[Chasing Dreams]

Finally got this put back into my saved drawings ^w^

How do I adopt?-
Hook-Beak Gryphons are companion animals. To adopt one, most of the contests will be writing a story about how you encountered your Hook-Beak. The artist may choose to do an auction or some other type of contest like art, it all depends on who is putting it up for adoption.

This male is a show off. He lives in a large flock, and loves to be the center of attention. When ever he can, this big guy will be showing off his colorful feathers.

To win him, write a story about you gaining his trust. The story should be fairly short.

Short Story: as climbed, seeking the perfect companion of the so wonderful species, hook-beaked gryphons, to take with me. They're was a large group ahead and as i came closer more and more was i looked at curiously by all of them, so many varieties and colors. But i saw at the center of the flock a very color full male on, he seemed to be showing off, and enjoying being the at the center of attention, even mine. As i approached others of the small gryphons moved and flapped around. i sat on a rock, seeing if i could get the gryohon to trust me. i held out my hand as the showy lil male approached curious. He tilted his head looking at me. i pulled a water living plant from my bag that i had picked up from my journey. The gryphon walked closer to inspect what was in my hand and so was carefully sitting on my knee and eating out of my hand. after a few hours of feeding him and just watching him sit there i decided to go, i got up to go but was stopped by the little gryphon flying up onto my shoulder to come with me. I had earned his trust and he mine now.

((hope its not to long XD i tried to shorten it up as much as i could))

Name: Gyro
Short Story:
I quickly make my way through the green, thick forests around me, clutching my leather-bound journal tightly in my hands. My heart pounds with excitement, but I constantly remind myself to stay calm or I'll scare the beautiful creature away. Finally, I come to the small clearing and am relieved to see that it still lies in a feathery heap, sleeping peacefully. I slowly open my notebook and sketch a quick picture of the magnificent bird.
Suddenly, the animal lifts it's head and gazes at me, it's eyes alarmed and ears straight up. "Y-Your not a bird!" I stutter and quickly stop myself from falling backwards with shock. "I've heard of your species... Hook... Hook Tail? No..." I reach into a bag I bring with me everywhere I go and pull out a book. It is an ancient book containing all of the strange species that inhabit this world I had checked out of the library. I seemed to show my great interest in the book, because the librarian kindly let me keep it. I quickly flipped through the pages until I came to the oldest looking page. It is yellowed with age and the writing seems slightly faded. I look closely at the picture and then at the strange creature that studies me cautiously. "Hook-Beak Gryphon!" I exclaim. "That's what you are... Never seen anything like you.." I say softly. Bending down in front of the Gryphon, I slowly extend my hand. He slowly sniffs my hand, his weary eyes never leaving mine. I slowly withdraw my hand, but the small Hook-Beak snaps at my hand with fear. I quickly yank my hand away and take a deep breath of relief. "Sorry, buddy.." I reach into my bag and dig out the apple I brought. Setting it down in front of him, I slowly back up but watch him. He sniffs it cautiously, and bites a good-sized chunk off. He seems to prefer meat, as he doesn't take another bite, but looks rather hungry. Moving a bit closer, I smile at the small Gryphon. He watches me, now intently, and slowly puffs out his brilliant feathers. I laugh at the sight of the silly creature and reach my hand out once again. This time, he makes no move to bite my hand or flee, but stares at my hand as if he has known it's gentle touch for years. Before I can react, the small gryphon pushes his beak softly into my palm as a sign of trust. "Hey little guy... Would you like to be my companion?" I ask, not really expecting an answer. The small creature lets out a shrill chirp and folds his wings. "Gyro.. What do you think?" I ask. Originally, I had been saving that name for a horse, if I should ever get one, but a Gryphon would do. Gyro lets out a purr and rubs his beak against my knee. "Gyro it is then!" I say cheerfully.

Oh wow. O.o So sorry for the long story. XD I was inspired by this beautiful boy. <3

Short Story:
I woke up in New York on a chilly morning.
First day of spring. Birds chirping, kids playing below.

I opened my windows and turned on the radio in my apartment. Looked down for a while, then read my book on my most comfortable chair. All of a sudden a winged animal came flying in through my window and landed on me. With my eyes closed, I pushed it off me and backed away from it. Then, I opened my eyes.

He was staring at me, while I was in shock.
I thoughtvto myself "those creatures aren't real.. or I thought they weren't. Am I dreaming..?" Then he crawled under my bed, his heart beating fast.

"Ima name you skyscraper because you flew into the tallest apartment in New York , little guy." He looked freaked out.

I got a piece of chicken from my fridge and held it out.
he stepped closer to me.
Then closer. And again. Then snatched the chicken and ate it.
he looked at me, then hugged me like a humans. I put my arms around him carefully, avoiding his wings. He chirped in a calming sound. I think I found a new friend.

A few weeks later we moved into the country.
He went and soared into the sky.
