Pafeld

______________________________________________________________________________

Parem soared over the skies of Pafeld on his black griffon mount, Durock. With intense golden eyes, Parem scanned the ground searching for a safe place to stay for the night. Then he saw it, a clearing at the far edge of the town. He was forced to shout because of the rushing wind. "Land right over there in that clearing! We can ask who ever lives in that thatched hut for shelter." in a matter of moments, Durock dived straight down. Then with an over abundance of gracefulness, he spread his dark wings wide and gently landed. Durock remained silent as he usually did. Although they may not be able to communicate with words, Parem and Durock were bonded for years now.

They had mastered the art of communicating without words. The black feathered griffon made an almost inaudible grumble, they made direct eye contact as Durock made it abundantly clear. There was someone, or something watching them. Suddenly there was a deep growl in the tall grass. Parem raised his hand and a stream of fire rushed forward burning the grass and revealing a massive wild boar that was scared senseless and ran off deeper into the field. Durock, being the size of an elephant, Durock quickly overcame the boar and slit its throat with his razor sharp talons. "Congratulations my feathery friend. Parem made a wicked grin. We officially have our meal for the night."

After eating a hearty and filling meal, Parem sighed and packed the bags hanging off of Durock's saddle. He wrapped a large chunk of the boar meat in an elvish cloth that is specifically designed to block the smell and preserve fresh meat. With all his belongings packed he broke camp and looked directly into Durock's eyes. "Yes Durock, I know the sacrifice is happening today. Just be patient will you?"

The black feathered Griffon made a dull screeching sound and rubbed his beak against Parem's chest. "Its alright buddy. When we arrive just make sure you stay high above where you can get a clear view of the ceremony." Durock made a slight nod and with that Parem leaped gracefully onto his companion and they quickly took off into the air towards Iracot.
