The Griffin was a magical beast which originated from Greece. It had the front legs, wings and head of a giant eagle, and the body, hind legs, and tail of a lion. The main diet of the Griffin was raw meat. Griffins were known as fierce creatures; however, despite this, skilled wizards and witches were able to befriend them. Griffins were often used by wizards as guards of treasure, like Sphinxes. Newton Scamander kept a Griffin in his basement at 9 Sherringford Square in 1927. During the 1988–19

Genesis en Duvall zijn meegenomen door heer Griffin en worden gevangen gehouden in zijn zwaarbewaakt fort. Maar er klopt iets niet. Griffins gedrag is vreemd en hij lijkt Genesis niet uitzonderlijk wreed te behandelen, terwijl hij dat wel met zijn broer doet. Duvall wordt gemarteld en balanceert op het randje van de dood, maar Genesis krijgt alles wat ze wil en wordt door de kille man behandeld met liefde en een verrassende tederheid. Ondertussen is Pax onderweg naar Terra met het grootste geheim dat hij ooit mee heeft moeten torsen op zijn schouders. En als iemand erachter komt, staat de toekomst van Terra voor altijd op het spel. Cover by @RachelS8766

Scythian Griffin holding a stag head in its beak. From Pazyryk, Russian Altai mountains, 4th century B.C. Saint Petersburg, State Hermitage Museum. ***************************************************************************** This intimidating male headgear was found in the tomb of a Scythian chieftain in the Altai mountains in Siberia. Around 2,300 years old, it’s thought this headgear may have been worn by the chieftain in his final battle, as the damage to it corresponds with the fatal wounds on the man’s head. The carving depicts the head of a fantastic eagle, holding a deer head in its beak, with figures carrying geese on either side. These elements were part of a complex headpiece which consisted of a decorated felt cap topped with an elaborate wooden crest.
