My First Solo

My First Solo Write!

OK, this is my first time doing a solo write! But I know I can do it!

You are a gryphon, a young gryphon. You live in a time of great peril, your homland is being invaded my evil birds called the Snides. (More on those latter). The world is full of fear, because where ever the Snides land, the trees rot and the flowers die.

Allright! Charrie sheet:

Name:

Personality:

Aperance:

Other:

Here's mine

Name: Nika Snikk 

Personality: loud, outspoken, fierce isn't afraid to speak her mind. 

Aperance: small gryphon, golden-brown head, big sharp amber eyes, feathers have flashes of black in them, honey-brown talons, and a golden body.

Other: Training to be a Defender.

IMPORTANT! THERE ARE ONLY GOING TO BE FIVE MAIN CHARTERS INCLUDING ME! FIRST COME FIRST SERVEd! IF YOU AREN'T ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE COMING THEN YOU WILL GET A MINOR PART! 

No bad guys, sorry but you all will have to be the good guys. Also I need TWO gryphons to be in an outpost defending against the Snides. Like before, only the first two people who's post I read will get to be the Defenders.  

Also! The first post when we start will be the PROLOG. In the next post you will all be mentioned. Hopfully I will be able to post every other day.

Chapter 2~~ Over at the South Outpost
RING RING RING RING!!!!!
The morning wake-up bells ring out through the outpost. Tired gryphons roll out of bed and stumble to the breakfast hall, passing the night watch, heading to their dorms for a well deserved rest. The gryphons enter the breakfast hall, barely noticing the pale cracked walls or the hard stone floor. They sit at the tables arranged in the hall, looking at their meal of two dead mice and a glass of stale, tasteless water.
"Well, the food is always like this." Skydash says, to her friend Thunder.
"I know, maybe we can find something a little tastier on our patrol." Thunder growls.
They gulp down there breakfast in a rush and walk out of the hall to the bright dawn of the morning.
"It's so peaceful out here." Skydash sighs.
That's when a bomb fell out of nowhere and the sun and clouds where covered by the dark forbidding shapes of the Snikes. And then chaos started. The screams of surprised gryphons ripped through the air as the Snikes' bombs come shooting down to the ground, killing gryphons as they try and orient themselves. The alarm bells were ringing, adding to the chaos as gryphons try and decide if it's a real attack or a practice.
Thunder flys up to the giant megaphone and bellows through it "GRYPHONS! WAKE UP YOU LAZY LUMPS AND ATTACK THE SNIKES!!!!!!"
Her loud growl rips through the ranks of gryphons, as they finally fly up and attack the Snikes.
"Good choice!" Skydash says.
"Thanks! Watch out for that bomb to your right." Thunder clucks.
The gryphons knew they were going to win, once a week the Snides try this and everytime the gryphons of the South Outpost win. But then, a huge flaming ball of fire falls down from behind, the gryphons had fallen for the oldest trick in the book, distract and attack. Too late! The ball of fire spirals down, down, down mesmerizing gryphons as it hits the ground, and explodes with a loud swirling boom, engulfing the gryphons and buildings as it spreads out. Fire and ash fly in the air, no gryphons could survive an explosion like that. The South Outpost has fallen.

I'm SO sorry I haven't been posting!

Two shapes of gryphons float through the river, they had fallen in there after the explosion. They gently fall down the little water fall, singed and blackened feathers float down ahead of them. They enter a little pond where they are pushed by the current half in and half out of the water. They lay there while the sun rises and the birds wake. The curious deer and wolves sniff their motionless bodies before drinking the cool clear water of the pond. It's well past sundown when one of the bodies moves.

"Uhggg" the pure black one moans, "What happened?"

Thunder stands up and coughs up a gallon of water. She then looks over at her friend. She's still not moving. Thunder pokes her friend.

'Wake up! You've got to wake up." Thunder growls, poking her friend.

Skydash slowly opens her eyes and blinks. In a dreamlike state she sits up, coughs up water, and even a tiny little minnow.

'What?" Skydash yells, her friend's voice sounds like it's underwater, coming out in bubbles.

Thunder shakes her head, 'I can't hear you' Skydash assumes is what the shake means.

Skydash flys up, she's a bit wobbly but can still fly. She and Thunder fly off into the distance, back to Gryphon City, they know what happened to the South Outpost.

Chapter 2~~ The Healing Room
The trainee gryphons were in the healing room, it was the day after the Advanced Flight Maneuver Training and the gryphons where sore from wingtip to wingtip. The nurses were rushing about the cool white room. Gryphons were sitting on beds and chairs spread about the room. 
"Healcast! I'll need your help with this. You know what to do for sore muscles!" Nurse yells.
"Yes ma'ma." The nurse trainee Healcast says, running to the store cabinet to get more healing herbs. 
"That feels better, thanks nurse!" Quick Flight sighs.
"Really! We shouldn't be teaching young gryphons to be Defenders! They just get in trouble. They should be at school. Learning history and math. Not how to fight!" Nurse mumbles to herself. 
Then the door burst open and two gryphons collapsed inside the room. One was pure black, with a bronze beak and talons. At first the gryphons thought that the other was black too, until they saw the bluish wings and golden pelt, they realized that the gryphon was just covered in soot.
"I NEED EVERYBODY OUT!!!!!!!!!" Nurse bellows, "THOSE GRYPHONS ARE IN CRITICAL CONDICION! I DON'T NEED A BUNCH OF FEATHERBRAINED GRYPHONS UNDER MY TALONS WHILE I WORK!" 
The trainee gryphons rush from the room, the last thing they saw where two nurse gryphons lifting the singed gryphons onto a bed.

More is coming soon!

And here we are again with another post! 
~~~ 
"Poor gryphons!" Valley says.
"I know! I wonder what happened?" Nightlynn asks.
"Maybe they're Defenders who's Outpost got attacked! Maybe that's why they look so bad!" Nika gasps.
"You mean that the Snikes are real? That they weren't just made up?" Valley says.
"Of course they're real, they killed my parents." Nika snaps.
Shocked silence follows Nika's words. She doesn't give up anything about herself or her past easily.
"That's... That's horrible! I'm sorry." Valley says.
"Well, it happens." Nika says.
They proceed to there room in silence, each thinking there own thoughts.
I wonder what the Snikes did to the egg?  Nika thinks.
I didn't know that Nika was an orphan!  Valley sighs.
I wonder how it happened?  Nightlynn thinks.

More is coming! I may do another post later in the day. But I will do another tomorow!

Chapter 3~~ Report
In the Healing Room, many gryphons are waiting. One is waiting for her two newest patients to wake up. Another is waiting for lunch. And another is waiting for a reply from a mysterious stranger. There are secrets, and most of them start in the Healing Room. Thunder opens her eyes and quickly shuts them, the bright light of the Healing Room has set off a tremendous pounding headache. A cool wash cloth is put on her head, the headache is slowly retreating. 
"I need to report to the General Fluffy Feathers!" Thunder roars. She jumps to her feet and starts swaying and falls back to her bed with a gentle thump.
"Don't get yourself riled up! You need rest, many of your feathers have been broken, you won't be flying straight for a while." Nurse says.
"But I need to see the General! He needs to hear about this!" Thunder says weakly, she knows that Nurse would never agree for her to see him.
"Fine, I'll send a messenger to him and he can come if he wants to." Nurse sighs, "Healcast! Run to General Fluffy Feathers and tell him we have a gryphon who wants to see him." 
The gryphon next to Thunder slowly opens her eyes, roused by her friend's loud screeches. 
"Oww. Everything hurts!" Skydash moans.
"Of course you're hurting! You've been flying with broken feathers and it looks like you were dumped in a fire! Not to mention it looks like you haven't gotten a lot of rest!" Nurse snaps. 
"That's not far from the truth." Skydash sighs.
Nurse's eyes look at both gryphons, she draws herself up high with her feathers bushing out.
"You mean to tell me that you knew you had broken feathers, burns, and lack of sleep and you didn't get any medical help?" Nurse whispers loudly.
Thunder and Skydash feel a glimmer of forbidding, they had a feeling that they were going to get a tremendous telling off.
"HOW COULD YOU HAVE BEEN SO STUPID! GRYPHONS YOUNGER THAN YOU HAVE MORE SENSE! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD EVER SINCE YOU COULD FLY!? DON'T FLY WITH BROKEN FEATHERS! YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT HOW MANY TIMES? A LOT OF TIMES!" Nurse squawks.
"Yeah but---" Skydash starts.
"NO EXCUSES! AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE DUMPED IN A FIRE! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU READ AND BEEN TOLD THAT FIRE IS NOT A PLAY TOY!??! IT IS PRETTY BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER, NEVER, NEVER EVER JUMP INTO THE FIRE! THAT IS EXTREMLY CHILDISH OF YOU!" she squawks.
The two gryphons excuses are drown out by Nurse's tyraid of words. 
"WHY IF I WAS YOUR MOTHER I WOULD TAKE AWAY  OUTSIDE TIME AND MAKE YOU STUDY UNTIL YOU ARE REPEATING 'I will not play with fire' IN YOUR SLEEP!" 
Luckily for Thunder and Skydash General Fluffy Feathers chose that time to come in. The general was small, about the size of a two year old fledgling His feathers were fluffy, and a silvery gray color. His light blue eyes were opened wide, in an air of fake innocent But Skydash and Thunder new better. General Fluffy Feathers was sharp as a whip, and twice as flexible. He had a hot boiling temperament, and is known for kicking gryphons into jail for calling him a fledgeling. 
"Thunder, Skydash report." Fluffy Feathers says.
Seeing the fierce look from Nurse, Thunder and Skydash settle for a simple salute while laying in bed, despite there urging to stand and do it. 
"The South Outpost has fallen, sir. We are the only gryphons who survived." Thunder says.
Fluffy Feathers closes his eyes and thinks about this, it's alot to take in. 
"Thank you Defenders, I shall take your report to the king. In the meantime rest, and heal." Fluffy Feathers says.
