Roleplaying

Prissila looped around the mountain tops a few times before going into a steep dive towards the ground. she pulled up at the last minute and continued to test her acrobatics in the air. After several minutes fooling around she saw a human walking up the mountain path. Prissila jolted to a stop and flew back to her cave, hoping she wasn't seen. She arrived at her cave a few minuted later. She beat her wings foreward to slow her decent and land on the ledge of her cave with a soft thump. Her talons clicked on the stone floor as she walked into her cave towards the music treasure cave.

Ceretus eyes opened and he sighed. He got up stiff legged and stretched. He then jumped out and listened to his talons click and scrap against the floor of his home cave. He then opened up his black wings and flaped a couple of times before heading to the entrance of the cave. About this time it would be sunny and bright and from his spot he could watch anything from up high to down below. He leaped effortlessly into the Main Hall then to the etrance. His claws curled over the lip and he looked down. The cool air seemed to invite him into the air.

Prissila turned into her human form so she could play her instruments she collected. She picked up a song book with celtic songs in it and began playing some on a silver harp. After about a half hour she put down the harp and song book and went to the entrance to her cave and transformed back into a gryphon. Once Prissila scaned the area for any danger she dived off the edge and flew upwards. When she was high enough to break out of the lower clouds, she turned mid-air and went into a killing spiral. She sped past another gryphon cave on her way towards the ground. She pulled out of her dive and pluckked off the ground a un-suspecting goat, who bleated in terror. With a swift and lethal peck at the base of its skull, it's bleating stopped abruptly. Prissila flew back to her cave with her prey.

Ceretus happened to be laying flate on the cave entrance ground as the other Gryphon dived past. She watched for a second before pushing himself up and crawled over the edge. His wings stayed half open half shut and when he got close to the ground he spread them wide open at the last second. He glided over the ground before flaping so slow himself down then he started running across the ground tucking his wings to his sides as he did so. With a small little sqwauck he ran through the forest ddging trees here and there. Soon the silver shine of a lake rose up to greet him.

After eating her fill of the goat, Prissila picked up the remains and put them in a bag. She went to the cave entrance and leaped off, she flew towards the lake with the bag in her talons. Prissila stopped flaping her wings and glided as she neared the lake. When she got there, she beat her wings foreward to slow her decent. Prissila dug a hole near a patch of grass and flowers that were near the water. She opened the bag and put the remains in the hole. After covering the hole back up she said an ancient saying for the goat's life. Prissila then walked towards the river and lied down near it and fell asleep.

Ceretus wadded into the cool water of the lake but stayed carefull from getting his wings wet. He stoped and looked around before falling frozen and stared at the water with a cold glare. He did not move and the only sounded was the small waves lapping at his underbelly and on the shore.

Soon his ston gray eyes cought the flash of smooth silver and he got ready. The silver body of the fish drew closer. He then flashed his had forward and cought the large fish in it then he leaped out of the water flaping his wings with the fish in his claws.

Prissila flicked her black leopard tail in sleep. She dreamed of her parents, siblings, and her flying through the sky.Prissila flew towards the lake in the dream and skimed her talons along the water. The fish jumped out of the water as she flew. When Prissila flew back to her family, she didn't see them anywhere. She looked everywhere for them and when she did find them, all she found was several scattered feathers and the bodys of her siblings. Prissila screeched and sobbed.

Prissila woke up with a screech and jolted into a sitting position. She breathed deep breaths and then began to cry.

Ceretus heared the screech and some part in his mind was curious but the rest was to fly quickly away. He let out a small coo to himself and flaped his wings harder, faster, and stronger. He clutched the fish tightly in his talons. One so it would fall out of his hands and two because he was quiet woundering what made that screech.

Soon Ceretus landed in his cave with a quiet thump and the clicking of talons. He threw the now dead fish a few feet from himself and shook like a dog. He then started to groom the matting feathery fur on his underbelly. After he had finished grooming himself he picked up his fish and teared into it. In a few short moments the fish was gone and he lay down to rest.

In the entrance of her cave, Silver heard a screech. The echoing mountains, however, hid where it had come from. Are there other gryphons nearby? she wondered. She hoped they were friendly - not the sort of gryphons that were very territorial or human-friendly or anything. Maybe, she thought, I should find them, and become their friend. But on the other hand, they could be mean, monsterous gryphons.

After thinking about it, Silver decided to leave any other gryphons. Realising she was hungry, she hopped out of her cave onto a small ledge, covered her cave and flew over the forest searching for a place where prey might hide.

Ceretus opened his stone cold eyes. Human muttering could be heared close to the mouth of his cave. "Egg hunters..." he whispered to himself. he got up and quickly ran to the back of his home cave. When he entered the sleeping chambers he leaped onto a ledge hight up then onto another one then he sliped into a dark hole  and layed there.

Voices echoed in his cave peeked in around stuff then the voices faded. He leaped down again and stalked through his home home...werily. They were gone. "They are lucky I didnt tear them limb from limb! They have no right to be here!" He snaped to the walls of his cave.

From her position in the sky, Silver saw a lake - lakes meant fish, and fish meant food. She dived towards a bank, landed and waited.

The seccond she saw a fish, she leapt accurately at it, not bothering to stay dry, and grasped it between her claws. She killed it and flapped loudly back to shore, where the fish was eaten. Silver decided this place woud be good to rest and dry off. She walked off gathering some temporary nest material.

Silver was walking around the lake, when she reached the river that fed it. Not far along this river was another gryphon. Silver jumped back before realising that the other grypon hadn't seen her - yet. Silver snuck back into the trees whre she could watch the gryphon, run if she had to, and wait to dry off.

Prissila cried for several minutes after waking up from the dream, and when she stopped she walked to the lake edge. She looked down into the water and saw two strange fish. The were circling each other, but the strange part was that they were koi fish, and they were black and white. Prissila watched the fish continue circle each other over and over. After watching them for a few minutes she thought she heard a noise come from the lake and looked around.

 Prissila got up and walked around the lake edge, looking for what made the sound. She called, "Is anyone there?"

What should I do? thought Silver. Be friendly or run? She decided to take a chance with the gryphon, and be nice.

Silver walked out from behind her tree and said "I'm here! Please don't attack me! My name is Silver!" She walked out at the snowyy gryphon, feeling really nervous - what if the other gryphon was vicious, or friends with evil humans who would do anything to get their hands on her silver feathers? Silver was also nervous becase she was smaller than most gryphons, but knew that if she had to, she could fight. Her claws were sharp enough - but she would rather not have to.

Prissila breathed a sigh of relief. She was happy that it wasn't any evil humans. Prissila walked over to the silver gryphon to say hi.

"Hi, I'm Prissila, you said your name is Silver?" She thought the other gryphon would like to know her name too. The other gryphon's name seemed to fit, because of her feathers. Prissila looked at Silver and said, "Why did you think I would hurt you? And why were you hiding anyway?" She asked.

Then Prissila relised that Silver was fairly small compared to her, and seemed very nervous. Prissila sat down and curled her tail around her talons to show she was no threat.

Slver was relived this gryphon was friendly. "Yeah, my name is Silver. And, well, it's just that, well, I've never seen many gryphons, I'm not from around here. And I was hiding, well, because my wings weren't dry and there wasn't anything else to do, really."

As she said it, she saw the other gryphon, Prissila, was trying to be nice,and was even making herself look less threating.Silver tried to copy what Prissila was doing, to try to be more friendly, so she also sat down and covered her talons and claws with her tail. Silver also noticed that the other gryhon looked younger- but Prissila was larger than her. Silver decided it must be because thay came from different places.

(Humans)A small town in the mountains called Oriole (o-rio-le) which is filled with several trees, plants and a few parks. The general store(where the humans buy food and heath supplies) is a small light brown building and the owner is named Ava. The person who knows the most about gryphons and sees them more often then others, is a lady named Altaira. Her house is dark blue with a black top and its near the gate to the mountains. There's also a blacksmith by the name of Harley. His forge and house is close to where Altaira lives. The gates to the mountains are black and white with twin gryphon staues on the top and only certain people are allowed through.

(Gryphons) The gryphons live in caves on the mountain but they keep the entrance well hidden from humans. The gryphons travel to a lake in a mountain valley which they call the Lunar Lake, three times a year to talk to each other, share news, or warnings. The caves where the gryphons live normaly have two rooms with a long tunnel. one for treasure and one for sleeping.

You are a gryphon who lives in the mountains and it can change into a human to hide it self if it goes  into the town. Or you are human who came to the mountains because you heard of several legends and rumors of gryphons who live in the area.

Since humans first settled in the town of Oriole, gryphons have flown down from the mountains to the town to see the young people who could be gryphon riders. A gryphon rider had to have a certain personality or skill that the gryphon likes. Because the gryphons could transform into humans, A gryphon would study its potential rider. When a gryphon chooses a rider, they would go to the elder so the rider would have some training. At the end of a grphon riders training they would have a ceramony to where they would call their gryphon. To summon the gryphon, they had to use music.

However when gryphons started being hunted for they treasure,  feathers, and talons, they pulled away from the town to hide. And since then, the people of Oriole have only caught glimpses of feathers and large shapes in the fog. Other people in the town have said that they went extinct.
