Odin walked through the golden streets of Asgard his long prideful strides shadowing his two sons at his side. Holding his head up high he watched his beloved kingdom go about their everyday lives only looking at their king when they think he is not looking. He was taking his sons to receive a present from one of their allied lands. Thor was bouncing in his stride not being able to keep his excitement in cheek, while hisyounger brother loki kept a cool demeanor about him even though the boy was vary interested in what was in store for them.

The land that was to bring the gifts was called Furoso a beautiful planet that the boys always loved to go to because of the breathtaking beasts that inhabited the land. Especially the Vunto creatures that looked human with attachment such as crystal growing from their skin to leathery wings forming down their back and creating a matching tail. They always had the most interesting way of giving gifts but each year it was something that the boys would never lose interest in.

Odin led the boys down to the harbor like every year, passing floating ships importing goods from food to weapons all the way down to the ship crafted of glowing crystal with dancing ribbons of aura. Thor ran ahead of his father the young boy's face breaking into a smile as he was greeted by the same face he seen every year. "Thor you grown scenes I saw you last" Thor nodded looking up at Pytro. The Vunto stood eight feet tall and was covered from head to webbed foot in glistening scales that looked like they were carved from the ocean floor. He had a bald head that was decorated in a thin veined fin that rain down his back and ended in a tail that could be used as a rudder in the ocean.

"And how are you Loki" he said as he saw the younger brother approche "fine thank you sir" Pytro nodded flipping his fin like ears his tail hitting the dock with a thump "well come with me the king and queen thought you two were ready to have something vary, vary special indeed".

Thor ran after him their faced brightening as they saw the wonders on the Furoso ship, dragon eggs, weapons crafted from the elements themselves, scrolls that would take you to the past, seeds that could grow into trees the size of planets the wonders were endless. Pytro took them all the way up to the deck the wind nipping at their skin. The Vunto put his lips together into a long soundful whistle looking to the sky. The boys fallowed his gaze as a cry cracked through the air, powerful wing beats ripped through the air as a pair of wings blocked out the sun that were the color of deep pinks crimsons and oranges like a fire being painted on a see through canvas.

A egele like creature landed on the deck with feathers long and a deep shade of reds and violets and long legs that end in fine black claws. The beats gave a cry and was the engulfed in fire transforming into a man with long spiked red hair and deep violet eyes. Walking to Thor the man bowed. "This is Pharo a fire Griffin" said Pyrto, the man smiled "I heard a lot about you Thor" he said standing up he transformed back into the breathtaking bird "it will be a honor to serve you"

The wing beats continued only this time the sun was blocked out by a a pair of wings that seemed to be constantly moving as if it were air or water. Shimmering blues, violets and silvers exploded with color as another beast landed. A wolf with fur white as snow and crystals protruding from its shoulder blades that glistened like icy glass, its paws were large and had long thick claws colored in a deep ocean blue. but what was eyes capturing was the seven streams of aura that danced across the beast's body. It landed in front of the boys it's wings disappearing the moment it's paws touched the wood floor. The ribbons of aura danced even more gracefully red, blue, green, white, yellow, black, and violet all moved together in harmony around the wolf's body. It was large as well standing toe to toe with the Griffin.

The wolf stood in front of Loki bowed but did not say a word.

"She is named Nixfa a elemental" Pyrto walked back to the boys with a smile on his face. "Well boys, I would like you to meet your new guardians"

The boys gasped looking at the elegant creatures "they are ours" asked Thor, Pytro nodded "yes you see in our world when a warrior comes of age a guardian is chosen to partner with them in battle, they will fight beside you and be loyal to you for the rest of your lives".

Thor Jumped in Glee and ran to Pharo wrapping his arms around the fire bird as it gave out a roar of excitement returning the hug as best it could. Loki though walked to Nixfa still in awe of her beauty, staring at her though he became unsure, this was not like getting a toy or book, there was a person under that wolf body, a person that did not wish to show her true form. A person who is practically his as if she were a pet.

Nixfa was no different then a slave with a fancy name. Did she even agree to being his guardian? To a boy that was not even from her world or apart of her customs. He reached out to touch the wolf, her fur feeling softer then anything he has ever felt, she was strangely warm and cold at the same time as well like ice that has been thrown into a fire but refuses to melt. Her eyes stared at him like orbs of colord icy blue, there was sadness in those eyes and loki knew she did not want this.

"Come ride with me brother!" yelled Thor climbing onto Pharo's back, an uneasiness came into Loki's stomach, looking back to her eyes he sighed "would you like to ride with Thor and Pharo?" he asked. Nixfa's eyes widened a bit, but it was gone just as fast as it appeared. Did she not think he would ask her if it was okay to climb on her back and make her fly through the sky?

Nixfa lowered her head to meet face to face with Loki "if that is what you wish then I shall ride with you". Loki's heart fell a bit but to please his older brother he climbed onto the lowered back awkwardly gripping onto the fur and hugging her sides with his legs. Thor took off like a natural holoring in glee at his new 'friend' Nixfa began to run her smooth gate made it easier to ride and more comfortable then even a horse that he was so used to. Jumping to the air her wings appeared out of thin air the spiritual material moving like smoke a capturing the air and making him airborne the suddenness of it made loki hug her even tighter. "Do not hold so tightly" she said causing him to relax "sorry"

The sarrow of her voice made it clear that Nixfa was stripped of her freedom just to be a present for him. Lowering his head he felt ashamed to be on her back "I hope we can be friends one day" he said

"As do I my lord, but for now I shall carry you through the sky as you have asked"
