Sometimes, trees with come in clusters, and a hint of some desert lands will be seen, but the land remains undecided on whether or not to keep one way or the other. You often see creatures just a bit too far away from you to make out what they are, but most of them run away or disappear when you get too close.
"Halt," says a firm female voice.
You stop and see a large black gryphon walking towards you. Her eyes are sharp, and she doesn't seem too keen on letting you get past her. You give a short introduction, wondering if it will do any good.
"I know who you are," she snaps. "I am Augcatlos, and I've been flying above you, watching your movements. You'll not get back to Fri-on if you keep on this path. I can fly you back to the beginning of the maze. Be warned, however, that if you do not take this offer, it may not come again."
A bit suspicious, you ask, "But why are you helping me?"
She glares at you. "I no more want Fri-on to be here than you do. He is a threat to us all. Now, will you come with me?"
