Borate of Dunmore-Beautiful Beast
Alomar still pondered over Shana’s revelation the next day. He didn’t have the chance to ask her about it at the time because their father started shouting from the base of the hills, and once home, all talk of gryphons was put on hold.
Still in shock from actually touching the beast, Alomar marveled at its beauty. Most gryphons were described as brown and gold in color, with white wings. While Borate did have white wings, they were more in some unfathomable way that Alomar couldn’t quite decipher. It’s almost like they glow, he mused.
The most magnificent part of the beast in Alomar’s opinion was his underbelly, which was a blue to match the sky, with ripples of darker hues mixed in. Alomar knew if Borate flew above him on a clear day, he would blend seamlessly with the heavens.
Borate’s powerful beak and talons concerned Alomar on another level. He worried they would one day be used against his people. Although Borate seemed taken with Shana, who knew what lurked in the mind of such a beast.
