Roleplaying

After her ealisation of who the human really was, Silver stood there, waiting for the transformed gryphon to say somthing. She let her thoughts start to wander, about what humans did in their spare time. It wasn't until she remembered that some hunted for leisure that she ralised somthing.

"We didn't close the gate, did we?" she said to the other gryphons. She knew they had to get back and do it soon, or some hostile person was sure to get in. She felt it in her feathers . . . but then realised humans don't have feathers, and wondered what they said instead.

Ceretus mustered a laugh. His odler sounding voice had vanished to that to show his age. "Follow you? Never did...here for trading." He lifted up the rabbits he had. "These people seem to like fish..." he said. He drew back his hood a bit. Bits of his Jet black hair(like his wings) was now visable and oyu could just make out the silver highlights. "What I must asked is why are YOU two here?" he blinked his stone gray eyes and looked at the two females. When the one he had heared name is Silver asked about a gate he looked at her quizically. "Gate...? What Gate?" he asked just barily tiping his head to the side.

Silver was surprised when the other gryphon (even though he was in human form) asked about the gate. He lived in the mountains, didn't he? "You know, the entry to the mountains? The gates with the statues on top? That generally keep bad humans away?" Then Silver realised he had said he was trading, and humans liked fish. Silver's mind raced back to why she and Prissila were here - the koi. And koi were fish. Silver was feeling very confused. What should they do? Continue with their current mission, or go back and close the gates? "We really should get someone to close the gates," Silver said worriedly.

Ravios soon arrived at the gates. The gates were already open. But how? He was the only person that every goes to and from the mountains! Perhaps someone just went? Or perhaps the gryphon legends are true? Ravios quietly hoped it was his last thought. Ravios walked through the open gate looking at each statue in admiration as he passed them. Ravios kept his speed slow at first then sped up, if the legends were true, he didn't want to be caught for food up here. Ravios was soon at a small cave, just large enough for a small full grown gryphon.

Ceretus looked now quiet frightened. "Oh those gates...Well then I will just see you two later..."with that he turned quickly to leave the town.

When he was a good distance away his body shimmered and he transformed back into his Gryphon form. He spread his wings and leaped into the air back towards the gates. He had never visited the gates before nor did he actually know what they were. He came the long way to these moutains and barly knew anything about them. He jsut heared ledgends from the town. He flaped his wings a bit faster. He scanned the area. Soon the large gates appeared and he stoped and hovered seeing the one spec he hoped not to see. Human.

Watching the other gryphon in human form walk away, Prissila turned he head to face Silver. "We better go to Altaira's house, come on." She said with a hint of worry.

Prissila and Silver walked to a dark blue house that was near the mountain gates. Prissila sighed deeply. It was a long time since the first time she saw Altaira, and that was when Prissila was in gryphon form. "Silver, this is Altaira's house. She knows more about the legends and myths then anyone else in the whole town. She is also one of the few humans I know that gryphons can trust. Are you ready to meet her?" Prissila told Silver.

Silver decided she should check the gates too. "that guy didn't seem to know much about the gates. I'll go follow him. Prissilla, if you can, please stay in town and find out information." With that Silver ran out to where she and Prissila had landed before transforming, shimmered back into a gryphon and flew straight towards the gates.

When she got there the first thing she saw was a speck that could only mean human. The speck was standing in front of a small cave Silver had almost chosen. She was glad she didn't pick it, now. Silver watched the black, white, and grey gryphon eye the human, before Silver decided to test what the speck was doing here. She started by asking the other gryphon to stay out of site for a bit, or close the gates. Then she swooped her shadow around the human, ducked down near some mountainside trees out of sight of the human, and screeched, so that an eerie noise echoed in the mountains.

After Silver left to check on gates like the other male gryphon, Prissila walked up to the door. When she was about to knock on the door she heard a eerie screech from the mountains. Prissila dashed away from the dark blue house and sprinted out of the town and into a small forest to transformed back into a gryphon. She shifted forms quickly and now in gryphon form, Prissila beat her wings furiously to gain speed and headed towards the mountain gates. When she got there she saw that the gates were open and she felt like she should slap her self for forgetting to shut the gates. Prissila saw the other gryphons, the male in the air and Silver was hovering behind a part of the mountain side. She was confused at first but then she saw the human near a cave. She let out a shrill, snowy owl screech and dived down towards the human. she saw the human turn around in surprise and their eyes filled with terror. Prissila pulled out of her dive and wrapped her talons tightly around the human -but not injuring or hurting the human- and flew upward.

Ravios heard the screech from inside the small cave he had entered. He was curious about if it could possibly be a gryphon. He hoped so, but he didn't want to blunder out and seem threatening to the grphyon or whatever creature was out there, so he pondered what to do. What do gryphons like best? It has something to do with humans of old, that I'm certain of... does it start with an m? I think so... m-m-mu-mu-mus-music?!?!? Of course! After thinking he went outside the cave and sat on a rock and began playing his oddly carved wooden flute.

There were a few moments of silence after Silver screeched, and then an intruiging sound reached her ears - she looked at the human who'd exited the abandond cave and saw him breathing into a piece of carved wood. Humans really are weird, thought Silver, but at the same time she felt drawn by the noise of the wood, she felt like walking out in gryphon form and meeting the human. Before Siilver could really do anything, though, Prissilla had dived down and picked up the human in her bare talons. Slver hoped the human hadn't dropped his wood, bofore realising she could finally look at a real human, close up. She flew towards Prissila and the human.

Prissila hovered with the human in her talons for a few moments after flying up several feet in the air. She flew slowly towards Silver with human in her talons. As she got closer she sceeched in the gryphon language so the human wouldn't understand, "What should we do with him?" Prissila said as she looked down at the human, who still had the wood flute in his hand. Prissila still didn't understand the flute, or what it did to her and Silver. When the human had played the flute when Prissila dived at him, she faltered in the air for a moment.

Silver flew excitedly towrds Prissila and the human. Finally, a source of real human information, straight from a real human! She stared at the human, until she realised Prissila had asked a question. She thought for a moment, then squwaked " We should probobly take him to an empty cave, and find out whatever we can from him. He might be able to tell us about the fish, and anything else we want to know - like maybe he knows about the gryphon riders!" silver really wanted to know more about the riders, and who better to ask than someone from the very town of gryphon riders?

(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.
