The gargantuan cavern you enter has an open top, so the firelizards and gryphons may leave if they wish, but they always return. There are literally thousands of rocks outcropping on the walls for perches, and a nice breeze blows constantly. Firelizards flit from rock to rock or sleep calmly in the sand dunes that make up the floor. Gryphons wing their graceful way across the open cavern. You must be careful of nests and sleeping dragonets as you walk through the sands. As you can see, there are even a few nests full of eggs, watched carfully by queen golds or their bronze mates. Your hear calls all around you and are amazed at the number of winged beasts that circle above you an virtually paper the jagged rock walls of the huge cavern.

"Hello," says a Gargoyle perched directly above your head. He continues, "My name is Orphion Finimys, or at least that is what you may call me....my true name cannot be pronounced by a human, or a dragon, tongue. Any questions or problems are dealt with by me, and me only." He seems rather proud of this odd fact. "This is my mate, Ophelia. We just met only a week ago."They nuzzle affectiontely, and proceed to motion you out into the waiting, noisy, and bustling cavern. |  |

This is Quinn, a teal male firelizard from Chewie's Adoptions. He is very strong for such a little guy, then again, gis is a little larger than some of the others. He spands most of the day sunning himself around the top of the cavern and visiting the wild firelizards that inhabit the woods arond New Beginnings. |

| Here are the first Gryphons to inhabit the Aviary: Azriel, an orange male who took his name from mine (How Nice!), and his gold mate, Ambalis. They were accepted into the firelizard comunity we had here very easily! No taunts or anything from the usually mischievous firelizards! We wish them good luck in their new home, for they are true pioneers! |  |
| This sturdy bronze fellow is Toren. He may be little, but he sure is loud. His call can be heard throughout the entire cavern. That is why he is the cavern Runner. It is his job to attend meetings with the Curator. He flies back and forth between the meeting and the cave, delivering news of what is going on. He is very fast and not easy to catch if ever you try! Toren was adopted at: Adopt-An-Firelizard |

Sabacc here is a green female firelizard. She is very pretty when she is't pregnant. She was pregnant when I adopted her as an abandoned dragonet. She looked so sad, I had to do something. So, I brought her here to New Beginnings, where she has made many new friends and will soon return to her birth place to have her clutch! Sabacc was adopted at: The Beach |

| Watch Out! You almost stepped on the Watch Wheyrs! They are very small and always underfoot, so don't beat yourself up aboutit...but do please be careful - especially around these guys. They may look playful with their little toys, but they have quick tempers, too! The gold is Sileseth, and the bronze, her mate, is Indrith. They lonely blue is Alarenth - he keeps to himself most of the time because his status is too low to easily make friends or find a mate. Poor dude! |  |

| Here we have another green firelizard. She is pretty large, especially for a green, which are normally the smallest. She is from the same clutch as my mated pair in the Flit Clan Cave at the other end of the cavern. Her name is Tarrath, which she knew when she was born. Most firelizards know their names at birth, but some wait for their owner to give them one. She is the most magickal of te firelizards, being ranked as a class 3 mage and in training to bacome the first fire-lizard-wizard! Tarrath was impressed at Spooth's Weyr |

HHEEEEEYYYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!
The loud screech comes from above just as a bright red Gryphon swwops in centimeters above your head, sharp beek open! It makes a sharp turn infront of you and almost rams you before stopping dead in front of you and staring into your eyes! "OH! OH NO!," It says in a scratchy voice. "I'm SO SO Sorry! I thought you were someone I knew before! SO Sorry - really! I'm Kaynore, the Red Gryphon prtector of the griffs in this cave system! Sometime, well...I get a LITTLE over-protective! I'm really VERY sorry!" He continues to apologize and then flies hurriedly away, leaving you completely bewildered as to what just went on!

Enter this smaller cavern to your left to see a whole clan of Flits and their nest full of growing hatchlings. Once all the eggs have hatched you can e-mail me and I will just give you one! After all, I can't possibly keep then all!
A reagal Silver Gryphon strolls by you across the hot sands, holding her head high, like she is the Lady of the manor. She surveys you and the stony keep around hr like she rules all. He silver scales and fur glow faintly in the direct sunlight from above. You watch her as she takes off - pre grace in motion. She flies up to meet midair with Kaynore and they discuss something in clipped, racketty Gryphon. Then she continues up ward and out of sight through the hole in the cieling. Firelizards and Gryphons alike part for her as she moves by. This would be Silvara, one of the most respected Gryphons in the whole cavern. If you don't pay attention when she is near, you are risking quite a lot!
 Here is the regal Silvara as a clumbsy little Hathcling. This is a picture she'd rather not let those that respect her see - she was a very awckward youth! |
