Swea has a minion!

Toby the Domestic Guard Griffin

A men, cloaked in black, small. I never saw his face before.
A sword cutting through air. He is still attacking us. Lillyth is sitting on my back. We need to stop him. He hurt so many people, killed so many of US. DAMN HIM! He will be paying for that! TODAY!
Blood is dripping, he hit me. I feel pain. The sword is magical, like most of these ugly guys are too. But the injury is harmless.
He tortured, killed and hurt people for a long time now. This will be his last fight. I Swear!
He belongs to a clan of dwarfs, mean, greedy, ugly. They are hoarding all the silver and gold they can find, melting it and making weapons. They are also creating jewelry for their ugly wives, as if this would make them look any better.... Hairy, strange, terrifying folks.*shudders*
It is hot around us. The melting pots are full and the fire is burning with all it's power to keep the metal liquid. It seems to be burning endless and on it's own. Some of the dwarfs are participating black magic to keep everything going. It's my personal horror.
In this Moment i feel Lillyth jumping from my back. What is she doing?
Wait- Flying Silver? I realise....
I jump high, almost too late, as high as i can, spreading my wings, pulling her aside.
HE WON'T HURT HER.... not my little girl....
I feel pain, deeper this time. I fall. The sword is still in my breast. While losing my consciousness I see Lillyth killing him, she is angry, she's turning around, she looks afraid.
My eyes are closing. I am falling asleep. Will I die? Will we ever fly again? Fight again?
I feel hot metal touching me. I hear the noise of crashing metal. Then there is only heat left.

What happened then was told to me later. Hurt from the weapon in his stomach, the dwarf's hood falls from his head, while his eyes were changing from creepy yellow to some kind of friendly deep green he said: "Thank you for releasing me!"
We didn't know, that there must be someone else contolling them. We thought they were the evil ever since.... "My last deed should be a good one, let me fix this, please" he added near to his last breath. Then there were words. Unfamiliar words, like a short, rather strange melody. I was lifted back up to the edge where we were fighting before, completely coated with liquid gold and silver. Light came out of my motionless body. Slowly i came back to the ground. The silver, the gold and my feathers became one, like it was completely natural.
He saved my life, and died.

The next thing i can remember is me feeling some strange kind of new energy. I see Lillyth lying half over my body, stroking my plumage.I'm feeling heavy, my breast is still hurting. I try to stand up, tremble and fall. Besides the weight their is more energy, too. I can feel it inside.i just don't now how to use it yet. I cocentrate, focus, then force myself to stand up.
"Swea, you are alive" I see her bright eyes crying. I lean my head against her breast, knowing that I will be alright and that we have to go. I pull myself together, feeling this whole lot of new energy, spreading my heavy wings. I signalize Lillyth to get on my back, I feel ready to fly.
We already see the others come nearer, creepy yellow eyes under dark brown hoods, climbing our high place, angry- NO - boiling with rage. Then we are up in the air, flying back home to tell the others about the outcome of this almost deadly mission.




Reflecting this, how I became who I am... will always remember me about the darkness, the evil outside, and that it IS neccesary to fight against it. No matter what's happening, especially as the darkness inside our hearts and heads can be banished! We have a chance to win.


that's why we fly!

that's why we fight!
