Conor's POV-
Conor and the others are at the bottom of a huge hill. Along with Greencloaks, Redcloaks, and warriors. They had packed green,red,gold tents,it has the smell of roasted food,well-made iron, flags of the Great Beasts and Legendary Beasts.
Like the Euran Marked Warriors,they had returned soonly after finding Tasha, the summoner of Ninani the Swan,Anqui, the summoner of Suka the Polar Bear, Cordalles,summoner of Halawir the Eagle, Dawson, summoner of Rumfuss the Boar, Marco, summoner of Hasna the Golden Eagle, Peter, the summoner of Baihu the Wolf, Samson,the summoner of Boto the Boar, Elsa, the summoner of Elska the Moon Bear, and Estrella,the summoner of Mithra the Ferruginous Hawk.
But then a flash of strength went into the air and a great roar echoed across the sky.
'The calling of the Leader Keeper of all the High Keepers of Erdas and the Leader of the Legendary Beasts.' thought Conor
Conor and the others seemed to have a silent agreement. They climbed carefully up the crater. The air was colder here,Conor wrapped his cloak more tightly around his shoulder. The trees began to dwindle until they disappeared altogether, leaving nothing but low shrubs, yellow grasses, and bare rocks along the path. As they climbed higher,Conor could see the huge campsight, and the land bridge winding back toward Stetriol like a slender snake through the ocean.
The sky behind them looked blue and resuaring. Clouds streaked across the sky above the hill. The clouds looked friendly and encouraging.
As they crested the top of the crater,Conor realized that it was the remnants of what must have been the most massive volcano that ever existed. His jaw dropped at the sight. Once upon a time,this volcano would have been a formidable sight, raining lava and Ash on its surroundings before collapsing in on itself in a spectacular display. Now, high from his new vantage point on top of the volcano's edge,Conor looked down on the inside of the ancient, collapsed crater and saw a huge expanse of lush green land.
The clouds overhead had turned even brighter, and lightning streaked at the edges of the crater. Conor's eyes shifted to a single tree standing tall in the center of the crater. He knew immediately what he was looking at. His eyes widened.
"The Evertree." His voice came out a hoarse whisper
It shimmered under the bright sky, glowing as within,a rainbow of silver and gold. Its branches reached up to the skies in an enormous canopy of shimmering leaves. Its twisting silver trunk was at least a dozen times as wide as Tellun's antlers. Pure white fruit hung from the Evertree's branches. Conor could hardly breathe as he took in the sight.
The origin of all life.
When he and the others closed in on the great tree,he was scruprise to see a girl and a huge female mountain lion.
The girl has sky-blue eyes, with eyes as unfathomable as the sunlit sky and ocean, light-skinned, long and wavy golden hair,she wore legendary cracked bronze breastplate, studded bronze mitts,studded bronze pants,scaled bronze gaiters,on her back is a legendary Euran bow and on her belt is a legendary longsword. On her head, is a tiara made of a flowered pink, purple,gold, and silver Stetriolian tiara. On her back,is a golden cloak and on her neck is a golden tralisman with a carving of a mountain lion and a thin iron-gold chain. 
While her wildcat is regal and magnificent, the wildcat has bright golden eyes,a tawny golden coat with brown patches on her her nose,tail,paws, and ears. And white chestfur.
The girl looked around thirteen years old or older.
"Atalanta and her partner, Morgin, the Leader Keeper of all the High Keepers of Erdas."whispered Conor
