[Gryffen]

The mountains are a happy refuge for him. Miserable for the other he keeps here against her will, but brilliant for himself. It’s summer but the wind whips through the dead branches and hits your body with an icy punch. Fall is right around the corner, it whispers in the night and his body becomes more agitated, the demon becomes more restless. He is watching over her, standing on the ridge of one of his dark mountains. A white speck in a world of shadow. The clouds are thick today with the threat of rain and he waits patently for the storm. To see if Minette will try to flee today. The ravens in the trees begin to caw and chatter to each other, their talons gripping the branches intensely. Waiting to brace the storm or venture out in it if needed. Two of them start to form a more obnoxious call, like screaming. His ears flatten at the noise and he glowers at them through bloody iris’s. He can’t understand them the way Straia does, he doesn’t have that gift. The one raven that she had gifted him with, the one he can call his own, is quiet as it sits on his back. It usually is unless he asks something of it. Still reluctant to give such a gift back, he won’t mention it till the Queen calls back her flock and he has no choice but to relinquish it. The ravens screams intensify and he sighs softly, knowing he needs to check out the commotion. With a thought the raven on his back lifts off and flies towards the gray mare, landing on her back and wrapping it’s talons in her mane much like he does with his teeth. A reminder that he is still watching. Flinty hooves strike against the rocks as he makes his way towards the ravens, ears swiveling forward as he catches a call amongst the cawing. Oh. Now he understands. A smirk slides across his lips as she comes into focus, mumbling to herself and looking as uncertain as she always does. ”Aoki.” He greets her roughly, eyes narrowed in disapproval. ”I don’t believe I told you that you could leave the Chamber.” She was no longer just his, having given her to the kingdom as the gift. However he was still the one pulling the strings so he isn’t completely pissed that she has sought him out. Knowing that she was still desperate for him. G R Y F F E N *********the big bad wolf
