"He's the leader of ou- SHIT! BIRDS!" He banked steeply to avoid the flock of mountain birds. "He's the leader of our Colony, head elder. He tries to improve relations between us and the humans."
"He's also technically my uncle, although he's my adoptive, uncle-figure. No blood relation whatsoever. Me and him are literally two of a kind. My mum is a Crystal-back, from Connlaoth, and my dad is a Gryphon, both my adoptive parents." He didn't care about his old parents. They died, that was that. He never knew them, so he didn't feel sad.
