Together, they begin to search for the famed Ga'hoole tree and its legendary warriors. In The Journey they find their way through various territories including an artic area inhabited by Puffins who give them directions to get to Ga'hoole, where they settle in and begin learning owl crafts. In The Rescue, one of their favorite teachers, Ezylryb, is missing, and they begin to investigate to where he could be. A menacing villain, named Metal Beak, emerges as the likely suspect in Ezylryb's disappearance, and they set off in search of him. The climactic battle scene is thrilling.
