The girl had long lilac hair that was tied into a braid. She was wearing a brown dress, up to the knees and had what looked liked golden feathers on her shoulders. Air was blowing towards the group as the griffin she was riding on kept on flapping his enormous eagle wings.

" We have come from Myrian!" Destiny yelled. The wind blew her hood off and her white locks began to show.

" You must be princess Destiny and her fellow friends from Creania. Am I wrong?" the strange girl asked. She began to fly down calmly.

" No, you are not mistaken," Lucas said calmly. " But how did you know—".

" That you were coming?" she finished his sentence for him. " Our princess told us. Let's get a move on now. You guys just be tired and hungry. Follow me and I'll take you around the capital of Grazedore!".

" Why not we follow her? She seems nice," Aymer said almost about to draw his sword before his sister put a hand over it.

" Let's not be hasty, we should wait 'till we have more information," Scarlett yawned. She was feeling a little blank after just woken up from being knocked out cold.

" Okay then! Follow me," the girl said walking to the entrance gate. Once the group entered they found themselves in a beautiful, but vivacious town! The streets decorated in great ribbon and the stores flooding with people.

" Gosh just what is going on here?" Claire asked.

" The griffin festival!" the lilac haired said excitedly. The group just stared at her with a blank look. " Oh, I'm sorry, but you have never been here before. How about we start over?"

" Uhh, sure," Destiny said.

The girl stretched out her hand and said," My name is Kishi what are all yours?".

" Well, I'm Claire, pleasure to meet'cha," Claire said with a small bow.

" I'm Lucas, but you probably know me already," Lucas said.

" I'm Des–" she began.

" Oh, I already know who you are!" Kishi said.

" I'm Aymer, your safety is my duty," he said going on one knee and taking her hand to kiss it.

" Oh what a gentleman!" Kishi said pulling her hand away. Her griffin seemed to have gotten annoyed by the fact Aymer did that, but he dealt with it.

" I'm Scarlett," she said shaking her hand. They looked each other in the eye with death stares. " I know what your planning, stupid griffin," Scarlett said in a low voice.

" Do you really?" Kishi said playfully. " Well now that we have properly met each other, time for me to explain. The griffin festival is a 3 night event where people celebrate the coming of our land. When this happens, the princess and everyone participating will sing The Chant and Spirit Dance. The chant and spirit dance is our prayer to the gods to thank them for our land and to ask for great health throughout the next year. Luckily enough, you guys have made it to the second night of this great celebration. Which means that you will participate, but the festival starts right after dinner so I'll make sure you have a place to stay first".

Time Skip

They began to walk around the town until Kishi showed them to an inn.

" Well, we're here!" Kishi said pointing to the "run down" inn.

" Well it looks very 'nice' I guess," Claire said. You expect me to sleep in that little run down thing?! Claire protested in her mind.

" Yes. Yes I do. This is the closest inn I could find that wasn't already taken up by a lot of people, plus it's one of the closest ones to the palace, so you better enjoy it while you can. Also, free service is on me, unless of course you want to sleep somewhere else, then I can totally find you a nice box on the street," Kishi said, mostly intending this to Claire.

" I'll deal with it then, but if you don't mind me asking, why is it so run down?" Claire asked.

" To be honest, it's really not," Kishi replied. She walked in through the "tattered" banners and they all followed. The inn was beautiful, it actually had marbled beams and paintings of beautiful flowers from Andromeda. The walls were lined with a bit of gold. It was like a castle fit for royalty.

" This place is absolutely amazing!!" Aymer yelled excited.

" Kide- I mean Kishi, it seems you brought guest again," a man said from the front desk.

" Make sure they're comfortable Kido, I wouldn't want our special guests to not feel at home," Kishi said.

" I know that, but who's in charge here again?" the man asked.

" You," Kishi said annoyed. She looked at the clock, " Well I gotta go! I'll see you guys at the festival in a bit! Oh, and meet by the bonfire!!!!".

" Finally she's gone," Kido sighed. " Oh, please, take a seat. You guys must be tired from your journey".They followed as instructed and took their seats on the comfortable sofas.

" So does Kishi have a room prepared or something?" Lucas asked. His legs were aching and he was just about to go starving if Kishi wouldn't have found them.

" Yeah we have a room for you guys, I'm her older brother by the way, Kido, nice to meet you all!" Kido said friendly. He got up from the couch and went behind the desk. When he came back to the seats he was holding a set of three keys. " Your room number is three on the second floor. You can rest for a while there and then we'll call you guys down for dinner".

" We?" Scarlett asked. Ding! A bell suddenly rung and a group of two men and four women came out from different portals. One, led to the laundry room, another led to the kitchen, whilst the others led to the different floors.

" That's interesting," Destiny said.
