I awaken into a yell when someone threw a pale of water onto me, I look around my surroundings and immediately noticed that I'm in a cage too small for me to stand up in. there on the other side of the cage are two bowl one with water and one with some kind of soup within it.

I look up to see a smug-looking Griffon staring down on me, they were wearing bronze armour mixed with leather in it. 'Was this the same Griffons when I first saw one?' I question I looked beside them and noticed three others doing their own thing.

now that I'm not trying to run from them I began to see the differences between all of them, The one with bronze armour had a light shade of grey feathers with brown fur.

another one was sitting on a chair across from me sleeping with its arms crossed had cyan fur and white feather. I looked for another one who looked tired, they seemed to be upset, not sure why but they did. they had a white coat of fur and a lighter shade of feathers.

The last one is trying to cheer up the other but it didn't seem they could do anything or at least not much. they had brown fur with the same colour but just a lighter shade of feathers. it was hard to tell what gender they are having almost near to none information about their species.

I look towards my arm, leg and hands to see them all bandaged up. When I was done looking at my bandages I searched the room for anything. The place had cobblestone walls, no windows and a table. The only form of light in here came from candles which littered the place. In the corner of the room, my eyes landed on my jacket, backpack and the remains of my makeshift bandages. 'At least they picked up my stuff' I told myself, I would hate to lose any of it even the books.

I look back towards the Griffon in bronze, 'I'm gonna name you bronze, yeh I know ever creative' I told them which they gave me a confused look. They began to walk away towards a table which had shortswords, daggers, axes, come kind of coin and even an odd-looking ingot.

When they got to it they picked up the weird looking ingot and made their way back. when he was three feet away from my cage he showed me what he held in his hands. I looked at it, it looked like an ingot of silver with some kind of engravings into it and a gem slapped into the middle of it. The symbol on it started to glow a blue colour, I soon took notice of my right palm the same colour started to glow from under the bandage. "What did you do to me!" I shouted at them.

Then what I can only describe as electricity grew from my right hand and travelled throughout my body while this is happening my body starts to slump back from the pain. "Aaaahhh!" I screeched until the electricity dimmed back towards my right hand then it was gone as if it never happened.

I looked towards my hands to see that the bandages weren't affected by it at all, it made little sense. I looked back at bronze who had a smile on his beak, how that worked I didn't know but not only did they hunt me down but now they have a way to control me this made me livid. I wanted to get out of the cage and knock this fucker out but it wasn't gonna help in any way they would just zap me again I didn't want to find out if it could kill or not.

frustrated at this I looked towards the bowls and picked up the one with water and began to drink it as if it was in a cup. bronzed then walked away from me and left the device onto the table and started to talk to the other Griffons in the room, I didn't know what they said but they all walked out of the room and so did bronze. once they left the door was shut and locked, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I hear keys jumbling behind the door and then the mechanics within the lock begin to shift to reveal two Griffons on the other side one of them I recognised as bronzes bu the other is a different Griffin wearing a yellow tunic around their torso but with holes in the back to keep their wings free and with five small pouches on his hips.

'Another one, ill just name you yellow' i thought to myself trying to keep all the names simple so it's easier to remember

Yellow stared at me perplexed as to what I am, they began to speak "Quid est hoc viventem"

to which bronze replies "nescio, suus 'a Pugnator" Yellow oddly looked at me as if bronzes lied to him. "EGO got cogitavi professional venandi" Yellow looked towards bronze and finished with "quare sic Estne laesa!" almost yelling out

'Why the hell did he get so mad all of a sudden?' this piqued my interest why would they be mad at bronze, they did capture me isn't that what he wanted.

"it quod duxit nos in eam a draconis posueris nidum tuum" bronzed continued with "Currens auferetur a nobis" and again"invenimus eam quassatas" and continued to talk

I didn't bother to listen anymore not like I can understand them anyway. I let them bicker among themselves. My stomach let out a roar demanding for food I picked up the bowl of soup and took a whiff of it to be great by a putrid odder burning the insides of my nose, I then pinched my nostrils together and attempted to digest to which it was surprisingly ok it was by no mean good but just alright lacking any kind of meat within it.

once it was all gone both Griffons seem to come to an agreement with one another I didn't know if this was a good thing but with how everything has gone so far it probably wasn't.

Yellow then pulled out three of the five pouches and handed it over to Bronze who didn't seem satisfied with the amount but either way he grabbed the device and gave it to Yellow who then made it glowed slightly and looked towards me. 'You better not do that' Now having both my hands wrapped around the bars on the cage to which he then stopped the device from glowing to which I let go of the bars. Bronze picks up my now sleeveless jack and backpack and hands them over to Yellow and says something I didn't quite catch to which Yellow nodded to.

Then Bronze makes his way other my cage I move away from the door and let him open it, as the door opened I begin to make my way out of it. 'crap how am I suppose to escape while that device keeps me in line, maybe it has a max range.' now that was an interesting theory but not one I'm willing to test.

Once I'm out of the cage I start to stretch my arms and legs being in sleeping a cage didn't do wonders for my body I then look towards Yellow who seemed startled at my sudden movement, they give me back my jacket and backpack to which I put them both on. It made me feel a lot better to be reunited with my stuff maybe because it's my only thing I have from home or perhaps it was because it was something I'm familiar with in this alien world.

Yellow begins to walk outside of the room to reveal a hallway. I just stood there not understanding what's going on around me when Yellow is out of the room they turn around and see me not moving they then drew out the device so I made my way over pain starting to arise from my legs and arms.

they started to move walk down the hallway to which I followed. I looked towards them and begin to notice a smile upon his face it wasn't one of smugness but one pleasant surprise that I followed them before he had to use it. when I got close to them I notice more details about them and figured that they are in fact a he.

within the hallway are rooms like my very own each door had Latin numerals on it. 'Wait have they been talking Latin this whole time?' then it started to crash down upon me. 'That sign didn't it say imperium on it, if it did then I'm pretty sure it thinks means empire.' How do they know Latin, last time I check Latin came from Europe and I'm pretty sure Griffons and Dragon aren't in Europe but then again they shouldn't even exist, it's starting to make more sense if I was on a different planet altogether which made no sense because then they shouldn't know Latin.

The more I stay in this place the more I feel like I'm in a coma on a hospital bed. while walking down the hallway one of the room doors are opened when walking past I take a look in to see Griffon but what stood out from them was the symbol burnt on to their neck. when I figure that it may be something to do with culture or maybe a brutal version of a tattoo.

Soon enough we found our selves at a staircase at the top of was a Griffon who sat on a stool while making our way up to them beside the Griffon was a door with a peephole on it, not the ones made out of glass but the ones that you would find in a prison cell.

Once we reached the top the Griffon then opened the door for us to exit to which Yellow did and I followed when we got outside the Griffon slammed the door shut and closed the peephole while they were at it. 'that's not sketchy at all' I sarcastically thought. on the outside, it appears that we are in an alleyway. 'yep totally not sketchy' I sarcastically remarked again.

I checked to see what Yellow might think of this but it didn't seem to bother him at all, he then started to walk away from the door into the open streets. Once I'm out of the alley I felt the suns warmth land on me it felt much better out here than it did in that cage.

I look around the streets while following Yellow and I noticed that there is a road and a pavement I look along the road to spot a carriage being pulled by small colourful horses? 'I think they are just called ponies, ye that sounds about right ponies stay small while horses grow much bigger but why are they so bright' I remembered when my biology teacher always talks about the slight differences between animals and I didn't need to know that humans apparently share 50% of their DNA with bananas. I took one last glance at them and see that one of them also have the same mark on them like the Griffon in that room does but this time it was on their butt it looked like it covered something underneath it but I couldn't tell what.

I looked back to the path and see that each time I walk past a Griffon they looked either shocked, impressed or disgusted towards me. 'Have they never seen a human before?' I mean I never have seen a Griffon either until I arrived here but there are well over 7 billion of us surely they have heard about us. 'Ok maybe I'm not on my planet anymore but why do they speak Latin then and how did I even get here.' while in thought it seemed that I've started slack behind Yellow and accidentally shoved someone I looked towards them and see them twirl around to give me an ear full until they looked up to me and noticed my shadow completely conceals them under, Once they looked straight at my face they backed off.

Yellow took notice of this and reached into his pocket. 'Hell no, I not getting fried again because they got scared of me' I thought. I quickly got back next to Yellow's side he saw this and stop on his search within his pockets and began talking to the other Griffon. I felt relieved that he didn't pull out that device.

When he was done talking to them he turned to me giving me a Death glare but carried on walking afterwards, When he gazed towards me I felt like I would just drop dead right then and there for my simple mistake Already ahead of me again I make sure that I don't get in the way of anyone even if I towered over them.

Eventually, we arrived at a building there were two guards in front of the door it was oddly large even for me and I'm taller than these Griffons. Once we got in front of them, Yellow begins to tell them something to which one of the guards opens the door allowing us to go through.

The building looked nice it had clay tiles on the roof, bricks for the walls and even glass windows. On the inside, the place radiated wealth from marble floors and pillars to statues and paintings littering the place I couldn't help but look around in awe.

we came to a holt I looked towards Yellow to see that he's looking at something, I then looked at what he is staring at to see another Griffon wearing a purple tunic. They begin to walk towards us and nods at Yellow. They both started to talk to one another to which I didn't bother to listen but now that Griffon was close I can see that they are covered in jewellery such as rings, earrings and a necklace they had yellow fur and orange feathers. 'I take it that they must own this place and yellow would be a more fitting name for you.'

The purple tunic Griffon inspected me from the bottom of my shoes to top of my head trying to figure me out, they nodded at me with a smile. Then shouted something to an open door that resided of the other side of the room. The shoat spooked me a little I thought I did something wrong there for a second, I looked towards the door to see a minotaur with a Griffon in armour they both make their way towards us.

'Griffons, dragons, wooden wolfs, colour full ponies and now minotaur' not just any minotaur but one that is a mountain of muscles reaching at least over two metres in height. when they both reach me the minotaur brings out their hand in front of me. 'At least I know what this means' to which I brought my own hand out and shaked his, to say that they have a strong grip would be an understatement by the end of it my hand was aching. while shaking his hand he also had the symbol I keep seeing but it was on top of his right hand. Once my hand was out of the beartrap of a handshake I rubbed it a little to try to stop the aching, this only made the minotaur snicker at me.

The purple Griffon told him something, the minotaur then nodded and said something back to them after that I'm grabbed by my shoulder to be pulled elsewhere.

we found ourselves by a door once opened it reveal that in the middle of the building had a large open area that had racks of weapons off to the side, small wooden poles sticking out of the ground with rows of three each row having five they are all had at least one metre and a half apart from one another some of the poles are worn as if people have been slashing at them, the entire place was surrounded by the building it was like a small compound of soldier training on the inside. The minotaur leads me off to the right side which had rows of doors about twelve of them, they begin to take me to one and opens it to show that the walls and floor are made from concrete, there was also mattress on the floor and a small set of drawer. I walk inside the room then the and shuts behind me. 'I need to get out of here as soon as possible.'
