After looking the signpost over, you decide to stop by Ferocitas's home. The trail leads into the forested area to your right, and that's where you head.
After a relatively short walk, you come to a small glade. And, up above your head, you see a dark shape circling in the sky. It spirals downward, and soon reveals itself to be a gryphon.
The brown gryphon touches down several yards away from you, and folds her wings delicately into her sides. Waving her plumed tail, she trots quickly over to you and sniffs your shoulder gingerly.
"Who're you?" she asks, cocking her head with curiosity.
"A traveler," you reply. "I'm adventuring through this realm and I thought it'd be fun to meet you."
"You've got a point there!" the gryphon replied, eyes twinkling. "I'm Ferocitas, but you can call me Roci. I'm a gryphon, adopted from Skyhaven Keep, along with Aerkum." She winks when she says Aerkum's name, grinning.
"So...do you enjoy it here?" you ask.
"Very much!" Ferocitas replies. "There are all the younguns, the cutest things in the world. They're like my children, until I have some of my own, that is." Grinning again, she nods in the direction of her stomach. "We're expecting in a few months, Aerkum and I."
"How wonderful!" you say, smiling back. "Is this your nest site?"
"That's what I've been thinking," she says, looking over the area with an appraising eye. "I was checking out a few others, but this one's nice and secluded...no one to bother us here!"
You nod in agreement.
"Well, you'd best get going while I discuss this location with Aerkum. He's probably playing on that old guitar of his again. Quite good, really, if you ever want to stop by and listen."
You say you will, wish Ferocitas luck with her clutch, and return to the signpost with thoughts of little fuzzy baby gryphons in your head. ^_^ Fuzzy babies!
