Rick looked from Jonah to Sky and back again. He then looked at his own bird, Orin, and asked him a question, only in his mind, testing the power of gryphons. "Can we talk as well?" In surprise he heard a response. "Yes, I can. Even though you're a mortal, you still have the power to speak with me, through the mind, body and soul." Rick smiled at Orin and nodded before hugging his gryphon and then turning to Jonah. "We missed the 'kids' childhood...We're awful parents..." he said jokingly. Maniah smiled at both Jonah and Rick. They seemed quite happy with their new gryphons and that was good.

"Well I'm glad that you four are getting accuianted but we have to move away from here. The Princes Cranes patrol this area thouroghly." Quarna told her company, waving them down the trail away from the city. They walked in relative silence for a while until they came to a shabby tavern on the side of the road. Quarna ran to the back door. "In here," she whispered. "The Gryphons can hide in the barn." She led her friend's inside.
Dispite its shabby exterior, inside was a beautiful and well furbished place. A rather portly man came from into the back from a loud boystrous tavern, and stared.
"Quarna?" he asked, bewildered.
"Yes uncle its me. And it's time I took back my kingdom."
~~~~*~~~~ so here it starts, a revolution to save a kingdom. Cue climaxful music!

(lol) Rick looked about the place and it seemed quite nice. "Is this where you live?" he pondered aloud. Orin left Rick be and went about to explore. Maniah looked about as well and soon watched the two gryphons hurry off to a special spot in the barn, finding a good place where they could sleep well for the night.

"Oh, no!" Quarna exclaimed. "though when the Prince was in his darker moods, Uncle Tio would always be willing to help me hide. And once I met Pyde, we used this place as our headquarters." Quarna turned to Tio.
"Uncle They will be coming for you. But I have a secret, I have full grown riders." Tio stared.
"You can't! Last I heard the last two gryphons were eggs." Tio stared at her in disbelief.
"Ah, but you know as well as I do that gryphons are affected differently by time & space jumps than humans." She explained, an odd lilt to her voice.
"But that means..." Tio's sentence wavered.
"Yes uncle, we are going to war."

Rick looked from Jonah, to Quarna, to Maniah and to Gerret and back again. War? Rick had never been in any sort of ROTC group at school, none the less any training of any sort. He never was a firm believer in war, but this? He could understand why they would need to go to war...For Quarna...But still... "When?" Rick asked. He hoped he'd have enough prep time for mind and body. Maniah looked about. If there was to be a war, she was not afraid to stand by their new friend's side and fight. She was trained well in magic and had a few nice tricks up her sleeve. Sometimes being alone in her spell shop too long made her read almost every book in it and learn the new spells and potions out of bordem.

"We'll need to get together the Rebels and send out our abasadors to the Yavanna Isles, they always liked my father. Can you handle the people, we don't want any unessasary deaths in this. Also make sure the spies hear about this." Quarna winked.
"Why would you want the spies to know?" Jonah asked.
"Simple, I want the Prince and his subjects to hear of my return and of my Riders. I want to strike fear into their hearts, make them shake in their boots." Quarna smiled wickedly. "Now you and Rick come with me, I have to get you ready for this battle." Gerret came up to her.
"What about me?" He asked grabbing her hands.
"Oh I haven't forgot about the rest of you. Honey can you handle the mounts?" he nodded happily. "There are more than just horses there. There are drakes, unicorns, riding cats and loads of others. Be careful, the hippogryphs bite." She kissed him and he vanished.
"Now Maniah I'd like you to handle the supplies. I'm sure inventory wasn't your absolute favorite thing to do at your store but you must ahve an idea." When Maniah nodded a little grudgingly Quarna put a hand on her shoulder. "and theres a very cute assistant in the stores that I'm sure isn't gay." She smiled, and Maniah left off in a much better mood.
"And as for you two, follow me." She led them out to a clearing in the woods behind the tavern Sky and Orin resting in the sun. Their large feathered bodies rising and falling as they breathed, and leaning against each other. "Now while one of you is most certainly mortal, a gryphon can brign out certain magical attributes in any person. Their power is channeled through you." She motioned to Rick. "Come here. Now I want you to move that rock." Rick looked at her quizically.
"I can't perform magic." Quarna smiled.
"Trust me." Rick sighed and waved his arm at the rock. He was surprised to see the rock shoot into the air. "See now all riders have the powers of telepathy, as you've both experianced with your mounts. Telekinesis, which Rick just demonstrated and I know Jonah already knows how to do, and the final power is very rare, but some Rider's possess the powers of Pyrokinesis."
"Pyro-what?" Jonah asked. Quarna just smiled.
"Raise your hand at that stump over there and think of it on fire." Jonah did as he was told. The stump burst into flames. "Its a rare ability assosiated only with Riders of female gryphons. And only males can perform telekinisis, but its more common." She turned and grabbed two swords from the ground. "Catch." She picked up her own sword. "Ready?" She lunged with her sword.
~*~*~ I think we should jump ahead a few hours after this. To when Quarna is finished with them and they're eating. Just to save time, and so I don't have to keep writing battle scenes. I'll have enough later.

(Sounds like a plan.) After a few hours of practicing sword fighting Rick was utterly famished...and tired. He shouldn't have expected anything other then swords since this time was older then their's but he half heartedly hoped they'd deal with guns rather then swords. At least behind the trigger he was safer, or so he felt. He was happy when the practice session ended and could finally sit down for a bite to eat. Sweat dripped down his body as he sat on top of a rock for a small break, wondering when they were to eat. He looked over at Jonah and saw his own sweat drenched body, and to his surprise, was quite enjoying the sight. Apparently he was getting his bi eye candy in for the day. Maniah had left for the inventory room and was still in it when the two guys had stopped fighting for a bit. She had indeed seen a cute...no...hot assistant there. He was eye candy enough, but...He wasn't Jonah. She knew she'd have to move on. It was very unlikely for a gay guy to turn straight, magical or not, but it was going to take her a while.

I love typing in Photo class! ;D ~*~*~*~*~*~
Jonah had noticed Rick watching and suddenly had an urge to show off. He made an effort to flex his muscles as he lifted a crate full of bread for dinner, unknowingly mimicing Sky as she flirted with Orin. Jonah felt his body responding to amounts of lust he hadn't known he could produce. He advanced on Rick, who, by his actions was feeling similar.
A cry from the gryphon field caught everyone elses attention. In a burst of strength, Sky lept fromt the ground, her body glowing in the late evening sun. Jonah paid it no mind as Skies emotions played with his head and body. He screeched like his gryphon when a disgustingly feminine touch reached him.
"Don't loose her," Quarna whispered in his ear.
"What," he asked, coming out from his gryphons enduced sex drive momentarilly.
"Don't loose her in your own desires. Or we loose them both." Jonah heard her and tried to understand, but he was suddenly inside Skies head, feeling her emotions and desires. Sky-Jonah flew high into the sky, reveling in the feeling of flight, the wind in her feathers. It was amazing. She looked behind her at Orin and called to him, taunting her chaser.
Come and get me Orin, catch me! Show me what you have, make me want you! she called. And flapped her large wings to gain altitude. Sky-Jonah enjoyed the feeling of flight for a while, loving the power their wings gave them. She closed her wings and dove, streaking past Orin, who fumbled in the sky. She quickly gained the lost altitude, and once again looked back at her chaser. She couldn't see him.
Suddenly a shadow appeared over her, and Orin descended on her. She gave into him, and they fell. They plummeted to the ground until they both opened their wings to check their speed and glided aboutt the sky, saving their species.
Jonah gasped as he returned to his body. The sudden loss of Skies feelings was almost to much. His vision blackened. Rick's hands were quickly on his shoulders, holding him up.
"Don't loose it now, if we faint we loose them." He whispered huskily. Jonah nodded, he was suddenly washed with a wave of emotions from their happy gryphons, and couldn't help but kiss Rick.
"And now," Jonah said around Rick's lips. "We bring them home."
~*~*~ Wow! The rebirth of a species, saved by a Princess. Who would have ever planned Rick for this. I wonder what he'll feel after the sex? >_<

Rick looked down at Jonah for a few moments before smiling and kissing his friend...No, lover back. Never in his life would he have thought that he'd wind up being with a man and liking it, never mind giving himself up to one. He always thought he was meant to be straight and that his bi-ness was just a faze of curiousity, turned out it was so much more than that. Rick straightened up and rearranged his clothing, calling back his own gryphon as he did so, bringing him home. He knew Jonah needed to do the same and that's basically the only reason why he stopped himself from having a make-out session with him. After a few moments he felt his gryphon coming back to reality, quite pleased with himself and flying back down with his mate. Rick stood up and made sure Jonah wasn't going to faint before doing so and looked about. Supper was completely forgotten between the two of them. They had been so caught up in one another...He wondered if the others were waiting. Maniah sighed. Quarna said Jonah was bringing the bread for supper and that they'd be there any minute...That was nearly an half an hour ago. Her stomach rumbeled as she looked about the house. It was a quaint little house and she liked it enough... Suddenly she felt a pain in the pit of her stomach and it wasn't that of hunger. It was as if she somehow knew what was happening between the two men from her world. It was over, there was no bringing Jonah back from the gay world and making him straight...Or even bi...It was over.

Okay I'm going to try this, most of the people knew where they went. Quarna had been waiting for it actually. But I can work with this. ~***~
Quarna looked at her new friend as she looked up the stairs to the room Jonah and Rick were in. She walked ove to Maniah and put a reassuring hand on her shoudler.
"Come on, they'll be down soon enough. Gryphon flights can change the world you know." she smiled at her friend. "Come on, you helped me back in Sanfransisco, now its my turn to help you." Maniah looked at her friend questioningly before she was dragged off to a room full of clothing.
"This," Quarna said, "is my royal closet, its been locked by difficult spells for a long time and now I opened it here to attach my earth one."
"But why am I here?" Maniah asked.
"Because, theres been a bit of a party planned and we both have to look our best. And incase you haven't noticed, there aren't many pairs of jeans lying around." That got a weak chuckle out of Maniah. Quarna smiled and turned to her wardrobe. She picked out dress after dress, helping Maniah try them on, and only after she had found the right one for Maniah, did she pick one for herself.
~*~
Jonah opened his eyes slowly, he was in a bed, Rick's arms around his shoulder, it had begun to rain outside. He reached his mind carefully for Sky, and found her wrapped about Orin in the barn, warm and content. He felt Rick stir behind him.
"Come on, we have to get up." he nudged his lover in the chest and sat up, wrapping a sheet around him as he stummbled to the door.
"Where are you going?" Rick asked sleepily, shivering at the lack of covers.
"Seeing if Quarna was smart enough to leave us clothes." Jonah opened the door a crack and sure enough there on a bench were two packets of clothes, both labeled with names. Jonah looked outside for any onlookers, before grabbing the parcels he quickly closed the door. He tossed Rick the clothes with his name on it.
Rick looked at them sceptically. "What are these?" he asked as he lifted out clothing after clothing.
"I assume that the white thing is an undertunic, the blue one is your over tunic, and the pants are leather breeches." Jonah said as he examined his own clothing.
"How did you know that?" Rick asked.
"I didn't turn gay yesterday hon, I do my research." He smiled at Rick and began to dress.
~*~
The two came out of the room fully dressed, Rick in a white undertunic, blue tunic, dark brown leather breeches, and a belt with metal gryphon on it. Jonah wore a similar white undertunic, but his tunic was green, and his breeches al light tan. They were very well made ensembles, Quarna had done well for the new couple.
They found the back of the tavern strangly deserted. They walked about looking and finally all that was left was the tavern itself. They walked throught he swing door to masses of people and light.
"SURPRISE!" came the shout from the crowd.
~*~~*~ A party before the war. Have fun, make up NPC's flirt and be merry. This is also the perfect time to introduce new characters, so don't be shy, come help save a knigdom!

Rick looked about in utter bewilderment until it finally hit him. A surprise party for the two new riders. Well it certainly WAS a surprise, that was for sure. Soon the look on his face calmed and he smiled before looking at his lover. "What a surprise indeed..." he said with a smile. Maniah was a bit happier now then before, but mostly because she had already gotten at the potion bowl. And the fact that she had been cheered up a bit more by Quarna...but mostly the potion bowl.(Get it potion bowl instead of "punch bowl"? he he he) She walked up to the front of the crowd and smiled. She wasn't drunk...yet anyway. She had noticed the two just standing there smiling and walked up to them. "Why don't you two come and join the party? It IS for you after all."

Quarna grabbed Gerret's arm, leading him onto the dance floor. He resisted as best he could. She pulled him up to her lips.
"Listen, If you're to be my king, you need to dance with me. The royal couple almost always opens the floor." He sighed as he realized she was right. He had never told anyone yet, but he was actually a very good dancer. They stood by themselves on the floor. Quarna placed Gerret's hand on her hip. And looked at him. "Now don't watch your feet." She smiled and taunted at him.
"I would be more concerned to watch for yours." He retorted then signaled the band to start. The opening dance was what seemed to the Earthlings to be a modified tango, with some walts and salsa mixed. It was a difficult dance. Gerret and Quarna swung about the floor, twisting, dipping, spinning, like they wer the wind placed in a human body. At the second refrain Tio and his plumb wife swung onto the floor, as graceful as their niece and her partner. The dance ended with a long spin that finished with a low dip. Quarna clutched to Gerret as he slowly brought her up.
"Thats why I didn't want to dance." He told her. She only laughed.
Jonah had watched the couple as they twirled about the floor. He grabbed Rick's hand once the floor had been opened to try and teach him the salsa. They had fun laughing and falling together. He danced with Maniah, then Quarna as Maniah danced with Rick.
The next dance was something none of the earthlings had heard before. Gerret had learned the moves from Quarna's mind though and they stayed on the floor. Only Tio and his wife, and two other young couples stayed with them. The object of the dance was to stay standing as you tossed your partner higher and higher in time with the music.
The dance sped up as each couple tossed their ladies higher. One by one the couples slipped or dropped each other or fell off the beat, laughing happily as they did so. Only Quarna and Tio and their partners were left by the top of the song. As they spun faster to gain speed for the last toss, The music crescendoed until Quarna and her aunt left the ground in their mens arms. Quarna and Gerret ended with Quarna spinning around Gerrets neck to rest on his opposite shoulder. Tio and his wife ended a bit less dramatic, landing on their feet heavily.
"You've been practicing old man." Quarna called to her uncle.
"Only since you beat us, young niece of mine."

The next dance was something slow and intimate. The lights dimmed a bit more then they already were and that helped to cause the more romantic part of the scene. Rick smiled and looked over at Jonah for a moment before taking hold of his hand and leading him up on the dancefloor. "Come on...Let's go have our first slow dance..." he whispered into his lovers ear. Soon they were dancing on the floor and many joined them...All except for Maniah. The cute guy from from she was helping out earlier didn't seem to be anywhere near here. She sighed and looked down at the last gulp of potion in her cup. After staring at it for a little bit she saw it seem to be lonely too and gulped it down. Now it was no longer lonely...But she still was. Not that it mattered. After all...Jonah was happy. This was reassured by a look onto the dance floor where Rick and Jonah were dancing close together, occassionally sharing a kiss or two.

Awww. I can't leave Maniah by herself, she reminds me of me. ~~*~~ Quarna looked over at her new friend around Gerret's broad shoulder. She sighed at her friend. There wasn't a guy here that didn't want to dance with Maniah? Quarna began to move toward her friend. "Is that exactly what you want to do?" Gerret held her hand. "She needs comfort." Quarna replied staunchly. "No, she needs to mope. She just lost what she thought was her soulmate. You don't get over that with pity conversation and cute guys." Gerret silenced her response with a kiss. "You have to learn that just because you're destined to rule, you can't rule peoples indidual lives." "I know that." Quarna glanced at her friend. "I just wish I could help her." ~*~*~*~ Faran looked up from the punch bowl, he had grabbed someone's hand by mistake. "Sorry, my fault..." His words died on his lips as he looked at the woman he had acidentally touched. She was stunning. Being Torvallin born, he new of spiritik, but he never thought it could happen. But she was so stunning. "Hi, I'm Faran." ~*~~~*~ What will Maniah do now? Will this new man overcome her grief? OR will she pass him up for her unreachable Jonah? Stay tuned!

(Aww...You're not like Maniah...Maniah's like Maniah XD) Maniah looked up from the hand that had touched hers to the man that had just told her his name. "Faran?" she asked slightly dazed for a moment. "Oh...It's quite alright, by the way..." she said with a smile as she looked at him and smiled, "I'm Maniah." She wasn't feeling spiritik...at least not now, but he was certainly cute...Dare she say it, cuter than Jonah. Rick smiled down at Jonah. Who would have thought this friend could have become a love interest? He smiled and kissed him once more. "Jonah..." he began. (What's Rick going to say? Stay tuned to find out!!! Muhahahaha!!!)
