It was Spark.
The goblins understood that something invaded her lair but it was too late to stop the menacing griffon.
He escaped running outside the broken walls , killing one of the goblins which tried to grab Valena from his back with one blow of his powerful paw.
The terrible witch came after them but the flying creature had already gained high in the dark sky and soon he disappeared in the night.
The griffon headed north with the girl in his back still trying to understand what happened.
Eventually they reached a white forest far beyond the lands of the humans.
There the creature at last, left the barefoot girl softly on the ground.
The white willows around them thickened their canopies in order to hid and protect her from the breezing winds.
The male griffon had reached the misty Shadow Lands where animals and plants was very different from those of the south.
Meanwhile far away in the southlands Dorian had started to work in every hard job that the humans offered him.
