Gryphon Light...
An old Guardian that's been around since the Traveller's first contact with humanity.
Killed permanently once before, but resurrected by a compassionate Wish Dragon. There was a condition though, he was required to wield a weapon t...
After coming upon a splitting path, the group splits with the majority going with Ruby and Pyrrha at the behest of Ren.
A cracked signed bearing the name Kuroyuri rests against ruins. An upwards pan and several cuts show the dilapidated village. Ruby Rose and Pyrrha Nikos walk down the road, followed by Gwen, and Shae. They pause and look unhappily around.
Pyrrha: Oh no...
Ruby: Come on.

Shae: I have to agree, however, I think he's looking for something.

Gryphon's fist began to smoke as he clutched it in anger, solar energy threatening to spill out.
Gryphon: I never abandoned you.
Eris:You could have entered the Hellmouth as well, you could have protected them. Eriana, Toland, Vell, Omar, Sai.
Gryphon marched through the forest in the direction of a town he had seen from above. The heat rising from his body singed the grass and bushes he brushed against.
Eris:Perhaps you just don't care? Maybe you just see it as an opportunity for new weaponry.
In a flash of rage, a sunspot erupted where Gryphon stood as he whipped around to face the nightmare.
