You follow Vaprrenon for a bit before she stops short to look to the sky. The change in pace is so drastic that you nearly loose our balance and fall into the ishna creature before you. You frown at the situation and roll your eyes before following your guide's gaze upward. You blink, seeing a flurry of golden fur and pink feathers overhead as a new griffon lands before you and your guide. The thing snorts happily, holding back her head as she struts over to you both, clearly pleased with her grand landing and enterance. The creature shakes its head and snorts when Vaprrenon pets its neck. Vaprrenon looks over to you. "This little show-off is named Coros. She's a bit younger than the boys, but even she can give them a run for their money," she giggles, patting the large beast's head. "She's a pretty girl, huh?" she asked the animal, cooing like a mother. "Fancy pants," she teased when the griffon flapped her large wings just to put on a show. Vaprrenon pushes her lightly in the shouler and shakes her head. Your guide motions for you to follow. "Come on, the nest isn't far off from here," she says with a grin, petting Coros as she starts off. You grin happily at the mentioning of a nest and, probably, more cyberpets to meet and greet, and follow on after them. Coros looks back at you, swishing her tail as she sniffs the air. You trot up forward a bit after the pair. You reach out and, seeing that the pink griffon doesn't seem to mind the motion much, pet Coros' back gently as you all walk along. You smile at feeling her soft feathers. She shakes her head a bit, pulling away as she gallops ahead of you and Vaprrenon toward a cliff wall where some of the rock has been chipped from the bottom to create an overhang. Under the little rocky 'umbrella' you see a large strawlike pile. After looking at the structure for a moment you realise that, obviously, it must be the nest that Vaprrenon had just spoken about not five minutes earlier. Sitting next to the nest is another griffon, and it is watching you almost accusingly. You look up at its fierce-looking face, wondering if you should give it some space before coming closer. |

Vaprrenon glances back at you while Coros goes and greets the new beast, nuzzling her neck against that of the new one. "Don't worry, that's Trenta. It's just her turn to guard the nest is all; she won't harm you." The ishna smiles, taking your hand and tugging you to come up to see the new griffon. Trenta makes a gurgling noise in her throat, watching you as you approach. She paws at the ground some as Coros lays down by her side. Vaprrenon rolls her eyes, snorting back at the cyberpet, as if telling her to calm down. Surprisingly, it seems to work, as Trenta reluctantly lays down next to her adopted sister, though still keeping her eyes on you. You put your hands in your pockets, a bit wary of the navy griffon. You see a small flash of movement and color to her side, and glance over to see what on earth it might be. You blink, staring at the griffon nest as you see a new griffon head appear over the edge. You hadn't realised how deep the nest was until now, but it seemed even a full-grown griffon could fit into the thing without being seen until it deemed a guest worthy. Vaprrenon smiles and walks over to you, nudging you in the ribs. "That's my little Meb-heb," she introducdes, glancing to the new griffon a moment before turning back to you. "She's long since an adult, but doesn't seem to like venturing too far from her old nest even now, the silly fluff ball." She puts a hand on your back as she finishes, and pushes you some to urge you forward. You blink as you stumble a few steps forward. You shoot Vaprrenon a look before looking back to Trenta and Meb-heb. Gaining confidence, you walk to the edge of the nest, offering the protective navy-blue griffon a reassuring smile before knealing and gently petting the younger golden girl's head. The creature chrips at you, startling you for a moment, then snuggles her head against the nest's edge. She looks up at you, as if begging for more attention. You laugh at the beast's antics and rub her neck a bit, getting an almost purring-like noise in return. At first you're surprised by the sound, but considering griffons have definate feline influence in their design, you decide it's not that much of a stretch to believe anyway.
Coros seems to hav grown bored by the while thing after watching you pet Meb-heb for a short while, and the cyberpet soon spreads its wings. Coros gives a snort toward Vaprrenon before taking off again, leaving the lot of you for who knows what. You look up just in time to see the whole thing, looking to Vaprrenon. | Your ishna guide shrugs, leaning against the rock. "Some griffons have, erm...short attention spans. They like to keep themselves entertained and all the cuddling was getting to 'em I guess." She looks over at the two of you. "Well you and Meb-heb certainly seem to have hit it off, haven't you?" she laughs. Trenta yawns, laying her large head on her foreclaws, tail curling about herself. Obviously, she had gotten used to you enough not to care where you went by now, and that was certainly a good thing. It was terribly unnerving to have a huge predator watching your every move. You turn to Vaprrenon curiously, as Meb-heb seems quite satisfied with her attention and has turned, instead, to grooming herself rather than pay attention to you. You ask your guide if there are any more Gatathla griffons about to meet. Not getting an answer from her, you open your mouth to ask once again, unsure if she heard you the first time. "There they are!" she says suddenly, pointing out toward the valley below. You frown, going as near the edge of the mountainout ledge as you dare to try and see what she is talking about. You blink, spotting a fluttering ball of different colored feathers twisting and swooping about far off in the distance. "Best stay back," the ishna advises, taking your arm to lead you back. "Those two can get more than a bit rowdy at times. They hatched at nearly the same time so they've grown up together. I call them the twins, even though they don't particularly look similar. Just...watch out. They can get a little rough when they play."
