You turn right and wander down the twisting passage until you find your path once again blocked by one of the evil sorcerer's pets. Or employees. Whatever they are, you find yourself standing face to face with one, a fearsome-looking male gryphon. He has the body of a leopard, his pelt white with blue-gray spots, and the head and wings of a snowy owl, his feathers white with pale gray bars. He's absolutely gorgeous, but the way he stares at you with unblinking golden eyes is rather creepy. You've never met a gryphon before, and aren't sure how intelligent they might be.
