Large rumbles sounded from the rocky Summit of Mount Everest.
The rumbles sounded as if a large stampede of frightened elks were trying to escape from a massive predator. Tired snorts echoed and encircled the mountain[s] and the beating of hooves against slippery ice only grew louder.
Few moments passed, and the sound of hooves stopped abruptly.
Atop the very peak held a long ledge, and atop that long ledge stood a creature with the head and ears of an eagle, and the body of a powerful lion.
It's coat was a shaggy brown -- in contrast to the sharp black talons it claimed. Speckles of feathers dashed across the ribs and snout of the Gryphon.
Massive, well-sculpted muscles bulged from every portion of the beast and its wide chest rose and fell with heavy abnormal breathes. Huge, deep crimson eyes stood still and stared with an uneasy, unsettling look. These eyes held all the wisdom of atrocious tragedies in the world.
It was odd how gentle yet threatening the animal looked; considering the large wings it carried along its broad shoulders. These wings pointed to the heavens and stood upright with intimidation. Sharp talons protruded from each tip of the wings, making it an even more lethal weapon.
The beast would watch you in distaste, waiting for you to state your claim as to why your presence was made.
