Ariya frist thought was to run and hide but he couldn't find a safe place in time so he figured delaying the f***ing thing with price rock in his hand then run.
the Griffin was coming closer, the closer it got more Pressure ariya felt.
when Griffin was about 100 feet above ground something hit it with whooshing sound and started to free fall, hiting the ground in front of him with bang.
ariya looking at the Griffin breathing it's last with astonished expression, releasing the piece of rock in hand falling on his ass,
"it's dead" said ariya sighing in relief.
he know new isn't the time to relax, he must find out what killed the beast,so standing up in shaking legs he walked toward it.
Griffin corpse wasn't the best view espasilly the bones out flesh and blood mixed with rain, he almost vomited all his stomach out, reaching closer examining the corpse he find a arrow in beast heart.
'arrow? it means there's a intelegent life in this place, I finally can get out of here'
thought ariya delightedly.
"wait what if they aren't human? what if they kill me for no reason at all like some side character in novel's, what if..."
"but.. but.. I can't stay here"
he couldn't make decision,
risk it and wait for them to come or take his shot in the forest all by himself.
"best option is to see who or what they are"
figured ariya. running for a nearest tree kicking trunk of it jumping and hanging out in one of branches pulling up himself he said" that was awesome I'm like a ninja, who's this body belonged to? how did he dai? I hope he's dead the thought of possessing some poor guy doesn't seat well with me"
certainly he had a lot to figure out but for new he had to Survive form this difficult situation,
so he waited.
it didn't take long before he could hear sounds of armor and rhythmic foots getting nearer to his location.
the man in front of group of soldiers wearing iron armor and Hamlet take a look at the Griffin corps and turnend to soldiers and said
"search the place ,it couldn't gone far".
soldiers spread out turning the bushes for something, right where they came form a well build man wearing Leather clothing walk out of tree's and put his bow on his back.
Archer guy: "did you find it?"
knight guy: "not yet, we better be fast if princess found out that we lost the little thing we will be in trouble"
Archer guy: "don't worry it's here, Griffin's have a good eye sight and there isn't a damn thing in this forest for them to hunt"
meanwhile on the tree ariya was surprised that he could understand them, they weren't talking in any language he know yet he understood them and he could talk to them if he wanted to, it didn't matter to him how, important thing is that he can communicate With them .
Archer guy walks toward Griffin corps and pull his arrow out of it heart cleaning it with Griffin body he noticed foot prints on the ground and trunk of tree, without a delay takes his bow with his left hand and shoot arrow at tree.
ariya on tree branch paying attention to what they're doing, tryed to Dodge and lost his balance and fell on the ground dislocating his shoulder, before he could cry or stand up a sword was placed under his chin, he was terrified and calm at same time.
the knight: "what is your name and purpose of spying on us"
ariya felt is better to tell the truth and asked them to help get out of this forest so he kept a straight face and answered.
"my name is ariya and that thing was hunting me you guys killed it so I didn't know who you guys are and what you want so I hid myself"
the knight look him in eyes and turned looked Archer guy who has a arrow in the bow ready to fire made an eye contact then put his attention back to the kid on the ground and asked ; "where are you from kid?"
ariya: "I don't know?"
knight :"you don't know?"
ariya: "I woke up in the forest and I don't remember anything besides my name"
the knight puts his sword away and offered his hand to him, ariya takes his hand with open mouth and gets up.
Ariya : " that's it you believe me?"
knight: "even a simpleton knows that griffin's don't hunt human's so you are a complete idiot or not from here either way you're not a threat to us"
"Thank's, I guess" ariya answered in daze.
knight smiled moved behind him put his hand on his shoulder before he come to himself locating his shoulder and said "you're welcome".
ariya screamed wiping a tear off form corner his eye, just about to ask if they could take him with them he had enough of this god awful place he heard one of soldiers shout "found it" stealing everyone attention so looking for source of sound he sees a soldier running Thurs them holding something that seems like a dirty puppy?!
the knight fast walk toward soldier taking the dog out off his hands with caution looking at it all over sighted in relief "it doesn't seem to have hurt anywhere" which archer guy answered: "grate, can we leave now? I don't like to stay in rain more than necessary"
ariya who just figured out that the Griffin most likely was after the dog and remembering what the knight had said and what they must think off him Swallowed his embarrassment and ask:"Mr knight can you please take me with you to nearest town I don't know where to go"
the knight about to answer Archer guy turned and looked at him trying not to Laugh at his tense state and how he looked said:"sure, my name is sir William and try to keep up if you left behind I will not stop for you"
ariya releaved thank the man, after assemble his man sir William and the Archer start jogging soldiers behind followed and ariya start following soldiers.
