Prologue
" Mummy?" Lila, the adorable little Short-Eared, said to Ruby. "How did you get to the Great Tree?" Ruby look at the fledgling. She was not actually her daughter per say. Ruby had adopted her. Lila had been caught in a situation all too many chicks faced. Her parents had gone out to hunt and never came back. Luckily the guardians found her and brought her to the tree. Ruby loved the little one from the moment she saw her, and so she gave the girl a home.
"Not many owls ask that question dearest."
"I know. That's why I asked you. No one else seems to know."
"Well… I suppose I'll tell you. You will be the first person at this tree to know…"
a/n: Like i said, this is only a prologue, so yes, it's short. Tell me what you think!
