Blooding

What's her name? She doesn't know. Neither do they.

But they know she is a Griffon, a witch and an intolerable member of their village.
Lusik is a drake, one of the ten tasked with killing her. He loves her; he and her don't know this. He is also a coward.

This tale takes place in an arctic world of limbo, a village on the precipice of time and a cursed iceshelf. The price of the Red Griffon's name - is her blood.
