~ Naofumi and I walked around the the area looking at the cages~
Y/n: *whispers* "Yo Naofumi are you sure about being in here." Naofumi: "I mean he said slavery was legal, let's see what he has to offer."
~Naofumi walked ahead with the mysterious man and I saw something in a cage that looked interesting. I pulled off the tarp covering the rather large cage, and I saw something only heard of in myths, a Griffon~

Y/n: "Woah, an actual Griffon!" Slave Trader: "I wouldn't recommend buying that one. It's only level 5 but he's strong. Griffons are rare and not hard to tame but as he grows it becomes really rebellious and may kill you as it's owner. And that one was recently taken away from its mother Y/n: "Uhhhh, well then."
~As I began to turn around and head to where Naofumi was, the griffon walked up to the gate of the cage and gave a small growl as if he didn't want me to go. I turned around and knelt down and looked at it. He looked into my eyes sadly and I put my hand through the cage. The griffon backed up a little thinking I was going to hurt him. He then came up the cage and put his head onto my hand.~
Y/n:(Wow, the lion fur mixed with the eagle feathers is so soft. He looks so sad, I can't leave him here like this.) "Hey slave trader guy, I want him. I don't care about the consequences I may face." Slave trader: "Are you sure?" Y/n: "Positive." Slave trader: *laughs creepily* "I like you two."
~Time passed, I bought the griffon using the rest of the sliver I had left. I'm holding the griffon with a chain and Naofumi got himself a slave named Raphtalia. Apparently there had to be a procedure to contract them as slave. I saw Naofumi put his blood in a mixture and watched Raphtalia in pain as the slave trade put the mixture on a marking on her chest~
Slave trader: "Alright sir Rogue Hero, bring the griffon over here."
~I tried to bring the griffon over to the slave trader but felt him forcing himself to not move. I looked at him and knew this wasn't right. I petted his head and walked up to the slave trader~
Y/n: "I know this is stupid but I'm not gonna need that contract bind thing. I prefer to build my relationship on trust not forcing someone to obey me." Slave trader: "You know that will make it way easier for the griffon to disobey and rebel against you right." Y/n: "Yes, I'm aware." Slave trader: "Alright then, hopefully you'll return next time."
~The trader taught me how to tame the griffon so I could see his health bar and level but only I can see it. Then we walked out of the building ~ Timeskip
~It was morning time and Naofumi had plans to take Raphtalia to get a weapon and new clothes and train. Since I was left alone I decided to take my griffon out to train as well. Me and him were walking outside of the city~
Y/n: "I guess I need to give you a name don't I?"
~He looks at me in an interested manner~
Y/n: "Looks like you can understand me a little bit. Well how about Arashi, I think that fits you well."
