There sat Hooten, a little owl who was trembling despite his thick, warm feathers. Oliver realized the poor owl was staring at the growing shadows with very wide, worried eyes.
Image Prompt: A peaceful garden at sunset. Oliver, a cheerful kid with pale skin and blonde hair, looks up at a tree branch where Hooten, a small, fluffy owl with large yellow eyes and soft brown and white speckled feathers, sits looking nervous and shaking slightly. The sky is orange and purple.

Hooten explained in a small voice that he had lost his special glowing moonstone. Without its soft, comforting light, the night shadows looked like giant, grumpy monsters to him. Oliver smiled warmly and promised to help his new feathered friend find the stone before the stars filled the sky. They decided to start their quest by the flower beds.

They walked toward the tall, whispering grass that tickled Oliver's knees. Oliver used his bright flashlight to peek under the emerald leaves while Hooten watched carefully from a low wooden post.

Suddenly, Oliver spotted a glimmering blue light tucked deep inside a prickly, dark bush.
