Medici's baby picture

Komi, Kagan and Nemisis are from the Adoption Centre.
Medici is from The Isle of Grimmorph.  Make sure to visit and see if there are any eggs available for adoption.
Nukubati is from Tir'na'bainne'gile'láir
Back to the Meadow    Home to the Path

Lying on a sturdy branch and watching the antics of the young ones is Nukubati.  He can often be seen perched here in the highest reaches of the tree, or off visiting his siblings.  Not one given to idle chit chat, he nods solemnly at you and goes back to watching Komi and Kagan tussle.
If you should like to see pictures of all his growth stages just ask him and he will fly you to them.

  As you reach the higher branches you can make out the two young gryphons practicing their leaps and pounces on each other.  Just then one of them spots you and makes a flying leap to land at your feet.  Grinning widely at you the young gryphon demonstrates his skill by launching himself again into the air.  "That'ssssss Komi" a voice says from behind you.  "And I'm Kagan his sssisssterrr.  Sssometimesss he getsss a lllittllle overrr active.  We arrre hoping to lllearrrrn the ssskilllllssss quickllly sssso that we can find ourrrsssellllvesss matessss and have lllairrrssss of ourrrr own.    I musssst now get back to my practisssing or Komi willlllll masssterrr them firrrsssst". 

At the top of the stairs Nemisis is waiting for you with a very large and impossing Grimmorph.  "See Medici, I told you we had a visitor."  Medici looks at you closely.  "Yesssss, ssssso I sssseee.   You have come to ssssee our young onessss?  Wellll, thisss issss wherrrr we teach them theirrr flllight and hunnnting ssskilllsss.  Onccce masssterrred they find lllairrrs of theirrr own.  Rrright now we have but thrrree young onessss.  You can sssseeee the otherrrrs furrrtherrr up the trrrrreeee."
When she see's you she bounces up with a big grin on her face.  "Hi, Hi, HI!!! You are to visssit me??!! 
You come to visssit Nemisis?"  Unable to resist such a friendly little one you grin back at her and nod and tell her you came to visit her and all her friends.   "Frrriendsss, I have many frrriends.  Come, I ssshow you!"   With that Nemisis bounds up the stairs using her wings for extra momentum, and almost blowing you back down the stairs in the process. 

You start up the stairs spiraling around the tree as you go.  Luckily you glance down just in time to keep from tripping over a young gryphlett laying in a sunny patch on the stairs.

You walk over to the tree and are met at the base by Aquiel 
"Sssso you arrrre come to sssseee the Grrryphonss?  I wellllcome you to ourrr home! We have alllll come herrre frrrom many differrrent worrrllldsss, I myssselllf wasss hatched herrre frrrom an egg obtained frrrom the Adoption Centrrre.
To meet the otherrrsss  jussst prrrocede up the ssstairrsss arrround the trrree."  Aquiel chuckles as she calls out after you,
"I hopesss you have no fearrr of heightsss!"
