Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-27303410-20161210030743/@comment-37315504-20190713191951

"Marvelous," I say under my breath as I look both at the castle and the griffon.

"What did you say?" she said in an irritated tone, thinking what I said was an insult to her.

"I said, marvelous," I replied to her as I kept glancing at her and the castle. She seems suprised at my comment,

"Are you talking about me or the castle?" she asks noticing that I keep glancing at her and the castle.

Now me being the dumb human I am, said without second thinking, "Both." I quickly shut my mouth realizing what I just said and turned away blushing. The griffon was at first caught off by my compliment, but she then just smiled at my shy reaction.

She tightened her bear grip on me and asked, "So tell me, human. Why is a shy and weak man, trying to steal my gold?" ''Wait, she thought I was a raider. Ohhhhh that makes sense how she was acting to me now.''

"Oh, you must be confused, I'm not a raider," I say but get slapped in the face with her tail.

"Don't lie to me, your after the treasure you human scum," she says tossing me to the stone ground, in the direction of her castle. I let a painful scream out, because I hit the ground pretty ard even though my backpack hit the ground first. Even though I'm pretty sure I have a sprained ankle I slowly stand back up to face her.

"Like I said *grunt* I'm not a raider. I'm a historian," I said as I pull of my backpack and place infront of the ground before me. I go through my backpack for my ID, I finally grab it and limp  painfully over to her and hand her my ID. Sure enough she looks at my ID and sees I am in fact a historian. "I study the same time period for about the time this castle was built," I say to her.

Her face turns from anger to regret in a couple of seconds. "I'm sorry for misunderstanding your role in the group. I thought you were just another filthy raider trying to steal what doesn't belong to you. I am truely sorry," she says in an apologetic tone.

"Well You got some stuff right and some stuff wrong. You see my minor was geology and I know what most gems are and how much they are worth. They only hired me for that specific reason, but to be honest I really didn't care about the gems or the gold. I just wanted to look around the castle," I said to her explaining my role in the "team." She seemed to be paying very close attention to what I was saying and understood what I was doing wasn't for profit.

"Alright, I'm sorry for hurting you," she says to me.

"It's alrigh-AHHH!" I try to tell her but I lean on my sprained ankle and let out a scream before I fall and hit the ground knocking me out.

I wake up to sound of people talking.

"Will he be okay?" asks a familiar feminine voice.

"Yes he'll be okay. But he won't be able to move his ankle for a few days. He only got a grade one ankle sprain so nothing badly damaged. He just won't be able to walk around the castle, unless one of us is carrying him," said another voice. I slowly open my eyes to see that I'm on a big bed in a huge bedroom. I turn my head to the right to see a Hakutaku talking with the griffon from earlier. Everything felt weird and a tingly feeling was all over my body (Just imagine the feeling that you would have after your wisdom teeth are pulled, couldn't really know how else to describe it. So I decide to clarify what he's feeling here).

"Bwifffon?" I ask outloud and I stretch my arm to her like a child would. The griffon gently grabbed my hand and came closer to me.

"Is he alright?" the griffon asks the Hakutaku in a concerned tone. The griffon looks me in the eyes.

"Yes, he will act like this for about 5 and a half more minutes. Don't be so worried about him Hope," replies the Hakutaku as she looks at me and the griffon.

I turn my head to the Hakutaku and ask in a drowsy tone "Smart cow wamoon, do what two I?" She looks at me dumbfounded by my speech until it clicks in her.

"Oh I just gave you some medicine to heal your leg, don't worry Hope will take care off all your needs," she says to me.

It's been years since I have been here, but it's pretty nice besides the fact all the mamono in the castle fight for my attention. I have made peace with Hope and we get along really we'll. She sometimes even let's me be on top of her when she flies, in exchange to being on top of me during something else*cough* *cough* during the night. I have become friends with the Hakutaku know as Leah, she is the doctor/nurse of the castle. I have met dozens of others that live under Hope's protection in the castle. All in all, I'm actually really happy l was used as an escape goat, or I would have never met Hope and Leah.
