Gryphonians

Flying through the sky was amazing. The wind whistled in my fur and feathers. My translucent eye lids protected my brown eyes. I hovered. My tail lashed back and forth. I flexed my claws in and out ready for a hunt. Movement caught my eye. I silently dove into a tree. Rabbit, I thought, sniffing the air. First time out of the tribe, and I already found my first prey. My padded feet made no sound as I slowly stalked towards my target. I saw the rabbit in the undergrowth. It stopped and sniffed the air for predators. My training taught me well. Stay on the leeward side of the wind, so you could smell your prey, but they can't smell you. Get as close as you can, then pounce quickly. The information was drilled into my mind. I could never forget it. I slowly creeped forward. 5 yards away. 3 yards. 2. CRACK! I cursed under my breath. I was so focused on the distance and different strategies for dispatching my prey, that I forgot about the dead foliage scattered every where. The rabbit dashed away. The chase was short, but longer than it should have been. The rabbit ran into a bramble of thorns. I sighed. Glancing at the sky, I noticed that it was almost time for meal. My mother and father would be expecting me soon too. I flew back into the sky. It would take a while to get back to the tribe since we took extra precautions.
