Code of Honor[]
Thunder's Herd doesn't appear but was mentioned by Rock, who said to have left the herd recently by his own choice. When Sky uses her powers to read Rock's mind she has a vision of him running away from a group of unknown bulls. Unbeknown to Sky Strider, however, this vision represents the true circumstances of Rock's departure from Thunder's herd and that the elephants featured in the flash back were his former herd-brothers thus foreshadowing Rock's deception.
Shifting Shadows[]
During their journey, Rock and Sky encounter Thunder's Herd. Boulder, Sky's brother is revealed to also be a member of this herd and Sky goes to greet him while Rock hides somewhere nearby. However, the rest of the bulls spot him and greet him with hostility. When Sky asks Boulder why he and the other bulls are angry with him, he reveals that Rock didn't leave their herd willingly but was rather kicked out as punishment for Killing a female elephant named River Marcher seasons before he meet Sky. Sky is baffled because the Marchers informed the Striders that River's death was an accident. When Sky asks Rock if it was true that he killed River, he confirms this but explains that he only did so because he had the Rage and couldn't control himself. Sky, however. was still shocked and disappointment of Rock's actions and breaks up with him while Rock reluctantly leaves after Thunder's Herd drives him out a second time. Later on, the bull elephants fight Titanpride and enter the Rage in the process, causing Sky, Nimble, and Lively to leave.
