G-Giovanni-Adult-3

"RUN CHICK!" Was all Giovanni could yell as the small shadow of a diving gryhpon neared gave away it's position. He barely had time to turn and swat the white vulture away before another, much large gryphon came crashing down on him.

He had just run off from the annual twistolt nonsense ceremony that had shown in the smoke the large gryphon stealing a small human child away from the woods. Giovanni knew his secret had been discovered, and had immediately set off to take his small child and hide her away somewhere else.

He had found the small thing right after coming of age, and his heart swooned for the tiny thing. He couldn't help it. Even as a chick the human's red curly hair and massive green eyes had stolen the gryphon's heart. Throughout the years, as he became more and more involved with the politics of the aery and more and more involved with those politics underneath the table, he had cared for the little girl secretly near the hunting plains of Grandesque.

Unfortunately for him, the wrong gryphons were flying at the most inopportune time. He was just about to pick up his innocent Chick and move her to another safe house when the two Vulture Gryphs swooped down and began to attack.

An intense battle began, Giovanni's size a large factor in him keeping his own, but he could soon tell his chances of winning were slim. The little girl Gio was protecting had learned early on to obey every skwack and crow that he would yell at her, and immediately had taken cover behind a rock when he had told her to run. The skrekril gryphs had not seen her, and were apparently just here to harass Giovanni. He fought hard to keep them away from where the young Chick was hiding, but everything went wrong when the larger orange vulture pinned Gio down and sunk his sharp beak into his neck. A loud screeching roar escaped Gio's mouth, and the little Chick stood up over her rock to see what had happened.

"Gee?" Came the soft voice from behind the rock. The battle stopped momentarily, as the two skrekril looked up and stared, while Giovanni cringed at what had been made known to them.

In that split second of silence, Giovanni kicked off the large gryphon and grabbed the smaller, pinning her down and reaching out to grab the larger. The white one squirmed between his paw, while the other reached his large hooked talons and stuck it unforgivably upon Gio's head and raked a huge gash upon his skull, trying to get to Chick. If it were not for the love that Gio had for the small thing, the skrekril would have reached her and who knows where she would be today. But, bearing the thrumming pain upon Gio's skull, he used his mass, wings and every inch of his strength to bring the gryphon to the ground. As he shoved them both hard into the ground, he leaped off of them, scooped the girl onto his back and took off, beating his large wings as hard as he could into the air.

Chick held on tightly as Gio's blood slipped down his head and onto his neck, coating the child's arms in the red liquid. The two skrekril were hot on Gio's tail, but the large gryphon's strength kept him just out of reach. Luckily for him, the larger vulture gryphon did not seem to be as comfortable in the air as the other, and Gio was quickly out distancing him. The white vulture was keeping up with him though, her fierce eyes locked on his prize as he flew towards his aery.

Gio's loss of blood was soon making him weak though as his breathing sped up and his muscles screamed in pain. He would not have been able to keep up his speed if it weren't for a sudden screech from below, as three gryphons sped into the sky. Gozah, Syam, and Ava, all present at the twistoult gathering were just leaving and had spotted Giovanni's large form in the sky being harassed by two other gryphons. With a yell they flew into the air, coming to their fellow grandesquian's need and saved the gryphon and his treasure from being killed.

The two skrekril were quickly outnumbered and over powered, and soon fled towards their homeland. Gozah, Syam, and Ava had turned in the air to ask Gio what had happened, when they saw his unconcious form laying on the ground far below. He had barely been able to make a soft landing for the precious package on his back before the loss of blood brought him to total darkness.

But his Chick was safe.
