Ebonypaw walked behind the tom that escorted them to the "Summoner" cat.

"So what's your name?" Russetwind questioned, a purr rising slowly in his throat. The tom looked at him, his brown eyes locked on Russetwind's Amber eyes.

"Jamison, or James." The blue-gray feline turned his head and kept walking, flicking his tail for them to follow. Russetwind trailed behind, staring at the feline two cats ahead of him.

Ebonypaw helped as a brown head hit her side and knocked her over, she and the attacker rolled over each other till they hit a wall. She groaned and opened her eyes, and looked at the brown tom. He had two black claw-shaped marks under his eyes and lighter brown stripes on his body.

He opened his eyes, revealing two green orbs, both telling a story instantly. Ebonypaw leapt up, Jamison, Shadowhunter, and Russetwind were staring at the two stunned cats.

"Who are you?" Ebonypaw breathed out, poking the tom with a claw tip, he jumped up before her claw touched him and stared at her for a second.

"R-Rhinestone." He gasped out, looking at her black figure, he gulped before bowing his head.

"Rhinestone, eh? Well get away from her," Shadowhunter growled, stepping in front of the two apprentice aged cats.

"How old are you, then, Rhinestone?" Ebonypaw asked, pushing past Shadowhunter.

"Thirteen moons,"

"StarClan, I'm twelve!"

The two felines bonded for a minute before Jamison yelled for Ebonypaw and Shadowhunter to return.

Ebonypaw looked in front of Jamison, a large black tom, with eyes red like a setting sun, stared at her. She held a gasp and walked back to Jamison, Jamison pulled her in front of him, so she stood nose to nose with the Summoner.

"This, is Doe's Tree?" He questioned, "she's younger than I thought."

"Not Doe's Tree, Phantom, her name's Ebonypaw, but she might have a connection with Doe's Tree."

Phantom eyed Ebonypaw, "Do you know her?"

"I-I've heard a-almost all the stories a-about her." Ebonypaw stuttered, Phantom's red gaze seemingly staring at her soul.

"You stay with us, we have a journey and Card said... What'd you say?"

A white tom with black square-like patterns stepped out of the shadows. "A Doe's Tree can lead us to victory."

Phantom scoffed, then looked from Card to Ebonypaw.

"You will lead us to victory, Ebonypaw. You bunk with Rhinestone." The shadowy tom stood up and padded away, his tail flicking, a yellow she-cat stepped out of the shadows - her tail high - following Phantom.

Ebonypaw ran over to Rhinestone, "let's get to know eachother."

Rhinestone nodded frantically and showed her to his box, "Let's start with..."
