This peregrine/cheetah griffon is the queen of speed! That blur that raced by you might just be her. But don't worry, she's very friendly and always willing to have a chat, unless it's mealtime.

He Chuckles, Planning To Ask Anyway. Suddenly He Gets An Idea. He Picks Up A Sandwich And Ask, "Hey,
He chuckles, planning to ask anyway. Suddenly he gets an idea. He picks up a sandwich and ask, "Hey, we're gonna go swimming at some point, we'll need to get you a swimsuit. Wanna go into town and find one?" he asks, casually taking a bite of his sandwich.
Gale nearly chokes on her sandwich. After much coughing and gagging, during which Rider would likely have patted her back to help, she takes a sip of water and a deep breath. "Uh, well, I guess I should have one if we are gonna go swimming... Nothing I have with me would really be appropriate..."

He nods. "Alrighty. I should probably get a new swimsuit myself." he says absentmindedly. He continues eating his sandwich and pops open a bag of chips, offering them to her. "So, did you enjoy the lake?"
She takes a few. "Thanks. Yeah, it's really nice and peaceful up there. And the water was nice and cool, but not cold." she gets a tingle from remembering it.
He grabs a few out of the fridge, packing some things as well. "There we are, nice and cool." he says as he packs everything. "I'd say we're about ready, wouldn't you?"
Gale helps pack, her hands brushing his as they both fill the bag. "Yeah, I think we're good." she sets the sandwiches in last to not get squished.
She tries to shoulder the strap of the bag, only to set it down quickly with a pained squawk. "Ow ow ow ow ow."
Gale: Well guess I know what class I fall into now.
The Griffus Empire
My research turns toward the north horizons of the Known World, beyond Equestria frontiere.
The great Griffus is, from our knowledge, one of the oldest and most successful civilzation. Built in the War for Midgard, which last for millenias, way long before Equestria gets discovered. Griffin emerged victorious and claimed the norse lands as theirs.
From those ancient times, we’re told that griffin linked themselves to a legendary creature known as Fenrir, the Great wolf. He is ever since their emblem and symbolize their strength.
[Picture 1] A griffon is depicted as a multimorphologic being, they possess a felin lower body, and their upper is generaly the one of a bird of prey. Some think that hippogriffs and griffin are long lost cousins. Note that even if the lower body is cat like, they actualy lay eggs.
Griffin are hunters and fishers by nature and by necessity. Their cat body can’t sustain nor grow properly without essential elements found in meat.
From their heritage, three creatures are representative of the empire : The Wolf represents strength, the Lion inspires courage and the Eagle is associate to knowledge and cleverness.
[Picture 2] The actual Emperor of Griffus is named Or’Odrynn the 3rd, his reign started almost three thousand years ago. He personaly assisted princess Luna and Celestia during the last moments of the War of Discord to overthrow the Lord of chaos.
To give an idea of his stature, from my commanding officer witness, he’s by far taller than princess Celestia.
The Emperor is designated as the avatar of Fenrir, as such he disposes of tremendous mistycal powers to guide his people through this world. As long as an offspring don’t see the day, like Alicorns, the life span of an avatar is indefinite.
[Picture 3] Our half-cat, half-bird friends possess a lot of different features in colors and forms, but there is also some similarities.
The first family is the most common : Eaglegriffin. They usualy have an athletic body and are oftenly related to strength.
Then we have Hawkgriffin. they can be recognized easily by their complet lack of fluff from their feathering. They’re agile by nature, compared to the average. I’m going to make some ponies grumpy by this statement, but until today, hawkgriffin own the highest flying top speed records ever registered.
The last and rarest are Owlgriffin. They have the most peculiar body which make them easily spot. They possess large ears and deep black eyes, their plumage is more dense and most of all, their talons are composed differently, 2 front fingers istead of 3, and 2 thumbs. Through the ages, owls were oftenly refered as wise advisors and knowledge keepers. Oh and yeah, they can rotate their head 270 degrees … creepy !
[Picture 4] Our last point concerns the military composition of Griffus.
You have to know that griffin are at ease on two and four legs. The most common guards that you will notice across the country are (1)Skywards, dexterous spear or sword users, their basic equipment also count a crossbow.
(2)Squalls are the templars of the Empire, heavy armored and weaponized, their trainning is way more instense than casual guards. Their duty consists to protect the Emperor and complet complicated missions from his personal call.
Finally, (3)Stormcallers are the magical cast of the army, even if unicorns are born with an inner talent for magic, other races know how to master it. Even if this gift is rare amongst griffin, close links to the wind elements have made those wizards masters in controlling the sky, which on the contrary to our, is wild by nature.

"It was nice. Kinda makes me sad I don't get up there more often." he says, eating some chips. He moves to grabs some wine, unconsciously moving closer to her as he does.
Gale doesn't notice him getting closer, for the moment she leans back against the tree as she eats. She takes a look up through the branches. "This tree's really neat, even if you can't really climb it.
