outside the clans," she finally admitted with a bashful laugh.

Onyxclaw grinned. "Thanks. I like it a lot." When Onyx heard what Redfern said next, he became intrigued. "Whoa. You've been in FireClan? Cool!"

Redfern laughed brightly at the tom's enthusiasm. "I was born in Fireclan, and grew up there until I became a warrior. Then I left, and lived as a loner until a few moons ago, when I joined Rockclan." It was fairly easy to admit the truth of her past, particularly when she was leaving out so many details. Her time as a kittypet, the war she started and her kits growing up in Iceclan. It was beautifully rich.

"Wow..." Onyxclaw said with wonder filling his amber eyes. "That's so neat! Any cool adventures you'd like to share?" he asked curiously. Though, Onyx understood if some of the memories were too personal for Redfern to share. But hey! living in a different clan and being a loner before living in RockClan was pretty cool. Onyxclaw waited for Redfern's answer.

Redfern chuckled at the younger tom's interest. It was nice to see curiosity in others, though she herself didn't see much interest in her own history. She was romanticizing the past, there had been a lot of mistakes and pain along the way.
"Well, if you'd like to hear them, I have plenty. What exactly where you interested in?" she asked finally, tipping her head. The red tabby could always spare time for curiosity.

Onyxclaw thought for a moment. "Why did you decide to leave IceClan and become a rogue?" He asked Redfern.

"Well," Redfern began thoughtfully, settling herself down. "It was because of Fear, my mate. He was the brother of Bloodflame, though I doubt a youngster like yourself would know of him. Anyway, he traveled into Fireclan when I was an apprentice, and asked Darkstar to join, in honor of his brother." Redfern informed him, her eyes glazing over at the return of such old memories.
"Darkstar refused and Fear left. Curious, I followed him. We became friends, and I continued to visit him all throughout my apprenticehood, and when I became a warrior, I left Fireclan to be with him as a loner. It wasn't easy to leave my friends and ties behind, but I loved him."

Onyxclaw listened with curiosity filling to the brim. "Wow...what a tough decision." Onyx thought about whom he'd leave his clan for and the answer came to him instantly: Shadowpaw. Onyxclaw didn't know what he'd do without her. "So, what other cool stories do you have?" he asked Redfern.

Redfern purred blissfully at his interest, and his naivety. It was nice to see such exuberance in one so young, and she dearly hoped he would never need to be involved in the things she had. At his request for another story, her muzzle furrowed thoughtfully. "Well now, it wasn't long ago so perhaps you know of the clan kit swap?"

Onyxclaw nodded. "Yeah. What about it?" he asked Redfern curiously.
