The Perfect Pet

Jablin was walking around, yawning, looking at the small animals. She wasn't sure if she had enough drachmas to afford one, but who cared? You could just look at the pets. She really wanted a weapon more than anything, even a pet, but a pet was second. Jablin grunted as she came across the snakes. She hated reptiles. Well, actually, just snakes. Jablin continued to look.

Nic grinned as he opened the door to the pet store and called to his friends as the walked away. Yeah, I'll see you guys later. Just gotta make a stop to pick up something. Nic turned back to the store inside and started to look around. He was looking for a dragon, one that wasn't a baby but wasn't too small either. They never seemed to have the right size anymore. "We have a dragon that is just big enough to not fit in here out back. She's your's if you want, Nic." The store owner spoke and Nic grinned again. Yeah, I'll take her for a pet.

Jablin saw the person (Nic) getting something in the back. When she had asked, they said he needed a special ticket pass to look back there. She looked around, quickly spilling some dog food. All the dogs smelt it nd started barking. Then, in the moment of confusion, she army-rolled up to the backdoor. She went back, seeing the dragon, and the boy. Jablin jumped back a little. "Wow! Is she yours?" she asked the boy, pointing at the dragon.

Nic had heard the food spill as he walked up to the back door and opened it. It was obvious that the girl who had been in the front of the store had wanted to see what was back here, he could tell by her stance when he had entered the store, and so he assumed that she had caused a distraction to get near the door. Then her voice sounded next to him and he turned to her. Yeah, the dragon is mine. She was a special order that I've been waiting for for a few months. Anyhow, I'm Nic, son of Styx.

Jablin nodded. She saw as the workers gathered, cleaning it up. She couldn't believe some campers were desperate enough to work in a place like this. She turned to the boy, nodding."I'm Jablin, but I guess you could call me Jab or Lin, if you wanted. I'm a daughter of Ares, a bit new to this camp....how many years have you been here? You seem like you really know this camp."

Nic grinned to himself and then spoke. I've been at Camp for nearly two years but I have learned a lot about the camp in that time.

Jablin nodded to Nic. "So, since you're a child o' Styx, are you Immortal? Can you teleport to the Underworld?"

((Wow this topic was forgotten about. Let's assume that Nic answered her questions and left.))

Austin walked into the small room and looked around, seeing all of the many cages and holds where many different pets were hidden. Still, he couldn't tell if the pet was here or not, so Austin walked up to the counter and rang the bell. When the kid walked out from the back room, Austin grinned and spoke. "So, did the gryphon ever arrive?" Austin was surprised when the kid nodded and then tossed him a key. Through that door over there. But be ready to fight your way out of there. Austin nodded grimly and then stepped over a few boxes of food and into the room. He wasn't real shocked when he saw the great mount but he was surprised when he saw the gryphon bound to the walls and pillar in the center of the room. With a shriek, the gryphon tried to bust free and then settled down. It was huge, the size of eight horses long and the same horses wide. The wings were a good 60 feet long in full span with large feathers that looked like they could be shields. For size off the ground, the Gryphon was about the size of two normal full grown men tall. This was a vague idea since the beast was in captive state at the time but Austin was pretty sure it was large. He smiled and walked to the bird slowly. "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. It is actually the other way around. You're free from these chains as soon as you know that I am your master." The gryphon stared into Austin's eyes and then with the shriek came a telepathic link from the creature. "I am your friend, Austin Greene. This is meant to be because I have decided not to kill you immediately. Now could you please release me." Austin nearly fell but he steadied himself and nodded. "What is your name, oh great Gryphon?" Austin asked as he unchained the majestic beast. "I am Servathe, the once proud Gryphon of the Midwestern Great Plains." As soon as the chains fell, Austin tossed the key to the kid waiting outside and then he tossed the bag of drachmas as well. It was the exact amount and Austin knew that. Then he climbed up and Servathe took off with the young adult offspring of Nike.
