Orions family can be a bit overbearing

Alderic was Orions favorite brother. Though they were the farthest apart in age, he seemed to get her the most. She was always the happiest when they were out training or when she was hanging out with Emmery, the youngest brother. They would work with the palace animals together, taming them, feeding them, playing with the newest littles to join their zoo. She was the youngest of 8 children and the only girl. Orion was skilled in all forms of combat but she was best with ranged style, she could throw a dagger and hit a copper piece from over 30ft. Her eyesite was on par with the best warriors in Elysium. Her mother disapproved of her constant need to fight. She needed to focus more on her studies. It wasn't as though Elven women couldn't fight or join the guard, they had the same status as men. Equals. Which was rare out all of the territories there were only two kingdoms like hers. But she wasn't just a regular girl, no, she was royalty. The first girl born into the royal family in over 5000 years. She was loved by all her brothers and they'd kill to keep her happy.

Orion had blown off her studies that morning because she really was catching Faith, the baby griffin that had escaped. Thank the gods her brothers had stumbled into the courtyard saving her from the immediate lecture, the one her mother was bound to give her later about her "duties" as a princess.

Just after my mother left, the missing griffin had come falling from the sky right next to Alistar, shaking the ground next to him, making him stumble, he leaned on Faith to try and stabilize, but she nipped at him and growled. Alistar quickly moving to the side away from the griffin, clearly uncomfortable. Faith moved toward me giving a nudge for attention. "Faith I was looking for you all morning, you know that? I even had to skip my studies and breakfast, where did you run off too?" I loved faith she was there the night she was born and has grown up along side Faith, Faith had just started to learn to fly and like me, wasn't to keen on the new rules that followed.

Alistar dusting himself off "dirty creatures griffins"

I whisper something in faith ears and she grunts in agreement.

I start scratching Faith under ear by her neck and her leg starts shaking like a dog.

And then she falls write on to Alistar.

Crushing under her body she starts a scolding "Rion your finished you little shit head"

Alderic and I bent over his knees laughing.

Alistar starts to slide out from under Faith.

"Ahhh shoot I gotta run see ya Alderic"

"I'll be seeing you Rion I know where you sleep!" He called out after to me

I'll be locking my door tonight for sure.

Before Alistar could get up and chase me, I make a break for the palace kitchen doors.
