THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO REVIEWED! You know I love you right? Well, if you didn't then now you do. Lupus Argenteus Noctus, Betta-in-Blue, querty...I LOVE YOU GUYS!
The Centaurs led Lily, James, Mirel, and Willow through the woods for literally hours. In fact, it was growing lighter when they finally stopped. When they did, indeed, stop, it was in a little field. Well, it could have been a little field...now it was a courtyard for centaurs. Nearly eighty large male centaurs were gathered, arguing over whether or not Mars was bright or Venus was dim. Lily was taken aback at how many there were. She hadn't known there were this many centaurs in the forest. One of their captors walked over to a large black male and they spoke, then both walked over to the Griffens.
"Which of you is the Spokesbeast for the lot of you?" The black male asked, to which Lily stepped forward.
"I am." The Griffen Dialect rolled off of her tongue in gentle clicks and screeches.
"Who are you?" His voice was a calm, deep, soothing sound.
Lily clicked her beak in automatic annoyance, "We are part of the Order of the Griffens." He didn't question her...but his skeptic look was more than enough. "The war against Voldemort..."
He cut her off sharply. "We do not speak of that great evil here. He is one who must not be named."
Lily turned her head upside down, then back, and clicked her beak again. "The war against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named requires that younger witches and wizards be trained to help fight. Most of them are becoming Aurors. My parents were killed, I wanted more...hands on, if you will...involvement than that."
"You run great risk in shifting so openly." The centaur chided her, then he led her to speak with the rest of the centaur tribe leaders. There were four others, each had brought along twenty or so large guards to make sure there were enough that the tribe leader was safe. One of them was a handsome dun, one a strong-looking palomino, another a gray, and the fourth a buckskin. All were strong and agile-looking and all had spent many, many years perfecting their body shapes.
"We...haven't had a chance to shift as of yet. We wished to test our abilities before it was essential." Lily said calmly.
The buckskin was about to speak when a commotion sounded from the clearing. The five centaurs and the Griffen walked out into the clearing to see not three but four Griffens backed in a circle surrounded by Centaurs, shrieking and clicking their beaks warningly. Lily stretched her "cargo" wings and slammed them against the ground, causing it to shake ominously before curling them back beneath her.
The extra Griffen, an older one, looked at Lily and clicked his beak, then he and the other three made their way over to her. The old Griffen eyed Lily, then he spoke.
"Lilianith Evans," He began, shocking the teen out of her mind. Nobody knew her full first name, not even Dumbledore! "I am Candal Sabatoa. The former leader of the Order of the Griffens."
"Former...?" Lily began, "Who's the new..." She was cut off as the old Griffen bowed before her.
"You." Was all he said.
Stardust's Ramblings: Well? Well? Well?! Review peoples! I love reading how to improve my story. Am I moving too quickly? I kind of want to finish this story quickly so I can move on to the one I've been working on for nearly two years on the sidelines. Anyway. Tell me so I know. And to all of those of you who are hitting that review button at this second...I LOVE YOU!
