Just Another Day

The Scissortail council was rather intrigued with the news of an Imperial rebellion forming and did not take the time to be upset that an unauthorised visit had been made to the Weolcen to share news without prior approval. To Shanku's surprise, the council even made a request of her.

"Do you still keep company with Gryphons?" Niranjan asked.

"Yessir," Shanku answered quickly with eyes averted.

"We may need you to ask them for their assistance then," Niranjan stated.

"Sir?" Shanku asked, quite confused.

"A gryphon has sufficient speed to make for a nice messenger," Niranjan continued.

"With the size of the clans' territories, it is rather slow and awkward to meet between the elders regularly, and even our own messengers do not move quickly enough to relay messages. And with each clan having their own signalling system, it would take too long to train each other. So, we need something more quick and direct."

"The gryphons were a bit hostile the last time I saw them," Shanku cautiouned. "They may not be willing to work with us."

"Then arrange a meeting with those willing. We shall see to it they are fairly compensated," Niranjan finished. "You lot may go now."

A rather baffled group of three cubs and one escort dismissed themselves.
