The Royal Clan

Mayra And Tonrunn, have been traveling for days eating what lived in the woods and staying away from the Griffin towns. While Mayra is capable of fighting he is still unused to his new body so his actions will be sloppy and uncoordinated, it is also easy to tell that the Griffin inhabitants only truly care for money. In a way it reminded the Half witcher of his full-blooded brothers, he was glad he took the Experimental trial, otherwise he would have been just like these Griffin.

On the Fifth day they have reached an endless ocean, Tonrunn whistled, "Uncle Mayra this ocean is large and deep, we should be careful crossing it, It is very likely that it will have wild powerful storms. Worse than the ones in The Southern realm, also we should expect pirates and anything else. We do not know this territory, it may have other dangers than we have seen so far." Mayra nodded in agreement, always expecting the unexpected, that is what he was taught.

"Only issue little Tonrunn, we need to cross this ocean, and I will not be flying. Well not over that! So we need to find other forms of transportation like a boat, and other possible cheaper routes, I have pelts that I could sell. So we will have some money at least, Little Tonrun will you hide in my bag please?"

Tonrunn looked disgusted, "You mean the bag with the heads and Witcher potions? No thank you! Both of those make me wish to throw up, it will make me smell like death!" Mayra sighed but nodded, she was correct, he does have those trophies with him. He reached into his bag and pulled out the head of Ancient Leshen, and Tonrunn looked disgusted.

"I suppose I should dispose of this, It seems it has no purpose now." He put the Head back into the bag as he will throw the heads into the ocean to never be seen again. He looked to Torunn and sighed, how will her get to Akky safely, he needs transportation and needs it now. Then a loud whistled, punctured the silence, and before long he could make out the sound of metal grinding on metal.

A long snake of tracks could be seen and he could see a cloud of dark smoke rise from behind a mountain, He was confused by what was making this noise, that's when he saw it. A steel Train was charging across the landscape, Mayar's jaw dropped, he heard that some humans were making a Train, a steel box able to carry humans across the world with great speed. Though to see one is completely different, the train came to the Train station and the brakes slammed on, The air was filled with the loud screech of metal on metal.

What he was was that most of the smoke was from the engine some of it was from the train car, it was on fire! He charged into action and sprinted towards the burning train, His wings shot open. Was he gliding!? His body was gliding without his conscious action? He smirked And landed on top of the burning train, on top of a Storage car. He jumped from car to car until he reached a Passenger car, he heard screaming and cursing. He jumped inside and instantly his eyes burned and he was choking on smokey air, He sent a wave of Aard, shattering the glass inside the Train card. though he heard screams of surprise, Quickly the smoke started to dissipate. When the smoke was mostly clear, Mayra looked surprised to see, horses? He shook his head, later, now save as many as possible!

He pulled out his steel sword and ran past the surprised horses, they all looked at his sword terrified, he kept running and entered a new train car this one was actually on fire and not just smoking. He looked in his potion bag and gulped, no Frost potions? He was sure he packed some, he sighed if Aard could blast away the fire maybe he could stop the fire, He sighed.

He slammed his right paw onto the ground and leveled his left paw in a focused blast of Aard, the resounding shockwave made horses scream in terror as it sounded like an explosion. Though the fire was erased from existence, The room cleared and in this train car, he saw stripped horses? White horses with grey stripes, Focus! He pushed forward and stomped on the embers of the fire. He sprinted to the door at the end of the car and tries to open it but it was melted closed, He sighed. An slammed the door with all his mite, Just before a huge cloud of smoke entered the train he screamed, "EVERYONE OFF THIS TRAIN NOW!" The Horses took little encouragement and rushed off the train.

He entered the third train car and the smell hit him like a brick, the smell of burnt flesh, he had to contain the fire at least! He charged inside the car and blasted a wave of Aard, the sign cleaned the smoke from the room. He saw the huge fire in the room that was burning with such intense heat it was insane! He blasted Aard as fast as possible through it was draining his energy, normal witchers could do this for a while, he was not normal. He was less than normal, he was weaker and more agile. This made him wish he was a full witcher, he danced around the fire like he was in a ball listening to music, Flipping, and prancing around the fire blasting the ground with Aard with all his might. The fire was getting weaker but not fast enough! He knew he was not the best, though he was assisted by a spray of water that left him and the fire soaked. He looked around to see what caused the fire and his cat eyes narrowed, Broken glass, a faint smell of alcohol. His eyes picked up traits common to A struggle, Random broken glass, his nose picked up the faint smell of blood. This wasn't an accident, This train was attacked, He looked at the windows and his eyes widened in realization. He saw arrows on the outside of the train, Broken glass under the windows, he sighed. This was an attack by bandits, and by the looks of it, well-armed bandits. A gryphoness entered the room and took one look at the soaking Mayra and laughed.

He chuckled also, Then she got her serious look and asked, "Do you know why this happened?"

He sighed and nodded, "All traits are common for a well-armed group of bandits, though where they are and how many are pointless. All I know is this fire was no accident, they shot out the windows and then fired well a fire arrow into this room igniting the alcohol. Apparently, there was a bar fight right before the attack, It couldn't be a coincidence. The timing and the fact that none of the alcohol has been cleaned makes me suspect an inside job. Also by the fact, there was a fire in the other room and not just here, makes me believe someone wanted this train to burn. But who and why? What motive would be so important?"

The Gryphoness sighed, "Well just call me Sierra, is one of the delegates to Equestria, most ponies think Griffins are just blind mindless fools or worse money hoarders who would do anything for the extra cash. I hated that, Though you seem different almost like that Dragon, wolf, and Pony I saw in the Capitol." Dragon and Wolf? Ahh I see Akky you stinky genius. Join a government and your face will be all over the planet than all your friends can find you, you have always been a genius.

"Yes I am actually part of his team, Akky Wolf, is the name he most likely gave you am I correct?" Sierra frowned and nodded, "Well JUst between you and me his full name is actually Akky ZexHro Zex meaning starry and Hro meaning sky. He calls himself Starry night though it's like his nickname, ZexMefro, Wolf language is something I lack in. I was not trained in wolf talk, so I may have mispronounced some of it." Sierra's jaw dropped.

"If you know him so well who are you!?" 3 options, Vinicio, Jeettendra, or -

"Mayra the Lost Witcher of the School of Dragon." Sierra gasped, and stared at Mayra, she was warned of his might it seems. Defeating Akky in a one-on-one fight with only one sword, its worthy of praise, it's like a human taming a Dragon. It's just impossible, though he did it.

"Akky wants to know about Tonrunn, Is she okay?" Mayra nodded and walked out of the train with Sierra behind him.

"She is fine, I don't allow anything to hurt my allies if I can help it." They reached the woods and Mayra shouted, "Tonrunn we have a visitor who will help us get to father." The little wolf jumped out of a bush taking Sierra by surprise.

Tonrunn was just a normal Grey wolf but one main difference, was her eyes larger than most wolf species also her fur was actually covered in galaxies, though they only show at night under unnatural light. Like Fires or flashlights, moonlight is also capable of showing the Galaxies ad they seem to glow in the dark, after absorbing enough light. They are often called Celestial Or Galaxy wolfs, their fur is considered priceless and sold at extremely high prices, Often in the millions. This is why their species are hunted for their pelts, though while Tonrunn is the last of these wolves she will not be the last.

"Daddy?! Where is he miss Griffins?" Sierra's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped, She's so adorable! In an instant, she hugged the small wolf making the pup yelp in surprise. Mayra did nothing as he did not feel hostile intent.

"Oh, she's so adorable! I wish I had a cub that looked like you!" Tonrunn blushed but hugged back.

"I wonder how daddy is doing?" That question made Sierra wince and both Mayra and Tonrunn sigh. "I see Pa is in a bad way?" Sierra nodded, "He can be so stupid sometimes. We all know this. When can we go see him?"

Sierra sighed and looked at the burning train, "Since train would be faster than a boat, and the train is out of commission, For ponies that train would a few days to repair. Sadly for most of this sad lot, it will take a few days to get the crafters here and another week to get it finished while waiting for proper supplies. So in total two weeks, And Akky really wants to see you." Mayra thought for a second before speaking.

"What about a boat?" The Griffin shuddered.

"That is a no go, recently something strange entered these waters. It sings a lovely song and it seems to hypnotize prey before eating it." A siren? Seriously.

"Maybe I should pay this creature a visit? After all, this is what I was made for, OH, and by the way, it's a siren. A creature that attacks anyone and its song is used to, well not hypnotize, the song is used to attract others. I have found no evidence that it mind controls anything. So I take care of this Siren and you either pay me or get me a ride, I'm so terribly short on money, If you please?" Sierra nodded, then he looked to Tonrunn, "Come on Kiddo." Sierra's jaw dropped.

"If you take her please let me follow!"

Mayra looked at her and sighed, "Fine! Just do what Tonrunn does and stay out of my way please?" Sierra nodded, "Good, Now show me where these reports have been found."

Sierra lead the group to the Ocean to a ledge, they missed the town by a few miles, though that was not his concern. The Cliff was 100 feet up from the ocean, Not dangerous if the water was deep enough, but could prove deadly if shallow. The area around them was clear of trees, and actually looked unstable, nothing but dirt and grass.

"Why are we here?" Sierra sighed, oh this should be good.

"This Siren seems to only be around at night." Typical monsters. "Though I have found a way to summon one, one day when a fishing crew was searching the coast, they found a Corpse of a pony half ate, we investigated and the pony was looking for gems inside a cave. This cave is right below us, So I assume that Siren lives in the caves." Mayra sighed in annoyance.

"Fine!"
