The Divine Elements

“Orpen, will you still try to stop me?”

Xardoth asked quietly, but a seething anger could be detected within the Griffon King’s voice.

His scouts had still not found any traces of Rebran’s location and the only clue they had was that a young lion was seen buying a small inflated ball from a shopkeeper. After discreetly questioning the toy vendor, the scouts could only sigh in frustration when no further clues of their young master were found.

“I said that I’ll follow you if the young master was not back by this morning, and I stand by my word. Give the order and we shall prepare for war, your highness.”

The slender griffon stated calmly, as he knelt on one knee.

“Good. Let us march for war!”

Xardoth bellowed with a crazy bloodlust. The king had not been able to sleep the whole night, wondering whether or not his son was safe , and how he would convey this news to his wife if Rebran truly never returned.

“Wait for me, Weir… I know it was you that kidnapped my son.”

Xardoth growled, as he flapped his enormous wings and leapt into the sky.

The elite group of griffons lead by Orpen quickly followed behind their king, while the other beast troops marched steadily on the ground.

It was time for war.
