Heron’s Bonds

Pet Peeve?
First off I want to express my wonder that some people make a pet out of their peeves. I may have a few that reoccure, but as far as I know I have never fed nor housed them, nurtured or cared for them. That being said, like any other human there are boundaries and expected…

Creative Ideas
Someone who doesn’t know me very well commented that I was just full of ideas. I smiled, walked away and thought to myself, “you have no idea.” I know other people think, solve problems, and use their imagination; but I would guess that my thought process would make most people pull out their hair.

Grabon as King

Beasts and Birds
In the green sky world of NewEarth there are some fun beasts and birds that Athena my artist did a fantastic job of depicting. There is the puton, a large cat like creature, that is a top of the food-chain hunter. The fanger is like a wild boar, only bigger, and it eats everything and…

Deception
Not all deception is bad. Grabon and Heron deceived all the humans and dragons they knew, letting the dragons believe Heron was a human pet and letting the humans believe that Grabon was a dragon pet.
