Refuge is sought at the base of a forest, the mulched leaves and turf beneath Elise’s back are a doable alternative to the bedroll she nearly snatched before the likes of Thomas and Xaahira shoved and beat her. She is alone, hidden away and assured that the others will return with goods that will numb the aches and bruises that have been brushed across her body. Blood now outweighs the blusher on her face, a reflection is still being sought so that she can confirm how gruesome she looks.
There is no care in her appearance now, not while blades of grass and dirt crawl into her curled hair. Lying here and being dormant is a risk, any foe will take the opportunity to drive their spears into her chest. Perhaps she will let them put her out of this embarrassing misery. She lies just on the outskirts of the forest, there are enough surrounding trees to mask her. In any other moment, the endless rows of unknown would have her venturing out of here in an instant.
Her moment of peace of admiring the canopy above is disturbed. A sigh slips between her burst lips and she uses the spear as a support to get back onto her feet. Twigs snap and leaves crunch, someone is very loudly making their presence known to everything hidden amongst trees. Elise does not want to join them; she holds back on calling out a threat. Herself, a spear and a basket of barely useful items are no match for anything right now.
Except all she sees is a copy of Louie’s drawings. A mirror image of the fantasy beasts he pulls from that wild mind of his and prints onto parchment. The expanse of its wings blocks two entire tree trunks and its bronze feathers shimmer in the dimming light. Elise is in awe at witnessing such a majestic beast which in this entire time has not tried to engage its intimidating claws into her face. Their eyes have connected several times, but Elise still grips onto the spear as the winged beasts circles her and the trees.
”I won’t hurt you, but please do not hurt me!” It is unlikely the beast can understand her voice. Elise breaks contact with it to look around for her allies. ”Leo I need you here-“ Her words trail off as the seemingly harmless beasts rubs its beak onto the ground. If Louie was here, he would be so eager to pet it and she would be holding him back.
Elise captures the confidence of her younger brother as she edges closer to the bronze beauty, baby steps so not to startle it. One hand finally flees from the spear and reaches out.
Griffin.
Elise attempts to tame a Gryphon 1/3.
