Aurora Interval

A fantasy written as paranormal, Aurora Interval takes the mythos of Gryphons, and gives it a new frame in which to stand. A war waged by Wardens and Guardians, calls for a protector to house one of the keys to Time's freedom. This key, that is hidden by the Guardians, is placed in a soul, and that soul is imbued with the means to protect itself; the ability to turn into a Gryphon. The Wardens iniquitous champions are also granted a new form in order to hunt the concealed key. Eons span as the war's circuitous motions play out over and over again. The game shifts when a normal human girl get's thrown into the mix. A desperate protector, running from the Warden's champion and close to the gates of death, grants her Time's key.
Nirrek, a Junior Conservation Officer, has enough on her plate with: the bear season starting tomorrow, a tourist that she can't dissuade from pursuing her, and a school visit to educate children on the wildlife of the frigid Yukon Boreal Forest. Now she has to figure out why she eats more than a starved teenage boy and runs at a clinically dangerous temperature. Her luck takes a turn for the worst when she wakes up in the middle of the forest, naked, in the snow, and with no memory of what had brought her there. To her horror, and mortification, Nirrek is found in this compromising position by the very tourist she had been trying to avoid. He wants the truth, but can she tell him what she, herself, can't even face?
