“Greetings, young one,” she said, her voice a low rasp, “It seems you are searching for sanctuary...and you have found it.”

Ebonypaw's ears were alert, and his nose twitched anxiously. All he could smell were trees. And then he heard a voice. "Sanctuary?" the young tom repeated. "No, I live with RiverClan. I'm training to be a warrior." His fluffy chest puffed with pride. "I'm Ebonypaw," he continued. "What's your name? Why am I here?"
