Where was I. The last I remember I was flying there was a war in my homeland had been that way for many years I was a lieutenant in the air core along with any creature that could fly. I'm a griffin if you don't know what that is its a half eagle half lion to be more precise my head and front legs were that of the eagle from my chest to my back legs were that of the lion. I also have a human form but it's rare I was in that form. Anyways as I was flying and fighting with flying demon there was a flash of light then we were falling to the ground. Next thing I was laying on the huge rock in serve pain I realized my right wing was broken and right front leg and maybe a few of my ribs. There was no sight of the demon, but a noise made me jump there a few feet from me stood a human. He looked just as shocked as I was. I didn't recognize his scent or much of anything else so when he started to come toward me I growled in warning to back off. A woman's voice distracted him just long enough I could use a invisibility spell. I didn't recognize the language they spoke, and I studied every known language back home. So this only meant one thing that demon had opened a portal to a different realm and sent me though it. Just wonderful I have to heal then maybe I can figure out where I am and if I can go back home. I managed to get to a near by cave even make a small nest it will take about three days maybe more for me to heal, and I'm unable to shift to my human form until then. I was wondered how I was going to get food. I was in to much pain to move more then a few feet then I was worried about the humans what if they try to kill me in my weakened state. I was in luck that the cave had a small fresh water spring. I tried to sleep but I couldn't I was in alot of pain and hungry. I drank some water in hopes it would fill me up enough I could sleep the more I slept the faster I could heal. I heard a noise there was that guy from before. He was holding his hands up in a sign he meant no harm. I didn't understand a word he was saying but he pulled some kind of container out of his backpack. The container had food in it and it smelt great. He sat it on the ground and pushed it toward me. It was steak and very good I ate it rather quickly never taking my eyes off the guy. He had bandages in his pack also I definitely didn't want him that close to me. I could tell he only wanted to help, but everytime he tryed to get close to me I would snap my beak at him. Eventually he gave up. I also noticed blankets in his pack though there was snow on the ground more then like it came through the port with me because it's gone now and it was very warm out. It was winter back home. He layed the blankets near my nest surely he didn't intend on staying here, I was relieved when he stood gave me a small smile said something and left. Thank goodness I really needed to sleep I wish I would of taken the time to learn one of the many healing spells. I never thought I would need it I mean that's why we had healers for. I did move the blankets into my nest to make it more comfortable. I was actually able to sleep I was woken by the same guy  he smiled and had food for me eggs, bacon strips, toasted bread and some milk he poured into a bowl. Again he tryed to help to see if I would let him wrap my wounds. I still didn't know if I could trust him. Though there was something about him I never put to much thought into having any type of relationship or any family outside the core. We weren't allowed to there were a few who got chosen to sire the next generation, but the higher ups are the ones chosen and even then they don't get to help in raising the child. I don't why I thought that with this guy and even get it was possible to have a family, children of my own. Your thinking I'm a male and he's also a male but you see in my world it doesn't matter both males and females can have children. I had taken that option long ago in hopes it would open more possibilities to me on having children. Even if I wouldn't be able to be with the children or the person who was chosen to be my partner. Why was I even thinking about this I didn't even trust the guy enough to help treat my wounds. Maybe in a few more days once I have time to heal I can change to my human form and go with him to his village or where ever he lives. Then maybe I can figure out where I am and if there was anyway I can go home. He sat with me for about an hour or so then left again, but yet again he returned with more food. This time I wasn't watching him and he was able to touch me. We both froze there staring at each other. His eyes that where two different colors flashed a darker color,and his scent changed slightly. He gasped seemed to be worried but what about. I was more willing to let him treat my wounds now, but he quickly left. Well guess I need to find out and I was healed enough I could at least move I just still couldn't fly. I could of followed him but I watched him as he left and he shifted to a wolf. We had werewolves back home even a few in the ground core, but they still aren't the friendliest creatures. So I decided to stay here for now.
