Chapter 5 – the journey north
"So you ready lad?" said Razor.
"Yea, where we heading first?"
"We'll we will head north and follow the river to the orc dungeons to save your god father first. From there we will seek out the Wanderer. He will aid us on our journey," replied Razor.
"The wanderer?" I ask.
"Yes, this old man who knows all of the land and the rules and its secrets. He will give us the sacred scroll; will lead us to the three sacred relics of the wand. We will need the relics to open the portal to heaven," Razor replied.
"So I guess we shall head out then. And Razor thanks again, I would be lost right now with out you, or dead."
"Don't worry about it lad, who am I to stop true love from happening?" Razor chuckled. "Now climb on, we should make haste." So I did as I was told and climbed on Razors back. I gently climbed on the golden gryphon's back. And his wings emerged, lifting us up higher into the sky. I forgot how much I loved to fly, it always left me clear my head. "How are you holding on back there lad?"
"Great, I love flying; it helps me clear my head. And I feel so free," I replied.
"Ha, ha lad, glad to know someone else like's to fly. We should pick up the wind torrent shortly and pick up a lot of time."
5 days later
"Tomorrow lad we will reach the dungeons. We should try to sneak into the dungeons and see if we can get to the cell holding your god father unnoticed." Razor instructed.
"Yea," I mumbled while eating my stew. "So Razor, you know all about my history why don't you tell me about yours?"
"That my lad is a long story, but I will do the best I can."
It started when I was born into the world to the king and queen of gryphons. My father Gryph and mother Linda. The first two ever gryphon's to walk the earth. And then they gave birth to me, God asked my father to send one of our kinds to guard and aid those of pure hearts in this Veil. My father told me this was my destiny and it was an honor to do the gods wishes. So I accepted, and when I came here I saw stuff no eyes should ever see. Demons with hearts as black as the night sky. Orcs who care nothing for others. And I have been here since the dawn of time, waiting for those who need aid. And now you came, and now I can fulfill my orders by aiding you. Then I will get to rest with my father and mother. So you see you want to get to the portal just as bad as I want to.
"I'm sorry Razor, we will complete this together, or we will die trying."
"Yes we will lad, now you should get some sleep, we shall leave before sun set and see if we can catch the orcs by surprised," Razor said.
"Kay, good night Razor." As my eyes shut, I was thinking of this one and only God. I was never much for religion, but now it all seems so true. There is a Heaven and a God. Then my thoughts turn to Hermione. How I miss her smile, but I know it's only a matter of time before were together again. "Good night Mione," I whisper into the wind.
