“Freya alights in front of the main gate to the consternation of the two guards. They stare open mouthed as the griffin settles her wings back and lets out a cry somewhere between a shriek and a roar. Zane hops to the ground then turns to help me dismount.

With a big grin on his face, Zane takes my hand and lea...ds me up to the shocked guards."Good afternoon, gentlemen," he says. "We seek a night's lodging."The guards part without uttering a word to allow us admittance. As we pass through the raised wooden gate, one of the guards stops us."Uh, what about the g-griffin?" he stammers, his wide eyes fixated on Freya."Oh don't worry. She can take care of herself. I'm sure she'll be just fine in the stable," Zane says, acting like arriving via griffin is an everyday occurrence.I cover my mouth with my hand to stifle the chuckle bubbling up from within.MoreLessRead More Read Less
