The great gryphon dragon war has been raging for nearly a hundred years and few remembered why it had even begun. Most people knew only that gryphons and dragons hated each other. No one knew if this had always been the case or not but few cared. Most people merely went on with their lives with little knowledge of the happenings in the skies. The only sign of the war was the nearly hundred mile across wasteland that separated the two nations. Back in the beginning of the war there was a massive battle and so much of the magical blood of both creatures spilled on that part of the land that was completely destroyed.

----

Korinos stepped carefully along the stone hall ways of the aviary moving back to the roost he occupied along with his rider. They had been together since childhood having been paired together shortly after his birth. Stepping inside the wooden doors he nudged them close reaching out with his mind for her.
 
Naomi let out a small muttered groan when she felt Korinos pressing at her mind waking her from the blissful sleep that she had been settled in. She hadn't been sleeping well the past few days and it seemed as if she had only just fallen asleep minutes before.

Though Korinos had woken her she wasn't going to move from her bed, instead she waited for the large creature to come to her. Knowing that if it was important he would do so.
 
Korinos shock his large feathered head before coming over and stripping the covers off of Naomi. He pushed into her mind, at least the part that they had agreed he could enter at will, â??Get up Naomi you need to get ready for the reception tonight.â?? He wasnâ??t really sure he wanted to go but it was mandatory and thatâ??s the way life was for them. They were almost at the ages when they would be sent into the battles and they were both told they needed to deepen the bond of gryphon and rider though not how. Korinos knew how he wanted to deepen it, but he would never tell Naomi that since they were joined he had wanted to have her as his mate.
 
Naomi let out a whine, "Korinos go 'way. I don't care about that stupid reception." She muttered as she tried to pull the covers back up over her body. She truly didn't care about the reception tonight, she never really wanted to be a rider. Though, she wouldn't ever trade having Korinos for anything. Sometime she wishes they could just fly away and live together. She also knew that Drake would be there tonight and him and his twat of a feather brained gryphon were going to be on her all night. Again.
 
He sighed not knowing anything about Drake and his gryphon. Well he knew they liked her and it made Korinos beyond angry that they fawned on Naomi, and he assumed she liked it since all the other girls seemed to want him to do that to them. â??I know but you have to or you will be expelled from the gryphon corps and I will be given to another rider. You know the rules come on.â?? He grabbed the bottom of her sleeping clothes and started to pull her out of bed.
 
Naomi let out a squeal and grabbed on to her pants, "Korinos you're gonna pull them off!" She laughed as she managed to pull away from her friend so she could stand. "And I know." She muttered sticking her tongue out, "I'm just dreading that stupid thing tonight. No one there but annoying riders and their gryphons." She sighed and walked over to her closet, pulling out the dress that she had bought just for tonight. Naomi had really wanted to just wear her riding gear but, Korinos insisted that she wear something more presentable. He had even helped her pick it out. At least it made him happy.

"How much longer until we must leave?" She asked as she slipped into the wash room and started the shower. Stripping out of her sleep clothes she left the door cracked so the steam could shift out.
 
He chuckled as she got out of bed and went to the shower. He looked at the crack that the door was left open a urge to go watch her shower but also stopping himself from doing it out of respect for her. he reached out into her mind again as she was in the shower being sure he was in the part she let him in. â??well we have about five minutes.â?? He couldnâ??t help but have a smirk on his beaked face waiting for her reaction.
 
"WHAT!?" She all but screeched as she jumped out of the shower and ran around the bathroom trying to get dressed. "Oh my god! Korinos I can't believe you let me sleep in this long! I'm going to look horrible." She whined as she let the dress slip down over her body. She ran out of the bathroom, glad that she hadn't needed to wash her hair. Running to her dresser she grabbed her hair clip and pulled her hair up before she grabbed her sandals, slipping them on. "You had better be so glad I love you!" She muttered as she glared at him once she had paused long enough to breathe.
 
He laughed dropping to the floor rolling around not being able to control himself. â??You should have seen your faceâ?¦Haha like I would let you sleep in that much.â?? he couldnâ??t contain himself as he was literally rolling on the floor laughing. It just had worked too well he knew she loved to sleep in when she could and he had just used the fear of over sleeping against her but she did deserve it for being such a pain about him get her up.
 
"Wait...so...we're not late?!" She shouted, "God! You're such a....GAH!" She threw up her arms and stomped off back into the washroom. "I'm ignoring you now!" She called out to him.
 
He laughed more finally rolling over, â??we have a little under a hour before we need to be there.â?? He smirked having enjoyed himself with that little joke not knowing she was really upset with him. he went over to the bed of sand that he slept on and started cleaning his feathers and fur making sure that he was completely presentable, then waiting for her to finish.
 
By the time Naomi had finished getting ready it was time to leave. She walked out of the bathroom the black dress hugging her figure but loosening around her waist and fanning out stopping just at the floor. Since she was given the time she managed to fix her hair so it was hanging around her shoulders in waves. "I would ask you what you think Korinos but, I'm still not talking to you."
 
He growled a little standing and moving over to the door pushing it open again. â??Well since it doesnâ??t matter I wonâ??t tell you that I think your stunning.â?? He didnâ??t understand why she was so mad about a stupid little joke and he couldnâ??t help but add a little statement at the end, â??Iâ??m sure Drake will love it.â? he started to head for the grand hall where the reception was to take place.
 
Naomi looked slightly shocked by Korinos' words but, since the gryphon was in front of her he didn't notice. She frowned as she took off after him, "What's that supposed to mean?!" She asked as she came up beside him.
 
He just shrugged looking back at her â??I donâ??t know what do you think it means?â?? he just hurried on his way to the large meeting hall the doors standing open waiting for them to enter. He had to wait up for her so they entered together. As she came up to him he whispered, â??besides you arenâ??t talking to me right?â?? and they were announced.
 
Naomi's eyes went wide at the statement but she followed Korinos into the meeting hall. She felt somewhat hurt, though, she knew she was probably just overreacting. Lately around Korinos she had been feeling different, flustered. She wasn't really sure what it meant but, she sure wasn't used to it.
 
The night was already in full swing when they showed up and many were already rather on the drunk side. Despite them showing up together Korinos quickly disappeared feeling a bit hurt and wanting time alone to think. He perched on a high shelf above the hall just watching the dancing and partying keeping his eye always on Naomi watching to be sure she was alright.
 
Naomi was miffed that Korinos had abandoned her but, there was nothing she could do to help it. She just hoped that Drake wouldn't show.

"Naomi, dear." A voice purred from behind her. 'Oh, speak of the devil,' Naomi thought to herself covering the frown she wanted to use for a radiant smile as she turned to look at the taller man.

"Drake, what a surprise." She sighed.
 
Korinos growled softly as Drake walked up to Naomi. He couldnâ??t help but feel jealousy rising as she smiled at him. it was clear that she did enjoy the other boys presence. His hawk-like eyes glared down at the couple never taking them off the two. He needed to do something but all he needed now was Naomi mad at him even more because she seemed to want Drakeâ??s company.
 
"Isn't it though?" Drake chuckled. Naomi had to restrain herself to keep from rolling her eyes, Drake was so full of himself.

"Drake, I really must be going, I've got to find Korinos." Naomi smiled as she started to back away only to end up bumping into something. She paused and turned to look behind her, biting her lip when she saw Drake's large black gryphon, Dow.

"I don't think you really want to leave so soon." Drake grinned as he reached out and gripped her arm tightly. Naomi suddenly felt very uneasy.
 
Korinos glared down at the rider and gryphon that had Naomi blocked. Something wasnâ??t right bur he wasnâ??t sure what. He held back watching the three waiting for some sign that something was wrong or something that made his blood boil even more with the jealousy that was already threatening to consume him.
 
"Drake, please." Naomi muttered, "You wouldn't dare do anything with all of these people around." She warned.

"And you wouldn't dare turn me down, you know what I could do." Drake just smirked in return. Naomi's eyes went wide.

"You wouldn't," She gasped. Drake's smirk grew as he jerked her close wrapping his arm around her waist and kissing her fiercely. Around her she could here the annoyed jealous screeching of girls, they sounded like the gryphons that they were paired with.
 
One of the screeches was not a girl. Korinos dropped down from the ceiling landing right on top of Drake. His beak pressed into the boys face as a talon held him down. Drakes gryphon rushed to help but Korinos fended him off with a wing. The mental message was so loud so everyone could hear, â??Donâ??t you ever touch my girl again do you hear!â?
 
Naomi's eyes went wide as she watch Korinos attack Drake. She felt something in her chest flutter, though, she couldn't help but to feel slightly angered. She could take care of herself! Korinos, just never let her.

Drake swallowed heavily, and let out a small whimper. He was terrified, showing himself for the true liar that he was.
 
Korinos just growled pinning the boy down holding him there making it clear what he would do if Drake ever touched Naomi again. He finally turned looking at Naomi, â??Are you ok Naomi? He didnâ??t hurt you did he?â? this was whispered to her and just her not letting others know how much he worried about her.
