2gryphons 2dragons part 4

we all looked at the scenery it was some of the most beautiful we had ever seen. surprisingly my mom and I were the only ones who didn't have their mouths wide open. I think the reason that I didn't have my mouth wide open was because I had seen this before but just couldn't remember it.

"ok that's enough sight seeing lets get you to your new home and Eros back to his." mom said.

we started to fly towards the city and the castle. we landed at the main gate with high spirits. we were surprised when several guards who were all gryphons came up to us. but they only seemed concerned to deal Si-Ann and Daniel.

"stay where you are dragons." the captain of guard told them.

"stand down Argus, the dragons are with us." mom told the captain.

"but your majesty."

"you dare question your queen, captain even when my son is with me." my mom angrily told the guard. it made me glad I wasn't on her bad side.

"sorry your majesty" he said looking to his front talons.

"that's quite alright Argus."

"excuse me for asking but where is your son? I don't see him with you."

"come we'll talk on the way to the castle."

"your mom is kind of stern, don't ya think?" Daniel asked.

"ya but she's family and she has dealt with some bad things in her life."

the walk to the castle was a pain because with my mom, Solice and I near the front of the group, Daniel and Si-Ann kept getting hit with trash thrown by the people in the city. the citizens didn't care that their queen was with the dragons. not ten minutes after that we were stopped in the courtyard by more guards.

"your majesty get behind us, dragons have breached the walls"

"I already know this. these two are our guests." she said as she pointed to Si-Ann and Daniel. "also after 13 years my son has returned."

"we must tell the king quickly." the guard who stopped us said.

"NO! he mustn't find out until dinner. you got that"

"yes ma'am" he said and hurried off.

"my queen you keep talking about your son returning when your son as been home all along." argus took advantage of the tension in the air.

"well argus, the male gryphon that you have seen with me all this time is my son that I lost thirteen years ago. this gryphoness is his mate and the two dragons here are his friends. they took care of him in the other realm until a group of humans captured him, his mate and his two friends."

Argus just stood there mouth wide open. He looked at me in disbelief. I nodded to him confirming what my mom had said. suddenly argus just started twitching, my guess is that my brother, from what I had pieced together from the conversation, always plays around with Argus.

"I think you broke him, mom and who are they." I heard someone say from the gardens to my right. we looked towards where the voice came from and saw a young, dull grey gryphon walk over to us.

"Noctis, this is your older brother Eros and these are his friends and mate." mom said as she pointed to me then to the others.

"wait, your telling me this is my brother?" Noctis asked.

"yes I am, Noctis."

"how and if he is why hasn't he been home?"

"we will tell that story over dinner brother." I answered
we soon walked into the castle after meeting my brother and walked to the throne room. mom had gone ahead of us so we could get to know our way around the castle.  
"hey bro why is it that you have 2 dragons with you?"

"well they have protected me along with my mate. they are also the some of the only friends I have." I answered my brother.

we continued walking to the throne room with little conversation. we passed several guards who looked at Daniel and Si-Ann with disgust. I thought it was strange that since coming inside the city and the castle. we had not seen a single dragon bar Daniel and Si-Ann.

This perplexed me, so I decided to ask Noctis."hey Noctis, why haven't we seen any dragons while in the city or in the castle?"

he just simply answered "well Eros, dragons aren't exactly welcome within the city walls."

"why is aren't we welcome?" Daniel said.

"well dragons have always attack the city every once in awhile and most of the citizens have lost many family members. the only family that hasn't lost anyone to family to dragons was ours. But our family lost you when mom had to hide you. speaking of which where exactly have you been." Noctis answered and asked.

"has mom or dad taught you of the creatures called humans and the realm they come from? I asked getting looks from the others.

"mom has taught me about humans and their realm."

"well I was taken in by a family of them and in their realm I meet these three." I said pointing to the others. Before he could answer we arrived at the door to the throne room. we heard some talking and yelling come from the room before the door burst open with who appeared to be the captain of the guard behind it.

"Get those dragons out of the city." A stern gruff voice ordered the guard.

"stay where you are guard." my mom told the guard.

during this commotion we walked past the guard into the throne room. There was two thrones at the end of the room. This thrones looked more like a long cushion with gold backs to them. Mom and who I assumed was Dad were laying on the thrones. we got about halfway to them when I heard Si-Ann roar in pain. I looked towards them and saw the captain of the guard with about 3 guards all armed with spears pointed at Daniel and Si-Ann. Daniel was standing defensively and growling in front of Si-Ann who looked to have had a spear go through her wing.

I saw the guards moving closer to the two of them. But time seemed to just stopped and when time returned to normal all the guards were unconscious on the ground except for one. the spears were broken in half while the one spear that belonged to the conscious guard was right beside his head sticking in the ground.

Everyone was looking at me wide eyed like I had become something other than a gryphon. I brought my right foreleg in front of me and noticed it looked like black fog. I was surprised to see myself like that. but I remembered that I had gotten angry and time seemed to slow down to a stop. I decided to calm down to see if I would return to normal, it worked. when I was back to normal I looked around the room and chuckled a little bit before losing consciousness.

I woke up in what I could describe as the abyss of my mind because there was a few things better left unseen or said in there. I could only think about what I was doing here as I looked around. I looked until I saw a gryphon in the distance with an evil grin strapped across his face. This is not going to be good is what I thought in my head as the gryphon started to walk closer to me. He stopped 10 feet from me, allowing me to get a good look at him.

the gryphon looked exactly like me just a lot wilder. What I mean by wilder is the feathers on his wings were unkempt and unpreened while his fur was going everywhere. I looked at his eyes, they were blood red and didn't show any kind of remorse or feeling in them except rage and coldness. when he spoke it was like someone had set my blood on fire and then froze it instantly.

"Hello Eros, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
