"Not many become gyphon riders, let alone Welkynar. A modicum of destiny is involved. The race presents a perfect opportunity for Helian to earn his right as a gryphon rider." She avoided calling a human a Welkynar.

"But I didn't want this!" The young Imperial exclaimed.

"It is what it is. The bond can only be broken through death." Melinore sighed.

Helian didn't really fancy dying so that was certainly not an option. But maybe he could kill the gryphon...

The fledgling looked at him with its big eyes and cocked its head.

No... That wasn't an option either.

"If you think about killing a gryphon to sever the bond know that it will set you free, as much as it will set free your head from your body, outsider. Not to mention you would probably not feel like living afterwards. It has been known that many Welkynars die shortly after their gryphons die. The feeling of loss is too great to bear. Especially if the bond has lasted for years."

Helian shook his head. He wouldn't kill this little fellow. He couldn't.

"As for why the race specifically? Well. I can think of no better occassion. Should you prevail, there will be little we can do to stop you. Destiny will have fingered you a gryphon rider and who are we to argue with destiny."
