Free my boy I worked HARD on that edit

It took many years of training, Axylia was successfully able to teach Talon how to modify his body’s size through a Polymorphic Spell. Talon is capable of going from his normal 27ft self, to the size of an adult bear, to the size of an adult wolf which is the smallest he can make himself.

Now, in Axylia’s adulthood, Talon is her faithful companion, steed, guardian, and friend. The high intelligence of the Gryphons make them very capable of carrying out complex tasks and learning more complex concepts, including specific types of Magic.

2 years went passed and the Gryphon the girls named, “Talon,” was given the chance to be set free, much to the protests of a young Axylia. Because Syl was away, it had just been Axylia taking care of Talon, and the two had forged a bond so strong that the now 24ft Gryphon refused to leave her.

They cared for the Gryphon together and made sure it was properly fed. By the time it was around 8 months old, it had grown to the size of an adult tiger and became more and more difficult to keep secret. Their mother confronted them, but allowed the two to keep the Gryphon since they cared so much.

Axylia had found the Gryphon fledgling with her older sister Syl when they were both children. The little Gryphon had just hatched, but its mother was nowhere in sight. Axylia and Syl decided that they couldn’t leave it there to die, so they snuck it back to their home and hid it from their parents.

When she fully restored the fragments of her soul, she narrowly escaped the realm and returned to the overworld. The lord of that hellscape could have stopped her, but allowed her to go because in his eyes, he won the war of the mind. Upon returning, Axylia was cold, hardened and nigh-disillusioned.

Though it only felt like months to her, she’d spend nearly 2 and a half years living on the brink, and slowly reclaiming the fragments of her soul that she’d lost. Axylia hardly slept, survived off eating the demons and creatures she killed and overtime adopted a motto of “Killing First, Ask Later.”

The Necromancer used her as he did many unfortunate victims in a dark ritual that granted himself and his dark master power by using Soul Trapping Magic.

Axylia was one of few who was able to survive the ritual, but she woke up in this dark master’s realm, and sought to reclaim her soul remnants.

After learning that she’s already more than capable of assisting her people with everything she has experienced however, she finally relented and slowed down her arcane training to focus on other matters.

Axylia’s older sister, Syl, is a powerful mage who constantly seeks more arcane knowledge.

Both always had a fascination with magic, but Syl seeks to learn more to sate and renew her fascination.

Axylia, despite enjoying it, learned more due to feeling it was a necessity to better help others.

Axylia continued to develop her strength with Destruction Magic (Elemental) while delving deeper into Enchanting and Alchemy. Many around her thought she was following in her older sister’s footsteps to excel as a mage. However, her motives to improve with the arcane arts weren’t that simple.

Axylia’s accuracy with the bow on its own is deadly, and using Runes, she can make her arrows ricochet and change direction to hit more difficult or obscure targets.

She can also infuse her arrows with Fire or Light (or both) Magic and cause them to erupt into a potent burst when impacting targets.
