((Intended as impromptu lesson about wings and whatever else foals/herdmates want to ask the friendly resident gryphon, so anyone else is welcome to pop in))

There was satisfaction to be found, if one thought to ask the silvery gryphon about what she thought of living with horses. More in this place than anywhere before. She was one of the herd's members, but did not live amongst the trees that sheltered them. No, she had discovered these cliffs that lined the sea-ward border and had been thrilled. A cave a few dozen feet below the cliff-top on which she now rested served as her home, accessed by a narrow ledge only a small flying creature could reach, such as herself.

The waters that surged and rumbled below served as a buffet for the fish-eating gryphon, and reminded her of home. Didn't you know she was from far away to the south and east, and grew up in a location much like the one she had staked out now? Its true. It was because of this that she stayed. That and her friends, and the chance to learn. And, in the process, the opportunity the teach arose from time to time.

But for now she rested, stretched out on a patch of dark, bare stone, easily visible to the eye both ignorant and watchful in all her silvery-grey splendor. Golden eyes watched the distant waters that were deceivingly quiet, while ear tufts were angled back, listening for the sound of another's approach. She half expected the company of Rishima and Kali, in truth, for the little griffon was always an excellent playmate, and the mare a friend. The pair were her reason for being here in the first place. But she would not complain should someone else choose to seek her company, for whatever reason.

Azale Moniet

Today was the day; the day that Azale would finally put her two sets of wings to some kind of use. They were intriguing features, but they served her no purpose. Azale's wings were little more than accessories to her. She was tired of being flightless and having four wings when she had met horses with two wings who flew better than her. Who was she kidding? Azale doesn't fly. She can't.

Azale flapped her wings wildly, sweat dripping down her brow. Her wings had no coordination, they simply beat against the air in random patterns. Frustration radiated off the pale filly. It glowed in her bright orange orbs and showed in her angered white face. Why wasn't it working? Azale was flapping her wings, just like the others did it!

"I give up!" Azale cried, falling to her knees while sobbing. She would never be able to fly like the other pegasi. She was doomed to be a flightless pegasus her whole life. How could her day get any worse? Well, tears certainly wouldn't help.

After realizing this, Azale stopped her crying and gazed longingly up at the sky. She was a creature of the sky, born with wings to sail a sea not of water, but of air. Her eyes then trailed to the endless water, and finally rested upon a silver-gray figure on the side of the cliff. It had wings and claws and a beak and the slender body of a cat! What a spectacular creature it was. Azale simply had to say hi.

"E - excuse me?" Azale called over the side of the cliff, still laying down and sniffling. She would be kind, she always was. Now all she had to worry about was if the creature below would be friendly as well.
