Griffon (concept)
The noble Griffon has been associated with Chevalie for centuries, with domestic breeds commonly kept by the Anti-Magic Orders and a few well to do nobles. Wild breeds are still quite common in the Bastione Mountains, and prove a challenging prey for even experienced hunters.
We left our mounts a good distance away, safely under the guard of some of my companions both to protect them from mortal thieves as well as the threat of the airborne hunter which we seek. As we approach the lair of the Griffon we made sure to spread out, keeping one another within our sight and warilt looking up to the skies in case of ambush. The last thing we want is for the beast to strike us unawares and shred us into pieces before we knew what happened. My heart beats faster and my face is set with grim determination, eyes darting from point to point. After what feels like an eternity we finally mount the summit, finding the nest of the beast, but seeing no trace of it. We stand, unsure of how to process until we are shaken by a piercing cry from above our heads. Wheeling around, we see the great creature diving towards us with death in it eyes. The climax of the hunt approaches.
