Carrying On

Ashiel had one last thing to do before he left and that was to pass Griff on to his cousin Aureus. The bird wished to remain in Risen and desired to help bring up the next generation. It had been a fairly easy decision. Griff got along well with Kali and so he requested to stay and help Aureus in more tactical pursuits. The boy was an excellent fighter but he still didn't have a mind meant for tactics. Ashiel moved to the entrance of Aureus' room, Griff rested on his back bobbing up and down with each step. Ashiel was sad to part from his companion. They'd been together for so long but he could understand the bird's point of view. They had an equal partnership and some times partnerships had to end.

Ashiel cleared his throat. "Aureus? I'm leaving now. I've brought Griff with me. Please give him your full attention and respect."
