Gryphonai Hidden
It seems rather warm in the area you approach, as if some type of heating system was about. You can make out a faint glow in the distance. A fire, perhaps? Yes, a fire!
You stare at the fire, a bit bewildered at first, as no one seems to be about. However, you notice that around the fire you can make out some rather normal supplies. You see some tools, perhaps for digging; some kind of food supplies, lots of meat; and it appears that there might be more hidden underneat a small blanket.
You reach out and begin to pull the blanket away, slowly. So slowly as to suggest that you were...afriad? No, guilty! You almost stop, but continue as a small white object meets your eyes...
An egg! You reach out for it, when suddenly you are spun around by an arm that appears to come out of nowhere. You gasp in shock as a young girl starts at you, rather displeased at your sudden appearance.
"Just what do you think you were doing?" the girl demands rather blandly.
As you look over her, you find she looks plain, yet beautiful. Her hair is a long black color with eyes that match. Her ears are pointed, so you realize that she simply must be an elf. You stare at her so long that you forgot why you were being yelled at.
"I said, just what did you think you were doing?!" the girl now screams as loudly as she can.
You appoligize and introduce yourself as a wanderor. She sneers and nods. You continue to tell her you were just looking around, and that you thought the camp was abandoned.
"An abandoned fire? Where do you think you are?" she sighs. "The gryphons would never leave a fire unattended." She pauses and nods. "Sorry, wanderor, I do not mean to be rude, but I am a bit upset that you were so close to the egg. I had a nightmare last night..."
"Nightmare?" you ask.
"Yes, a nightmare. You see, there was a grand, golden egg in the middle of a blue-green field. The egg faded to white, and then the green faded to blue. The blue field turned to an ocean, and swallowed the egg up."
You gulp, a bit unsure what to say.
"You see, wanderor," the girl continues, "I am Gya, one of the few left from my clan. We have been known to have dreams of the future, and I was worried that this was one of them. That is why I am here, with the gryphons, trying to find a home for this egg."
"What is in it?" You ask, glancing back toward it.
The girl laughs. "Why, an Imp Dragon!"
"Imp dragon...?" you ask, allowing your voice to trail as you stare at the egg in wonder.
"Yes, bond. Such as...well, that means that I would live with the dragon, and the dragon would live with me and be apart of me as much I of the dragon. That is, until one of us dies."
You nod your head, pretending you understand. "Sorry, I have to go, nice meeting you!"
