Jegan saw her cast something, and he thought to warn her, "Be careful, Lady Sayuri. The beast possesses a high tolerance for magic-" He couldn't continue. -because he has a rune carved into his bone. Because of the spell that bound him to Tenarin's oath of secrecy- The Rune Knight's secret. "He suffers a cut on his right brow. We don't know what led to a... sudden behavioral change- maybe a concussion. Let's just hope... that it's current behavior is not unreliable," he replied. It was almost funny, to see the boy standing so far, pull out the measuring tape and start measuring the griffin from afar. Then he went to measure the height and width of a similar bush the griffin was standing next to. After that, he scuttled off with the old man. He was done measuring the tame demon. The griffin had already devoured half the cow. He tore deeper, crushing bones in its beak and ripping mouthfuls of raw flesh as if he had not been fed for a week. OOC [rats, we need a few more posts.

"Be careful, Lady Sayuri. The beast possesses a high tolerance for magic-" That pretty much confirmed it... although she couldn't be sure that it was him that made him the griffin. She wanted to doubt it and hold the idea that it wasn't true... but... it was starting click in really weird ways and something inside of herself was telling her that she was close enough to be right to think so. She let that be a mental note for herself as she listened to the next words that came from Jegan. "He suffers a cut on his right brow. We don't know what led to a... sudden behavioral change- maybe a concussion. Let's just hope... that it's current behavior is not unreliable," he replied. Sayuri looked at the griffin momentarily and bit back what she was going to ask but decided against it. "I think he may have memory loss," she said softly, watching the griffin continue to eat... er... devour. |

How many days had it been? Three? Four? He couldn't be sure. He was remembering. Slowly. Thirty years ago, Fourty years ago. Even the day of his birth, foggy as it was. He remembered too, how fundamentally stupid his animalistic side was- he had crooned to the mage when she stroked his feathers and sunk her hands in them, even chirped in joy when she fed him the tiniest morsels. And it was strange, how her weight, light as she was, felt intensely familiar. As his memories returned, he had erected a great wall to hide his thoughts. There was only one whom he would allow... he couldn't recall who, but he would feel guilty if he allowed the human girl to share the privelege. Shifting his head over his scaly, folded arms, he blinked one golden eye at the star filled sky. His name was Shura. Who gave him that name? His heart ached to know, but he would be patient, for all the answers he had waited for were always answered in time. The human girl called him 'love'. He shivered as a pleasant wave ran down his spine. A mild embarassment made him hide his head under an arm, ruffling his feathered crown in the process. A sigh blew through his small nostrils as he returned his gaze to the sky. Sayuri. He remembered, of course. The mage. One whom he'd been a little rude with. If only she knew who he was. 'Love'- he would never hear her say it again. The other two armoured humans had separated ways with them. The one woman who was distrustful of him- Resee. And the man- Jegan. His friends. Yet he couldn't face them. None of them knew that he was beginning to remember. Past and present melding, two coming into one. He turned his head, looking at the inn, at one window that was still bright with candle light. Sayuri. The human who called him 'love'. His age old nature would drive him to tell her the truth soon. He knew he should reveal himself to her very soon. |

Sayuri noticed something during the next few days. It was as if the griffin, whom she had named "Love", had become quiet. It was as if his mind had quieted or built up a wall that she couldn't go through. She wondered mildly if he was remembering something that it didn't want her to remember. She shrugged it off, thinking that it was all right that it was starting to become aware of what was going on around himself. They had been traveling for awhile and Sayuri felt as if the gloom of Keira wouldn't go away. It had been lingering there in the silence for awhile, whilst Jegan was trying to cheer Resee up. She still felt a small amount of guilt over Keira's death, but remembered her words that she had said to her. She wondered for a moment where Shura could be and automatically felt bad. She wasn't taking care of Shura at all... he had gone missing ever since he had been taken away from Keira. She didn't know where Shura was at all and felt guilty of the fact that Sayuri had not been honoring Keira's wish. She sighed. Thinking on it now, she noticed that Resee and Jegan had seemed to have gone back. She wondered for a moment why. Why had they left her with just Love? She sighed as the white dwarf rabbit in her small bag pocket was asleep and Eve was flying far away from the griffin, in case Love should decide to eat her. She stroked Love's feathers as she fell deep into thought. She couldn't leave Love alone so she decided to stop for the night, seeing as they had traveled far enough that Sayuri felt that they should wait for Jegan and Resee to come back. Gently, she jumped off the griffin's saddle and walked him over by a bunch of trees where he would be completely hidden. She was surprised that the trees were able to hide him. "Stay here." Then she scurried inside to reserve a room for later by the window where she could see the woods from it. Inside the room, she walked over to the window and opened it to see Love where she was in. Since the light was off, she was able to see him clearly from where she sat perched on the window. Eve fluttered over and went inside the room and found the edge of the bed, ruffled her feathers and then fell asleep. Sayuri only smiled as her candle light flickered on but closed the window, feeling the chill of the night. She yawned as she prepared herself to sleep, after pouring herself over the texts she was reading, to hopefully try to hide the information she had learned about the griffin's birth. She yawned again, realizing that it was late. She wondered for a moment what was going to happen in the next morning and what had caused for Resee and Jegan to leave so soon and early in their trip. She shrugged it off and blew out the candle's fire and let her eyes adjust to the darkness with the slight light of the moonlight peering in. It had been about a few hours already and most would have already fallen asleep. Sighing, she got up and walked to the window and opened it again. She sat at the window to look up at the stars... |

He shifted restlessly, watching her from the forest with a hidden yearning. He should reveal himself to her soon. But when is soon? There were more humans in the area here. He couldn't remain a griffin and avoid detection. Not unless he flew off to somewhere more secluded. Leaving the mage was the last thing he'd want to do. The cold night wind filtered through his feathers in soothing flows. The golden flecks in them shimmered. He turned his head to pick at the saddle, unclasping the nearest buckle, then the other before rising to his feet to shake it loose. Tonight would be th best time. He shifted, bones cracking, feathers shrinking into the pores of his skin. The saddle slid off and dropped to the ground with a heavy thud. When he was done, he searched for the clothes Jegan had packed for him. He left his top bare, clutching onto the shirt in one hand as he left the cover of the forest. It was a moonless night, but the stars that dot the dark skies were bright as diamonds. His skin shone pale under the dim light. He approached, the inn quietly, stepping into the clearing behind it without haste, ensuring that no one was around to witness. Most of the windows were already shut, with curtains draw. Only one was open and his sharp vision could see her looking out. With great effort, he forced his shoulder blades to shift, sprouting extensive wings too large for his form. With an agile leap, he shot vertically up, flared his wings and landed on her window sill, crouched to fit himself through. The wings slid jerkily into his skin to form his scarred back. As he passed, he flashed her a michievous smile and planted a brief kiss on her cheek. He staggered into her room, turning around to face her with a wistful expression, all playfulness gone, waiting for her judgement. Edited by Seiss, Aug 4 2009, 06:02 AM.

As she watched the stars, she wasn't aware of what was going on below. Thinking that Love had fallen asleep, she herself was about to doze off after she had named several of the stars to herself. Seeing as it was a silent night, she had decided to cast a spell on her ears in case something or someone should come to the inn, namely, Jegan and Resee. When she heard something crack, and then a heavy thud, she mildly thought that it was nothing, and continued to look up at the stars and naming them in her head; occasionally, saying them aloud in a soft voice. Then, what she wasn't expecting was the sudden appearance of him as he shot up and flared... his wings, to land on the windowsill. She bolted upright to stand up, realizing that those wings were the griffin's. Then she watched as the large wings of Love's disappear into Shura's back. After that, he kissed her on the cheek, causing her to blush a very vivid cherry red as she stumbled back and fell. Then the expression on his face told her he was awaiting something from her. She covered herself quickly, realizing she was only wearing a silk nightgown she only wore alone. Covering mainly, her chest, she stood up and looked up at the taller male. For a moment, her mind seemed shocked and surprised and yet, what was said on her face said so many questions and emotions that one could not register what she was thinking, even if her thoughts are often echoed on her face. Slowly, she stepped forward, for some reason, now verifying that Shura was indeed the griffin... how embarrassing, she had called him Love... Reaching out with one hand, as if in disbelief, her shaky hand came in contact with his skin on his chest. She could clearly felt the heartbeat underneath her fingers... yet, everything felt so ethereal right now she wasn't sure of what she was seeing. Finally, she looked like she was about to say something as she continued to stare at her hand touching his chest, where she could feel his heartbeat. "Shura...?" she whispered, in a voice so soft that it could barely be heard. She sounded unsure of what she was seeing, wondering if it was lack of sleep from seeing anything actually real and that this was actually a dream. |

Of all things she could wear, she had to have silk. A wan smile curved his lips as he let his darkened gaze to appraise her form. His eyes had a dim shine of transparent gold and his blood warmed. As she rose to her feet, the smooth silk rippled down and was like second skin on her. It clung to her form, her curves. She may as well have not worn anything at all. He almost chuckled when her arms went around to cover her breasts. The candle light highlighted her long maroon tresses, casting amber shadows and traced golden lines. And those eyes dark in contrast to her alabaster skin were so innocent. Her scent... so entrancing, but he knew it was wrong. His instinct knew it was wrong. But still, he was drawn to her. She came so slowly towards him with not the slightest fear. Didn't she know what he was? His eyes slid shut as he savoured her touch, cool against his warm skin. "Shura...?" "Your reaction is a little disappointing," he said quietly, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. His eyes drifted open. He turned and walked to the nightstand to retrieve a robe and returned to drape it over her shoulders, folding the front over her body. He didn't know what to say... where to start. So he simply took a step back, putting a respectable distance between them and waited almost meekly for her questions to come. |

"Your reaction is a little disappointing," he said quietly Sayuri said nothing as she withdrew her fingers, suddenly realizing that this in fact, was not a dream. He had spoken in that voice that she knew that she was clearly wide-awake. Then the robe that he had placed over her shoulders and then moved it so that it covered her chest, she looked down reluctantly to fix herself of the robe. Then she looked up when he had stepped back, as if bracing himself for her questions. She opened her mouth but closed it. Her face showed that she was puzzled as to how and what to ask Shura the right questions. She decided she should start off simple. She looked towards him with soft ruby eyes, and in that gentle voice, "Why?" Her eyes showed that she was asking about him showing his transformation from the griffin to his human self. She walked slowly towards him, again to touch his body and see how he was able to transform into such a magnificent creature so big that those wings had looked too large for him. She walked around to his back, her hands touching over his scars and where she saw the wings had come from as she waited for his answer. |

The muscles under his skin flexed when her cool touch skimmed over them. The mage will be the death of him one day. Her soft entrancing voice asked a question and the emotion in her eyes warmed him . He hadn't been sure what she was asking, so he assumed a question anyone would ask if they saw him. "Why did I kill so many, and ripped their hearts out?" he asked sardonically. "I can't remember... not yet." He shuddered when she touched his scar. Though the pink tissues that grew over the old wound was much more numbed compared to his unharmed skin, it was strangely sensitive to her touch. Electrifying. As her fingertips continue to trace, his breathing hastened just slightly, and a warm, pleasant wave spread through him. His fist tightened his grip over his rumpled shirt, debating if he should pull it on. There was an ache in his heart. He dropped his shirt and slowly reached back for her arms to pull her around. "Now that you know, can you still call me 'love'? Or are you apalled with what I've done?" His eyes bore into hers. Shura needed the truth- to know what he was to her. A monster? |
