Flowers in Your Hair

Julian found himself with enough time after an escort shipment to the dwarfs. His father had been helping them with money and wine in exchange for their craftmanship of armor and weapons. With a few days to spare, Julian had heard about the great griffins at Soldier's Peak. What an excuse to go see them in person. Julian wore normal travel clothes on, leather, and sturdy travel gear in case things got a bit dangerous. A cloak leaned on his back, that was laced around his neck. The travel to Soldier's Peak wasn't bad, uneventful. The road was free with no one suspicious. 

A few moments after arriving, he stopped to ask where the Griffins were among the people he spotted. A guard pointed him in the direction, and for good measure thank the man with a coin for the information. He knew how important information was and it was always nice to be thanked. Plus if that guard ever remembered him in the future, he may turn the other way for his kindness. As he made the journey toward the area of the griffins, he noticed a girl. Young maybe his age or maybe a few years younger. He watched from afar, she laughed as the younger griffin approached her. Light with his steps, he made his way next to her and leaned over the railing. He was in awe himself. A beautiful creature up close. Now if only he could see a dragon, he would be complete. 

"Are they adorable? I can only imagine what it would feel like to ride one and feel the wind hitting your face...free from everything...."
