He gripped his claw around my neck then threw me towards the wall. The feathers on my skin began to molt from my skin. Everyone inside the court gasped and when I looked up from being thrown to the wall with great impact, he was there again then he picked me up by my shirt. "A child!" he shouted. I had to act fast and think to whatever the hell I was gonna do to keep me alive, so I hesitated then I showed him the gauntlet I'd worn to keep me to that creature phase or form. He then dropped me and grabbed my wrist where the gauntlet was before I hit the golden floor. That's right...it's golden.

 He was confused or looked like he was and asked where I got it and he said this ws an ancient relic I'm wielding. "Go home, kid. You have no business here" he turned back but before he could another step I shouted back at him,"No!". He stopped then turned his head to me a bit. "You dare talk back at me!?" he propelled upward then flew towards me, luckily with the gauntlet, I was able to change to my bird phase. "You fight with skill, human" he stepped back with ease and then hit me with his claw fist.

 Adrenaline rushed in me and I reacted fast enough to evade, but the following blows were hard to dodge since he punched like the speed of the wind. Elwin was just lying on the floor watching with his head raised a bit, and so did the creatures in  hooded robes. I meant they were covering their faces with hoods and it made it darker inside...of their faces. The gryphon's attacks pushed on ranging from punches, jabs and knee hits and also upper cuts. Those were most of the hits I took from him. The only ones I did land on him were some limpy punches and jabs. Our fight went from down the ground then from the air. We both raced chasing one another landing many of our hits then he suddenly let out a sonic scream that blew me back and I crashed on the wall again.

 "You're good at this" he readied his punch at my face and instead hit the golden wall. Then I pushed him back at the wall colliding him right at it. "Stop at once" I heard a staff pound the golden floor and he stopped and I also did stop. The gryphon landed down safely then he returned back to his throne. The lights illuminated brightly when there was a loud thump. Before me were a tree, a siren, a faerie and the gryphon that fought against me. Hey, at least the fifth one isn't here.
