Only I Can Kill It... Isn't that Weird? (2)

"Atchoo!"

[The hell are you sneezing for? Are you allergic to gryphons.]

"It's not like I'd have known even if I had, now would I?" Ashton barked back while dodging the gryphon's attack, "Be honest with me, this is supposed to be another one of the Xyran's sick experiments, right?"

The gryphon... it was the first time Ashton had come across one. To be honest, Ashton liked the way they looked. The head of an eagle and the body of a lion, both being the apex predator of their own domain. But their appearance was quite a bizarre one. As far as Ashton was aware, only the Xyrans could pull something like this off.

[Uh... remember how I told you the Xyrans was militarising everything in sight? Yeah... the gryphons might be one of the things created by us for that reason. Or so you'd have thought but in reality, it was the precursors... we just failed to tame them as the precursors did.] 

"I fucking knew it."
